[FONT=Calibri]Actually, no, I was rather serious. =D I can read wikipedia articles about games all day, and it may help me, may not. (Most likely not; those things are devoid of any meaningful content.) But I find that, when it comes to games, if a person who enjoys the game comes and tells me about what you do, what you can do, what [I]awesome[/I] stuff happens sometimes, and are genuinely interested in the game themselves, then I am more readily drawn into it than by someone who asks if I play it and then hands me a GameInformer and says go wild. So, I read the thread, and got the impression [COLOR=DarkRed]Lyndy[/COLOR] was excited about it, so I googled it and read the wiki article, and then asked her about it to see her spin on it. And, well.... [I]*shrug*[/I][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I'm significantly more impressed by the 1-18 up top. That takes dedication.[/FONT]

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]Fast forward a few years, and I convinced Beth to get the game and join Rare, which then snowballed into more people from theO/OB also getting the game and joining.[/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I feel slightly hurt that you remember her getting it but not me. I WAS PLAYING BEFORE SHE WAS, DAMMIT [I]*shot*[/I] [quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]There'll be a Rare guild in GW2 as well, so I imagine the active theO/OB people who get GW2 will migrate over to it. But characters can be in multiple guilds in GW2, so we could start a separate theO/OB guild too if we wanted.[/color][/quote] That reminds me. [COLOR=DarkRed]Petie[/COLOR], you have to leave your current guild before you can be invited to any other guilds. I added you in as a guest for now, so that should be waiting for you, at least for a little while (it expires after so long, I think), but yes.[/FONT]

Right, because the default for specific lists is the 'LIST=1' code, I think. You have to physically tell it to switch to =A.

I've toggled my editing mode so I have to manually input all of my code for formatting. Easier to see where something is doing weird code-y things so I can fix it. But I also tried a formatted list, and when I had everything set up as bullets and sent, the resulting message had no bullets and looked exactly like I had wanted it to look in the unformatted list, except without the space between the initial line and the start of the list. And I don't seem to be having any issues in regular forum posts. So that's odd.

So, in trying to reply to a message, I added a few 'Enter's to try and make a decent unformatted list of stuff. Problem is, when I send the message, all those extra lines just vanish into nowhere, leaving my list looking something like this. Item A which is cool.Item B which is sorta neat.Item C which is mostly silly.Item D which I am just including for space now.

[FONT=Calibri][COLOR=DarkRed]Des[/COLOR] would know more about Savio than I do currently. He only just recently became active again, so we're only sort of getting to know each other. I was just going to post the list here, but I'm not sure if a few people would mind having names out in the open.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I recently was made an officer, so I can toss you an invite if you want. That is, unless [COLOR=DarkRed]Des[/COLOR] objects. =P[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Fifteen Over Fifty [Rare] is the guild [COLOR=DarkRed]Des[/COLOR] pulled me into when I first started playing the game. No idea how I found this page, but [url='http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild:Fifteen_Over_Fifty']here[/url] is pretty much the ancient history of the place. Most of what I know about the game came from either stoically playing solo by myself or paying quiet attention to Carinae and Orual Fox in Guild/Alliance chat as they bounced builds around. Car doesn't get on too much anymore, but Savio and Fungus Amongus recently showed back up and have been plugging through stuff. Fox just got his computer fixed (learned this last night) and is probably [I]still[/I] downloading the client and unable to log into the forums (bahaha), so he'll be back in it, too. So, with myself, Beth (Sunfall Ennien), and [COLOR=DarkRed]Des[/COLOR], that makes six people already probably on the same world. Technically [COLOR=DarkRed]Kei[/COLOR] and [COLOR=DarkRed]Lyndy[/COLOR], and I think a couple of people who spend more time on TheO, are also guild members, but I don't know if they've prepurchased, or even plan on getting it.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]They're basically servers. =P [COLOR=DarkRed]Des[/COLOR], Savio nominated SF as well, so I think most of [Rare] will be showing up on that world. Any other OBers who want to hang out during the beta, that's where Beth and I will probably be. Two days. Client already installed, and updates will be checked for nightly.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Yeah, I read that as well. I demand more content by OP!!!![/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]First I've heard of it. What's the general gist? What's gameplay like, what do you do, etc.?[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Back from leave. Good week; saw several people I hadn't got to see before I left, caught up with some friends, had several well-deserved lazy mornings. Got to drive around in a [url="http://images.carlotbot.com/pictures/35296099.jpg"]2011 Mitsubishi Galant[/url], which handles real sweet once you get to know her a bit. Funny story, that. When I first got her, I didn't know how sensitive to be, so she overreacted a lot, and it pretty well looked like my first time. But after we got a little bit of road under our belts, I figured out how to communicate with her and when to let her be, and she purred right along. Really good gas mileage, too. Spent most of yesterday either hunting for my hotel or being led willingly around by the nose by my esteemed nemesis, [COLOR=DarkRed]Raiha[/COLOR], on a tour of several fantastic sections of Chicago. Spent most of today sleeping on airplanes. Significantly less enjoyable than yesterday. I really didn't want to get out of the bed this morning. =P[/FONT]

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]Same here. I've been playing a lot more lately since I discovered that hard mode is actually possible to do by myself on my monk now that I can bring a party of seven heroes. Back when I had to use henchies, it was mostly an excercise in frustration because the four henchies in the party would always have crappy damage output, so I couldn't kill anything fast enough, and low survivability, so I couldn't keep them alive, either. Some of the other professions could cover for the henchies' weaknesses pretty well, but monk was one of the most difficult to play with h/h in HM.[/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Mostly the only things I'm working on presently are mapping, elites, and vanquishes. That and a few others should get me pretty close to GWAMM, I think. I've already got all the reward items for GW2, so this is mostly just for me. Also have that PreSearing warrior working on Legendary Defender of Ascalon, and then Survivor after I get her out. 18/20 right now, so only a few more Vanguard quests to do, and then a bunch of regular quest turn-ins for the final push, there. And I still need to do War in Kryta and Winds of Change. Which makes me wonder if there'll be any Elonian [I]Beyond[/I] content.[/FONT] [quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]Also, [b]the first GW2 beta weekend event is April 27-29[/b], for anyone who hasn't heard. It starts at noon PDT Friday and runs through all of Sunday. Everyone who's prepurchased the game automatically gets in. I'm going to be playing pretty much all weekend except when I have work. I'll post my character name and home server when it starts.[/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I'll probably be doing a lot of the same, depending on what watches I'm slated to stand and how my quals are coming.[/FONT] [quote name='Petie'][color=#0000ff]I had no idea they did this! I had wanted to try out Aion but I didn't want to pay for another subscription based game. I just created my account and I'm installing it now![/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Soon as I get back to base I'll swap character names, although depending on which side and server you chose, I may already know it. If you want to pal around as Asmodians then I suggest the Kahrun server. I'm already over there.[/FONT]

[quote name='Pumpkin'][size=2]I will probably be a female Sylvari elementalist or necromancer if possible. I love the idea of new races and classes they look completely different & amazing. I'm super stoked also to see so many OB members taking an interest as well, we will definately all have to meet up when it releases. [/size][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I may make a Sylvari just for this.[/FONT] [quote name='Pumpkin'][size=2]Anyone playing any other online game at the moment btw?[/size][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Still working on uncompleted stuff in Guild Wars, and since I noticed a load of NCSoft games have recently gone F2P, I'm also tooling around in Aion, too. Definitely did a halo drop soon as I had my wings. It's pretty nuts.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]So I noticed that if you reply to someone's status, dislike the comment and delete it, and then reply to the status again, the board system reads both of those replies as notification items. Translation: I just got six notifications from [COLOR=DarkRed]Sazabi[/COLOR] making one reply to [COLOR=DarkRed]Asrai[/COLOR]'s status. Kinda weird.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I've definitely already got a few set down. I like your list format, too, so I'll stick with it. Ranger â?? Charr male Necromancer â?? Norn female Guardian â?? probably Charr female, maybe Norn male Elementalist â?? Human male; or maybe Sylvari something. If I play any of the others way on down the road, this might be how I slot them. Engineer â?? Asuran (probably), gender undecided Mesmer â?? Sylvari female Thief â?? ...actually, I'm not even sure I want to play a Thief. We'll see. Maybe a Sylvari also.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I am looking forward so much to playing as a Charr. So much Roman.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Yeah yeah yeah. Lazy-ass. =P On a totally different note, I notice that the calendar dates for last-post-made data is in military date format. This amuses and pleases me. Well. I mean it's the same order. Same format would mean, like, 05MAR12. But close enough.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]So, pretty much anyone who's been around the site and seen me around the site knows I'm a halfway decent writer. But I'm not the only one in my family with artistic inclinations. All three of my sisters are heavy into the visual arts, and their tastes range from sculpting to charcoal to graphic design, to these little, six-inch, ridiculously intricate clay people who, like, dude. Holy crap. Not gonna show any of those right now. What I do want to show off is a small upload of a piece my second sister worked on for a couple of weeks. [center][attachment=15272:cars.jpg][/center] Medium was acrylic on newspaper-covered canvas. She has also done a 3D-illusion mural of a cheesecake for a local dessert place. Seriously.[/FONT]

[quote name='Lyndy']No room atm.[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I see this nice big space under your desk where your feet go.[/FONT]
