Hope you're all enjoying our first Double Caffeine Weekend!
Just a heads up: remember you need to put something (anything) in the leave a comment for the author box to be entered into the drawing. If you leave it blank we don't get your global to enter into the contest and that'd be sad if you miss out on 2 Alignment Merits from that oversight.
Drink up, invent, and have a great Double Caffeine Weekend!

How are you going to give away Alignment Merits? Aren't they non-tradable?

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
The winner tells me what they want me to spend them on and I send the purchase/s thru global email.

To celebrate this weekend's big event we've made our first video!
The entire movie was scripted, shot & edited in about an hour, I hope you enjoy:

I just had my moment of enlightenment when I was watching the video and realize I picked St. Mart. as a zone to go to since it had a place to craft stuff. And it's not like I haven't seen this arc posted numerous times elsewhere. I even logically walked through how I thought it wouldn't be that useful. (smacks forehead)
Backfire gets my vote for coolest use of AE ever. Brilliant.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I'm thinking of framing that comment somewhere on my wall:

I should have run a best comment contest! Maybe next time | Dear sir, I stumbled upon your cafe while venturing into the AE building to avoid a storm of powerleveling in Peregrine. I expected a shoddy coffee shop, but was pleasantly surprised with a clean cafe full of tanks that brew shell flavored coffee. Needless to say, I will be attending this shop from now on. Furthermore, I shall visit more frequently for the next few days of Double Caffeine Weekend, leaving feedback each time. |
