I ask Smeg how to get to Bywater, and suddenly I find myself in Ainur prison, to be inquisitioned by the [unholy eternal]. No, it's not in color, yes, it's a stupid log, but nevertheless I found it amusing in its own special way. Enjoy!
I did not mean removing all the newbie areas. The only thing I said that Bywater is a crappy newbie area, as you have a lot of better ones: with more gold, easier mons, more exp, and less crowd -- but hey, they are needed for _newbies_ and _lowbies_. Not us old players.
About that 'boring relevel after last nuke/suicide': both nukes and suicides are nothing but your own faults. If you don't cheat, the big wolf has no reason to delete you. If you don't spree-kill, your fines are at a manageable level, and you have no reasons to suicide.
HAHAHAH Anatharn you crack me up!
Anatharn: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Can't be worse than TAG.
Ethereal: I wasn't drunk, and you know it. And I will ask you how to get to Bywater. Again and again and again. And you'll keep talking to me nevertheless. Ha!
the point 'no more boring relevel after the last nuke/suicide' would be extremely interesting especially for you, Nicuramar..
Psha, all I know about this comment thread is that I'm better than Ethereal at soccer! :P
Yes indeed Nagash, let's remove all the crappy newbie areas in the game. Actually, it would be easier that way:
You start as a level 19 right away.. no more boring relevel after the last nuke/suicide due to fines. After all the only part of the game that is worth playing is as a maxed out eh?
As an added advantage, we would all be free of annoying newbie questions.
whats Bywater?? =)
What the hell? Etoile is a jewish girl? I've been helping a jewish girl??? Damn, now that really sucks since I'm a Nazi as you all know. Guess I'll suicide.. someone hand me my SS gun.
Bah... I didn't know where Bywater is as well, until like three years ago.
Why would anyone care for a part of Hobbiton, a crappy newbie area?
Haha! Nice one cupcake. I was at my soccer game so i couldnt come on to bust ya out :( But the log was hella funny. Though if you ever tell me you dont know how to get to bywater i'll never talk to you again :P *thinks jewish girls should never get drunk*
Uh... I kinda agree with Melkor here. It's fucking Bywater. What the hell?
*snap* How come I always miss the NY Mudparties =(? Wheet Wheet!
QUEST INFO!!
Anatharn is so right. SO right. I can get to a tent in Osgiliath. Huzzah! What's even greater is that he actually bothered to teach me some aliases. *cheers for Anatharn!*
Deadlok, thanks! Maybe in another 4 years, I'll actually need to get to Bywater. I'll be sure to save your alias in my Notebook-O-Important-Mudstuff so that I don't forget it.
Fimbu, you can teach me geography anytime.
Hehe, Anatharn :P
rhostobywater do 2sw,10w,nw,14w,9s,w,2s,7w,s,2sw,5w,3sw,7w,nw,w,nw,3n,40w,11w,3s,9wenter for future reference, newbie queen.
Hehehe...
Etoile knows how to get from the Osgiliath inn room to the MC council room in MT though. But only because I showed it to her like 10000 times :P I bet she already forgot it by now.
Damn, you can't fit all your friends on your friend list? I have the same problem with my enemies ;)
blargel blah
Gaahhhh, goodfernothin linebreak or whatever you call it.
Test.
Heh, aight. Point taken. ;)
Peace.
Azbakhar: That was my favorite part too. Check this out:
etoile1569: shit
etoile1569: he put me in the bree playground
etoile1569: now I need someone to get me out
etoile1569: because I can't find my way out of Bree.
Osse: well, get to the west gate, where the signpost is, then travelto adornas, then travelto edoras, then travelto minastirith
etoile1569: *grin*
Moreover- I couldn't fit everyone on my friends list. No hard feelings to the 'enemies!'
Glifur: yes, I've read the books. For me, though having a general knowledge of 'where it exists' in the books somehow doesn't help me find my way room by room. Not sure why- maybe having something to do with my 'inability to navigate spatial relationships'. And, travelto only helps from a signpost, as I'm sure you well aware- I was dropped at the newbieboard- you're overestimating my abilities; there are rooms in between signpost and newbieboard that I could have gotten lost in!
Boffo: you pretty much have the grasp of it. I didn't realize it until I went back to Smeg's yahoo messeges (he wasn't being very coherent at the time, most likely due to exhaustion) but essentially he thought it was amusing that I would ask (not having known me as long as some other players have, who would find this to be standard-Etoile-behavior) and decided to tell Melkor about it (He tells me this after I send him frantic messeges about being in Ainur prison) I don't think he thought any of the parties involved would take it seriously.
Smeg tells you: Sorry *blush*
Also, my friend Stella 'hit' on Osse 'back'- there was no violence involved! It was a purely pacifist mudparty, unless you count some of Ari's stories...
And well, it was a totally legitimate inquiry for Melkor to make. I just found it funny (after the initial terror of being in Ainur prison hit me, which was mainly after Osse arrived)- it seems those that know me thought so too (they laughed)
Hope this cleared things up!
I seriously doubt that Melkor was snooping either Etoile or Smeg... I think Smeg was highly suspicious and ratted her out.
Quite funny. When Osse says 'she hit back' -does that mean he got slapped?
Go to Erwin's map page! Many great maps there!!! oh, and don't offend former powers when they've had a bad day =P
What i really dislike is that Melkor found out about that she asked where Bree was in a tell.. Snooping. psha!
heh.. kinda funny thing going on here. I've had Etoile in a party and I've told her what travelto she had to use to meet me at the right place when we were about to kill something. She's totally useless when it comes to asking for help, not exactly the first person I would ask. But she kinda cool to talk to. Party up and join us for some exphunt, don't ask where we're going.
*chuckles*
Bahahaha, that's great. It looks like we're going to have to teach you a little basic geography to avoid any more... incidents.
Etoile was level 17 or 18 when she stopped playing. All this time later she returns and, well, what business does a level 17/18 have in Bywater? I certainly only visit there on rare occassions, but then I have never had a long break. So, as she levels up to 19 and 20, her resources are not in Bywater, so she has no need to know the place. Besides that, some people *never* get a sense of direction, never use a map, and rely on aliases they've picked up, and people partying them.
Just think back to the time when you yourself were new(really new), trying to navigate from Bywater to Bree was a challenge in itself. In my day, travelto did not exist.
But I can fully understand Melkor's concerns, and I would thank him for being concerned.
To me and those that know her well, Etoile saying that she doesn't know how to get to Bywater pretty much proves that she is Etoile ;)
Funny thing :P
I do understand Melkor here. Actually i find it very very hard to believe noone finds bywater who has been here for 40 days.
LOOK EVERYONE! even etoile can cause the ainur grief :P You go girl!
Damn sis, I love ya, but you can't get around anywhere. :P As SOMEONE told me once 'Someone tells you: I had to show her the way out of Bree from Ratty' and I can't count on hands and toes how many times I've heard you say 'I'm at (some sign) how do I get to (some sign)' LOL. just goes to show that friends can be helpful in more ways than one. Good that you didn't get nuked, but, can we say: Get some aliases? :P *hugs*
Oh my god? Didn't know where Bywater is? Haven't like read the books, watched the movies? Know about travelto? Looking at signposts?
*chuckles*
Anyone find it funny that she was placed at Bywater? *wet* My god, that was the BEST part! The second was that her friends were on her enemies list! But I was A listed! I'm special! Woo! :P
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Of course, I'm laughing *with* Etoile, not at her.
:p
You know, when Etoile told me about this, I was like... NAH Melkor is just playing around with you, he likes to toy with people.
And then she told me more details and I was all.. OHHHH so he's serious!
And then I tried to tell Melkor that I could vouch for her, but he didn't respond to me. Heh. I guess he just isn't in touch with the pulse of the social circles of Arda. There's like a million of us that could vouch for the fact that Etoile does not know her way around. I didn't believe it either at first, but... really she doesn't know how to get around!
But she doesn't need to know that stuff, that's what the rest of us are here for :)
