Kitty Moon – the destruction of a computer.

“I kitty mooned my PC today because those damn error messages kept popping up.”

DISCLAIMER: We don’t write em…we just post em!

As you may have heard, WTC closed down for a few days so that JP could fix the corruption in the game. While he did fix it, I wonder if the game can continue without it happening again. I know at least two people who’s ships have been changing around on them even now. One had a max ISS change to a merchant frighter, a pod, then a maxed havoc.

Also new for the WTC is the latest version of TWGS: Now at v.47. New in this revision are:

– ALL ships in fedspace are now being repossessed at extern (Which makes this obsolete.)
– a 50% chance of a turn being deduced while fleeing. Used to cut down the cash made from SDF.
– Lastly, I think a screenshot is in order:

—

That’s right! Now you can set if you automatically flee while online! No longer will you have to worry about getting pinged at stardock followed up with a photon. This is easily the best change in a long while.This revision is only at The Stardock for beta testing at the moment, but will become available soon.

In the continuing saga of StarDock running out of materials for ships, Prophet wasn’t online during extern yesterday which caused his ships to get repossesed.

With other corps scripting to grab any available ship slots over the past week, the removal of these ships didn’t help the spam at stardock. Which is in a word, cool. Now not only do I get spam at Stardock, but also in the logs! I don’t believe there’s any immediate threat of the ship limit being hit again, but as Miss Cleo predicted, I’m probably wrong.

The Wolfpack Den

The Wolfpack Corporation

Wolfpack Corp Logo

What is the Wolfpack?
When we started, we were a rag-tag bunch of players, that played like a pack of wolves.
As time went on, a cancer spread among us. We eliminated that cancer.
Now, we are the War Wolves. We play to win. We play to the finish.
Each member has his/her own unique qualities, that helps us hunt, and be the best we can be.

Wanna be a Wolf cub?
We take on new players by recommendations from current Wolfpack members only.
New players wanting to join will be evaluated by all current members.
They are asked to play a couple games with us. If all works out, they are asked to join.

Is Wolfpack for everyone?
No, its not.
We have certain requirements that must be met.
If you are asked to join, it will be explained at that time.

The War Wolves

I’m sure you’ve already heard about the ship incident in the WTC. I’m sure you were expecting to hear about it here first. I’m sure you wern’t suprised when you didn’t. Inbetween moving and working torwards a new site design, I always felt there was more I need to write or redo before it was done. It started with a few paragraphs and ended up being a few pages.

The Dark Millenium website is updated with post-E3 stuff. First announced is that they beat out Caeron 3000 for spot #9 in gamespot’s top 10 online games. There are also new screenshots from E3, but unfortunatelly it’s not of, or contain their booth or anything from E3. It’s MORE ingame screenshots which is bad especially since I can find game screenshots
everywhere else On the web. I sent a person to take shots of the booth, but aparently he got lost during the power outages and has yet to return home. I wasn’t able to attend because my cousin had a weeding that damn weekend. Of course, the $250 entrance fee is a bit prohibitive too. It would be nice if I got sponsored by a company for next year. *coughcough*

Or you can just complain about how you didn’t get to go to E3 here

Today’s word of the day is brought to you by the letter T and Timberwolf.

Timberpost – posting an e-mail to a public forum when it should have been private. Example: Bad Girl timberposted in TWleague forum that someone lost a chair at a softball game.

The TW Awards are in and once again I don’t have to contemplate suicide. We officially won Best Comedic Site and best Editorial site. We came in a close second for best news site, (Mostly because I voted for that other guy because I didn’t think I’d have any chance of winning. Looks like I need to meet Barney so he lead me on an adventure that shows me the power of believing in myself.) and took 2nd place in best website category. Congrats to all who won, even Augi.
