    I agree. The arena should be for training purposes. Not to go there to pk. However, there are no rules on this matter. <_<

     

    But, I like to go there to train. And make sure to ask everyone there if I may do so in peace (and hope that they stand by their word)

     

    No bad luck there tho...yet ^_^

    I was blessed by the Queen of Nature 4 times in a row (nothing bad inbetween) the other day...I think it was like 1750 exp in about 5 minutes :)

    *plus xp from happy hour on top of that (diamonds)*

     

    Prolly never...ever happen again. But, it was cool while it lasted.

     

    Edit because my typing is so great

    Look...It's Roja! :D I like the log in page too. ^_^

     

    Maybe it's just on my end, but when I logged on I had to hit alt n and alt h for the names and health bars.

     

    And the font is still messed up on the name font type 2. (That part doesn't matter to me anyways. Just a few quick observations.)

    This question was posed to the Usenet Oracle:

     

    If you drop a buttered piece of bread, it will fall on

    the floor butter-side down. If a cat is dropped from

    a window or other high and towering place, it will

    land on its feet.

     

    But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread,

    butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out

    the window? Will the cat land on its feet? Or will

    the butter splat on the ground?

     

    And in response, thus spoke the Oracle:

     

    Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself

    you should be able to deduce the obvious result. The

    laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit

    the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline

    aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash its

    furry back. If the combined construct were to land,

    nature would have no way to resolve this paradox.

    Therefore it simply does not fall.

     

    That's right, you clever mortal (well, as clever as a

    mortal can get), you have discovered the secret of

    antigravity! A buttered cat will, when released,

    quickly move to a height where the forces of

    cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium.

    This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off

    some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some

    of the cat's limbs, allowing descent.

     

    Most of the civilized species of the Universe already

    use this principle to drive their ships while within a

    planetary system. The loud humming heard by most

    sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several

    hundred tabbies.

     

    The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats

    manage to eat the bread off their backs they will

    instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on

    their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much

    good, since right after they make their graceful

    landing several tons of red-hot starship and

    pissed-off aliens crash on top of them.

     

    "And now a few words on solving the problem of

    creating a ship using the aforementioned anti-gravity

    device.

    "One could power a ship by means of cats held in

    suspended animation (say, about minus 190 degrees

    Celsius) with buttered bread strapped to their backs,

    thus avoiding the possibility of collisions due to

    temperamental felines. More importantly, how do you

    steer, once all the cats are held in stasis?

    "I offer a modest proposal:

    "We all know that wearing a white shirt at an

    Italian restaurant is a guaranteed way to take a trip

    to the Laundromat.

    Plaster the outside of your ship with white shirts.

    Place four nozzles symmetrically around your ship,

    which is of course saucer-shaped. Fire tomato sauce

    out in proportion to the directions you wish to go.

    The ship, drawn by the shirts, will automatically

    follow the sauce.

    "This does not work as well in deep gravity

    wells, since the tomato sauce (now falling down a

    black hole, perhaps) will drag the ship with it,

    despite the counter-force of the anti-gravity

    cat/butter machine. Your only hope at that point is to

    jettison enormous quantities of Tide. This will create

    the well-known Gravitational Tidal Force."

     

    :mellow: :D ^_^
