Blogroll Insanity *bzzpt* maintenance message *bzzpt*

So, my blogroll broke. There were so many dead and inactive links on it, and it had grown so big that it just . . . broke. I couldn't add any new blogs to my list.

I spent a good portion of the night tonight sorting, organizing, and clearing up dead links. If I've happened to remove you accidentally or I haven't got you on my list, please let me know, and I'll make things right again. :) If you haven't posted in a couple months, your blog was moved to the archive list. I'll keep an eye on this and move you to the active list if you post again.

Hopefully this will make things run a little more smoothly on the blog as well.

Thanks!

oops!

I've gone back and corrected that last post about Enchanted Treasure Cards. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

It would take too long and be too convoluted a discussion to even begin to explain why I thought you couldn't make treasure cards with tough and keen eyes anymore. Basically it had to do with the juxtaposition of a sassy stranger on Unicorn Way, an old mouse that was fond of double clicking, and me forgetting you can't apply tough cards to life draining spells.

I should have probably not even woke up today

*sigh*

Ok, so let's start with a sad tale of Friendly's Huge Day of Misunderstanding.

FHDOM . . . emphasis on "dom," 'cause today I think you all lost braincells by reading my blog, and I am just dumb.

1- So, early this morning around 4:30 am I had this note on my computer from my wife that said, "Look what day it is!" In my half groggy state, I looked at the calendar and it said 8 April. So I'm thinking, "What the heck does 8 April have to do with the price of rice in China?" I use some creativity and I see that April is the fourth month and I'm thinking . . . ok . . . 4/8 . . . like 48! OHHHHH! My wife wants me to brag about her being level 48 on the day 4/8! So I make a post about it; you know . . . gotta do what the boss says. This was wrong.

What she was trying to tell me was that on the screen that she had left up, there was a weird patcher message. The patcher message was saying that Wizard101.com would be closed due to maintenance from 3am to 4am and you'd be able to be in game but not access crowns . . . etc. . . . and that this would happen on "December 3rd, 2009." SOOOOO, she wanted me to notice that perhaps Kingsisle had cut and paste an old message and forgot to replace the date. LOL! She didn't want me to even blog about it. She just wanted me to see it.

After I leave for work, she takes down the message because, well, friendly didn't get it. Me dumb. Of course, people have already commented on that message and she didn't know that.

Me dumb.

2- I farmed War Oni this morning alright. I farmed him and I used the second chance chest twice on every character even to get this elusive Firewing pet, and I DID in fact get the Firewing pet on Bailey.

I immediately went into Bailey's backpack and found two firewings; however, what I didn't know is that Amber had been bazaar sniping the other day and bought Bailey another firewing when she already had one. What I also didn't know is that Bailey's backpack was full and overflowing into the bank.

So I come on here thinking I'm all that and telling people that WAR ONI NO DROPPY CARD PET WHAT THE HECK!!!!

me dumb.

To make matters worse, I don't stop there, I e-mail greyrose and BARK and BARK and BARK about how something was wrong. Somehow I think I confused her in the process and she comes back with an e-mail stating this:

"There are two firewings in the game - one with a card and one without.

The one without a card drops from War Oni.

The one with a card drops from Ember Everburn.

Hope that helps."

So NOW I think I have ammunition, right?

Somehow I created the perfect storm of dumbness. I'm even confusing Greyrose at this point. I even confuse the master of pets and he changes the pet list at Central. MY WORD!

SO IN CONCLUSION AND IN SUMMARY . . . me dumb. And YES the Master of Pets was absolutely correct.

War Oni drops pet with card. Everburn drops pet with no card.

. . .

Can I please have a re-do on this day? Please? Only this time I don't have to go to work, I don't confuse everyone and their glitch dog, and I also get fed grapes while I sit under a nice palm fan? Please?

. . .

I think I'm just going to go over here in the corner and twitch for a while.

Thanks.

Happy Dueling.
