Gynis

I'm really not worried about our gear being outdated terribly. I mean, so.... our gear is going to need to be replaced when we level? That's kind of how these games work. I don't think I want to be wearing my [item]Staff of Jordan[/item] at lvl 60 any more than I'll want to wear my [item]staff of dominance[/item] at lvl 70. The only difference is we're replacing MORE epics. But, even then . . . an upgrade is an upgrade. I'd replace my items with greens now if they were in the game. I'm REALLY excited that we'll get a little longer to push content. I like the fact that we're doing this at 60 and it's a challenge. I had so much fun last night in Nax watching Patchwerk two shot people and Rogues Evasion tank for 30 seconds! When we're 70 and just plowing mobs in Nax to finish quests and get A'tieshes, I don't think it will mean as much to me, nor be as fun.

hot.

What? OMG nerf secret requirements.

HAHHAHAHA My sentiments exactly.

No, not hard to say. Slower to recognize. It doesn't make the theory fail. It proves it correct even further. There are a word puzzles that work with this phenomenon. blals itndrmeeiatde wokrnig gylblulbbue See. You can still read them. But it tends not to go as fast. Sort of like how Vanin got stuck on wouthit. A lot of times first glance isn't correct, but context makes it go faster. I've also read that it doesn't matter the length of the word, that the pattern will still trigger the correct response. We talked about this in my psychology class in college. It was really neat. I wanted to turn in my homework like this for the rest of the semester, but my professor frowned upon that.

Yeah, this works alot better when the words are in context too. If you just have a list of randomly jumbled words in no particular order, it's not as quick. I think for the most part human minds take a rough, outline image of the world around us and fill in the blanks to make it work. God only knows what we'd see if we actually paid attention!

2320!

Great work last night guys! I think we finally figured out the nullifier packs! AWESOME! I can't wait to go kill this guy! Let's have him down before the expansion.

I didn't get one. I feel gipped!

I spent the last 30 minutes looking at those. >.

Oh, and: From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing bored!" Ground Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

HAHAHH these are spectacular! Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven." The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark,...... and I didn't land." HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH

I never negotiate for midget hostages. I say let them have them.

We'll be fine. I'll kindly explain to the door man that we're easily going to be dropping a few k in the place between booze and games, and unless he'd like to lose that money (and quite possibly a healthy chunk of his personal being) it would be in his best interest to let us patronize the business of our choice for the evening.

Also, try calling the airlines directly. You'd be surprised at how well they can do. If you tell them the flight that you're looking for and what the online rate is, sometimes they'll match or beat it (to keep from paying the online commissions that they have to pay for places like Orbitz and Travelocity.) At any rate, Travelocity is usually fairly cheap.

No pun intended. In the spirit of the Hunter Slogans! Gryph: Never a miss an opportunity for a groaner.

There are several of us who can be your guardian for the night. I think it's no entry for anyone under 21 after 10. Other than that, I think it's just show up with adultish looking people. Beats me though. I don't usually stop for doormen when they ask me for my ID. I just give them a dirty look and walk by.

Side ventures are totally up to you. I'm sure some of us would LOVE to go to Casa de Waffle. Others will probably want to crash if they need to get on the road early the next morning. And while Marrietta may be closer to you, by the time you tally up the folks that will be lodging in Gwinnett without transportation, I think you'll find the scales tilted. >

I'll post up the official times, addresses, and stuff later. My house is completely booked with guests, so I don't think I can accomodate any more. Please let us know if you've got a spare room or a place and are able to host a few out of town prophets. I'll also find a few local hotels tonight and post them up here if you've got some weird secret you don't want people to know about and prefer to do it in the privacy of your own room where the maid will clean it up the next morning and not ask questions. So far this is my sketch of the weekend: Friday Night: Dinner party at Gynis'. Light tapas, bring a dish or a bottle of liquor of you so desire. Saturday morning: Open invitation brunch at Front Page News (weather permitting). With a large crowd, we probably won't all get seated at the same table, but the patio is huge and the food is decent. Saturday afternoon: On your own. Pair off. Make a friend. See some sights. Have a nap. Saturday night: Dave n' Busters - Duluth. I'm not going to reserve a room or anything. I figured, again, we'd just sort of descend on the bar, snag a few booths, and mingle with each other and play pacman while intoxicated. We should start the evening around 8:30. Sunday morning: Breakfast and hangover on your own - FPPwnsAtlanta Draws to a close.

Dave n' Busters in Duluth.

OMG! I'm 5'8" too!!!! /snicker

What the hell kind of conversion rate is that?!

Those are neat! I purged my ss folder a while back. I kinda regret it now. >.

Maybe he wanted to get there quickly.
