I appear to have lost 110 swordsmanship, somewhere...
I remember stoning it off, clearly, and putting it away safely.
Now, it comes to looking for it, and it's nowhere to be found :(

Probably...
It would explain how I've misplaced:
1 x Soul Seeker
1 x Cloak of Corruption
1 x 110 Swordsmanship

MUNCHIES! :p
(Om nom nom!)

Heyya, heyho and heybabb!

Speaking of stones: I found a whole bag full of blackrock in one of my chests when cleaning out the house. Is there any use for them still ... besides of infecting the local sheep population of course *g*

word association, Nilrem mentioned 'allegro'. Dreadful car, but we didn't own one at the time and hired one for the week.

We hired a Nissan Micra once for a week holiday in Scotland. Cute car and very red, but very tiny and "swaying" ... I constantly got travel sick on those winding roads around the Lochs *g*

The Allegro was also known by it's owners as the "All Agro" ..... with justification. The first two, from the large national hire company we used, "developed" serious faults within a few miles. They were probably made on the nightshift when the employees were having their sleep.

G'morning, everyone. Am I the only one that loves fall? I am soooo glad it's finally arriving.

Nope, I like it too - although I too prefer the bright and crisp version. At the moment, we're having 'Weather'. Horizontal rain, har, and strong winds. As they say here, tha e fiadhich!

On the plus side, although the satellite has a hissy every 5 mins because of the cloud cover, the new connection is dealing with it very well! Apart from dropping me on my ass in Blood the other night. I was suitably impressed that my archer not only survived, but killed a blood ele in my absence. I love autodefend :)

I look forward to fall every year. I love the turning of the leaves and the smells and the cooler weather. Or maybe it's because my birthday is in October? Hehe, I'll be 40 at the end of October! I am very much looking forward to celebrating that milestone. :D

Ill :(

Currently feels like I've been drinking battery acid, and thrown myself down the stairs a couple of times...

A short while ago, I went to look for mages and mage lords.
I was a little low on the funky blue cloth from the mage lord robes (didn't it used to be known as "nightmare cloth" or something?).
Anyway, I also killed a couple of ordinary mages on my travels, and dutifully looted their mighty pink robes.
Went back home, switched to my tailor, and snipped away.
Then, I wondered what the pink cloth would look like as a kimono.
It was awesome, and I decided to go and find more.

The first lesson I learned was a stark reminder that dark wisps are tough.
The second lesson I learned was another stark reminder that paragons are tough.
The third lesson I learned was a stark reminder that a GM suit of leather armour isn't exactly the best protection in the world.
Lessons over, I think, and lug my multitude of robes back to the house.
Snip... Snip...
The forth lesson... The pink mage robes come in an as-yet-undetermined number of hues, leaving me with dozens of stacks of 8 cloth...

dark wisps? I didn't realise we still had some on Europa, where abouts?

I did go to Shame and fire, but the only places they spawn in reasonable numbers are in the 2-story building.
My targeting system macros end up trying to honour/attack the mages on the floor above/below me, which is annoying :(

I once had a collection of over 40 different hues :D

Hope you get better soon.

Honestly, the Kimono I made is quite possibly my favourite one.
Although, my eyes are a little iffy with the colours, so it's quite possible it's as ugly as sin.
Or worse, as ugly as blaze...

Why is it that I only remember my desire for reward cloth, when I'm in no position to acquire it by any means >.<

It is possible, although I will have too keep you in suspense for a little...
2 hours sleep does not a happy Kimi make :(

*stealths in*


we went on our honeymoon in an Austin Allegro, several moons ago.

:postpics:



In the absence pf "pics", cuneiform engravings on wax tablets would do, or possibly even Lascaux-type cave paintings.

How about stone carvings?

Evening all, not been around much for the past few days due to a combination of Warcraft, some good books, and my dad's new shed*.

I suspect i won't be around too much for the next few days either, as we're still woking on the shed, and my copy of Temporal Void by Peter Hamilton arrived :D


*Which we're putting together in the garage (and having great fun nailing feet to the floor...)

Hi Babblers

Just to let everyone in UO land know, we're off on a trip to Ireland on Friday, and will be away for 10 days. After all the upheaval of moving, and having to go to England for a week just before hand, I'm very very glad that this is the last time I'll have to go anywhere for a while. I'm not there yet, and already looking to forward to getting home!

See you all soon, take care and have fun.

Cail

I need 16 more posts to get to 1500 (which I'm sure deserves a new Stratics title, especially as they took away my old Stratics Plus title when the forums fell apart.)


What do YOU think my chances of reaching 1500 posts are?

I will reply to each response. :D:D:D:D

'least you got your old post-count back:p
I'm still working up from 0, no idea what my old count was, and my account wasn't recovered.

I'd say "high"
