[Omrii]

Damnit, who tripped the power cable?!

--Omrii

[Khariz]

I think Mordechai accidentally attacked it.

[HJFudge]

I think Mordechai accidentally attacked it.

No it was friggin Cher spamming her song

[Khariz]

No it was friggin Cher spamming her song

yep, forgot about that.

[Spooky]

Was having connection problems, thought it was my stupid ISP

[Bhaalizmo]

WTF?

I keel u (in the words of Achmed)

[JustDan]

WTF?

I keel u (in the words of Achmed)

Heeeey!! That's MY tired-ass joke to beat into the ground repeatedly.

... I thought Polyester and I got our asses handed to us so hard by that last warcamp, we overloaded the server. Fucking things.

[SpiffyJr]

... still down. Epic fail.

[Fortybox]

I am going through withdrawals already. Help.

[radamanthys]

So it wasn't just me? Good good. What a night, heh.

[calidus]

Cher sings:

"My father married a pure cherokee,
My mother's people were ashamed of me,
The indians said that I was white by law...
The white man always called me Indian Scraw..."

Cher sniffs.

[Shattered]-GSF:Mofuggah: "ohno Mr. Bill"

Mordechai rubs Cher.

[Shattered]-GSF:Leland: "lol"

Lord Tool just came through the wooden gates.

[Roll result: 223 (open d100: 120)]
Mordechai feints low, Tool buys the ruse and twists awkwardly to block the blow that never came!

[Roll result: 128 (open d100: 52)]
Cthulu charges towards Tool and attempts to grasp him in a ferocious bearhug!
Cthulu manages to catch Tool in a firm bearhug!

[Roll result: 19 (open d100: -81)]
Madmountan feints low, but Tool isn't fooled for a second.

[LNet]-GSF:Speedy: "ahh, if i was down there i would take a few down"

Shakira thrusts with a sonic lance at Tool!
AS: +232 vs DS: -21 with AvD: +35 + d100 roll: +17 = +305
... and hits for 193 points of damage!
Deft strike to abdomen penetrates several useful organs!

Cthulu unceremoniously drops Tool to the ground.

* Tool drops dead at your feet!

A subtle light fades from Tool's eyes.
A white glow rushes away from Tool.
The deep blue glow leaves Tool.
The light blue glow leaves Tool.

* Tool just bit the dust!

Shakira shivers.

Mordechai waves.

Cher gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Mordechai exclaims, "Hi!"

Starbuck says, "Gypsys tramps and thieves."

Madmountan concentrates deeply for a moment.

Cher sings:

"No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you"

Cher sings:

"It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back"

Cher sings:

"I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"


Tool's body decays into compost.

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong"

Cher sings:

"I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore!"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough"

Cher sings:

"Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough "

Cher struts about.

--- Lich: uberbar has exited.

--- Lich: lnet has exited.

--- Lich: infomon has exited.

--- Lich: narost has exited.

[Spooky]

Cher did it! Oh noes!

[Fortybox]

Cher sings:

"I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore!"


Ahahaha that's the best part.

[JustDan]

My guess is that it's too late (early?) for anyone to get out of bed and press the power button.

Startin to agree with you. This does not bode well...

[Omrii]

Well I'm out, I need some sleep I suppose. PC threads can only sustain me for so long. Night folks.

Ditto.

Looks like you can log into the wizard through the website.

[IorakeWarhammer]

any able to log in yet?

[Spooky]

You can log in, through the wizard SGE or through the site I assume. Stormfront is down, so lich doesn't work. Happy times!

[Deathravin]

so lich doesn't work

Gemstone without lich is like fishing... sober...

[jabst1922]

Glad i'm not the only one down...don't want you assholes having free scripting time while i'm at work and cant restart my scripts!

[JohnDoe]

Hrm, and my 30 day is about to expire. So I'm in the wizard right now and I got to check in and it doesn't display the option to change my stats... I can adjust my stats for the entire 30 day trial, correct?

Here's what my skills say:
You started this migration period on Sunday, 5/30/2010 at 09:28:34 EDT. You have 1 hour, 34 minutes remaining in your current 30 day migration period.

[JohnDoe]

Hmm, I might be screwed over here. Trying to adjust my skills too and when I commit my changes, they aren't being reflected in my character. Reopen web based view of skills again and none of the changes took.

[JustDan]

God dammit. Epic fucking fail. Still can't log in... this is insane.

[Deathravin]

That's messed up JohnDoe. You CAN log in via wizard on the website if you want to play with your stats...

[Deathravin]

There's some people with no job playing it with macros in Wizard right now, catching all of us up! the HORROR.

[JustDan]

There's some people with no job playing it with macros in Wizard right now, catching all of us up! the HORROR.

I'm officially at the point where the thought of playing without lich gives me the screaming horrors. When I randomly got all my ;go2 custom targets wiped in the last update, I seriously considered for a minute or two just cancelling my accounts and finding a new hobby. I quit GS before because it was boring. Lich in Shattered has been anything but, so far. But playing without lich? No thanks. I'll go outside or something.

[Monotonous]

This gave me a chance to turn my computer off for the first time in over a month.

Windows 7 is really stable, now that I think about it... I never once had an issue running it for so long without reboot.

Good thing I didn't wait up last night.

[JustDan]

Good thing I didn't wait up last night.

Some of us did, and are regretting it this morning. Gonna be a loooooooong day. Thank god this type of downtime is irregular. I wonder what time Simu shows up for work? 8:13 now, and you gotta think they just need to send someone down the hall to the server room and have them replace the power strip or something, turn it all off, then back on.

Tillmen's gotta feel pretty good right about now.

Hilarity would ensue if GMs showed up and started doing uber-alters and handing out vultite claids.

.... reason #1267671823561823 why I couldn't be a GM. I'd derive way too much pleasure from things like this. I'd do a raffle for 10m silvers, with 12 winners, that draws in 10 minutes.

[Gilralyn]

Shattered just went down, I think. Looks like they're working on it.

[Town Square Central]
This is the heart of the main square of Wehnimer's Landing. The impromptu shops of the bazaar are clustered around this central gathering place, where townsfolk, travellers, and adventurers meet to talk, conspire or raise expeditions to the far-flung reaches of Elanith. At the north end of the space, an old well, with moss-covered stones and a craggy roof, is shaded by a strong, robust tree. The oak is tall and straight, and it is apparent that the roots run deep. You also see an herbal remedy donation bin, some stone benches with some stuff on it, a blood-stained steel mirror, the Stone, a white marble frame surrounding a pale glowing blue portal and a flashing neon sign.
Obvious paths: northeast, east, southeast, southwest, west, northwest
