F is inviting you to start Quarto. Do you want to Accept (Alt+C) or Decline (Alt+D) the invitation?
You have accepted the invitation to start Quarto.

Now I'm tempted to dig out my Ultima Collection disc and try out U6O. Sherry the Mouse ftw!

I've dicked around in U6O for shits and giggles. You don't need a disc at all.

Perhaps, but I now have a hankering for downloading Exult and playing a bit of Ultima 7, at least the Forge of Virtue portion. Forging your very own Black Sword of WTFpwnage roolz.

So for a couple months now, the ongoing series of events have allowed players to gather pieces of blackrock by one mechanism or another. It's been pretty common, and for a while I was seeing chunks of it on vendors for 20k each. Now it turns out that with the next publish, you'll be able to turn pieces of blackrock in for rewards.
And I don't just mean some junk. I mean uber high-end items. Doom artifacts, top-level runic smith hammers, all sorts of shit. Based on the amount of blackrock that has to be floating around by now, I think prices on just about everything are about to CRASH HARD.
Something big is up for them to be tossing around uber items like this. Months ago in this thread I was speculating that they were going to reintroduce meaningful item decay. This sudden wave of artifacts and uber crafting items makes me think I might have been right after all.

Nelson confides that you are a myopic turd burglar
Arf. You should change "confides" to "expects": it compresses better with UUEncode. :-D |

Yes, and I suppose I should change "Nelson" to "England" as well, but a picture of England doesn't make nearly as good an avatar.  |

Its funny that you try so hard to disguise your grief title. Your "I quit" drama over it was priceless.

I'm gonna give the staff a little time to neuter Morris here, if it so chooses. If it does not, I don't want anyone coming in here with their panties in a wad, acting all surprised when I flame him out of his socks.

Copy, paste, alter text, save as whatever.html, open in browser, screenshot, photoshop. Maybe convert the black background to an unused color and set it as transparent so it doesn't stick out on the posts with the light gray background. Seamless. |

Entirely more work than it would be worth, even if the intention were for it to be "seamless" in the first place.

So I scroll up to see a post where you're on a gray background only to discover your posts are on black every time this page. :(

Indeed! Witness my strategery, as I do it again!
But yeah, a two-minute MSPaint job that fools nobody? That's called having fun with a grief title. Busting out the HTML and Photoshop to do a "seamless" version? That might actually convince someone who didn't enjoy the taste of paint chips while growing up that one was trying to "disguise" their title.
Hey guys, thanks for pushing for the slow kids explanation of a joke I figured everyone understood after the first couple years.

WUA is a side effect of UO's spagetti code trained on compilation of stratics posts getting near self-awareness and then going mad... As such WUA is yet to evolve true free will and is not capable of ignoring inputs. WUA still needs 10-15 Trammel threads to get free will concept down. |
