The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

[Aelonwy]

Well, the single Sunflask is still a thing.



Pfft.

I have nothing positive to say about that. I very briefly considered going VIP for the daily gold roll then my common sense popped up and said "Ha! You've rolled a literal 1, four times since the first of the year!" Granted, I can't be bothered to roll on every server, and granted I roll right away when I log in because otherwise I just forget to do it. My luck and my rolling habits, and the poor rewards even for high rolls make this promotion just not appealing enough. Congrats to everyone for whom DD is great fun but I sort of miss the DDO lottery, I used to win stuff from that all the time. I remember getting hearts, hair dyes, even astral shards once i think.

Right on! Grats & stuff.


...... Late /nab on palindrome

[cdbd3rd]

Tonight, killing zombies on the wife's phone letting some old movie run on TV minding it's own business. Look up and it's the parting of the sea scene of the Ten Commandments. Kinda cool shot for the age of the movie, so I'm watching everyone roll down onto the sea bed, when....



Can see the goose standing up wobbly right as the scene cut. Can almost hear him asking, "Did someone get the plate of that truck?"


..... Late /nab on the trip 6's.

[cdbd3rd]

Oldest Last Log In of CM just passed 15 years.
Can also tell how badly I've been slacking getting any guild levels.

[cdbd3rd]

Digging thru old mules, found a set of armor with the old style cosmo applied to it. Mithril Platemail base armor.





Edit: Ah-ha! Found it in your old Cosmetics Images thread, Ael. Seems to have been re-issued as Darksteel Spiral Heavy though with some extra spray paint editing the panties into shorts.

[cdbd3rd]

So I find out today that the Fallen Earth folks have reopened the old servers to let us radiation addicts play around while they keep working at building the new thing. ... like 6/7 months ago. Down side is they wiped the servers first. Kinduva bummer, but... *shrug* I'd forgotten just how much I was missing whacking mutant prairie chickens.

*raises eyebrow askance*
Good.

I am almost afraid to ask but what is a mutant prairie chicken? or more specifically how can you tell its a mutant? Laser precision egg shooting? two heads? adamantine beak?

I did not know Cupcake Muskateers was your Guild. Did you create it or inherit it?

10-10.

That was a huge song for awhile. like a year of that on the radio.

Wow , the voice immediately in that video. What a throwback.. ty!
Wow, right further back that was the 70's i'm getting old af.

And now I gotta listen to the song...

OMG that falsetto chorus, I'd forgotten. The 70's were kinda weird.

That's crazy, neat to know they are still plugging away at it. I suppose.
The game was a bit ahead of it's time. And so vast it was difficult to keep it all under one roof.
I hope the best for them, we gave it a good shot, the groundwork was getting laid, they(we) just ran short of time and money in the end.
RIP Icarus.

My find of the day.

Slow the 80s Chipmunks album down to 1/16th speed, and....

I prefer Walk and Sharona.





1.) Call Me
2.) Walk Like An Egyptian
3.) Heaven Is A Place On Earth
4.) Diamond Dolls
5.) You Keep Me Hanging On
6.) My Sharona
7.) Always On My Mind
8.) Refugee

'6.) My Sharona' = great song ...

Within the natural mountain ring is a valley that contains the only merchant in game.
Which is surrounded by a barrier, to ward away mobs.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2801667536
Well, I made it. And have just begun to attempt to capture the valley.

I rolled this seed a year ago(Mar.), and soon after that it became unstable and unplayable. Until late Nov. just before my 50th.
And since I have been racing to stay ahead of content release for Mistlands.
Which borders me alot on that island. But currently 'vacant' land.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2797558462
So to head off immediate issues I have tried to fully uncover them, and more seriously in the nearby areas strip the land surface of the flora that other biomes use to exert control.
Which is this land in the background, while this is an old shot, I have since entirely stripped that area of soil and lowered much of it to below water surface level.
It's kinda like scraping the icing off a cake. From before I started clearing.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=2797154976
And to make my chances better inside the ring, out side the ring I made a Camp. Which I hope will become the Dock House Keep, thing....
the beginnings of which is this motley mess.

The island itself is very nearly on the edge of the entire map.
A pretty long way away by boat.

The trip itself took two game sessions, or 3, and two-three days irl.

lotta folks popping out of the woodwork to say hi

[cdbd3rd]

Well, one of the first clues you notice is that it is trying to eat you.

[cdbd3rd]

IIRC, DKerrigan was the original original founder, in deference to Cupcake.

I took the reins (I had hoped temporarily) when Cuppy stepped away from the game. Cuppy was a bit of a roaming Altoholic as well, so there are 2 or 3 old original CM guilds, the main finally landing on Thelanis.

We still get an occasional visitor dropping by to adjust the "Last Log In" dates, but mostly the membership is just a long list of names and memories.


/Nabbing a small straight.

That last bit, where it takes literally days to get to a place. That has always boggled my mind.

Do you know the origin of the name, "Cupcake Muskateers"?

I would offer to put a character in your Guild but I am on Khyber.
