General_Bob (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=234345) has found a new way to pass time spent waiting for Mod 9's release: betting! With a 5000pp minimum wager, the pool is sure to be huge, so head over to his thread (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=176569) and earn some plat!

Guild: Eye of Kemet

About The Guild: There's a new guild here on Thelanis (my home server) specifically for Ancient Egyptian interests and Kemetic Orthodoxy people. We're named the Eye of Kemet, and it's a balanced guild (both RP and normal gaming). The only thing that we do require is that you're interested in Ancient Egypt and/or have a character based from it.


Over 500 guilds have pages in the Compendium guild listings (http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Category:Guild_and_Character_listings_by_server), and yours can too! Try a template (http://compendium.ddo.com/wiki/Category:Guild_Page_Templates) today!

Helping new or returning players, one topic at a time!


DDO Dictionary: Modifier
Definition: Any bonus or penalty applying to a die roll. A positive modifier is a bonus, and a negative modifier is a penalty. Modifiers from the same source do not stack, and modifiers with specific descriptors generally do not stack with others of the same type. If more than one modifier of a type is present, only the best bonus or worst penalty in that grouping applies. Bonuses or penalties that do not have descriptors stack with those that do. Example: Enhancement bonuses to Wisdom do not stack with other enhancement bonuses to Wisdom, but a morale bonus to saves does stack with a luck bonus to saves.

In a world where threads are tasty and posts are food, one Cube has chosen a question.
Now he's looking for answers...




This Week's Question, baddax (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=94474) asks:
How do Cubes reproduce? Are there male and female cubes? Are they like slimes and oozes that reproduce by splitting?

This week's answers:
Jefro (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=31926) says: The cube does not reproduced, its just the master of space time and there is really only one cube!

The Cube has always been affiliated with time travel, it was no coincidence that the TARDIS was built like a cube.

Borror0 (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=37042) says: The Cube does not reproduce. There is only one Cube. He is omnipresent and almighty.

All hail the Cube!

Aerniel (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=46153) says: The cube is too sacred to be split, but at the same time too sacred to reproduce. He is almight and immortal! THESE THINGS ARE MEANINGLESS TO THE CUBE!

Normally The Cube would not reveal its secrets, but The Cube feels compelled to answer its fans. The Cube is all Cubes, for there is only One Cube.
- Your friend, The Cube

Next week's question, BurnerD (http://forums.ddo.com/member.php?u=33634) asks:
Is Eladrin still around? If not, what do you think happened to him?


Think you have a good question for the community? Let The Cube judge!
Send your question for the Community to DDO@turbine.com - your questions/answers could make it past The Cube's belly, and into the next Chronicle! Make sure to identify yourself!

That would be funny if the servers were down all day to with the message that mod 9 is updating or some such
