My 1st Begged Turnip

[headsplit]

Its took a good while to get one, it finally happened, feel like I've won the pointless time wasting lottery.

Oh does it feel good.

Put it on a pedestal pride of place on my bottom floor.

 

[DevilsOwn]

congratulations!

 

[Fink]

Well done!

Whenever I see those turnips I think of Baldric from Blackadder and his wistful dream of some day owning a turnip of his own..

 

[Warrior of Time]

Congratulations on a job well done.

Nice to meet another person that feels the pride of getting one. Most of the people that became a beggar at Halloween could care less about a prize like that or the Sake.

I also had a couple of ex UO player friends drive 10 miles to see the fabled turnip.

Not only me that appreciated its pointless yet rewarding value *grins*

Thanks everyone *Tips hat*

 

[Dirkdiggler]

grats for all your hard work =)

 

[Scopulus Falco]

well done

Congratulations! I remember my first turnip beg fondly. Now if only I could score that ever elusive sake!!

I remember when I got my turnip. It was a Saturday evening, I was working overtime, alone at the office. To help kill time I downloaded UO onto my workstation. I would camp in heartwood begging while my edger ran lenses. I was so proud I took a screen shot and saved it, not sure where I put it though. Best overtime ever.

Congrats!

Apparently I've gotten really lucky.... while out training begging in preparation for Halloween (just hit GM!) I've gotten a turnip yesterday and today within a half hour. No sake yet but there are four other items I've only gotten 1 of - flower garland, a plate of cookies, a pitcher of wine and an empty bottle of wine. Are those "rare" begging drops too or do I just have bad luck with them? I have stacks of dates, shirts, bowls of stew, wedges of cheese, pitchers of liquor, pizzas and lanterns so I'm guessing those are the "semis."

Now if only I could score that ever elusive sake!!

I have one but been trying to get another for a UO Friend at the Sonoma Forum. Every day I get the road and come back with little to show these days. I hope to score another someday.

 

[Black Sun]

I'm still waiting for the sake too. I could buy one, but I like the idea of having earned all my begging "rares" myself.

 

[Assia Penryn]

Well done!

I'm so glad to hear of another fan of that show.

Blackadder: Baldrick, I've always been meaning to ask: Do you have any ambitions in life apart from the acquisition of turnips?
Baldrick: Er, no.
Blackadder: So what would you do if I gave you a thousand pounds?
Baldrick: I'd get a little turnip of my own.
Blackadder: So what would you do if I gave you a million pounds?
Baldrick: Oh, that's different. I'd get a great big turnip in the country.

[Black Sun]

It is here.

 

[Saunders]

Congratulations, and isn't an absurdly good feeling?
My last rare was the reversed flower garland, which I got getting to GM for Halloween last year.
Somehow life lost a tiny somehing when those twin goals had been completed.

 

[Warpig Inc]

The fish steak is the one off for me so far. Gotten two turnip. Imbuing the garlands is always good for a sale on vendors.

 

[Just Emma]

I got my first turnip today.

Congrats!

Thank you. I still don't know why, but as grueling as it is to raise the skill, begging is kind of fun.

Welcome to the fraternity of people who do enjoy begging!

And many, many congratulations on your first turnip. The pleasure is something few will understand. May you have a wonderful time getting to GM.

 

[Black Sun]

Begging is one of my all time favorite skills.
Along with cooking.

 

[Lunaticus]

Love me some begging as well. . . Still no sake, however. I must have angered the begging gods, heh.

You and me both apparently.

Three turnips - no sake - and as of 8:34 p.m. this evening, Catskills has a new GM beggar.

Congrats!

 

[Derium of ls]

after reading this thread, I wanna raise begging... not for the turnips and sake and whatnot, just because I think I'd fit in well to this group haha.
