Kingdom of Loathing

Oooh, Lizziebith- you have been sucked onto the Meat Vortex that is the KoL......Welcome!

I'm now on a mission for that damned Liver O' Steel.

Tonight was an excercise in frustration- kept getting my ass kicked by the King in Cobb's Nob, and by the prancing little G bats in the Friars challenge. Prissy little bastards.

Went on two vacations- seem like a waste of time and meat, but I'll do the last one tomorrow. South of the Border is pretty funny, and I got a couple of bottles of tequila! (Which I promptly turned into margarita's and drank). I also accidently made a Plague Cure, so if anyone is wanting to try it, I'll give it to the first person who asks. I'm not coughing yet, but it's not for lack of exposure.

[tracilicious]

I'll take it if you've still got it. How'd you make it? I had to take a potion of temporary greatness to beat the king of cobb's knob. Now the cyrpt ghosts are killing me.

I got some sort of cat tail- I think it was either in the South of the Border or the Friars challenge. Anyway, I went to Doc's to buy a restorative after one of those prissy bats kicked my ass, and he offered to mix me up something with the cat tail thingy. (Sorry I'm so concise- just woke up). I'll send it right away!

(Thanks for the tip on the King- I'll get the bastard tonight).

You can find a questionable taco south of the border. Eating the questionable taco gives you the lovecat tail. (lovecat? cure? har.) When you visit the doc with the lovecat tail in your inventory, he will ask you if you want a cure.

NOTE: last night someone was saying that you can not reinfect through chat -- that reinfection was only possible by taking something from the clan stash or by using an infected blanket. I took the cure, entered chat, and after a bit started coughing again. No stash raid, no blanket. Just an FYI.

Perhaps the clan should make sure every member has a cure and then takes it before chatting? I dunno. I have one QT and will try to get more tomorrow.

Oh - other random thoughts -- re: quotas -- I figure we're all big boys and girls, why bother with quotas? If I take an ingredient I need from the stash, I try to replace it with something I've got an abundance of. I'm sure the rest of you do the same.

re: admin/fighting other clans -- when the day comes that we are badass and want to show other clans that they are SoL, I suggest that a number of people be made admin or otherwise given status to purchase the fighting goods. Otherwise we'll be limited in responding to times GD and tracilicious are on.

I read that the Cure was only temporary, so perhaps it's eventual intention will be to get you through the challenge that will provide the True Cure.

This whole Cure thing is giving me bad high school flashbacks.

[Ghoulish Delight]

So here's what I think we need to do. Collect enough of the cure for everyone. Don't take it yet. Distribute it to everyone, take the cure, and send a message to someone (Traci? Prudence? I'll be out of town). Then don't go back into chat. Once that person gets a message from everyone, they'll sound the all clear (i.e., send everyone a message) and we can start chatting again. Just don't go into newbie after that! If you do this while I'm gone, don't wait for me, just send me a message to me reminding me to take the cure before entering chat.

Annoying, but it should rid us of the scurge.

I agree about quotas. I check the activity log pretty regularly (because I'm bored, mostly) and everyone puts in way more than they take out. I think as long as we keep it to people we know only, then it won't become a problem.

As far as defenses go, you buy the stuff to defend and it takes care of itself. Sort of like PvP fighting. Someone has to do the attacking, but I'm not sure what the point is. We don't actually get anything from winning (other than rank). We won't get attacked until we have goody bags, the only purpose of those is for fighting. Can't everyone buy the war goods now? Have you gone to the war room?

So what IS the plague cure then? (Luckily I haven't gotten the plague yet)
