So Nerissa, can I ask clarification on who the changelings are and get the answer I want? that would be awesome.

DA is a funny guy.

Well... I can tell you that two of them area still among the living, and one is dead. Does that help?

[ardor]

Names! We need names!

I have a good feeling we are on the right track though. That's something.

[nerissa]

hmm... toddler plus water plus sugar canister...

*sigh*

A lady my mom is friends with at work has twin 3 year old daughters. The other day she was talking to my mom on the phone, she said, "Hang on, it got really quiet in here." My mom listened as she walked up the stairs and said very quietly, "Well, I guess that would do it." Apparently the girls had found a tub of Vaseline in the bathroom and had applied the entire thing to their hair, clothes, skin, the bathroom floor, etc.

And my mom wonders why I'm not in a rush to have kids.

[nerissa]

Yeah, getting suddenly quiet is quite often a warning sign. At the moment, I'm not sure if it would have been better or worse from the clean-up perspective if she'd found the flour instead. I suspect that at least she wouldn't have been eating that straight, although she's been known to do so with the salt, so I guess that's not a given either.

[visiblehowl]

Man, are you kidding? Flour is delicious.

Plus, when you have a mouthful of flour and you're trying to swallow it, every time you breath out, you get this puff of white. It's so awesome.

[nerissa]

mental note... do NOT let visiblehowl babysit

[devoutlyapathetic]

Hola all.

Awesome game Nerissa, you outed my secret! I was kinda sad I didn't get an entertaining secret...ah well.

Ardor: Told ya. (er...kinda but I didn't want to be right.)

[ardor]

You have no idea how bad I've felt the whole game DA. I've never thought you lied to me, but I couldn't risk the network without their approval. For what it's worth, I apologize.

[devoutlyapathetic]

Don't sweat it, it wasn't your secret to give.

[ardor]

I sent a pm to Plutonium, mostly to see if he has any final requests. I also told him I'd be happy to accompany him down to the dead thread tonight.

I wish we had more chances to work together DA, this is the first game I think we've ever had the chance, but it's pretty much cut and paste now. We should try this again sometime.

Yeah, some of the secrets were more entertaining than others. There were a few even more boring than yours, though... One husband works on the Sabbath, and one wife dances in the forest. Coming up with 20+ different things that the puritans would have considered sins and keeping them all entertaining is tough work!

[ardor]

Mine allowed me ample roleplaying opportunities, plus robothero finds roleplaying these games amusing and he knew half my secret, so he kept trying to feed me throughout the game.

Plus, Buzz buzz claimed he set up his accusation in such a way that he hoped I would come out and RP my secret some more.

I'm guessing if I was an animal lover, I'd be in the dead thread right now. I mean, finding witches is all good and everything, but protecting the sanctity of our farm animals? High priority there.

[ardor]

I think Nerissa is evil, in trying to throw us off. She did promise that the game would be much closer than we thought, so I'm guessing the seering is a good example of it.

Nerissa, has my whole life been a lie? Have you sent incorrect visions to our seer? I will send you cookies that taste like vinegar if this is the case! I hope that'll teach you.

[nerissa]

bah... no evil grin smiley here... ;D

[ardor]

Vinegar Cookies!!!!!!

[nerissa]

That's ok, I'll just give them to my dog. She'd probably even LIKE them.

[ardor]

Quiet today. I suppose with only a few of us left anyways, it's going to be a ghost town soon.

Anyone do anything fun over the weekend?

I went running a few days and went to a late night barbeque, I think the neighbors were going to pray for our deliverance though.

[nerissa]

I cleaned my kitchen and mopped / scrubbed the floor, then went out to buy some new jeans to replace the ones that now have an annoying vent in the back of the left thigh only to find they didn't have any my size. Oh, and spent more hours than I ought to have done playing LotRO.

[ardor]

I guess I didn't mark you as a MMORPG person. I played Everquest for 4 years, I was even in a major raiding guild for like 6 months. It was fun for the first few weeks, then it became a second job heh.

A friend of mine from Canada plays that, I forget her character name though. She enjoys it quite a bit.

Personally, some friends of mine and I are waiting for Warhammer Online to come out. Looks like some great, mindless fun.

What class do you play?

[nerissa]

Heh... EQ for.. 5+ years on and off, DAoC, Horizons, EQ2, um... I'm forgetting one, I think

I'm an alt-a-holic, so far I've got a 17 LoreMaster, 12 Minstrel, and a 7 Burgler. The Minstrel is what I play with my husband and friends (once we get them caught up to us, they're almost there), so she's going to advance relatively slowly. The others are for when I'm not playing with them. I still don't have a dwarf, though, trying to decide what class to do there. (Because heaven forbid there's a class or race I haven't tried, you know.) Between trade skills, alts, and just running around getting lost, I tend to advance rather slowly in the first place.

It's really odd, though, because beginning in EQ, Nerissa has always been a bard or equivalent, and I never really enjoyed cleric / healer classes all that much. However, in LotRO, the minstrel is the healer, and I'm actually ok with it.

I'm having lots of fun, mostly because I'm also a quest-a-holic, and there are so many quests, I'm always struggling to get the green / light blue ones done while they're still worth something, and never get to the ones closer to my own level, because by then I've leveled a couple of times, so they're light blue too.

[ardor]

Fun times!

I played a paladin named Ardor on the Xegony server for EQ1. Played a cleric named Ardor in Eq2, thought I forget the server name now.

Played a bloodmage in Vanguard for a few months with some friends.

Typically I'll join these games with a brother and some high school friends. My friend up in Canada loves doing quests and using tons of alts. If you ever want to meet someone new, let me know. I'll find out what her character names are.

[devoutlyapathetic]

Heh, all talking about your online crack....I was immunized against those things by MUDs.

[nerissa]

must... have... MMORPG...

Honestly, before a couple of weeks ago, it had been quite a while since I last played a MMORPG (EQ2). I just haven't had the time, and it's more fun for me if my husband is playing too, and he had quit. He tends to go in cycles where he gets tired of one game and then after a while either gets back into it or picks up another one, so I pretty much just follow whatever game he's playing at the moment.
