when worn, removed, viewed


xxxxx positions a translucent rich violet almandine garnet with a florid carmine heart between his eyes so that it casts a sparkling reddish purple sheen across his face.

xxxxx touches his almandine garnet. It glows warmly for a moment and then falls away from his face.

You see some homo. He looks like a homo or a gem-crazy woman. A translucent rich violet almandine garnet with a florid carmine heart is positioned between his eyes, which casts a sparkling reddish purple sheen across his face.



some ambient scripts i've noted



A translucent rich violet almandine garnet with a florid carmine heart, which is set against xxxx's forehead, glitters brightly for a few moments.

The almandine garnet on xxxx's forehead dims, then suddenly brightens in a luminous plume of tiny silver and reddish purple sparks that radiate out from his eyes in a feather-like pattern.

A shower of dancing reddish purple and silver sparks flare up from xxxxx's almandine garnet.

xxxx's almandine garnet, which is set against his forehead, dims and then suddenly brightens again as silver sparks swirl within the gem.

The almandine garnet on xxxx's forehead flickers, as if a tiny reddish purple flame has appeared inside. Without so much as a breath of smoke, it is extinguished.


Sniped by Sylvan Dreams. 45m

He was digging pretty much the entire time. Anytime I went in, he was there tossing dirt. What did you blow on shovels?

Has to be somewhere near 10m. I sort of lost track since I was buying stuff from various merchants over the course of the week as well. I know I started with 106k 'til level, and now I'm at 93k 'til... Including my XXX in that time (wasted digging) and maybe one bowels hunt and a gem bounty... so that's at least 11k exp from digging =~ 10k shovels.

I am both amazed and repulsed by that much digging. Did you actually snag anything you wanted?

I really wasn't doing it in search of anything in particular. Mostly I just didn't have time to do focus on anything that required actually attention (mother-in-law and brother visiting for the last 2 weeks, and I'm getting ready to go to Afghanistan). So I figured digging was my best bet at getting something to make up for my $36.

I know it's way to low right? there were 33 people willing to bid 40m, surely 1 of them can spare 50m.

Or not...all 33 were like "40m is cool, but 41m+? Too rich for my blood!"

That completely sucks. Jarvan was working tonight and asked me to keep an eye on the auction. I was refreshing my browser every 2 minutes from 11:40 to 12:10 in case there was a last minute bid/update.

I was tracking that you were logged into the forums and updated some other auctions in the time between that PM and the end of the auction, so I assumed that if there was a new bid on the gem, I'd know it before the deadline and could bid as asked for Jarvan.

There really needed to be an update with the latest bid before the damn thing ended.
Doesn't seem like a fair way to handle things.

Sam

I suppose I should have said bids have to be made public. That would probably have made things more fair. My bad. Fucking forehead gem drama. I want out of this business.

I'm guessing there will be consequences that will never be the same.

Hey, good point!

calyx

but not the point ;p

I was supposed to bid the buyout, but only if there was another bid. Didn't know there was another bid until it was too late.

Sam
11-11-2010, 01:19 PM
Well I haven't spoken with Jarvan or Sylvan Dreams or Elrodin yet, but I do have another forehead gem, so maybe we can do something to make everyone happy.

This is like the belly gem craze of the late 90s, only less e-slutty

They've been going between 40-60 since their release. Who knows what the non-public sales of these things have looked like.
