*** Neari just found a REAL ceramic mug! *** Type GEM to find out what this means!
......
So instead of gems, you can now find simu/gemstone merchandise in game? Well, thats one way to get rid of dusty merchandise sitting in that back closet... Besides selling Gemstone T-Shirts to Bob.
I think I have an old landing map mousepad I bought from Tsoran's site back in 99, somewhere in a box. :whistle:
PS. I wonder if SIMU will make the winner pay shipping/handling/postage...

lol.. most likely
"Your a winner! Now all you need to do is send us a self addresed shipping box, and $5 US for shipping, and within 3-4 weeks you will have your very own Gemstone MUG! How exciting!"

I bought a Gemstone Mug some time ago... it's a kick ass quality mug, my favorite. It's this silver marbled blue with a silver axe and Gemstone written on it, bad ass. (Oh, and it's huge, not your standard pussy mug)

Heh I think it's cool they're doing that. Gives me something new to search for besides gems.

At least you can use the mug. I've always wondered what people did with the cheap "gems" Simu sent to them. I bet they end up in a desk drawer somewhere and never see the light of day again.

I was going to take all of mine and turn them into jewelry, but at a regular jewelry store it would cost a bunch and I haven't had time to take them to my friend's dad who will do it for free.
I have a line of them displayed on my desk. It's kinda cool seeing them all.

Custom jewelry with poor quality gems that aren't worth much even if they were great quality to begin with? That'd be like putting nice rims and tires on a Yugo. Although, if your friend's dad makes jewerly from pasta and yarn it might work.

:lolwave: True...but if I'm not paying for it, who cares? At least if I make somethin with cheapo gems that I can wear, it's better than letting them rot on my desk.
It was just an idea I had anyway. Between not havin time and him livin 300 miles away, it's a little hard heh. I do figure if I'm going to have him custom make stuff, I'm gonna stud it with diamonds hah.

You don't pay on the real gems. And mine came priority.

Well so is finding a REAL GEM. I mean it's kinda neat that they're finding a minor way to give back to their customers.

at least the gem went with gemstone.. I mean augie the tart girl while eating her tart sitting on a toadstool suddenly looks down and discovers a brand new sun shield for her car windshield! Thats a little different then if you change that to " looks down and finds a gem thats a little more special then all the other gems she's seen before."

Bah I think the lot of you would complain if they gave out $ bills using the rational of, "It was only a five those cheap bastards".
I'll take a friggin mug. Who the heck cares.

I can see your point there. It just seems that with this type of thing it's going to be completely OOC anyway.

I have my Get Fuzzy mug at work (because I read my comics at work) and I keep my Gemstone mug at my desk at home (where I play Gemstone). I figure it's more appropriate.
...Although I only wear my GS T-Shirt on days where I won't be out in public.

Guess they can't afford real gems anymore.

The gems prolly cost less money. I have 2. One I found in plat over PSS and one I found years ago.
I would be happy with a mug.

I imagine there's a lot of variance, but the gem I got was actually a lot nicer than I was expecting. I plan to have it set in some jewelry eventually because of that.

I totally didn't even notice that till Daniel pointed it out and then had a chuckle.
You drunk bastard. :)

I've played that long and my friends don't know about it. In the Gemstone closet ftw!

I have the GemStone III mug that went on sale in '97.
I feel like a total badass drinking from it. Which is really sad.
Its crossed battle axe insignia has faded to almost nothingness too :-\

That's pretty much what happened to mine. You can get higher quality stuff out of the little quarter machines in front of Wal-Mart. But it's free, so who cares.

I won't let mine get washed in the dish washer, hand washed only, that's key, shiny as ever. It does feel bad ass though, it's solid.

none of you can top Celtic's shiny jacket that had Gemstone III in mega large letters across the back.
