  1. This is the kind of calculation that I can actually work with, nuff said: How to Calculate Pi by Throwing Frozen Hot Dogs
  2. Anyone else down?

    I think that was just a passing Half-Step Uptown Mississippi Toodle-OO..... Try nailin' a retread to yo feet and pray for better weather!
  3. funny..

    Careful! Langy is sneaky Somewhere way back in the forums I read a post in which Ent acknowledges the word "serp" to represent both 'usurp' and 'serpent', saying it was a clever use of a word. I go with that, the word fits both definitions. LITFA!!! That means 'don't mess'! *ahem*
  4. Real Life Imitating EL

    James Thurber was a grand interpreter of RL. This is my favorite of his stories, it's very short and a must read.... The unicorn in the garden The film link on the page is kaphritz, sorry. Anyway, it just proves that you only need one horn to get your message across!
  5. I have wonderful results playing right after I crank up my Model T PC. I notice if I have closed and reopened the client or done other things with the computer (email, surfing, writing, etc.) the client slows back down to the familiar old under 10 FPS and resync situation. I assume it's my RAM being rammed full. On my very low-end PC I can describe symptoms, but I'll never complain!
  6. On the PK front

    I'm almost healthy enough to try, maybe there are more people joining EL and climbing the ladder now! Is there any organized activity in the Lucky Punch? Every time I've been there it was a guild-gang situation where nobody had a chance. Simple one-on-one challenges would be a fine PvP promotion!
  7. Gamne crashes

    Aha! I'm a TNT 2 victim as well. My PC has the previous versions of the drivers in a list. If you use the control panel to hardware to video card, it will let you choose them. I should have verified the path before I posted but it is a simple click through. Ahem, I should try it myself! I had a MS crash today myself. It was the first time since the new client. One thing I do that seems to improve all game play is turn off my anti-virus program (this year it's Avast) which seems to make a difference.
  8. monster drops

    For the very first time I received a steel long from a gob today! I think the hardware that armed gobs sport is homemade and not worthy of us Pr0 characters... it never bothered me. After all, I killed a gargoyle once and got a gargoyle fighting book!!??!?? The monsters aren't too cognizant of their existence!
  9. IEDP

    That's fantastic!! Must be implemented!! Maybe tin cups too!
  10. funny..

    I just have fun with the wacky spelling I see in chat all the time.... "Hey man!! U slurp my spleen!!" Not to mention the player I've never heard of before walking up and saying in PM: "You be my friend" It's just so hard to keep from saying: "Yes, sir! Anything you say, sir!! U N00b, sir!!!"
  11. Indicator Stones

    Those stones are a bunch of malarkey! I do just fine with my burnt offerings and a black cat bone!!
  12. Man (player) eating leopard

    I'm not worried about being attacked AFK or not. Out of the dozen or more chars I've created (and killed off) over time, only once was I caught by the wandering garg in WS. I've never been afraid to cross that map at night. Assuming the chances are similar of being attacked by 'Leonard', even with AI hunting ability he could be on any one of a number of maps, what are the odds? Even if you encounter him, chances are good you can get out of the way before being targeted particularly with other players in the area. Nope, no worries here! A-weem a-weh, a-weem a-weh, a-weem a-weh.....
  13. Man (player) eating leopard

    Leopard is fine by me, like Bob the Gob we can call him Leonard the Leopard..... Two queries: I haven't got a clear picture whether this one exclusive animal or a type of animal where there are more than one. Just one, right? Will it be distinguishable from other leopards or are we paying our nickels and taking our chances? I like the suggestion that it would grow physically as his levels increase! I don't care much for the idea that the leopard can use weapons and armor it collects, but think the booty should lie in it's stomach waiting to turn into a DB. Actually making use of it I think turns it into a mythical beast.
  14. Forum registration

    Hi Aislinn, Can you confirm Piggy for a forum account please? He revalidated within the last hour. Thanks!
  15. Post your funny songs

    Those are all great, except I had to wash down that Florence Foster Jenkins with some Mrs. Miller! Anyway, here's the 1960's San Francisco version of Banana Phone. So if you aren't getting what you feel you should from you veggies, then Call Any Vegetable!! Oh, and this is still my favorite gaming one, too bad it's not EL characters
  16. Eternal Lands is as popular as a Paper Cup

    I like beer cups, paper slakes not my thirst.... Here's a game that EL beats big time! Google Fight
  17. ROFL Cats :D

    I have to admit, I like funny cat stuff. Sure it can get tired over a while, but my friends and I from waaaay back were doing wacky stuff with our cats. The internet just brings tons of it all at once! Keep in mind, cute little kittens are very therapeutic. Here's the best example I can think of, the teen girl from Baghdad who has maintained a blog throughout all the idiocy of the last five years. Her goal was to get people to send her cute pictures of cats to make her feel better: Baghdad Cat Girl It's some very interesting reading, and no stupid cat captions!
  18. Which candidate is the best match for you?

    Kucinich Gravel Paul I love doing these questionnaires, but as others have said, few of the answers were my real opinion. Also the source of the test here is a capitalist entertainment shill for big marketing. I'd like to see similar tests arranged by the Pacifica Network, the BBC, or even Al Jazeera!! Of the three names above, the only one I respect at all is Kucinich (sorry Ent!) I also again have to remind us all that there are more than two political parties in the US, and the reason we never hear of the others is that big media doesn't believe they are worth money to allow the candidates to speak on the air! I'm getting ready to switch my write-in from Nader to Fidel
  19. Guess the movie

    PK Passion?
  20. Peace Day on PK server

    Worked out great for me. I just started my char and got some questing done so it was very helpful! I vote to keep it, doesn't happen very often anyway.
  21. Top Reasons to NOT Hit on Females in EL

    Hilarious!! And I for one have been waiting nearly (yikes!) 40 years for a partner who can put up with me longer than 12 months.... Meanwhile, the last place I would look is in a role playing online game! A great place to make friends but not lovers for RL purposes. However, I do kind of miss LadyWolf anyway.....
  22. Happy New Year :)

    Wait... happy what? Do we celebrate that in the US? Oh, that's right! Happy Day Off!!
  23. I hope as my grumpy dvarven self pops out of character, that it is okay to ASK about RP without indulging in it. In other words, I know there are specifics that RP engages in and protocols to follow, but when and how are these implemented in EL? Dvarven folk need slivers of the pie known as "pizza" from time to time, and this brings about the 'outhouse necessity' on occasion, to be dvarvenly tactful... I have a fascination with RP, but haven't really tried it on a regular basis, mostly just for fun. I do know it's a serious venture and don't want to mess it up. I have an Alt character that is based on a web comic Darken and the upcoming PK server is just right for some of the characters in the story. There is a whole dynamic involved which I won't bring up, but EL is just right for Darken, and vicey versey! I would like to bring some EL'ers to read Darken, and some Darken fans to try EL (they are all D&D folk which is a RP big deal, right?) and at the same time remain my human self without becoming absorbed into fantasy! How should I approach this? And please have a good look at the comic, it's top notch for story and characters! Oh, I forgot..... deep down I'm a pirate. Yar.
  24. Little Dekke!

    The best of blessings, all for the future! By the way, what's his in-game name?
  25. BLEED-Comics

    Pretty good! Robb, is this your own work? Keep it up if it is! I like the Transformers one best!
