Also, check out the charity auctions. I'll be running them through December for various minor prizes. The proceeds go to charity.

At the moment, they're needed for admission to the School of Hard Knocks, along with Roc Rocks and Crocodile Scales.
I just just my first Betty Fnord Clnic invite from a Gnu. Yay!

Anyone else make it up to Cloud Land? Interesting place. Bigger than it looks on the wiki - lots of cloudy plains and fields to wander through. I want to find that Giant - I've got a golden gun with his name on it. If his name is 'The Giant.'

Nah, been fannying around fruitlessly trying to find anyone willing to part with their plums [fnar]. So, now have to wait a day for my Merchant Level 3 to kick in. Not had a hat for DAYS now. Time to get into some RL again.

SNOW!!! SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!

Cube I'll meet you at the Eastern market, I can get you what you need man, in exchange for tar and copper nails for my BOAT...

The Giant is in the castle that is East of the top of the beanstalk, 15000 HP- I recommend an alighnment change then a glass sword or three, unless you're very very rich. I've killed a few loucees (WTF are they?) and they give you diamonds and ruby slippers, kewl! Not a lot of practical use though, unless I can make a diamond sword out of them (unbreakable?) or perhaps mine some gold and make my own Crown, MWAHAHA!

We is gonna get into some serious snowball fights. I tried to invite the Giant, but he thwacked me, so I gave him the gun. And a glass sword.

Now, it's time for - victory dance! Wooo!

I just noticed - you get 300,000 experience points for killing the Giant? Jesus! I only had about 120k before... Madness.

omg, i really should RTFM. To whoever used to own my new pirate hat, sorry, but a n00b stole it. It fits. Can I keep it?

Flooding possible.

Pirates sighted off the coast.

So Wembley, you are the one who stole my pirate hat?
not very nice of you
you can use it for now, but would be good if I can have it back some time.

Hats come, hats go. It's part of life.

Somebody apparently recently asked "for their crown back, please".

It's interesting to see the correct and incorrect behaviour emerge.

Which do you regard as incorrect?

17:41 / 07.01.06
where do you get hats from legitimately? (and how bloody long are the roads between the cities?)

18:42 / 07.01.06
a) You don't, you must steal them
b) 86 squares

Next!
Boy, these boats take a lot of work, don't they?

I took a few days break recently, and someone had given me a hat and someone had stolen the same hat while I was away. CONSTANT...VIGILANCE!


I'm stuck in the damn castle. King's Road inaccessable. Can't swim out. King refuses to assist me. Am out of money from poking gaurds. Stuck listening to poor souls trapped with me cry for release.

Options:

buy a talisman and use it to get out.

Leave a request on the wiki that someone summon you out.

are we seeing a biblical flood here?
its going to get worse and worse until we need an ark, isnt it?

i for one am going to find food, weapons, and high ground.

whooooooooo's with me?!
 
 
Charlie's Horse
23:55 / 10.01.06
Tuna - I could summon you out of there, but you'd wind up on the Isle of Fright. It's a solid thousand gold for the ferry off, but I could give you a talisman, too. Is the flooding that bad? The Isle of Fright seems to be on high, craggy ground. Ringed by mountains and all that.

The rainmaker must be stopped! Everyone, attack God!

Also, it seems that I now am in possession of a soul. Anyone else notice this? I wonder what that'd be worth...

Trying to build a fishing rod. Want to catch some cod. The Isle of Fright is a delightful locale - plenty of monsters, and gulls have to be the best (if most dangerous) swarms I've found. I can see flocks of skull gulls from the land, but they never seem to come close enough to hit.
 
 
Char Aina
01:08 / 11.01.06
i have four short pieces of string and five of wood.
if you have the bent pins then summon me and we can go fishing.

that is, if there is a way to make money on the island... i am pretty skint at the moment.
 
 
Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero
03:42 / 11.01.06
I'll take my chances on the Isle of Fright. I've no gold, so while I can poke gaurds as often as I like with no punishment, I can not afford a talisman or a book on how to swim. I'm broke but healthy (some kind, confused soul has been healing me since my arrival, despite the fact that I have taken no damage whatsoever. It must be madness brought on by his imprisonment).

So, yeah, any summons to the Isle of Fright would be very much appreciated. I've got shurikens, rusty swords, a shiny new catana and I've just finished Howard's Bloody Crown of Conan. I'm ready to carve a bloody path all over this lame-ass "Isle of Fright". Bring it!

04:50 / 11.01.06
Ahah! The pretty new cover art is back!

(I feel really noobish. It's still too early for me to have been to any of these places you're all so excited about.)

toksik, Tuna Ghost - are your Barbeloid names the same as your Cities names? 'Cause I go by sharpeyes over there. I'll summon the two a you when I get the action points, sometime tomorrow - I'll try to 'port you two into the city center, and give you both air talismans so you can get off the isle when you want. (Don't worry, I have about 27 of those). There's monsters aplenty - lots of rock, scissor, and paper-mache monsters (small and large), lethal flocks of gulls that are somehow loaded, perky nOrx (island living for you), vindaloo monsters (can only be killed with bottles of lager, and do 25 damage at a go), bulls, small dragons, vampires, penguins... Plenty of monsters. I've been making crazy amounts of money since I arrived - bought a few glass swords, learned some martial arts. A shopkeep on the isle buys weapons at good prices, so I've unloaded my army surplus stockpiles of night sticks and extra sacrificial daggers. Want to head back in a few to get drunk in a graveyard to celebrate a successful vacation, but I'll get you two over beforehand, and give you those magic bus tickets to the Windy City. Bentnob's pretty nice, too. Has a few unique shops, though I still miss the sulfurous ambiance of Fire City's shrines sometimes.

Oh, and toksik - don't you need a long string to make a fishing pole? You need 5 short strings per string, and 5 strings per long string. I'm still a fair ways off from making a fishing rod too. Though I have 23 spair bent pins - bought in a lot for about 10 gold. Go figure.

Typical. You give people a soul and they ask what it's worth.

The flood is an experiement - I don't know if it'll work or not.

ps. I am having a birthday party (not cities themed!). See the gathering section of barbelith for details.

i am sir dave.
i fight with my fists.
 
 
Char Aina
16:39 / 11.01.06
oh yeah.
i thought you only needed two short strings, but i may well be wrong.
in fact, its likely, seeing as if i had enough i'd prolly have the option to combine, wouldnt i?

I just killed a Skull Gulls (25,140 HP!) from my small boat, dreadful anticlimax. I have got the Wizard's Hat though, and there's nowhere safer than the ocean to avoid hat theft
Cube and I have regular steal hat:chase scene:recover hat escapades around Brighthelm, it's half the fun. 'My' hat indeed, pfah!

BTW while on the Isle of Wight-I-mean-Fright, don't forget to plant beans in the Satanic gardens.

Anyone fancy a swappingfest in Ventnob at the Nazi Shelter tomorrow? I've got absolutely fricking loads of everything, I killed a Treeman who must have slain a half dozen adventurers, I got a list of stuff as long as your arm including dragon stones, glass swords, arena talismans etc. and I have city talismans, maps, magic boots, weapons, booze, food and coffee to burn- who wants them? I want plans for a raft or a big boat or a caravel or something, and I'd pay top groat for a Betty Fnord invite... just DON'T STEAL MY WIZARD'S HAT!
