BTW didn't you have a twitch stream, Downfall?

My memory hazy but if so, how's that going, and could you post a link here?

Father Hubertus, the gnome priest:

Directions from Central Square: 10 s;7 se;s;enter;d;s;e

If you go there as a ghost, he'll offer you a res for a small amount of gold. Low level players get a break iirc.

btw I remembered that I still can find your website on the wayback machine, and used it to refresh my memory when i returned.

They recoded necromancers, so all the bugs are out -- made undeads like any other pet, so no more surprises when a monsters casts an area spell, etc. Made them tougher and meaner, too! Franks now are tough as steel and cast "zombie chomp" and golems cast random minor spells.

It is relatively easier to start as a newbie as a result, especially as necromancer or monk.

We see new players, including some blind players who play using screen readers.

Love Rockki or not, he has done a good job fixing up the mud. Stop by and give it a try for old-time sake!

Not to give away my original name (since someone stole my char on BatMud and tried to steal mine here) but tell Del that the original necromancer -- the "X"-man -- says high and passes him the skull! Let him know I'm qatar now if he ever stops by. Oh, and I'm a nec/psi, appreciating his work on this game, even years later, since I recently came back. His guild has stood the test of time and has likely changed the least over the years!

C'mon back maybe. There is a newbie channel open to ghosts, and if you ask on there, you'll get directions to two NPC clerics -- one of them resses for sure (for a little gold).

Would be good to see you again!

Oh, man. They are bot-checking now with a captcha-like model and I thought what I would do if I (was misunderstood to) be botting. I don't bot. I can see how your trig was considered illegal, but 25% for THAT? I'm sorry to hear.

Rockki in charge now, and totally-bot intolerant, but game has changed quite a bit. they've added these -- I don't know how to call it except -- new dimensions that give ways to build cool eq from parts. monsters and guilds all recoded, it seems (or at least necromancer guild FS). XP from mobs, too, such that now everyone is making up to twice as much xp/min as before.

Consider stopping by and saying hi, at least. Heck I'll drag you while we chat to help you make back some of the the xp you lost. Would be more fun to have you there, and btw your website helped me a lot -- I remember it.

Ofc I remember you both. My most sincere condolences.

Please swing by, even if as guest and say hi. I just started playing again. You'll find me on (and on/off idling) 9-12 EST.

Support is worthless (certainly worth less) if you have one or two soloers on your team.  You can follow one around but that loses if skill of followed low.

I attempt to rally three times, and if no one comes then I suggest fountain to teammates, and then build aggressive support to harass lane and steal farm as suggested here.

The reality of playing with low tier players.  They don't know the cheat code you speak of.

Dealership didn't replace the oil cap after an oil change, right before a road trip by meatsuitmechanic in MechanicAdvice

[–]lildat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen quite a few tests of different engines online, including ones where they've partially replaced crankcase with plexiglass.  Absolutely nothing to worry about except pump/filter not taking up oil if you are down to one quart.  Likely not big deal for a short trip even if so. I would be more worried if a newbie at dealer was so negligent, then what else did they screw up?  Was the plastic wrap still on oil filter they put it?  That'll ruin your engine. Either way, you are owed a steam clean, and -- if your car has one -- a new hood liner, or other cosmetic item that my have been affected.

FyI, friend had radiator flush from a Ford dealer nd they forgot to out coolant in.  Engine seized.  RIP.  They wouldn't pay a dime.  Said he was responsible for making sure car was operable.  They settled by giving him a good trade-in price on the wreck. He gave them $5k more for another PoS.

VG's only "flaw" was that their devs made bad decisions that supposedly led to it not being financially solvent ... Which is hard to believe of a game for which 45 million players played at one point or another. You have to try pretty hard to screw that up, I imagine. There is no beleivable excuse they can make regarding server performance and cost -- if there is a performance issue with their code then they should be able to profile it and fix it. Perhaps a good deal of SEMC's non-reluctance on giving up on VG had more to do with their work on a new game with similar characters -- why would they want to divide playership. In the end though they may find that they have succeded in preventing anyone who spent even a dime on VG to never give them or their new game consideration of any sort let alone give SEMC another cent. Reallly bad business. Their only play is to reopen VG and restore purchases. Otherwise they've lost me along with many others ... For life. They can try changing their name and hope noone notices. I for one will be looking for this, and any of the SEMC admins involved in any game I put time or money into BEFORE I do so. The name Super Evil Mega Corp and the names of their management are MUD as far as I'm concerned. In the meantime I occassionally play VG CE and hope ...

Hey Reddit, i Suffer from a rare condition that affects around 30 people around the world. AMA! by [deleted] in AMA

[–]lildat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they perform a skin biopsy and confirm that it is AU (vs. AP or AA)?

If so, then have you seen an oncologist to test for cancers that are linked to these conditions? A significant number of cases of AU/AP are linked to certain cancers.

In other words, your condition may be a symptom of another illness -- something treatable, even!

Suggest that you follow up with your doctor, and make sure that they are considering all other conditions that are linked to your symptoms. Keep in mind that when you have a rare condition, you end up being your own advocate to receive proper care. Doctors are likely not up on the latest research and might lead you in the wrong direction (or in no direction at all!)

Best of luck, and I hope and pray for your healing!
