That idiot is back again, this time even worse than before. This is getting repetitive..... he even had the nerve to post in my information thread!

PS: his name is character, how imaginative..... but who needs to be imaginative when his/her entire life is devoted to ruining other people's lives?

EDIT: he's also posted in the news forum, fan art, role-playing, and I just know this guy is a nut who needs to be stored away........ forever!

bah just report him and move on. best not to humor him. without us flaming him, he will eventually get bored and leave. unless, of course, it is a bot of some sort, if that were even possible.

Well there are IM bots out there, so, although it is unlikely, it is entirely possible that he is a bot.

Hey everyone.... Been a very long time. Sorry for the long absence.

Unfortunately I experienced a hard drive crash and lost alot of well.. just about everything. That followed up by a sudden career move in order to care to be able to care for a relative. Everything is starting to settle down again into a new "usual". I considered re-installing Oblivion again and all those lost mods when I remembered to check back with everyone here. I am pleasantly surprised to see alot of the names here I still recognize.

Hope everyone has been well...

Welcome back Neela! It'll be good to see you around once again. I remember your character models that had a story to them, I found it to be really cool way to show it.

It's certainly nice to hear that things have settled down for you somewhat once again. Everyone needs a break every once and awile.

its settled. the coming of spring brings back old members, where as the cold of winter drives them away. i know it wasnt me. I havent done a "Summon [forum member]" chant in ages.

welcome back, neela.

Thanks guys

I will try to get the story rolling again, though, I have had to rebuild my poser database, so it maybe some time before I get up to speed with it again.

GROWL!

"Ahhhh!!!"

*Flees the Coffee Shop shouting and screaming in terror*

"The beast is back! The beast is back!"

*Rolls his eyes at the swinging door*

*Goes back to enjoying a glazed donut*

coward...........psychopath.........

*maniacal* DON'T RUN! DON'T RUN! *chases mallet with a crowbar*

*Looks back to find out that DoomedOne is chasing after him*

"Awww Damn!"

*Decided to swipe Revan's doughnut and throws it at DoomedOne, hoping that the food will provide a distraction long enough to get away*

"I'm too beautiful to be smashed by a crowbar!"

*Dodges a donut, then a crowbar before finally finding a free table.*

One glass of water, please.

Now to get back on track.

Planty, congratulations with your title (I'm sure you'll succeed.)

Neela, welcome back.

Bot or no bot, stay away. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the bot theory here. The message is always exactly the same and apparently chosen from a not too long list. Still annoying as hell though.

Speaking about annoying internet, I've discovered the problem of giving your email adress to a friend. I don't blame him, cause he probably suffers the same trouble I suffer from, only worse. (He's got like every single email adress from five overfilled classes worth of students at school while I have like five adresses in total. That's like twenty times as many openings for infiltration.)

It began two days ago, with me receiving a notice of winning the U.K. national lottery. Say what? I don't play in a lottery, I don't live in the U.K. and even if I did, my luck would surely keep me away from 250.000 bucks.

Six hours later, the next one came in. This one about a private banker who was the only one with knowledge about a bank account of a dead client. Claimed that I had the same surname and was willing to make an (illegal) deal of splitting the money 50-50 by simply appointing me as next of kin. Yeah, as if. First of all, like I'm going to just believe this piece of crap. You're the only one who knows about the bank account and are willing to illegally receive half of 30+ million bucks. If you were serious, you would just keep the whole lot for yourself. Then, I'm quite sure that no one with the same surname has ever been in the position for depositing 30 million bucks at a private bank. And finally, I'm 17.5 years old, go bother my dad instead or something! Would you let a child walk in and claim a big dose of money just like that? Not at all.

Yesterday was calm, nothing at all.

Today they returned. First came someone who claimed to have lung cancer which also affected her brains, heart, digestive system and in short, everything. Sure knew how to type for someone who claimed to have a malfunctioning brain. Wanted me to be in charge of her 15 million funds which would be spread to family members upon her death, minus my promised salary. Of course she needed a whole lot of information first.
Ok, a confident email to a complete stranger? An underage stranger? Someone who is legally not in the position for that kind of jobs and wouldn't want to either? And do you really think you can write this or even inform someone to write this with the medical condition you claim? Guess the brains really are busted.

Just half an hour ago came the last one. The same lottery nonsense again, with a changed date and the price upped to 300 million. Eh, a lottery giving out 300 million? The highest I've ever seen in real life went to 22 million, quite a difference. And you want me to give every information (age, name, gender, email adress, telephone blablabla) when you claim to already know? (Especially the email, they literally claimed to have made the selection on my email adress.)

And finally, all use a @yahoo email adress. Doesn't sound like the email system rich (albeit corrupt) bankers, national lotteries and such use.

It's quite amusing to read all that nonsense though it gets rather tiresome to delete them all the time. And I'm fearfully awaiting the day that they send more violent stuff. (virusses.)



Note: In case you wonder, yes I would refuse even if it was all real. I'm crazy like that. Or maybe I'm just lazy. Anyway, I refuse free money if it involves me going anywhere. I already did it with 500 euros from my grandmother which is quite a lot in my world. She needs it more than I do. Give me a legal job instead, thank you very much.

Welcome back Neela! I wondered where you´ve been......It´s so good to see you here again!

well I have one email address that I use on the internet for things that might actually require me to respond occasionally. I keep one email address completely private. For everything else that requires my email address, but who I feel don't need it. I give them junkmail@hotmail.com. I don't know who actually might own that email address. Hope its no one I know

Only very specific email get through my filters anyway. All the rest drops into the junk folder. I may lose an important message now and then but at least I don't have to read any of that stuff.


edit ** glad to see you too Minque! ***

Throughout all these coffee shops, I never told you people how much I detest coffee.
Hot chocolate anyone?

Hahaha....well sweetie I´ll have a cup if you can spare one! I like both....

Nice to see you again Wurlon!

Yea, I'm not a coffee fan myself. Not even tea either, though I think I would enjoy tea a bit more than coffee...


*nibbles on a strawberry danish*

*Annoyed picks up another glazed*

Anyway, welcome back Neela. Haven't seen that idiot since two days ago, so maybe he's gone for good (one can only hope). I happen not have any urge to try coffee or hot chocolate...... I don't even know if I've ever had hot chocolate......

How have you not had hot chocolate!?

Never had hot choclate? Isn't that in breach of international law, or something? I could've sworn it was...

Does any of you experience that the pm-function isn´t working?

*Police sirens audible in the background*

"Uh........"

*Looks between the door and Wolfie and Zealot*

"I'm going to lay low for awhile, then when all this blows over I WILL BE BACK!"

*Dissappears in a black cloud of colored smoke*

Argh! This cough is killing me! Of course, drinking outside in the cold probably doesn't help my situation but I wanted to see my friends!

And minque, I did notice that the PM is acting kinda weird, but I have been getting those messages you sent me. So they're working, but not like they usually do I guess.

Ahh I´m releived! Heh...drinking inside is far better..imo, At the moment I´m having a glass of red wine and I will make a big toast to our one and only....my moderator-colleague..BURNTSIERRA, who is getting older today....heh...

Hey, has anyone tried those new Tandoori Sizzler Doritos yet? Because they're actually not too bad if you don't mind a bit of spice to your chips. I think I like the sweet chili heat more, but this ain't half bad.

Never had hot chocolate, tea makes me sick and I can't stand the smell of coffee. Yeah, I'm a heretic. *jumps through the window, escaping the many donuts being thrown.*

Ouch, I should've remembered that glass shards are well, sharp.

Ahem, I've installed a filter but I don't know yet if it works. So far I've not received anything, except yet another lotto victory. That was before the installation.

*Appear out of thin air, and dissappear with Jack*

"Vamos, Hermano! Let's get out of here before the boys in blue show up........ or the men in black, they are much worse!"

hey yo, i got two questions about TES universe was wonderin someone could answer real quick. i would ask in older games or something but no one seems to go there very often, and i didnt see it necessary to start an entire new topic here...

k, firstly: about how old are the cities of cyrodiil at the time of the oblivion crisis?

and which landmass of tamriel is composed of desert? hammerfell? whicih ever it is, does anyone have a link describing the terrain there? or an accurate map?

I don't know the exact answer. The Imperial City dates back to the first era, which means it's very old. Other cities are likely a lot younger.

Hammerfell is partially desert though it has a green coast area. Elsweyr is part desert as well, I forgot if it was the south or the north part. Detailed maps are unavailable for as far as I know though I could make a few Fraps screenshots of the map used in Arena.

*Runs after Revan, while a copcar with blaring sirens comes into the street.*

I knew this was a bad day to sell my Cobra MK III!

Yeah, it pays to wear shoes when you jumping out a glass window. I don't think many people are calling you a heretic because it seems not drinking coffee or hot chocolate is fairly common here. However I drink coffee, tea and hot chocolate so thats why I building a pyre below you.



*gets dragged out by the men in white labcoats while screaming "No mental institution can hold me!!"*

*shakes his head ruefully*

So many zany antics from all the crazy people lately. Tis quite strange....

*takes a sip of his hot chocolate from the skull of a Dremora*

Mmmmm Tasty!

*text messages Mallet while running through a backalley*

Look who's talking, you were hysterical a few minutes ago, coward!

*Scoops up a a couple of silenced SMGs from a cluster of incompacitated FBI agents*

I love government weapons.......

(To ShogunSniper) Hammerfell's interior is mostly desert, as is the northern part of Elsweyr, I think.

Lots of posting since I've last checked in here... and zaniness.

I'm also a non coffee-drinker, if anyone's interested. And if anyone throws a donut at me I'll crush them, much like Numidium crushed the denizens of Summerset Isle back in the day.

Yeah, I've got giant god-robot skills like that.

i just recieved one, but i cant send one. instead it just takes forever to load a blank page when i click send...

To Shogun:
I've had a similar problem yesterday. After replying in the fanfiction section, it took ages to load the page. I thought I'd lost connection so I copied over the text and exited. Connection was still up, so I went back. My reply had been loaded without any problems.

I loaded up Arena and took a quick look. The map colours are wrong and Elsweyr isn't depicted right either. Dune, in the northern part of Elsweyr is located in a nice green forest.

To Canis: Numidium is nice, big and stuff but aren't you forgetting anything? The damn thing has been destroyed so your mad giant god-robot skills won't help much. Which reminds me, I've got a project collecting dust on my harddrive.


*Jumps over a few trashcans to escape the police.*

Hey, I said I could crush things like Numidium used to crush things. The analogy stands. So don't make me crush you.

Ah, you got me. I surrender, I surrender!

Say, is there a place where I can learn some giant god-robot skills myself?

Speaking about Numidium, I would love to see a picture of that thing. I have no idea what it actually looked like.

*runs through another alley and zaps some cops with stolen tazers*

And I have awesome ballistic weapons skills!

*kicks a tear gas granade back at the cop that threw it*

Yeah, I'm really enjoying this brief moment of freestyle antics. So don't tell me to stop!

Numidium probably looked something like Akulakhan, since they're based off of the same design.

Hmm. I've missed quite a bit I see.

To all those whom have defamed and denounced the Sacred Coffee....you shall feel a wrath swifter then a double-shot latte on a slow waking morning, and colder then a Frappucino on a hot summers day....with whipped cream!

**Applies trademark Black Gloves** (Cocks his dual silenced .45's)

DoomedOne, DoomedOne, DoomedOne. Why is it that every time I kill you.....you just wont stay dead??? (My assassiny way of saying welcome back!)

Neela...I remember your works from when I wrote godawful short stories to pass the time til Oblivion came out...nice stuff, and glad to see you back!

Minque....I wish I was there sipping a glass of wine with you.

Jack....Im gonna have start a 'Writerholics Anonymous" with you.

**Opens his Black Trenhcoat, revelaling an armory much like in GTA**

Shotgun, no..AK-47...maybe....Hand Grenades,....definitley....AH, Sniper Rifle!!

**Takes aim at fleeing Jack, then quickly scans at the pursuing cops**

Give me a ticket over crossing the street will ya? Where are you, when people like me are around?

**Opens Fire**

I think I need a Motivation Transfusion. That's it.

*fumbles around in pockets.*
Ah, I knew I hid it somewhere around here.
Beam me up, Scotty!
*A woosh, sparkles and I'm free from bullets, cops, and all that stuff. Now I just need to find out who the hell programmed Earl grey tea into my replicator.*

*Hoists a bunch of confiscated weapons from a cop car*

AK-47 (machine gun type, not the rifle), C-4, and Berret sniper rifle (featured in Future Weapons, Discovery Channel).

*Runs around on rooftops while avoiding the potshots the police snipers are taking*

I need to find the SWAT team, get their armor and shields....... maybe form a phalanx.

*deviates from the war scene briefly*

Well last night I just saw 300 and I have to say it was an excellent piece of eye candy, especially since we watched it on one of the digital projectors. I've never seen a picture that clear before! It was amazing.

If you really like Sin City, this a must see. If you don't mind some over-the-top violence and a few scenes of nudity, I suggest you check it out. The action scenes are definitely shot in a rather unique way. They make it look like it was all done in one shot, yet there are still camera distance changes. It's a really cool effect.

*takes one look at war scene and contemplates running with tail between legs*

I had the public defense of my Ph.D. thesis yesterday, and it went much better than I expected. I need to make some significant revisions to the written thesis, but once those are done, they will give me my degree. It's been a long six-and-a-half years, and I couldn't have done it without the wonderful people here. Thanks to all of those who (knowingly or unwittingly) have encouraged me over the years.

*realizes new degree confers invincibility and runs into gunfight fists blazing*

Fists blazing? Anyway, you're welcome (although I'm absolutely sure I had nothing to do with incouraging you). Congrats on your new status in society.

*Spots Dr. Plantinga beating up a bunch of mafia thugs*

why couldn't you have just said you were immortal.......

*Carelessly drops a grenade down a gutter, grenade rolls to a stop by the said thugs and docter*

YaYY!! Congrats Planty....or soon to be Dr planty! i´m thrilled! really i am! I can´t give you a present but I´ll update my story in 5 minutes .....just so you know!

*Uses gigantic, heavily armed Battlesuit to break up fight*
No fighting in or near the coffee shop folks. you're gonna have to take it at least a kilometre down the road. Or you can stop the bloodshed, that'll work too
