Hang Out and Post

[_jade]

I wish I had luck with FFQs. I see some people getting them twice a year and I've only gotten one the entire 7 years I've played! -.-

[Duma]

I consider that still lucky Jade. I am still waiting for my first one on my 12 year old account. I haven't been on every day in those 12 years, but never stayed away for more then a month. I have been online and busy every day for the last 6 years but still none. I heard that younger accounts get more random events, so maybe that's why. I wasn't allowed to get online much when I started playing.

641 mm of rain in 3 days. X_X

We just cleaned up...so I wasn't online much the past 3 days.

And the rain was just from a monsoon.

[Duma]

I hope you won't get any more rain now for a few months.

That's just so much rain, is it normal for a monsoon? Or is it a lot for around there at this time too?

[Rune Valentine]

It's fairly normal here during monsoon season ;)

 

The problem with the weather here is that typhoon season and monsoon season hit around the same time, so even the tail-end of a typhoon 200miles off coast will get dragged into land by the monsoon. So basically most of the country was hit by a typhoon fueled by the monsoon rains, meaning it rained endlessly for 3 days, causing most major cities to be flooded with an avg of 4-7ft of water, since a few rivers run through and tend to overflow during the pounding of the monsoon.

[Duma]

Yeah, I don't think many rivers could swallow such an extra amount of water. Even if it rains endlessly for a whole week here, there won't be so much mm's of water. The "floods" here are nothing compared to it.

I hope you and your families are all okay.

Thanks for explaining everything!

Our flood was 3.4 ft (+/- 0.2 ft) with my best estimate at street level.

 

I wonder why TNT made Lambert so hard?

[Wildbreeze]

My mom surprised me by taking me to Disneyland yesterday for my birthday. :D It was an absolutely fantastic day.

[Duma]

That's great news. So you did get the present you wanted. I'm happy for you. You have a great mom.

Happy birthday from me too! :party:

[cup_of_chai_tea]

I can't stop watching this, its just soo funny :P

 

[Duskitty]

Hahaha that's awesome! xD I don't watch either of those shows but "Dash Ketchum" cracked me up.

 

Wildbreeze, that sounds fantastic! Happy late birthday! :D

[Relevance]

I can't stop watching this, its just soo funny :P

 

 

LOL! That's fantastic. What was that other one I saw... Epic Pie Time? I think that was it. It got a couple of chuckles out of me but I think this beats it xD

[-Ryan]

what on earth just happened to my fantastic member status

[Duma]

You just got a pink one. It's funny. Duski has a blue one for Staff. :p

[Duskitty]

So do Moderators, Site Elders and Founders. (Only one founder here, so just the glorious Ian who gets his very own Founder button. :3)

[Duma]

I see mods have a green one, but not all super members seem to have one already. (Wildbreeze, Naamah, rr1 and some others are super members too and don't have one yet.)

[Duskitty]

Hmm. Perhaps super members don't get a fancy button? :(

[Duma]

Founder/Management (Ian) has yellow. Fantastic has pink, staff blue, mods green and site elders have purple. Supers members will have to grow to Fantastic I guess.

[Wildbreeze]

And what's with all the pineapples? Or in Duski's case, pineapple cupcakes?

[Duma]

It's a secret. That's what I heard. Staff stuff.

[Duskitty]

Yep. Top secret. Staff stuff ;) Should be released to the public soon, hopefully. :)

[Rune Valentine]

I need a new signature/set. :( My fancy new green Mod button totally clashes with my pretty purple set. Boohoo!

[Spritzie]

That was my first thought, except I thought more of the red mod name instead of signature set. Green and red aren't exactly the best combo sometimes.

[Rune Valentine]

Haha, yes well that too! Just something not working with all the colours. Time to dig around or make a new one, I suppose.

 

But the pineapple works. The pineapple works with everything.

[Duma]

It's a bit strange that you guys didn't had a say in the colors.
