*maniacal* DON'T RUN! DON'T RUN! *chases mallet with a crowbar*

*Looks back to find out that DoomedOne is chasing after him*

"Awww Damn!"

*Decided to swipe Revan's doughnut and throws it at DoomedOne, hoping that the food will provide a distraction long enough to get away*

"I'm too beautiful to be smashed by a crowbar!"

*Dodges a donut, then a crowbar before finally finding a free table.*

One glass of water, please.

Now to get back on track.

Planty, congratulations with your title (I'm sure you'll succeed.)

Neela, welcome back.

Bot or no bot, stay away. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the bot theory here. The message is always exactly the same and apparently chosen from a not too long list. Still annoying as hell though.

Speaking about annoying internet, I've discovered the problem of giving your email adress to a friend. I don't blame him, cause he probably suffers the same trouble I suffer from, only worse. (He's got like every single email adress from five overfilled classes worth of students at school while I have like five adresses in total. That's like twenty times as many openings for infiltration.)

It began two days ago, with me receiving a notice of winning the U.K. national lottery. Say what? I don't play in a lottery, I don't live in the U.K. and even if I did, my luck would surely keep me away from 250.000 bucks.

Six hours later, the next one came in. This one about a private banker who was the only one with knowledge about a bank account of a dead client. Claimed that I had the same surname and was willing to make an (illegal) deal of splitting the money 50-50 by simply appointing me as next of kin. Yeah, as if. First of all, like I'm going to just believe this piece of crap. You're the only one who knows about the bank account and are willing to illegally receive half of 30+ million bucks. If you were serious, you would just keep the whole lot for yourself. Then, I'm quite sure that no one with the same surname has ever been in the position for depositing 30 million bucks at a private bank. And finally, I'm 17.5 years old, go bother my dad instead or something! Would you let a child walk in and claim a big dose of money just like that? Not at all.

Yesterday was calm, nothing at all.

Today they returned. First came someone who claimed to have lung cancer which also affected her brains, heart, digestive system and in short, everything. Sure knew how to type for someone who claimed to have a malfunctioning brain. Wanted me to be in charge of her 15 million funds which would be spread to family members upon her death, minus my promised salary. Of course she needed a whole lot of information first.
Ok, a confident email to a complete stranger? An underage stranger? Someone who is legally not in the position for that kind of jobs and wouldn't want to either? And do you really think you can write this or even inform someone to write this with the medical condition you claim? Guess the brains really are busted.

Just half an hour ago came the last one. The same lottery nonsense again, with a changed date and the price upped to 300 million. Eh, a lottery giving out 300 million? The highest I've ever seen in real life went to 22 million, quite a difference. And you want me to give every information (age, name, gender, email adress, telephone blablabla) when you claim to already know? (Especially the email, they literally claimed to have made the selection on my email adress.)

And finally, all use a @yahoo email adress. Doesn't sound like the email system rich (albeit corrupt) bankers, national lotteries and such use.

It's quite amusing to read all that nonsense though it gets rather tiresome to delete them all the time. And I'm fearfully awaiting the day that they send more violent stuff. (virusses.)



Note: In case you wonder, yes I would refuse even if it was all real. I'm crazy like that. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Anyway, I refuse free money if it involves me going anywhere. I already did it with 500 euros from my grandmother which is quite a lot in my world. She needs it more than I do. Give me a legal job instead, thank you very much.

Welcome back Neela! I wondered where you´ve been......It´s so good to see you here again!

well I have one email address that I use on the internet for things that might actually require me to respond occasionally. I keep one email address completely private. For everything else that requires my email address, but who I feel don't need it. I give them junkmail@hotmail.com. I don't know who actually might own that email address. Hope its no one I know

Only very specific email get through my filters anyway. All the rest drops into the junk folder. I may lose an important message now and then but at least I don't have to read any of that stuff.


edit ** glad to see you too Minque! ***

Throughout all these coffee shops, I never told you people how much I detest coffee.
Hot chocolate anyone?

Hahaha....well sweetie I´ll have a cup if you can spare one! I like both....

Nice to see you again Wurlon!

Yea, I'm not a coffee fan myself. Not even tea either, though I think I would enjoy tea a bit more than coffee...


*nibbles on a strawberry danish*

*Annoyed picks up another glazed*

Anyway, welcome back Neela. Haven't seen that idiot since two days ago, so maybe he's gone for good (one can only hope). I happen not have any urge to try coffee or hot chocolate...... I don't even know if I've ever had hot chocolate......

How have you not had hot chocolate!?

Never had hot choclate? Isn't that in breach of international law, or something? I could've sworn it was...

Does any of you experience that the pm-function isn´t working?

*Police sirens audible in the background*

"Uh........"

*Looks between the door and Wolfie and Zealot*

"I'm going to lay low for awhile, then when all this blows over I WILL BE BACK!"

*Dissappears in a black cloud of colored smoke*

Argh! This cough is killing me! Of course, drinking outside in the cold probably doesn't help my situation but I wanted to see my friends!

And minque, I did notice that the PM is acting kinda weird, but I have been getting those messages you sent me. So they're working, but not like they usually do I guess.

Ahh I´m releived! Heh...drinking inside is far better..imo, At the moment I´m having a glass of red wine and I will make a big toast to our one and only....my moderator-colleague..BURNTSIERRA, who is getting older today....heh...

Hey, has anyone tried those new Tandoori Sizzler Doritos yet? Because they're actually not too bad if you don't mind a bit of spice to your chips. I think I like the sweet chili heat more, but this ain't half bad.

Never had hot chocolate, tea makes me sick and I can't stand the smell of coffee. Yeah, I'm a heretic. *jumps through the window, escaping the many donuts being thrown.*

Ouch, I should've remembered that glass shards are well, sharp.

Ahem, I've installed a filter but I don't know yet if it works. So far I've not received anything, except yet another lotto victory. That was before the installation.

*Appear out of thin air, and dissappear with Jack*

"Vamos, Hermano! Let's get out of here before the boys in blue show up........ or the men in black, they are much worse!"

hey yo, i got two questions about TES universe was wonderin someone could answer real quick. i would ask in older games or something but no one seems to go there very often, and i didnt see it necessary to start an entire new topic here...

k, firstly: about how old are the cities of cyrodiil at the time of the oblivion crisis?

and which landmass of tamriel is composed of desert? hammerfell? whicih ever it is, does anyone have a link describing the terrain there? or an accurate map?

This post has been edited by ShogunSniper: Mar 10 2007, 10:34 PM

I don't know the exact answer. The Imperial City dates back to the first era, which means it's very old. Other cities are likely a lot younger.

Hammerfell is partially desert though it has a green coast area. Elsweyr is part desert as well, I forgot if it was the south or the north part. Detailed maps are unavailable for as far as I know though I could make a few Fraps screenshots of the map used in Arena.

*Runs after Revan, while a copcar with blaring sirens comes into the street.*

I knew this was a bad day to sell my Cobra MK III!
