Extended family...? I'm glad I don't have to call any of my mom's friend's children "cousin". That would be awkward. >_>

he changed my name to something rather rediculous (schmuckers or something dumb like that) so i got on another char to go talk to him about it.

well he went into hiding so i started shouting. Then he disabled my shout command. My only way to get his attention was to make characters so i made one named BiteMeSteam he changed it to IluvSteam, which i totally saw coming (overbearing AND unoriginal, he's got everything going for him!)

I eventually got over it and created a new fighter with a completely innocent name (16Bit) then grinded him to just short of level 8 before the server went down. during the down time i decided to hop on Teva to chat with some buds and i found out my IP was blocked.

I attempted to go over his head and talked to dschang on msn but he said he didn't want to undermine the authority of the GMs (i already figured as much)

I created a spoof account and sent Steam a PM on outspark. i have a feeling rather than handling this professionally, he's going to once again flex his GM muscles and just ban it without a word.

I'm sorry Apoline players but steam gave me a reason to test my server crash. you may as well migrate now because until they find a patch for it, apoline will be unplayable as of saturday.

Hessah 10-19-2007 07:07 AM

eh? test your server crash?

sounds like u're about to hack into it....

well if that IS true.. (maybe i'm just misunderstanding some jargon)... STOP coz dont punish the players when its not the players that got you annoyed....

Of course.

KY_Jelly 10-19-2007 09:26 AM

dont worry hessah, already tested it. it's purely client sided. so i guess i can insta disconnect now, but thats about it.

I have made a new char and i will be lurking around Apoline and Teva secretly so i dont get b&. I may make a quick appearance at the meet n greet to say hi to everyone before i sneak off into the shadows again.

Pritcher 10-19-2007 09:37 AM

I'll be there.

Phantom Badger 10-19-2007 07:38 PM

....My dad is palying a German song and im pretty sure I heard 'Ashlock' or something similar (asshole in german)

Anyway im desperatly goign to try to make it

Wink 10-20-2007 03:27 AM

I will definitely be there. I can't wait. I'm really excited because this will give me the chance to earn some cash for my character so I can start being on Teva more often. Being a Mage is expensive and all I have is Potion/Scroll production. No money in that when i'm using it all for myself. ;-;

Albireo 10-22-2007 05:12 AM

Ill be there as Albeir if a can make it.

Blaaaaaaaah 10-23-2007 09:14 AM


URGENT NOTE: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!

I just found out that some of us may be going through day light savings time this weekend. I figured this might cause confusion, so go to this site here to find out if you have DST or not.

One hour forward or one hour back?
"The clock moves ahead (thus, losing one hour) when DST starts, typically in the spring, and falls back one hour (thus, gaining one hour) when DST ends in the fall."

I am not changing the time in the post because some of you don't have DST. But if you do, please make sure you do change the time so you don't pop up one hour off. E.g. For the Australians out there, it's 12pm Sunday for us, but I'm leaving it as 11am for other people who doesn't need to change their clock.

I've also put this in the first post. Any questions or problems about that - I'll try help you out. Or just ask around, I'm sure people who live with you would know.

Yosei 10-23-2007 09:15 AM

Spring forward fall back :D thats how I remember lol.

ThievingSix 10-23-2007 09:58 AM

Meh if you want change my IGN to Ousama, doubt it really matters though.

Blaaaaaaaah 10-23-2007 10:24 AM

It doesn't really matter, but I added it anyway.

I'm just making the list since I don't know all your IGNs. xD

azelz 10-23-2007 01:21 PM

ill join in my IGN is probably gonna be Zane72 since i have to make a new character ((i only play in apoline))

Phantom Badger 10-23-2007 11:09 PM

If i manage to stay up till 1 in the morning to do this i better get some sort of consolation prize

EDIT:
just notice the DST so ill have to stay up for an extra hour. Yay me -sigh-

Where do you live and what time does your DST start? I was a bit worried for those whose time would be at 1am because for where I live, DST starts at 2am. So if your DST starts at 2am, then you don't need to move the clock forward. Or something. D:

Hessah 10-23-2007 11:57 PM

oh geez! i think we should do a 3 hr count down or something here.. so ppl know when to expect the event that morning/arvo/evening...

ballz_of_fury 10-24-2007 12:06 AM

ign-bomchikawahwah:)

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 12:09 AM

Hm, yeah, I could. I can edit the first post saying how many hours left, and people can check the time I edited my post so they know when I said "three hours left".

Hessah 10-24-2007 12:21 AM

yeah cool... if i remember i'll probably make a post for "3 hrs left" coz that's 9am here and i'm sure u wont wanna get up so early to post that XD

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 12:25 AM

LOLOLOL True that. Thanks. =D

Rightclaw 10-24-2007 01:18 AM

One of those countdown things would be good. o.o

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 01:23 AM

Oh yea, good idea. But what about daylight savings and stuff? Oh wait, doesn't really matter if it's just counting down right?


-removed clock-

Is that right? Lol.

Click. Is that right? Lol.

I think it's right. o.o

Don't forget to add it the the first post.

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 01:37 AM

Will do - just checking it's right first.

Edit: WAIIIT! Should I make it to 12pm? Since it's 12pm at my time? Does these countdown thing go through DST? D:

Rightclaw 10-24-2007 01:43 AM

Not sure, LOL. I don't think it matters anyway. Just tell people to check the countdown, and when it ends, then that's the time the event starts. HOPEFULLY everyone who wanted to participate will check this thread. e.e

Hessah 10-24-2007 01:47 AM

EDIT: i was wrong..

but i still think its off by 2 hrs keke...

As at 12pm here it says 3 days and 21 hrs...

the event should be 3 days and 23 hrs away... isnt it??

coz its still at 11am now time... its physically 4 days less 1 hr away...

daylight saving moves our clock.. but doesnt physically miss an hr...? XD if that makes any sense...

Wait i'll draw up a graph at lunch time and double check!

Lady-Loki 10-24-2007 01:47 AM

Woo Hoo!
 
I put that shortcut on my desktop! Thanks! :)

so shouldnt it be exactly 4 days + 10 mins from now??

it looks off by... 3 hrs...?? hahaha

Oh yeah. WTH! Wait. I need go uni. I'll fix this when I come back.

LOKIII! Don't use that countdown, there's something wrong with it! I'll update it again when I know what I'm supposed to do. @.@'

Hessah 10-24-2007 02:13 AM

OK... that countdown should have Sydney time, 12noon 28th Oct Sunday.

Since the event is still held at 11am (GMT+10), this is actually 12pm in Sydney after DST. In another words, when DST kicks in, Sydney is actually GMT+11. And the countdown timer took in the effect of DST, so we have to put 12pm.

Essentially, the event is held on 28th October Sunday

11am (GMT+10); OR
12pm (GMT+11) for DST.


For the Aussies: Note that QLD is in the same timezone as NSW/VIC, but they don't do DST, so it's still 11am for any Queenslanders (though i don't think we've got any).

For all other countries: I tried to work out whether they change their clock backward coz their DST might hv finished instead of start on the other side of the world. But it's too confusing. So just check the count down clock once its updated XD

PS. Lemme know if this is clear or not, I'm trying to give u guys as much info as possible so u know exactly wat time it is at your area, but it might be confusing coz there's too much info XD just lemme know.

Hyper 10-24-2007 04:24 AM

Can't make it anymore. So sad...
I got from about 30-41+ just for it... *extreme depression*

At least now I could try to get to 50 for the next FF event... (Hoping its very soon. >_<) If there even is, that is...

Hessah 10-24-2007 05:12 AM

u cant make it coz u've got sth on or the time is all mucked up?

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 06:03 AM

Click.


Does that one look right?

Hessah 10-24-2007 06:45 AM

I believe so!! Cool bananas~

Blaaaaaaaah 10-24-2007 06:53 AM

Updated first post with the countdown clock.

Please check first post!
