The Mind Of OverlordTomala

>Hai again

Well here we are. I am back from work full of ire and tuna bake.

Yes! You guessed it, my first (full) installment of my blogginshins.

First of all. I love coffee. I know, this is a revelation. I also really love tuna bake. Especially when it has those crunchy onions on top…….mmmm….mmmmm.

Unlike other blogs, I intend to push the limits of blogging. I intend of showing you me, naked and unblocked by trivial blather. So lets do it!

Tuna bake is good! Seriously, try some. Get yourself some of that tuna helper and make it. DON’T forget the crispy onions!! You’ll be sorry.

I drink a lot of coffee. I mean at least 6 cups a day. Maybe I should cut back? Nah….

Ever notice that some people have large foreheads? Some people it looks like they have almost no forehead at all! What is up with that?

Bottle caps. Think about it.

Here’s a great story…..

There once was a princess in a far of city called Beverley Hills. Her name was Pamela Anderson. She was originally from a barren frozen wasteland called Canada. She was the most beautiful princess to ever schlep for a crappy beer company and this launched her to super stardom.

Well, OK it got her a part in an exploitive show about sexy people in skin tight bathing suits. This was OK cause she got to work with David Hasselhoff. Who, when standing next to her, made her look even more gorgeous.

Eventually she met a prince named Tommy Lee. He was the most courageous prince in all the land. He played the drums for a band that wore girls makeup.

He gave her hepatitis. The end.

I know, really good stuff. It’s gonna be in my book of children’s stories. Don’t worry they are not all as doom and gloomy as that one. Some are much darker. Kids love that stuff!!

Anyway, I think I mentioned I like tuna bake earlier, but I think it bears another go. Tuna bake is good.

Well the alcohol is now fighting the caffeine. Time to relax and unwind. I hope you enjoyed this little interlude. 🙂

>A thought and an act.

We the Uru purists should be in charge of this new Uru. But we face a problem.

It’s clear that when we’re this outnumbered by impure people who want to make nonsense, run around in colored skin or as upside down flying bahro, we have to rule the non purists through intimidation. That’s why the single most important thing we can do as cavern purists is dominate all the shards. Need MORE proof?

“Let us join together and to rule over content upon sea and sky from hard disk to hard disk”- Joe The Greeter 4002.

I’d say that about covers it. Because if we don’t dominate the non purists, you’d better believe they will be dominating us!!! Imagine if you will, someone making a YouTube video from this idea.

“As the shards churn” – By Overlord Tomala.

One liner: What if the haxxors won and we surrendered to our “fellow” community members?

Tag line: “It’s just like MOUL! Only at our fingertips!!!”

Where: Any shard you want to go to

When: The near future! All hail the shard owners once again! All having the ability to do as they did 3 years ago, only now them and their team of haxx0rs have source code at their fingertips. Their first project is to engineer purple laser guided loaves of French bread to defend themselves from the flying lima bean infestation.

Our heroine (the overlord, who in this story, plays an ordinary equal), has linked to eder kemo on one of the shards, only to find that someone turned the brain trees into singing jellyfish, the puffer plants into giant bongs, and the pond water into lime jello. Fearing for her life she links to Ae’Gura, only to find King Kong and a T Rex knocked it over in a fight over in a verbal fight to see who is more right than the other.

Some shards are giving lessons in D’ni, but only one shard is giving lessons in Sheepish.

When all hope seems to be lost, Tomala teams up with the last surviving leaders from the last reign of power. And they create the meter room shard.

The end?

If thoughts like that don’t scare you, then you need to think less.

>This weeks co author:

On Sunday morning, BAD will be the co author of the week. I didn’t pick him because he is one of those slackers. I picked him because he’s one hell of a leader. He’s so good at ruling over the GOW that you can hardly tell he’s doing anything! You’d think he is some sort of plain ordinary member or something…

I came upon this choice when using the dart board of destiny, and the dart landed on BAD’s ass.

>Such tragic times we live in.

http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16863

Does anyone here wish that (I know that Cyan can’t support it at the moment) Uru were going to be Cyan created instead of fan run? I know I do…

Oh God Rand yes! Mainly because I want an official leader to tell me what to do, what to think, and what order I should play the ages in (I hear if you play the ages backwards, you become a Satan worshiper Slackers member).

I feel common ground for those of us who are afraid to think for ourselves. Which is why I’m torn that Cyan would give the fan community it’s own control. Granted, it is nice to think we will see each other again. But that security blanket Cyan gave us back in prologue and MOUL will not exist anymore. It is just tragic.

I’d rather sit in my room staring at myself sitting on the bench in Eder Kemo alone, than be with individuals in an Open Source community. But being the overlord that I am, I’ll join this new community and try to take control for myself. Once I take part in a shard or 12, I’ll have everyones attention. And when I do, I’ll explain at that time why this freedom sucketh so much.

>Profiles In Asshattary.

Today history was made. DorK started a conversation, then he ended it (with the help of veralun).

This is not yours to decide unless you start up your own shard or become part of the administration of a shard.

DorK:
Sorry what?! I was planning to be running shards, writing shards, and playing the shards. Come heaven and high water I was here to make as many contributions as I could to Uru

Yes, we’ve seen your contributions. It usually involves you pulling your pants down, squatting and grunting real loud. Then dropping your contribution on the community. Followed by you smiling smugly, pulling up your pants and walking away without wiping.

Whilyam wrote:

This community will develop based on what the community likes in general. This sort of passive-aggressive bullying will not change that and will in fact hurt the form of Uru you and I enjoy the most. So I’ll say it frankly: Enough. Stop acting like your opinion is the only one that matters.

DorK:

My opinion does matter though, and to me it is my only opinion, and I now take this stance because everyone else around here does, why should I be any different?

Shorter DorK: Opinions like mine aren’t being heard loudly enough, so here I am with my Air raid siren! Now our message will be heard!

DorK:

My only difference is that I state what I mean, instead of writing long essays that don’t actually mean anything, I am sick to death of reading mountains of drivel on a topic, when 3 lines would have done it

I could condense the last few posts down to a few lines saying why that person doesn’t agree with the OP

3 sentences instead of a long post? I think I can give it a try.

Short and sweet

1: I see your fingers are brown.

2: Your keyboard is brown, but it shouldn’t be.

3: I’ve come to the conclusion that you are overflowing with crap to the point of it spilling on the floor.

That was the short part, now for the sweet part:

DorK:

Anyway back to the point, I was stating … if we turn this game into second life, I might have as well gone and played second life.

Shorter DorK: I can haz Second Life?


DorK:

I believed that all I did was state fact, and make a request. If people can’t see that I posted, perhaps we should take the internet away from them from fear of them injuring themselves?!

So, how come you still have an internet connection?

Whilyam wrote:

While there are parts of Second Life,etc. I do not like, their implementation will be based on how popular that implementation is and not my preferences.

DorK:

Erm … soooo ?! What exactly are you saying here?

There are parts to Second Life you don’t like? You then seem to jump somewhere else about implementation will be based on how popular implementation is and that it’s not your preferences?

Eh!?

I read what Whil says, and I can understand it loud and clear. I read what DorK said, then suddenly I smelled something burning. It turns out my head spontaneously combusted. I had to dunk my head into the sink to make the pain stop. English DorK, do you speak it?

Whilyam wrote:

I know there are many people who like a wide variety of things about Uru and your post hurts that

DorK:

Erm no it supports Uru. If I play music from Uru loudly, and you play music from second life louder what is going to be noticed more, Uru’s music or Second Life’s?

Lets see, right now I’m standing between Whil and DorK. On one side I’m hearing all kinds of good music, rock n roll, jazz, pop, rap, he’s got a bunch of music to include everyone. On DorK’s side I’m hearing Lunatic Fringe.

Whilyam wrote:

So I say to those who are rightfully-offended by DarK’s post: Ignore it.

DorK:

Please do … I rather be ignored and shown to be right, than paid attention to and be proven wrong.

Actually, there is nothing I can do to this line that DorK has done to it already.

Whilyam wrote:

The version of Uru you settle in can and likely will be whatever you want.

DorK:

But then you won’t be playing Uru. I head into “Your My Uru” and ask to explore an age, the reply I get would probably along the lines of “Age what’s that, but hey you can decorate things in your home grid, try out this colour on your garage! Or if you move the sofa in front of the house, you get a free banjo”

You might be a British redneck if…

Whilyam wrote:

Please consider your idea/suggestion etc in relation to the fact that you are a human being and that you have as much a right to be here as anyone else.

DorK:

And please consider that I have as much right to state facts and request that people don’t walk on my lawn as well.

Here’s a fun fact. DorK has his head up somewhere, here’s a hint. It has nothing to do with the clouds. I can state facts too!

Whilyam wrote:

Uru does need many of the features/ideas from your suggestions.

DorK:

What suggestions?! That uru doesn’t need things for second life; please make your mind up.

I have a suggestion, how about all the people who think the way you do get your own shard. Everyone needs their own place, and you deserve your own (for everyones piece of mind).

Whilyam wrote:

If you are going to be suggesting we add a feature from other games, please stay here and debate the idea, and the feature you will be suggesting might become a feature of this game.

DorK:

All I want is a control procedure, some community officially stamped “cyan style” content, where I don’t have to shell out, collect items, or be in a special clique of friends to get access. And at 6 pm I want pizza served to me, at 7:30 I want my diaper changed, at 9 pm I want my nightly laxative dose. Then at 11 pm I want someone to come in and read me a bedtime story (Ernist goes to camp), give me warm milk and sprinkle talcum powder on me bum. At 7 am I want oatmeal, served to me via a spoon or a funnel. And at noon I had better see a fully stocked shelf of vasaline and cheetos in my bedroom.
I don’t want much here but to retain Uru and carefully add to it in a respected fashion

Improved.

Whilyam wrote:

Now is not the time to be alienating people, DarK. Now is the time to understand that people have different ways of enjoying Uru.

DorK:

No the time now is to stop walking around on egg shells, put all the cards on the table and be counted. Uru is full of non-committed people who are always willing to add a suggestion or twenty, and then complain about it when it doesn’t happen; many people seem to enjoy that somehow?

You seem to.

Whilyam wrote:

But not if you drive them away. You will kill Uru through your intolerance.

DorK:

I will kill my Uru experience though my own actions and take as many people with me as I can thanks very much.

Ohhhh so you’re a suicide coder. We do not submit to terrorists.

DorK:

To be honest, it’s really getting to the stage where I can’t be bothered any more. I am guessing I will have to see a vast improvement in co-operation, the ability for people to communicate things correctly and for a lot of people to get their heads out of their backsides to understand that they are not the only people in the world and that it doesn’t revolve around them.

Pfft another 30 minutes wasted…

First, you’re just jealous because you thought you were the one and only guy that had his head in his backside. Second, you can count? Wow! And tell time? There might be hope for you yet!

Today you accomplished something. You helped get your own thread locked. And that’s something.

>Postcard from DorK

Some of you may remember that I started the DorK diaries awhile back. Sadly around that time DorK went away. I often worried about him, however… Today I got a postcard from him. Apparently he decided to take a trip to the continent to visit some old friends.

I kinda miss having him around the blog… He was fun entertainment. Speak of the devil, did anyone see this?

Uru is NOT Second Life or There or any number of other alternate reality reality games … (you heard me!)

Please consider your idea/suggestion etc in relation to these types of games before posting.

Uru does not need many of the features/ideas from these games.

If you are going to be suggesting we add a feature from these games, please go play Second life or There, as the feature you will be suggesting is a core feature of that game.

Second Life || There != Uru

This has been a public service announcement for the sake of sanity!

He represents sanity? We’re boned…

You know, he could think of it in a more positive light. He could build that goat pen age he always wanted!!!

Just kidding. The British like sheep. You can tell because he hangs around the MOUL forum. Wink
