Nah I like the new one, it's one of my favorite emotes and someone bought it for me and sent me a message saying "hey you're a great poster and should have a nicer avatar than a dumb redtext cause you're a cool person." It was really nice of them!

Also a portion of the XP you earn goes towards XP for the guild. The reason I keep talking about our guild xp?

Because some (okay probably just one or two) of these long-running guilds are elitist as gently caress and smug as gently caress and I and everyone else are chomping at the bit to reach 3.1 million guild exp (we're at 2.087 now) so that we can put ourselves at the bottom of the leaderboard because right now no one in-game knows how many of us there are or what level our guild is. The top guilds in the game make anywhere from 0 (if inactive) to 100k guild exp per day. Half the top-100 guilds don't have any active members. The biggest guild in the game bragged just this morning about having the most active members.

We make 60-100k xp/day and that number is only going to go up as our newbie players unlock higher-exp actions and more people join. We might even make more than that now. The 100k guild exp per day that the top guilds are doing? That's something like 1-10 high-level players. We don't have anyone who compares to that (sorry Xerol).

When that guy was smugly talking about how his 27 people represented the biggest guild in the game, we had 30 people online during North America work hours.

If you joined the guild and spent your entire time making GBS threads up the chat and only took things from storage and only did your own thing and never contributed to guild projects, you would still be contributing to our progress in this game and you would still be helping us harvest nerd tears.

To not discuss this in the chat again, specializing in one skill won't work to well with Carpentry, Smithing, Tailoring, Alchemy and Cooking.

I started Alchemy on Thursday after thinking for a while about it. I am 23 in gathering and 19 in mining. This means i can get sandstone for bottles/vials and get most of the other stuff by myself. I still took a shitload out of the guild storage to be able to make things. I don't think it would be fun for someone to do those low XP tasks all day just so i can be THE POTIONMAKER.

If i want to do alchemy, i have to supply a lot of stuff myself. And that goes for everything that needs resources. I'd even dare to say every skill i mentioned at the top is a secondary one!

the real question is can you be the potion seller

As a heads up to everyone, it is your solemn duty to screencap ATF tears when we pass them. I will be so, so unhappy if I'm not on when it happens and no one captures it for posterity.

I also misunderstood the situation wholly and had mixed up the botcheck timer (which Grumpy is fine with) with the smilies script (which he is not) and thought people were getting banned for using a script Grumpy had OKed, which is not the case.

As stated, I am bad and wrong.

Probably. Also I like your new avatar, even if it doesn't endlessly amuse me like the redtext title you used to have.

It was a good avatar. I miss it sometimes! I actually lost it because a poster in another thread changed it to nothing with just :perfect: as my title and sent me a PM saying "hey you're a nice person and deserve better than an ugly redtext so I got you something new!" It was the most :shobon: way to lose my redtext possible, so I'm okay with it.

We need to come up with a good guild name name that mocks The South obviously enough to make pubbies mad but subtly enough that Grumpy won't make us change it

Aside from that, there's a poo poo ton of crossover between populations of various games, and our reputation precedes us. For example, when goons first got into the now gone Age Of Wushu, one of the Vietnamese guild leaders there also had played Eve Online, and got his ship blown up by goons there. Since most pubbies simply know the collective of SA users as "The Goons", he assumed that we were the same people and decided to declare holy war on us, despite the fact that only like 2 or 3 of the goons that were around at the time even knew anything about Eve at all. In the end, it worked out incredibly well for us, as we got to learn a bunch of the game through fighting with them, and then we proceeded to have an almost illegal amount of fun getting better than them, beating them in wars, literally stealing their land and raping their handmaidens, and then gloating smugly about it from their former palace grounds.

God the wars with the Wushu Vietbloc (for everyone else, it was literally an alliance of guilds that were specifically for Vietnamese players that all wanted to kill us) were fun, I loved how much that game completely encouraged dishonorable, underhanded bullshit and how much it made pubbies mad.

I've only been muted once. You guys need to learn to tread the line not eat the troll bait. Be polite while mocking them gently caress. It's also way more funny when you seem completely cool and rational and they are flipping their poo poo. It's okay to be angry in guild chat at the same time, and can make screen caps even more funny.

Maybe next time we goad him into saying faggotism we should all chant we're here we're queer get used to it.
