I haven't been misplaced, I've had visiting parents and been camping!

A couple of pics :)

We've seen some dolphins a few weeks ago at Orford Ness *fond memories*

Ello all and misplaced ones!

We have a new "security" system at the office now, which means that I can not access Stratics anymore while at work, since it is identified as "game related". Bugger ... those IT people are complete spoil-sports!!!

Ohhh, ouchies :(

Some things that might help

Manuka honey (either by the teaspoon or in a warm, not boiling, drink)
Gargling with salt water 3 times a day
Taking echinacea, a herb that boosts your immune system
Lozenges, to help prevent your throat from drying

Hope you feel better soon :)

Thanks for the tips ... it is slowly getting better.

Been to the throat-doctor today. One of my vocal chords is inflamed and that's what's causing all this. Lots of liquids, resting my voice (does that mean I will never sing opera again? lucky others *g*), a healthy portion of penicillin (apparently my doctor likes that stuff) and I should be sorted out in a week or so. Honey and hot tea is nice though, so I am sticking with that :) I tried herbal coughing syrup last week, didn't do anything.

Oh, and can I not have a long camera-thingie down my nose deep into my throat again anywhen soon, please. It's horrible!!

But the doctor person wanted photos of your cute larynx!

Seriously, ouchies. I had one of those following some thyroid problems and it did hurt. Rest lots, and get well soon!

Maybe I should have asked for prints of those photos? errr ... nope, I am too squeamish for that kind of stuff *g*

Ah well, I guess it is time to rest and dig up some more treasure chests ... it's soo relaxing now that the guardians are even meaner than they were before *g*

Morning John and healthy people: hoping that all people are healthy now.

t's weirdly humid this weekend. My newly washed towels are taking so long to dry I think they will smell like old ones and need washing again.

lo all. I've had the dubious pleasure of having my throat looked at too. Not something I'm anxious to experience again any time soon.

Afternoon (or middle of the night) all and throats.

I've been gone a while again, despite making some surprise guest appearances. Came back today for a bit and got a bottle of serpentwyne! Yay! I much prefer the cerebral events to the "Here are 4 paragon balrons. They will be wearing your entrails as a hat in five seconds" events :)

Oh, and following on from several months back, when I was here more often... I now have my greencard! I'm a legal alien :)

Anyone got some storage to rent out? Or a Don't let your stuff own you-kinda handbook?

Just wait a few months till the new booster pack comes out... it comes with another 20% house and bank storage increase for all the pack-rats like me.

Can`t help you with the storage, but I do have a handbook for you!

Last night was insane!

Got myself a mage a while back. Never really played one but scrolled him up and did grind up his skills without too much combat. Sorted out a suit and then I let him be for a while.

Yesterday I got the itch. I wanted to try him out. So I did some research on Stratics. Navrey sounds like fun. Me running around trying to find my way in the Abyss must have been fun to watch too.

Finally I found the place. Were a tamer or and others around. I made sure I had everyones bar up and gave it a go. The first two were a bit messy and didn't heal as much as I could have. I still had to doublecheck I did heal and not Flamestrike at times. Was nice but had to log.

A little while later I decided to try again. Another headless chicken run in the Abyss. This time 2-3 tamers with GDs around. Up with everyones bar. More Xhealing GDs this time. Flamestriking like crazy when the bars looks okay.

I must have messed up the RNG. Cause after 7-8 Navreys I have two tangles. I feel kinda bad for everyone thats been down there a while.

I do love my new mage though. And from someone who's played a dexxer or tamer before I feel kinda nekkid when monsters target me and I have to use magery to fend them off. But then again, I'm an eternal noob so I am sure that feeling will last a long time.

Congrats to the tangles! The RNG gods really must´ve taken a fancy to you :D. Got my tangle on spider number 88 - and I´m still happy as a clam about it.

Good luck with your new mage as well. I recognise myself in your situation - but the other way round. Started out with a mage, and rarely played another template for over a year afterwards. Then when I started out my tamer and archer I was at a loss. I still keep forgetting how to use pet command macros on my, now legendary tamer, and if you ever run into an archer that think mage tactics is the way to go, that will be me (and yes, you will meet her, since she´s in saor).

Feels good to be back in the babble thread again. Have been neglecting the boards lately... Anyways, good babbling to ya all!

We are gooseless :( Our neighbour hunts with a Harris Hawk and brought us a goose the other day. So we hung it in the shed, since it takes a couple of days. Went out to get it to pluck it today and he's been back to get the bits the hawk is allowed to eat, leaving a gaping hole in the chest and a 'gone off' goose :( I was really looking forward to a wild goose dinner as well.

Well done on the tangles Largan, I didn't realise you'd got two, you jammy git!

Oh looking forward to seeing you then AyaraBlue!

Yeah, I managed to get another one after you logged off Cail :)


Saw alot of what I assume is necromages and mystmages. Am I wierd that I already consider to redo my temp and drop the wrestling off my mage. Most of the time I still seem to build up and train temps and not so much playing.

Could I take a moment to have a tiny moan at Cail for locking the auction thread before I had a chance to :bowdown: to PsychO for his edit to the smiley.

Now, let's see people respond to this without getting into a "discussing moderators actions" conversation.

Hello!

Always nice to come back again and again. I've tried the new treasure hunting system this week-end, and it's rather fun. :thumbup:


Once I understood how to find where the treasure is with enough precision, I started to dig out a few tin cans. The new loot is nice. Even on low level maps, there's decent stuff. Well, of course I get the best alacrity scroll of all time. Of all time!






But anyway, it's really fun to find treasures everywhere, like on a beach.




I'm sorry for the littering of local maps, but it's really helpful :p

I even got essences of feeling and stuff on lvl 2 maps! It's great, even my "fisher-carto-lockpicker with a bit of this skill and a bit of that one and oops I forgot to give her a skill to kill stuff" got some love. :heart:

Aren't we due for a shiny, new, autumnal babble thread?


(I only ask 'cos it's been ages since I made a "yay! first page" post.)

apologies for neglect.
Has anyone got a couple of hours to spare? I could do with buying a few to add to my day, there aren't enough in mine to do all I want to do.

I could sell you a few hours of cat, if you like. Ours have rehearsed sleeping so much that I am sure they have it down to a fine art, and could get done all they need in half the time.

MIB's have been upgraded too, and I could see you having a blast with the new expansion pack; ships, cannons, pirates, it's great fun :)
