Thought I’d let everyone know that as head GM of the GOGu, I have brought on a “sidekick”, no it isn’t Hoikas (yet), it’s BAD. 😛 And this is what he said over at the GOGu:
It is an honor yes, but also a duty. No, not in your pants.
This duty is to make sure everone understands who is in charge around here. Simple answer: I am.
Yes yes, I know, you all are asking yourselves, is this guy saying he is above the Overlord?! Is he crazy!? She shoots lazers out of her eyes! I’ve seen it!
No no no. I am not “above” the Ovelord. I am more of on her right side. Where I belong. Sure we can try to compare and contrast our powers, but we both know we would be pretty closely matched. I won’t say who would be the ultimate winner in the fight, but lets just say that there would be little left of the Earth after it, and if there is anything we hate more than veloure track suits, it’s the lack of subjects to grovel before us.
So we won’t be sparing off as long as there are plenty of slaves and servants to subjugate.
So anyway, I want to thank the Overlord in her infinite wisdom to join our forces. Together we will rule the world, and any other place we find in space.

Yet another reason why I wouldn’t use that piece of crap.

Someone made a very good post over at the MOUL forum that I thought I’d share.
To the people who want “Cyan in control”, that’s a bad idea. I mean, then Uru could be taken away again.
To the people who want the guilds in control… do you remember what happened last time they were in control of D’ni? Let me summarize…
EVERYONE DIED.
My lesson today was, there is good IC, and then there is IC that we ignore for our own personal goals such as running the guilds and telling people how to play with their toys.
I find this to be good information, as I am the head honcho of the Guild Of Guilds. Which is why I can sympathize with people like Alahmhat who want to run their own kingdom. Except as leader of the GOGU, I AM entitled to running everyone’s “kingdom”. All these people made their guilds and are getting whatever they want, therefore I see no problem with telling any of the guilds to report to me on all their activity, give me membership clothing to each group, all chatlogs of their own special meetings, you know… So I can print it out when I run out of toilet paper that I keep at my desk (so I can wipe my face after reading the MOUL forum) and all the other guild things that I should know.
I am the overlord of this community (sorry peeps but I called it), so I should be treated like one by ALL social groups. 😛
>Will wonders ever cease?
Ladies and gentlemen, news has been made.
Man, this really made my day.
Meanwhile, there are people who still want the guilds to remain in control, even though this is OPEN SOURCED. But I guess when you have butt cheeks as ear warmers, it’s really hard to hear little details.
And now we arrive to my favorite part of the post. The part where I do comment commentary!
All I want to know is, will there be a way for Cyan to tell THEIR Uru story? Uru is more than servers and source code.
They’ve tried and failed 3 times.
And then Eleri came back and said:
This is innacurate. Cyan has yet to fail with Uru. The failures have been with Ubisoft, for not taking the game out of beta; GameTap, for not having a clear understanding of the marketing needs for promoting a game like Uru; and the economy, for taking a turn that caused the revenue for MORE to dry up. None of those factors have been in their control, and they’ve had to struggle under the constraints and limitations. Sometimes they stumble and fall, but they, at the least, have always tried, even when their support system has come crashing down.
Exactly. The failure is on the shoulders of everyone else. Just as Adam comes back and points out:
So, let’s blame Ubisoft for making a rational decision–they saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship before they lost money. Let’s also blame GameTap who promoted Uru like no tomorrow! They gave it a chance, saw it wouldn’t work and bailed–like any sensible person would. You completely missed the third failure. Cyan closed UU, the most long-lived publicly available Uru online experience. Cyan is the only constant in these failures, so where should I lay my blame?
I think your statements are the inaccurate ones.
Sure, GameTap promoted Uru for over a year, but that’s not good enough! When they gave it up after a year, they became AntiCyantologysts. And I refuse to deal with anyone who thinks on a plain of reality. it’s too realistic, there’s too much fact and not enough gut. And that’s what I go by.
Well, looks like I’ll have to do something else rather than tell people how to play the game since now it’s open source. Keep an eye out for the GOGU to making it’s debut. 😉

I knew that if I kept my tin foil hat on long enough news would be generated to the rest of the community! The pattern in my bowl of cheerios foretold that Chogon would walk forth and deliver the next installment to the great Cyan Prophecy! |
>The new face challenge!
Hello, this is your overlord speaking.
Quite a few of you read my blog (I hope) I am Uru and so can you. And those of you who frequent my blog know what my profile picture looks like:
It’s high time that I go for something new. But being the slackerish overlord that I am, I decided that I want to hold a contest in my own honor!
This is open to anyone. All you need to do is find a picture of me, and photoshop a face over it. That’s it, and then submit it to me on either my blog or at the Slackers Forum. The winner gets to see their winning picture of me being used on my blog.
The contest ends January 1st 12:00am PST. Good luck!
>A thought on the “Is It MORE yet???” thread.
You know… I read awhile back that POTS shards have been running to this day, and that those were the only shards that were given Cyan’s ok after UU was shut down. If all the pictures Vid has been posting turns out to be from some sort of POTS shard, I am going to laugh at the asshats who are having heart attacks over this whole thing.
And in case you’re reading this, I have something that will help you get from thread to thread on the MOUL forum:
