[Trading] Castle IDOC results: Stop me from trashing this old stuff!

[bcolor=rgb(204, 205, 205)]Admit it, that was way more fun for an IDOC than just sitting around for 15 hours. Go get some food, run some errands, then show up for about an hour and watch Bo and Boolean shoot each other while catching up with folks. Then rinse and repeat at the next five hour mark.[/bcolor]

I mean, when was the last time you saw landlubbers shot by cannon?

And the number of people! I even saw Kat!

My Bane Dragon even got to chew on Gujek. (Seriously dude, stop shooting me!)

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

(Grudging) congratulations to Malloc for placing on the castle spot. He probably needs that extra room to hide all the Evil-dyed Bone chest pieces from me anyway.

Going through the handful of stuff I grabbed, I did not seem to get too much outside of a couple of Bags of Sending and a mannequin deed. I did have a chest of holiday rewards but they were Christmas, and I just never use those. But then, late last night I sorted through all of it again and it turns out those holiday items are from 2003! 13 years! Which is funny, because there were exactly 13 of them in the chest. Each one has a named snowman, a poinsettia, a snowflake, a holiday wreath, and the original gift boxes.

I do not collect that stuff at all, so I checked the turning points. Each single item is worth 6500 turn in points!!!! So 13 x 5 x 6500 = 422,500 clean up points. Holy cow! Because it would take 25 gold to get a single point in turn in points, that comes out to 10,562,500 gold worth of turning points. BOOM!

I did not throw any of this away however. It IS really old, and Leawyn said Hoffs or others may collect this stuff. So if you or someone you know is interested in it please get with me soon. I also picked up a 2004 Festive Cactus.

Still looking for that Evil Dyed Bone Chest piece (*eyes Malloc suspiciously*)

What did you all get?

I resisted to get out of my bed and login to get more crap to fill my castles with. Did wake up, 2 am my time, had one leg out the bed but then decided to stay in the bed as I know I would not be able to sleep after and would be damn tired at work. Hope all had fun and got some good stuff.

Aw how can you trash those snowmen? They look so innocent! Plus I have to imagine they are fairly rare at this point. I bet someone would buy them, and give them a nice festive home!

I got ....

To be taken out by The Bo. :)

I had to leave just before it poofed, and tried to cast just one last pixie, to annoy Max (and Bo) before signing off.
Can't outrun The Bo ....

He did only relieve me of a Hunting Permit, so I guess I also got ... to keep my LRC armor.

Put on some music just after that and Deep Purple - Knockin' on your Backdoor began playing.
"It's not the Kill, it's the Thrill of the Chase!

"Great Fun! Wish I could have been there for more mayhem.

Thanks Silent Singer.

I had to go to bed and missed the fun - after I sat there for 3 h and waited at the 5 and 10 h mark. It was fun to watch the PvP-show going on there and to talk with nice people. And I could snoop around in some backpacks: Stole Armand´s heart (and gave it back) and Calavera´s Trinsic Rose-petal (and gave it back). That was fun - and I hope you forgive me for snooping. Bo and Max thought I did steal stuff from them, so I got my fingers slapped. But I wasnt the thief they were looking for. I REALLY had fun! And I am still wondering, WHO stole the stuff from Bo and Max.

However, I was quite sad for the rest of the night. I felt that I missed the REAL party - and that is how I feel most of the time, because the houses ususally fall in the middle of the night (or I dont notice them falling). But that´s another story. Bad luck is my second Name ("Herman Badluck Toothrot").

So, thumbs up for another funny chapter of my personal Siege-history. And I hope next time I can join when it goes "pooof" and have more luck.

It was great to see some action outside of VvV sundays.Thank you Silent Singer for inviting so many people. I wouldn't have known about this if it weren't for you.
I was there with Bo, Ru and Kat and we were later joined by Gu'jek and Feanaro. I think Boolean, Morgan Ironfist (can't for the love of god remember his alts exact name - Ter something Yap?), dyno, Hoffs and maybe two or three other GIL could have given us quite the fight. However, they did the reasonable thing and stayed in their houses until the castle fell and concentrated on looting and placing. so congratulations to them. When it fell I had to relog 3 times to finally get unstuck and not see castle walls anymore. When I could finally move again there was only mediocre stuff left and the people I targeted did a good job at escaping my assasination attempts.

Did anybody get anything really great? I got some crystal and shadow deco items and some evil furniture like bone thrones and mounted pixies etc. Other than that a load of bone containers and lots of daily rares and stealables. Most of it will probably end up in the trashcan...

How about Herman "Do The Dew" Toothrot?

I didn't get a whole lot, but I liked what I did get! I picked up some Shimmering Effusion big crystals, two very very old Special Beard Dyes (square green bottles like the samples of corrupted water from the blighted grove) and two mini houses (marble with patio and Log Cabin(my first UO home!))

I bet those beard dyes are legit expensive. My toons go clean shaven though. You know, the demands of porn and whatnot...

That is awesome. I was able to get a bunch of ingots and leather. I also found out I got 1 fountain of life and a couple white scrolls. It was so much fun. I am glad I was able to go and see it... Got killed only once so not that bad. And good job everyone for not making it hell like the ones on Atlantic are every time I went.

I missed the fall, but was there before that happen, was killed, chased them down in ghost and got Rez ;) Had family later so could not come for the fall that evening (CDT). Glad everyone had a good time.

I missed the drop because of work. Got off 50 mins too late. :( Made it just in time to see very little pvp and Malloc plant a Keep to hold the spot.
