The Game's Down Thread.

Nope, the request tool's down too.

Also, Cindy, I think you've gone insane.

How old are you?  8?

I was being lighthearted about her stream of consciousness posts and apparent jonesing for RP.

I am fully cognizant of her sanity.  Sorry if I offended anyone.

[maxid]

You didn't.  Some people on this board are just super grumpy.

[Cutthroat]

Chill out, everyone
Arm will kill you tomorrow
For now, laugh, and rest.

Atonement or Arm:
Why choose between the two MUDs?
Shoot elves with pistols.

I want to give this post some sort of award. Can we give kudos for great forum posts?

Reading my haiku
Is reward enough for me.
Oh, shoot half-elves too.

i'm actually an extremely sensitive person, but for some reason, on the GDB and IG, i completely lose that and man up. i think its the game.

You didn't.  Some people on this board are just super grumpy.

Some people on this board are just going through withdrawals.

how long will it be?

The post said 24 hours, so THAT LONG.

Whats sad is they took it down at 1am cst wednesday morning :/ but have to wait 24 hrs to bring it back

They could move faster, if they wanted to... sounds like they have the customer service of Comcast or AT&T, however.

[Taven]

The game is down. I think I might sketch a character or two, if anyone is interested. I can't promise quality, but hey, that's okay, right?

I'm going off of old sketches now. It's impossible to make someone as wide as they are tall. It just does not work.

considering the service outages we've been having, perhapse they should choose a new ISP...

How about this: They play Arm, but they're a twink, and wanted to avoid an untimely death?

How did you end up solving it? I'm just going with different proportions that are "close enough".

i know right?

actually: curious about how the game is funded, considering i ain't seen no donation button... some rich friend?

[Nyr]

Not every place in the country/world is such a place that one can simply get another ISP.

As implied a couple times before, the ISP itself (more than likely) isn't related to the disconnects from before.

I made the height of the torso the same as the width of the shoulders, and called it good.

I haven't really been around the GDB as much as I would like this last year, or at least not as much as I would like to.
Life is so busy and usually when I sit down at the computer I barely have time to dedicate 100% to arm much less the discussion board, so so things I would like to say to get caught up.


1. Anyone who's character is considering faking their own death.... now would be a good time to disappear.

2. Cyberpatrol:  How's your love/sex life these days?

3. I miss a lot of the GDB personalities that were around/around more when I first got hooked.

4. I love some of our new newbs to death.

4b. One in particular, I was their helper for the first PC they ever wrote (ARM was also their first mud).
     This was a year or less ago.
     I got to play with them for the first time ever recently, and their RP is so awesome, it makes me want to kick myself.
     (expect kudos soon)

5. I love my new writting/world-creation cohort!
   You've got me so fired up about my current project, I might actually start writing some of it down soon!

6. You could never express in words exactly how awesome this community is, even the rotten apples... especially the rotten apples.

7. I still love Dwarves and Half-elves above all, but I have found myself playing mostly humans over the past year.  I don't think I've played more than one or two rangers over the past year! OMG! And no merchants at all.

8.  I don't get to play Arm as much as I would like.

9.  I play Arm more than I should.

10.  My gemmed dwarf viv was my favorite PC ever.  I heard he even had a <IC INFO> let by a <IC INFO> in the <IC INFO> after he died... damn I wish we could live as ghosts for a few days after we died to see how people react.  I would loved to have been there.

11. There is one guild that I just can't seem to keep alive for more than a couple days played and forget branching... maybe one day.

12. Awesome haiku, Cutthroat.

13. I miss Gage Gritshaw, he was the best Zalanthan ever.

14. Cindy... I'm sorry you can't play arm and that you have no Arms... how's that voice->print software working out for you?

15. Damn, I hate that I've missed every decently close APM since DragonCon two years ago... or was it three?

15b. I take that back... Sephiroto, Spacewars, Kronibas, and myself did get together for drinks a few weeks ago.
      It was great to see you all again.

15c. If you've never been to an APM and you ever have the chance... take it, you won't regret it.

16. I made a PC for Atonment a while back... who here is the person that is on staff there that told me to give it a try?
     I don't think I ever even logged in.

17.  My wife is fussing at me to come to bed.... goodnight y'all. Good luck on the rez/new apps

I agree with this ratio.

[jhunter]

Wierd, I didn't realize everyone else couldn't connect. Huh, I guess that explains why nobody was responding to me or fleeing. Got alot of nice boots though.
