=-=-= Why Use Spoilers =-=-=
Now there are a few reasons for using SPOILERS for a lot of things in the forum.
  1. you're actually going to show a SPOILER
    • → Do not click here: Show
      Rotten Eggs - told you!
    • → The Forester can be found: Show
      near his Little Hut, south of the river, on Map 0.0
  2. or just some fun stuff:
    • → LostKnight's houses are called: Show
      Rockheim i Steinheim nær Kedington (RHN), and
      Rockheim i Ardesia City (RHS)
  3. Large images do not load up automatically.
    1. it is a waste of server resources to load a page of 9 posts each with 3 large images and and a 10th post saying:
    2. Hey, Bob, uses spoilers please! You're burning up my phone's battery with 27 LARGE IMAGES let alone I have to scroll down forever to get past your posts. NOT HAPPY!
=== Tables seem to be broken ===
SO: use CODE BLOCKS: the button that looks like this " </> " up in the menu
Here's why:
In some programming languages "spacing" is very important just like a , is not a . so code blocks use "mono fonts"

Let's say you want to show something from the items PDF, for example my favourite blade: the MadSabre
(If you have one laying around collecting dust I'd gladly take of off your hands, dust it off, buff it up and hang it over my fireplace)

You tell me what looks better here, I formatted it a little in a text editor with mono fonts and copy pasted here three times. If you don't believe me hit the "Quote" button and check the text below, they are all the same:

1. just pasted in the message:

Name: MadSabre ID: 407
Lvl: 2000 Dmg:+2000 Arm: 0 Dex: +200 Mana: 0
Speed: 7 Range: 2 Price: 1,000,000,000

Other: -

Shop: -
Drop: -
Chest: -
Quest: 705

2. pasted in Quote blocks:
Name: MadSabre ID: 407
Lvl: 2000 Dmg:+2000 Arm: 0 Dex: +200 Mana: 0
Speed: 7 Range: 2 Price: 1,000,000,000

Other: -

Shop: -
Drop: -
Chest: -
Quest: 705

3. Pasted in Code blocks:

Code: Select all

 Name: MadSabre                                 ID: 407
  Lvl: 2000    Dmg:+2000   Arm: 0  Dex: +200  Mana: 0
Speed: 7     Range: 2    Price: 1,000,000,000

Other: -

Chest: -

IMHO, Code Blocks in this case are easier to read. But NOT good for long lines or paragraphs.

Code: Select all

I thought I'd pop on over lunch today. I found myself at a spot where I could do a little grinding on elder trappers while eating. Naturally a 4k+ player with red dinos logs almost on top of me after less than five minutes.

He started to move and I naively thought he was moving, until he stopped maybe 15 spaces away and proceeded to create a major spawn before I knew it. Good thing worms are tough enough to be swarmed, even if I had them at yellow already, as I really doubt this idiot would have cared...

I have nothing against clanned players (other than the constant invites, of course), and have had some nice interactions with others in this specific clan as well, but to you Mr too important to care your clan name is also quite the apt description of what you are.

Well, 14:30 already, where does the day go!

Got up at 09:00, and had breakfast with Mrs. LK, who decided that she wanted to head out to the shops in Kedington, Martek and Arcesia City.

So as we walked around stopping at various ladies shops, boring stuff that, finally hitting BankTown and the FT-ATM and then another "ladies store" that sells perfumes, creams, fingernail stuff, hair dye of which Mrs. LK filled a had full bag of stuff in no time flat. And I became the "Bag Man"!

she says, my ears instantly perked up,

So off we go around the corner.

Mrs. LK was duly impressed and insisted it was the best coffee she had had in YEARS, including what I make ... hmmmm! So since Mrs. LK bought all this unimportant stuff like creams, dyes and whatever else was in that bag I bought the most important stuff of the day. 250 grams of the coffee we had just had to take home AND

I think I may need to sample this best coffee ever. I shudder to think what the postal charge is though.

To this end, I have found a brand irl that could qualify as a "speed potion" relative to its effects. Normal coffee contains (on average) 60-100mg of caffeine per 12oz cup. This brand averages 720+mg per 12oz. Few stores carry it, but it CAN be ordered online.
If you really want to know, I'll pm the name of it to whoever wants, but the strong nature of it (and the youth of some players) prevents me from posting it here.

I am pretty sure I know what one you are referring to. One could say it clearly expresses the extent to which the drinker would be woken up...

Have not tried it. You know, common sense and all! ;)

So many more areas you can access. I loved fairies but I reck worms better for longevity.

Enjoy
