  1. Alright, as promised, the two events are up.

    Shortly, the Staff will begin discussing PK Rules. I'm going through the discussion thread for that right now.

    Nothing personal, everyone, but if you have Staff needs please ask the PST's for the time being. I'm not trying to ignore anyone, but I have a great many Community things that I'm either running or working on.

      Loophole question!

      The final part of the rules state that level 25+ players are required to only use rank 1 and 2 sword arts.

      I am level 24, does that mean I can use my grandmastered weapon's rank 5 stuff?

    2. Mack

      Mack

      Yes, you're not Level 25+. However, the idea is for this to also still be fun for everyone... so if you'd wait until the second player rotation to do that I'd appreciate it, but I won't demand that you wait.

    3. Kalesh

      I getcha, I getcha. However I can only promise to try~!

      There are two schools of thought. 1. The reward is likely similar to Lyrica's, I don't need the killing blow reward as I will surpass its use very soon, after the thread in fact. 2. I don't know for a fact that will be the case, so can I risk passing up the chance of land a killing blow?

      Basically I'll flip a coin -if- I get the chance to kill the cow or not. If not then I'll let it slide on by!

  2. Eleventy Million Posts Later... I finally find the exit to @Lowenthal's "Escape" Quest.

    1. Macradon

      Macradon

      I went through it like a breeze ... but that's maybe because I'm a Scout Fighter

    2. Mack

      Mack

      Oh yes, I enjoyed it so much I lit the whole thing on fire on my way out the door.

    3. Zandra

      Zandra

      I still hvnt finished mine. I started about a week after he released it. Mbe at 10 posts or something like that

  3. Well, just got 40 mats from Lawfer... thanks pal, back in business, crafting now.

  4. I have an idea for a bragging rights thread for Level 20+ characters. If you're interested, drop me a PM and we can start a discussion thread. Should be a lot of fun if there's enough interest.

    2. Zelrius

      Zelrius

      I keed naturally. I would offer to join, But I rarely post. However, I will be keeping up just to see how it goes along.

    3. Mack

      Mack

      Naturally, Zelrius, none of us could hope to even be worthy to hold so much as a candle to you in the snappy dressing department :)

      I also see you're very handy with a weapon. :)

  5. Also, is anyone else having difficulty accessing their notifications on the board? Mine won't appear for anything, but everything else on the board is working fine for me.

    1. Takao

      Takao

      Mine are fine, but a lot of other people are having the same problem. Seems like it might be Invision borking up.

    2. Kalesh

      Kalesh

      Look down, like, three status posts :P

    3. Mack

      Mack

      I would just like to take this moment to say...

      I blame Koumori. :)

  6. Everyone that was in the COMBAT TUTORIAL THREAD where Mack and Xion dueled... thread's done, collect your rewards. :)

    1. Mack

      Mack

      33 Col Azide... don't spend it all in one place.

    2. Kalesh

      Kalesh

      Honorable mention to Takao for reminding me this existed.

    3. Xion

      Xion

      I have lost faith in humanity...again...even though that was in the past

  7. Sorry for the delays in posting in my shop. Poke me in the future if you've been waiting there for a long time.

    1. Hirru

      Hirru

      Mack, how many rares do you have stocked?  I may need a new sword until I can upgrade Patience and Time.

    2. Mack

      Mack

      I need to check through everything and get back to you and, at the moment, I need to read my shop posts to see how many people are in line.

    3. Kalesh

      Kalesh

      Well, if the line is long I can give you the scimitar as a down payment I suppose xD The katana and any other stuff coming once the order is ready! I really have no use for the scimitar, it's just wasting inventory space.

  8. Sorry for the delays in posting. Working on applying for a job in Zurich and it's a time consuming thing.

  9. Just spilled half a liter of soda all over me. Then I had to clean it up. Lesson learned: Don't try to do a fancy fountain pour into your mouth. It doesn't end well.

    1. Beoreson

      Beoreson

      Yes, I learned that lesson a long time ago. Sorry I didn't warn you.

      *thousand mile stare*

    2. Mack

      Mack

      At least it was a clear soda, since I'm at work and all. A cola would have been bad, as the uniform has a white shirt.

    3. Beoreson

      Beoreson

      That would have been very bad, and lucky you didn't pick up a cola.

  10. Happy Birthday Erroneous... welcome to the wonderful world of the same age as me! :)

    1. Hirru

      Hirru

      Now here's the more serious question.. Is Erroneous the one saying "F**k you" or is he Sarge with his shotgun chasing the trolls away?

    2. Jevi
    3. Mack

      Mack

      I'm going to go with... both.

  11. The great thing about being old enough to drink? Three beers north of 7% ABV, a boilermaker, and another beer after. Win.

    1. Mack

      Mack

      Right? But not so much alcohol that I can't still type coherently, so win.

      Kids, the lesson is, know your limits... and always drink responsibly.

    2. Piera

      Piera

      *Thumbs up* Piera approves of this message ;)  Have fun Mack.

    3. Carambit

      Carambit

      Beer is alright, I'm more of a scotch whiskey man, myself.

  12. Hilarious amounts of success on the Crafting Attempts today... the RNGods favor me.

    1. Kalesh

      Kalesh

      And now you are a bit more prepared for when they fail you! Huzzah! Gonna harass the local tailors for a plushie soon? ;D

    2. Mack

      Mayhaps I will, mayhaps.

  13. Quick head's up:

    1. I'm out of town tomorrow night through at least Friday night. Family stuff linked back to the earlier family thing I mentioned. I'll post if I can. Otherwise, see you all on Saturday night.

    2. I have to get my sermon done for work on Sunday, a few of you know I work as a Minister. I tend to keep that quiet. No, I'm not here to shove it down your throat, one of the reasons why Mack doesn't have a stated religious preference. :) But, it does mean that I have to get the sermon I've not started on yet done. :)

    1. Piera

      Piera

      I hope that you manage to enjoy your time with your family and that things go well.
      Also hope the muses inspire you for your sermon.

    2. Kalesh

      Kalesh

      Seeya then, enjoy yourself if you can!

    3. Lindow

      Lindow

      Have a safe trip! Will be seeing you soon!

      The post gap between level 16 and level 22 is truly staggering

  16. Also, I am willing to trade a Perfect Tier 2 weapon to any Tailor that can craft me a Perfect Tier 2 set of gauntlets with 3 ranks of Thorns.

    I'm returning to my original build of hit them as hard as possible and then make sure I get to hit them when they hit me too.

    1. Lowenthal

      Lowenthal

      So, I take this as you've returned then?

    2. Mack

      Mack

      Affirmative, Lowe. I'm back, but don't expect me to be rockin' 15-20 active threads at a time like I was. :)

    3. Lowenthal

      Lowenthal

      Ha, of course not. It's nice to have you back.

  18. @Heathcliff I find it quite amusing that your banner image from the Anime has fairly reasonable stand-ins for both Opal and Mack in the form of Asuna and Godfree, respectively. The irony amuses me.

    1. Mack

      Mack

      You can try. Let me know how that goes for you.

    2. Opal

      Opal

      Does that mean I have to switch to a Rapier now? zp

    1. Ratatosk

      Ratatosk

      Can we get a Lion King quest next and make Ariel the boss?

    2. Rain

      Rain

      ^throwing a lion off a cliff should be one of the objectives. >:)

    3. Ratatosk

      Ratatosk

      Make sure to avoid being caught by Lion tamer Ariel, otherwise your body will be missing a lot of limbs.

  21. Any Cooks, Alchemists, or Artisans looking to pick up some extra business?

    1. Grave

      Grave

    2. Rain

      Rain

  23. Alright, I think my profile, journal, and all is back up to snuff. Need to come up with 3 SP between now and the end of the raid to be at T3 when that drops, unless that rule changed while I was gone. I'll read the guides when I have some free time tomorrow.

  25. Is there a posting order for the Boss Fight Thread?

    I just crunched the numbers, and I can do something really amusing (and beneficial) if I go now.

    1. Mack

      Mack

      Nevermind, I thought I had a 12x AOE... I only have a 9x AOE.

      I thought I could dash in and, on just a basic hit, wipe 4 of the knights. I was wrong.

    2. Zelrius

      Zelrius

      Nine is fine. In fact, We were just talking about a new Start in Skype chat. Create a Group message with myself and Takao and I will go over my plan with you two.

    3. Mack

      Mack

      I can't Skype at work :(

      Just let me know what I need to do and I'll get right on it.
