M O O P ! ! ! !

The war with DomiNovaRaged continues!

I have a clanmate called Tonester, he's one of our resident Spartans (i.e. "crazy Greek"). He's always pulling people's chains and instigating and he gives me crap all the time about my uber-low pvp score. It's all in fun and he doesn't say any of it maliciously, if you know him or heard him on vent it's completely innocuous and just funny like 90% of the time.

Mr. Tone-star is also one of the heroes that likes to try to call the warring parties out to fight whenever he can...and in an effort to try and goad them on, he plants himself in front of their clanhall.

I've kind of for the most part been enjoying this war with DomiNovaRaged, because Nova so far tends to fight with very little trashtalking. They put up a good fight and they take their wins and losses with dignity (I speak in general terms, there are always going to be a few people who just love to talk shit no matter what). At least that's my opinion, and...apparently they're comedians ><

Even though I don't participate in many of the fights (because I'm just plain BAD at PvP so I don't want to take the place of a better archer or BD in alot of the fights if I don't have to...), I always download the fraps (alot of them get posted only on our internal forums unfortunately) or hear about them in vent/hero chat.

Anyhow...that's all for now, new event starting today! woohoo!! More accessories/headgear! It's so lame that they're all like "shadow hats" and stuff...that kinda sucks... but I suppose that'll have to hold us over until CT1!

I placed second in the comic contest!

A few months back I posted a small 3 panel comic about Sopel on this blog. Subsequently NCSoft decided to have a comic contest, so I submitted the aforementioned comic. Apparently 60% craft failures are something that people can relate to on all servers. I wasn't sure if the humor of our particular Sopel would be received as well or as humorous by the general L2 population, but luckily either there were VERY few submissions or they found mine worthy enough to award a prize :)

In either case, I am really looking forward to the receipt of the second edition of the Lineage Ark art book (I purchased the first edition from some online dealer about a year ago...afaik I haven't been able to find the second one yet for purchase anywhere so I am looking forward the to the receipt of this item with great anticipation).

You can view my submission as well as the other winning submissions here

...That's about it for now. Sorry there isn't more to post at the moment, I feel like things have been slowing down a bit in L2...but that's how it is for me right before every chronicle update. Posts will most likely be sparse for a bit...

On some non-L2 stuff... My wife and I are both cat people, she's always had cats pretty much her entire life and I've had them for a number of years as well, so every now and then our friends pass stories on to us about cat related stuff they think we would find interesting.

Recently, a company has genetically engineered these new hypo-allergenic cats (you've probably heard that story already). Now, they also seem to have engineered another breed that they call an Ashera, it's a $22,000 domestic housecat that can grow up to about 30 lbs.! Supposedly has a great temperment and gets along with other cats, children, etc.

They look awesome...but...22k for a cat...way out of my league, but they look awesome..Pics can be seen here
