The gobblesnipe aura would be super sweet as well.. though a bit too thanksgiving. Kind of like those sweaters that have a picture of santa on them.. you look funny wearing one in February/April.

hey hey hey

turkeys don't mean thanksgiving, thanksgiving means turkeys.

Similarly, Christmas doesn't mean snow, and where I live, snow doesn't mean Christmas either. Snow means confused drivers and disappointed elementary school kids when we only get an inch.
... But Christmas does mean pine trees.

That being said I want to be able to turkey year round.

Being alive doesn't mean you

Being alive doesn't mean you celebrate Christmas.
Just like celebrating Christmas doesn't mean you're alive!

Or at least, it doesn't mean you're alive for long.

@Fangel

Explain why they only exist (as an animal, at least) within the context of Thanksgiving then-- kind of like how Santa Clause only exists within the context of Christmas.

Remember, don't shoot food.

We need Stranger Danger prizeboxes, which would teach us that if somebody is a stranger then that automatically means they are a heartless person who kidnaps people.

I wonder what other silly things you can replace the bullets with.

Actually, replacing the

Actually, replacing the Piercing bullet with the Tortofist crystal works really well. It somehow makes the Blitz more fun to use.
And from what I can gather, messing around with too many of the files at once crashes the game.

(this is unrelated, but do you think that if we got the training hall snipes, the ones with headbands and such, to run on modified generator treadmills...Could we create more power for the Lab? Or would that be considered animal cruelty?)

So Fangel mentioned before that the head-snipes are stationary and probably just sprites.. yet when I press tab to view my knight up close and personal, the head-snipe doesn't always face one direction. Is there any official word, on whether this is a bug or not? Because it makes the head-snipes far scarrier.. like they're gonna get you.

More words on that

In the ready room they just stare straight at the monitors as well, not shifting movements with the perch. This is only present in non-prismatic ones for some reason - from what I saw, prismatic perches have perfectly nice and healthy snipes moving around on top of it.

Sadness

DISCLAIMER: The vast majority of the following actually happened, including the part about NJthug

Scene 1, Act 1

*This scene takes place near the Haven AH, with knights and NPCs milling around aimlessly*

Professor-Ego: (saunters over to one of the AH strangers and nods)

Stranger 1: "Snipes, buy, sell?"

Professor-Ego: "I would like to peruse your fine stranger-themed wares if you please

Stranger 1: (bows and pulls out a box full of volcanic stranger robes)

Professor-Ego (shakes head in disgust) "Ew, those don't at all match my personal color!"

Stranger 1: (nods in understanding and pulls out a prismatic stranger robe

Professor-Ego: (looks at price tag) "5 crowns bid! Someone's really grasping at straws! (places bid for 7,500 cr with a satisfied smirk)

(A loud swoosh and the clinking of 50 crown pieces is heard from behind the pair)

Professor-Ego: (turns around and squeals in fanboy delight)

NJthug: (Turns to his EoS retinue) "Ok boys, you go check the AH while I stand here and silently mock people with my prismatic snipe aura."

EoS member 1: "Ok boss" (walks over to Professor-Ego and grabs the price tag of the robes) "Step aside O lowly Knight Elite"

Professor-Ego: (steps aside, gazing at the crowns covering almost every part of his costume, from the Volcanic Valkyrie wings to the Shock Max Shadow Ultra Vog cub coat)

Eos member 1: (scribbles something on the price tag and walks off)

Professor-Ego: (walks back over and gasps in astonishment) "HOLY MONOMI 800,000 crowns?! Darn you NJthuuuuuuuuggggg!"

Our Supreme Leader and Overlord of all Cradle King Tinkinzar III: (walks on stage, using his custom CDR Very High Warmaster Rocket Hammer as a cane) "And scene!"

I call fake on that scene. Nj doesn't use caps and no one would ever call him boss. Butt? Yes. Boss? Nooooo.

I will admit that the scene was slightly overdramatised, but I can confirm that Nj did in fact appear in Haven with a bunch of guildies, and it was most likely one of them that outbid me on the pris stranger robes :P

P.S. yes, I know I can't spell IGN's but you get the idea

Ah, eos.

They said I was a "bad fit" for their guild and refused me. I've never actually had a group of humans like.. actually accept or like me or.. any of that so I guess "bad fit" is kind of all I'll ever be XD. It still hurt though............. But learning to accept my lack of place and thrive is something that I am quite good at.

Also please, I've been trying to force pie onto random humans for like three months now and if you live near me you can have infinite pies because everything politely declines and I hate it. Pie is a serious burden.

Fine then Fangel, I'll bring Jempire back from playing RIFT and instruct them to throw pie at your face in my new pie-themed LD map... All is forgiven.

@Six-From-Syrup You cannot be accepted as a human being in this game because this game is divided into three groups of people 1. They hate you and seek to break you into little tiny pieces with a Rocket Hammer. 2. they are unaware of your existence/ are indifferent 3. They are a lore fanatic like me and will not accept you as a human being because this game doesn't have humans in it.

Ahha! I even have support from my lord and master... I mean sworn enemy, King T. so there

Hey

Hey look, Jempire can't just come back. Now, you could try to bring them back as a Jempier and it would be okay because pie, but Jempire has ties to Donald Trump and he doesn't bring us pie.
