Eh, Chicago can have as many crooked politicians as they want, but they can't have crooked dice peddlers! PoT is nailing the creep to the wall this time.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T11:18:28-04:00
So a doctor friend of mine may be getting the "opportunity" to take a job position in the east-central end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I told him "say goodbye to your life choices" if you move there.
C.F. "The Ex-President" Heyns 2015-05-05T11:51:57-04:00
Evening all. I see the dice wars are in full swing. Let justice prevail!
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T13:55:03-04:00
New post up on the dice KS. Hat tip to Geist for the epic set up.
I REALLY don't think he likes the route PoT turned him down... lol. Radio silence, when he usually has at least ONE [witty comeback]. I LOVE just how quickly Geist immediately picked it up and ran off with it too.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T14:29:59-04:00
@Geist. I hope you read this. If we ever meet IRL I owe you a drink of your choice. That was perfect.
PoT is also a REALLY good actor apparently.... If I didn't know better I would totally fall for the college-fratboy-bro-fest thing he's selling over there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:35:19-04:00
Tell him to bring Cleopatra to the video shoot. I wonder if he'd even get the joke.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:36:31-04:00
I was going to up the ante and say that if I win, you have to help me steal away Rowena. No point keeping GCoD out of the fun even if he isn't posting anymore.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:38:06-04:00
Also, unless he's a mouse, he could pay any random friend in illinois to go there and make a video because we have no previous example of what he looks like except a priest in eastern europe. That's a major fault I wouldn't hesitate to exploit. Then tell your buddy a free drink is waiting if he does it as well.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:38:11-04:00
@Jeff: I live near Washington, D.C. I have no idea what cities or parks are in Illinois. You bring up a good point though. Why don't you post what you just wrote here and see what "Mark" says?
@Jeff: His profile also says [Chicago, IL]. We are certainly not saying he is intelligent, or consistent.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:39:14-04:00
*le gasp!* A g-g-g-g-g-GEIST! Good to see ya coming back to your roots. Well, the deepest ones anyways. It's been like 2 months since you commented here.
Huzzah! Great to see you Geist! How've you been? Also, I live way up in Philadelphia if you ever want to claim that pro-offered Drink.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:41:52-04:00
Also, if this in any way could actually affect him as a creator (not likely for a starting person nobody would look into) he (as a scammer) can just change profiles again and wouldn't think twice about it. Hell, he may have several projects we haven't found and maybe even made some money. Well, then again, he's dumb enough to stick to dice. And when we find him transform them into heretical crosses.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T14:43:28-04:00
Actually it is quite common for those of us in the suburbs to list Chicago as a generic location, there are SO MANY suburbs even locals can't keep track, Illinois Park is also an elementary school in Elgin. And Geist. You young lady are a freakin improve rockstar!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T14:43:30-04:00
Couldn't we just clone Rowena? I mean, after all, she's just another smelly old cat, she's not that special. Ahem, that's right, that's what I meant ...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:44:35-04:00
did you guys just skip over my loopholes? I'm take pride in my amazing ability to find them and try to figure out how to fix them.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:45:42-04:00
Also, where's creeper in all this fun? The only person missing and she'll feel like she missed out on the fun.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:45:56-04:00
Funny you should mention Philly Dr.P. I was there last November because of an appointment at a tattoo pallor. The section of the city had all of these wonderful mom and pop stores. I wanted to stay and explore but it was getting dark and very cold. I promised myself that I would go back when it was much warmer. I think the place was on South street or something. I'd have to look at the piercer's website for the exact location.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:48:34-04:00
You have me cracking up PoT. I was shocked when you first posted and almost let fly with a few choice words but checked back here and saw I had a new playmate on that board. This has been so much fun. I hope Gleb/Danila/Mark/Oliver/Hebert/whoever actually responds.
Well if you're ever in town certainly let me know!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:50:22-04:00
@GCoD: That is like saying the precious is just a silly old butter knife. Come on! Let me have her so I can dress her up in purple bows and serve her cat food from a sterling silver KC bowl!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:50:52-04:00
If anyone comes to (or more likely through) Nebraska, I'll come out pretty much anywhere within 50-100 miles of the Lincoln area if I'm available. Or if they couchsurf, we room alot of people driving through for free. Anyone? Nobody? Please?! ;)
Also, loopholes!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T14:52:57-04:00
Will do Dr.P. Although are you guys still going to have the Kitten Con?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T14:55:40-04:00
Are my comments even going through? Man, I'm like the invisible man.
"I am the invisible man *doot* I am the invisible man *doot* Incredible HOW you can.... see riight THROUGH me!"
I could say anything and nobody would think twice! Oh I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, doodle-doo doo...
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T14:55:55-04:00
Thanks for jumping in with the gorgeous set-ups Geist. It's always fun working with someone that on their game and having fun with you.
I certainly want to do something Kitten Corps related with you guys. It hasn't been sketched out yet, and will probably depend on how everyone sits when the game comes out.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T14:56:55-04:00
For an example how a real dice campaign should be run, take a look at Billet Dice. The campaign ended April 7th, and he says as of May 4th he has shipped all the dice ... roughly 1200 die were made.
Jeff 2015-05-05T15:00:26-04:00
Although I am originally from that area, Da Bears/Da Bulls. I have not been around there that much... occupational hazard. However, my Google-Fu, is adequate.
-
Like: http://www.gmdice.com/6-sided-roman-numeral-dice -
Why back him, for 1 die at $9, when I can get one for $.85?
Also, who needs a 14 sided die? Nobody but half-orc berserkers use a d12, or for the great axe/great sword. Unless you need a d14 for the very rare Greater Axe/Greater Sword.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:01:40-04:00
@Jeff; "this one goes to eleven" (stolen from Spinal Tap)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:01:51-04:00
I bow to your creativity PoT. It has truly been a very amusing set of post. I love how you've set him up so that there is no WAY he will be able to wiggle out of this. Of course he won't post a video of himself, much less in front of anything. And his suggestion of communicating with you over Facebook? My stuffed vampire cat can make up a fake FB account and pretend to be someone else.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T15:02:53-04:00
*Crickets*
LOL Geist
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:03:10-04:00
For the "fanciness" of his crappy 3D printed die, why not upload the file to Shapeways, Makerverse, Thingiverse ..and just sell the three or four he may get orders for there?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T15:03:40-04:00
@Geist DID YOU SEE MY LOOPHOLES?!?!
I must be invisible! Also, that quote was from a Queen song if anyone noticed. Props to those who know it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:04:29-04:00
@Jeff: I don't see how you could use a 3D printed die in the first place. It would be too light to roll, I would think. Even the die in the Trouble game is heavier than his.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T15:04:34-04:00
Holy crap! You have a stuffed Vampire cat too?
Small world.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:04:47-04:00
I love the sales pitch on the roman numeral die you posted, @Jeff. "The sun dial reads III:VL and you've got just X minutes to grab a toga and get out the door to make that Senate vote on time."
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T15:06:06-04:00
I thought it was fun using the posts to call him untrustworthy, stupid and a moron while simultaneously supporting him. Sometimes it just works out.

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Nobody seemed to see my easy to exploit loopholes, so here goes again. Ahem:
"Unless he's a mouse, he could pay any random friend in illinois to go there and make a video because we have no previous example of what he looks like except a priest in eastern europe. That's a major fault I wouldn't hesitate to exploit. Then tell your buddy a free drink is waiting if he does it as well.:

Actually Tesla, it was a soft bunny that I got at the last Horrorfind convention and I lost him. I was very sad about that because it looked so cool sitting on top of the vampire teeth candy bowl that I had on my desk at home.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:08:59-04:00
Since she came up, Rowena just walked in to my office, hopped on the side desk, and plopped down for a nap ... watching me ...

Ok, now I'm scared I have a connectivity issue that stops me from uploading a comment though I can read yours. Someone just @TheWonderfulAndBenevolentOverlordForLifeZemTheMattress,LongMayHeLive for me to give me some peace of mind and so I stop spamming about the loopholes because I think they're being thrown down in the comments unseen, please. Thank you!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:15:37-04:00
*squeals* Awwww. I bet she looks so cuuuuute snoozing up there. Strangely enough, my cat (Inspector) never jumped on the desk when I was sitting there. He was more independent and a loner. Neko was simply too damn fat.
No the conversation just seems to move around you Zem. I don't think anyone thinks he's really smart enough to do the video thing, he'd have to figure out where Elgin Park actually is and have a crony there first. That kind of thing isn't easy, and doesn't necessarily come cheap. He's trying to make pennies, he'll give it up before spending money more than likely. And he's already created multiple accounts. We can't stop EVERY scammer, but we can make the dice scammers life(s) a living hell.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:18:41-04:00
A cat named Neko? How appropriate.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T15:20:04-04:00
Looking for some consensus here. I have information that leads me to believe that Mark Anthony is NOT a resident of Elgin, IL or any of the nearby suburbs, in fact it is unlikely he lives in Illinois. But at what point do I point that out on his campaign? IS tomorrow too soon? Can we drag the foreplay out a bit longer?
Our cat would do it, but he suffered a head injury that rendered him slightly handicap. It threw off his depth perception, so he wouldn't necessarily make it...
At least wait until he comments again PoT, he could give you more room to play.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T15:23:38-04:00
Ye, PoT, wait til he makes a peep, then nail him. I was trying to see if his log-in time and posting time in any way indicated he was in a different time zone.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T15:24:10-04:00
DrP, thanks for the peace of mind, finally!
Also, PoT, I'd do it in a couple days, but it really depends on how he reacts and if he even does this week; he only checks it like once a month or something!
Well he offered you Facebook information too, we could REALLY fry him with that too. The possibilities are endless. I simply look forward to watching it all play out.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:27:14-04:00
@GCoD: The shelter named my cats and when I got them, I never bothered to change it.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T15:28:30-04:00
The collective has spoken. As you wish. I shall hold back, and wait for a response from the nebulous Mark Anthony. But keep an eye on his project because the Coup de Gras is going to be worth the wait.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:28:35-04:00
@Dr.P & PoT: He will most likely shut down the campaign before then. He knows that anyone checking out the comments section will be discouraged if he doesn't post the video. He did that on the Ovi Dice one.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T15:29:46-04:00
He hasn't said a peep on his Ovi Dice. That one will fail as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T15:29:53-04:00
@PoT make sure to throw in an Antony and Cleopatra joke he's sure not to get but will take as an insult as he always does when he misunderstands something!
Well whose mythical 4,000 B.C. dice does he think he discovered if not Cleopatra Anthony's?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T15:40:51-04:00
Wow, the comments have been rolling just like old times, plus some people we haven't seen in awhile now! I gotta go turn something in to a professor's mailbox, and maybe stop for a coffee on the way back, but I should be back soon, so no fun without me, only trouble! Fun trouble is negotiable. I hope I'm here for Sklorz's comment. I also hope it really is the same guy, maybe he'll even honor us with a visit to KittenCon! I'd love to meet him; he provided us with endless humor/terrible impressions by me and brought us all closer via a common "enemy". Happy Goltovka, be back soon.
@Geist and PoT, spent the time to take a look at the dice campaign. The comments left by you both have made my week! I can die happily now
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T15:46:55-04:00
Well, see, that guy has a c at the end of his name and Mark Antony is missing an h, so I liked the Mark Antony and Cleopatra reference better. Plus, he's not taking it seriously as it is: his picture is tom from Tom&Jerry. You could make both references though.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T16:08:45-04:00
My aunt will beat you if you don't tip her. Almost literally! It's a good thing you leave your tip when you leave the restaurant. Creeper has a taser, it's in her name, so I'd make sure not to tip a total of just over 100 dollars for a wedding. Someone already tried that.
She's baked larger men into smaller pies, you don't want to mess with Creeper! :-P
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:15:09-04:00
Speaking of scams, I can't believe I fell for two of them in under two weeks. Good thing both were shut down or I'd really have egg on my face.

Well, geist, I guess that happens when you support 64 projects! Holy crap, what, did you just divorce your aging billionaire husband and take half his estate? How do people afford that many? Chameleon has 155!

Bumbleberry pie? Do you have a Neopet Nick CC?
Nick CC 2015-05-05T16:30:58-04:00
Alas @Geist, i had buried mine as it died from far to much neglect. But to be honest i never did, had the knock off. Think it was a pocket fighter?

And if it hasn't been said before: Happy Cinco de Mayo! I had my one drink for the day and will be going straight home since we are due for a thunderstorm tonight. Those are best enjoyed indoors where you can relax and listen to the soothing thunder roll by.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:32:33-04:00
lol@Nick. No, Neopets is a website. You play games, collect stuff. And your pet can't die even when you close the account. It will go to the pound where it can get adopted.
(I feel little shame in the fact that I'm middle aged and I know this information)
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-05T16:35:01-04:00
Cinco de Mayo. Win the battle, but lose the war. Typical!

Oh dear. Lord help me, but I am having so much fun with this. Thank you again Geist.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:46:46-04:00
@GCoD: What did you mean by life choices and Michigan's Upper Peninsula? The only thing I could think of is that they must be ultra conservative or something.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T16:47:58-04:00
Though your sarcasm seems to be bleeding into the painfully obvious. He never noticed before though. Remember when I commented on his? He just took it as a compliment for how nice his hands are for a 70-something year old.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:48:00-04:00
I should thank you Tesla. This is the most fun I've had with Danila/Gleb/Mark/Oliver/Hebert in a while. I think I only posted one thing in his other cancelled campaign.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:49:07-04:00
@Nick CC: You'd be surprised at the number of adults who take that site a bit...seriously. I use to be that way until they shut down my original account. For what I don't know since they never bothered to tell me.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T16:50:35-04:00
The UP is kinda remote from what I hear. Lets face it, I've been all over this country, north, south, east, and west, and I've never had any reason to go to the U.P.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T16:51:46-04:00
@geist I was that way with a few like club penguin (though never neopets) until I wasn't on for several months and they canceled my account. One of the oldest accounts, one of the most active people just cut off. I never cared though; club penguin was great when I started when I was really young, then just kinda sucked it all up. Kinda like minecraft mid-beta.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T16:52:38-04:00
And Geist, for the record, I have no idea what "Mark is going to make you eat that toast" means.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-05T16:53:17-04:00
I wondered about that, PoT.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-05T16:55:35-04:00
Me too Zem. I wrote it, looked at it, realized it made no sense, and then said "screw it" and left it. Don't know why, but it seemed appropriate.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-05T16:56:56-04:00
lol@Tesla. You are making about as much sense as "Mark". Maybe he is rubbing off on you.
Eh, Chicago can have as many crooked politicians as they want, but they can't have crooked dice peddlers! PoT is nailing the creep to the wall this time.
So a doctor friend of mine may be getting the "opportunity" to take a job position in the east-central end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I told him "say goodbye to your life choices" if you move there.
Evening all. I see the dice wars are in full swing. Let justice prevail!
New post up on the dice KS. Hat tip to Geist for the epic set up.
She is really good at that!
That's an epic post, PoT -- he either puts up and proves himself, or shuts up and again, proves himself.
(In my best Elvis impression) Thank you. Thank you very much
I REALLY don't think he likes the route PoT turned him down... lol. Radio silence, when he usually has at least ONE [witty comeback]. I LOVE just how quickly Geist immediately picked it up and ran off with it too.
@Geist. I hope you read this. If we ever meet IRL I owe you a drink of your choice. That was perfect.
PoT is also a REALLY good actor apparently.... If I didn't know better I would totally fall for the college-fratboy-bro-fest thing he's selling over there.
Hell, I own her a drink! She's spinning gold over there!
I would cheerfully take the stage with Geist for an improv set.
How is it, that nobody picked up on Illinois Park, Elgin, Illinois.
-
1) Is it Illinois Park, or Elgin? Who lists two cities?
2) There is no city in Illinois called Illinois Park.
3) There is a Park in Elgin, called Illinois Park.
4) You cannot live in a park, unless you are a homeless person.
5) A search for Illinois Park, IL: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Illinois+Park,+Elgin,+IL+60123/@42.0480818,-88.3142462,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x880f054878860bcf:0x661bf481dde304a2
6) The street view is an empty lot between two houses, so not actually a park, unless by park, the mean the car parked there?
Tell him to bring Cleopatra to the video shoot. I wonder if he'd even get the joke.
I was going to up the ante and say that if I win, you have to help me steal away Rowena. No point keeping GCoD out of the fun even if he isn't posting anymore.
Also, unless he's a mouse, he could pay any random friend in illinois to go there and make a video because we have no previous example of what he looks like except a priest in eastern europe. That's a major fault I wouldn't hesitate to exploit. Then tell your buddy a free drink is waiting if he does it as well.
@Jeff: I live near Washington, D.C. I have no idea what cities or parks are in Illinois. You bring up a good point though. Why don't you post what you just wrote here and see what "Mark" says?

@GCoD: That is like saying the precious is just a silly old butter knife. Come on! Let me have her so I can dress her up in purple bows and serve her cat food from a sterling silver KC bowl!
If anyone comes to (or more likely through) Nebraska, I'll come out pretty much anywhere within 50-100 miles of the Lincoln area if I'm available. Or if they couchsurf, we room alot of people driving through for free. Anyone? Nobody? Please?! ;)
Also, loopholes!
Will do Dr.P. Although are you guys still going to have the Kitten Con?
Are my comments even going through? Man, I'm like the invisible man.
"I am the invisible man *doot* I am the invisible man *doot* Incredible HOW you can.... see riight THROUGH me!"
I could say anything and nobody would think twice! Oh I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, doodle-doo doo...
Thanks for jumping in with the gorgeous set-ups Geist. It's always fun working with someone that on their game and having fun with you.
I certainly want to do something Kitten Corps related with you guys. It hasn't been sketched out yet, and will probably depend on how everyone sits when the game comes out.
For an example how a real dice campaign should be run, take a look at Billet Dice. The campaign ended April 7th, and he says as of May 4th he has shipped all the dice ... roughly 1200 die were made.
Although I am originally from that area, Da Bears/Da Bulls. I have not been around there that much... occupational hazard. However, my Google-Fu, is adequate.

Why back him, for 1 die at $9, when I can get one for $.85?
Also, who needs a 14 sided die? Nobody but half-orc berserkers use a d12, or for the great axe/great sword. Unless you need a d14 for the very rare Greater Axe/Greater Sword.
@Jeff; "this one goes to eleven" (stolen from Spinal Tap)
I bow to your creativity PoT. It has truly been a very amusing set of post. I love how you've set him up so that there is no WAY he will be able to wiggle out of this. Of course he won't post a video of himself, much less in front of anything. And his suggestion of communicating with you over Facebook? My stuffed vampire cat can make up a fake FB account and pretend to be someone else.
*Crickets*
LOL Geist
For the "fanciness" of his crappy 3D printed die, why not upload the file to Shapeways, Makerverse, Thingiverse ..and just sell the three or four he may get orders for there?
@Geist DID YOU SEE MY LOOPHOLES?!?!
I must be invisible! Also, that quote was from a Queen song if anyone noticed. Props to those who know it.
@Jeff: I don't see how you could use a 3D printed die in the first place. It would be too light to roll, I would think. Even the die in the Trouble game is heavier than his.
Holy crap! You have a stuffed Vampire cat too?
Small world.
I love the sales pitch on the roman numeral die you posted, @Jeff. "The sun dial reads III:VL and you've got just X minutes to grab a toga and get out the door to make that Senate vote on time."
I thought it was fun using the posts to call him untrustworthy, stupid and a moron while simultaneously supporting him. Sometimes it just works out.
@ Evil Twin:
It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
Nobody seemed to see my easy to exploit loopholes, so here goes again. Ahem:
"Unless he's a mouse, he could pay any random friend in illinois to go there and make a video because we have no previous example of what he looks like except a priest in eastern europe. That's a major fault I wouldn't hesitate to exploit. Then tell your buddy a free drink is waiting if he does it as well.:
"Also, if this in any way could actually affect him as a creator (not likely for a starting person nobody would look into) he (as a scammer) can just change profiles again and wouldn't think twice about it. Hell, he may have several projects we haven't found and maybe even made some money. Well, then again, he's dumb enough to stick to dice. And when we find him transform them into heretical crosses."
Actually Tesla, it was a soft bunny that I got at the last Horrorfind convention and I lost him. I was very sad about that because it looked so cool sitting on top of the vampire teeth candy bowl that I had on my desk at home.
Since she came up, Rowena just walked in to my office, hopped on the side desk, and plopped down for a nap ... watching me ...
"The Dice were in danger of being trod upon by a dwarf"
He died in a bizarre gardening accident... Authorities said... best leave it... unsolved.
Ok, now I'm scared I have a connectivity issue that stops me from uploading a comment though I can read yours. Someone just @TheWonderfulAndBenevolentOverlordForLifeZemTheMattress,LongMayHeLive for me to give me some peace of mind and so I stop spamming about the loopholes because I think they're being thrown down in the comments unseen, please. Thank you!
*squeals* Awwww. I bet she looks so cuuuuute snoozing up there. Strangely enough, my cat (Inspector) never jumped on the desk when I was sitting there. He was more independent and a loner. Neko was simply too damn fat.
No the conversation just seems to move around you Zem. I don't think anyone thinks he's really smart enough to do the video thing, he'd have to figure out where Elgin Park actually is and have a crony there first. That kind of thing isn't easy, and doesn't necessarily come cheap. He's trying to make pennies, he'll give it up before spending money more than likely. And he's already created multiple accounts. We can't stop EVERY scammer, but we can make the dice scammers life(s) a living hell.
A cat named Neko? How appropriate.
Looking for some consensus here. I have information that leads me to believe that Mark Anthony is NOT a resident of Elgin, IL or any of the nearby suburbs, in fact it is unlikely he lives in Illinois. But at what point do I point that out on his campaign? IS tomorrow too soon? Can we drag the foreplay out a bit longer?
Our cat would do it, but he suffered a head injury that rendered him slightly handicap. It threw off his depth perception, so he wouldn't necessarily make it...
At least wait until he comments again PoT, he could give you more room to play.
Ye, PoT, wait til he makes a peep, then nail him. I was trying to see if his log-in time and posting time in any way indicated he was in a different time zone.
DrP, thanks for the peace of mind, finally!
Also, PoT, I'd do it in a couple days, but it really depends on how he reacts and if he even does this week; he only checks it like once a month or something!
Well he offered you Facebook information too, we could REALLY fry him with that too. The possibilities are endless. I simply look forward to watching it all play out.
@GCoD: The shelter named my cats and when I got them, I never bothered to change it.
The collective has spoken. As you wish. I shall hold back, and wait for a response from the nebulous Mark Anthony. But keep an eye on his project because the Coup de Gras is going to be worth the wait.
@Dr.P & PoT: He will most likely shut down the campaign before then. He knows that anyone checking out the comments section will be discouraged if he doesn't post the video. He did that on the Ovi Dice one.
He hasn't said a peep on his Ovi Dice. That one will fail as well.
@PoT make sure to throw in an Antony and Cleopatra joke he's sure not to get but will take as an insult as he always does when he misunderstands something!
Well whose mythical 4,000 B.C. dice does he think he discovered if not Cleopatra Anthony's?
Wow, the comments have been rolling just like old times, plus some people we haven't seen in awhile now! I gotta go turn something in to a professor's mailbox, and maybe stop for a coffee on the way back, but I should be back soon, so no fun without me, only trouble! Fun trouble is negotiable. I hope I'm here for Sklorz's comment. I also hope it really is the same guy, maybe he'll even honor us with a visit to KittenCon! I'd love to meet him; he provided us with endless humor/terrible impressions by me and brought us all closer via a common "enemy". Happy Goltovka, be back soon.
Wrong Mark Anthony: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
@Geist and PoT, spent the time to take a look at the dice campaign. The comments left by you both have made my week! I can die happily now
Well, see, that guy has a c at the end of his name and Mark Antony is missing an h, so I liked the Mark Antony and Cleopatra reference better. Plus, he's not taking it seriously as it is: his picture is tom from Tom&Jerry. You could make both references though.
He could not afford to buy a vowel.
lol that's awesome Jeff!
I'm glad you enjoyed reading Nick. We'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Indeed! Otherwise Creeper will tase you.
My aunt will beat you if you don't tip her. Almost literally! It's a good thing you leave your tip when you leave the restaurant. Creeper has a taser, it's in her name, so I'd make sure not to tip a total of just over 100 dollars for a wedding. Someone already tried that.
She's baked larger men into smaller pies, you don't want to mess with Creeper! :-P
Speaking of scams, I can't believe I fell for two of them in under two weeks. Good thing both were shut down or I'd really have egg on my face.
These idle threats mean nothing! Bring it on .... well unless its bumbleberry pie, horrible with my complexion
Well, geist, I guess that happens when you support 64 projects! Holy crap, what, did you just divorce your aging billionaire husband and take half his estate? How do people afford that many? Chameleon has 155!
Bumbleberry pie? Do you have a Neopet Nick CC?
Alas @Geist, i had buried mine as it died from far to much neglect. But to be honest i never did, had the knock off. Think it was a pocket fighter?
And if it hasn't been said before: Happy Cinco de Mayo! I had my one drink for the day and will be going straight home since we are due for a thunderstorm tonight. Those are best enjoyed indoors where you can relax and listen to the soothing thunder roll by.
lol@Nick. No, Neopets is a website. You play games, collect stuff. And your pet can't die even when you close the account. It will go to the pound where it can get adopted.
(I feel little shame in the fact that I'm middle aged and I know this information)
Cinco de Mayo. Win the battle, but lose the war. Typical!
no shame in that, they have bumbleberry pie on there too? everything on the site is so .... i dare say .... kawaii
Geist, you wimp! Here's how a neBRASkan deals with a ternady! ('murica!)

In certain Latin American and Asian countries, your abandoned neo-pet gets sold to a neo-diner. :>P
We just had 3 large storms in 2 days. That during a not-so-nice drought-ish period and little to no rain all year. Or snow, poor snow, how I love you so. So crazy.
Oh dear. Lord help me, but I am having so much fun with this. Thank you again Geist.
@GCoD: What did you mean by life choices and Michigan's Upper Peninsula? The only thing I could think of is that they must be ultra conservative or something.
Though your sarcasm seems to be bleeding into the painfully obvious. He never noticed before though. Remember when I commented on his? He just took it as a compliment for how nice his hands are for a 70-something year old.
I should thank you Tesla. This is the most fun I've had with Danila/Gleb/Mark/Oliver/Hebert in a while. I think I only posted one thing in his other cancelled campaign.
@Nick CC: You'd be surprised at the number of adults who take that site a bit...seriously. I use to be that way until they shut down my original account. For what I don't know since they never bothered to tell me.
The UP is kinda remote from what I hear. Lets face it, I've been all over this country, north, south, east, and west, and I've never had any reason to go to the U.P.
@geist I was that way with a few like club penguin (though never neopets) until I wasn't on for several months and they canceled my account. One of the oldest accounts, one of the most active people just cut off. I never cared though; club penguin was great when I started when I was really young, then just kinda sucked it all up. Kinda like minecraft mid-beta.
And Geist, for the record, I have no idea what "Mark is going to make you eat that toast" means.
I wondered about that, PoT.
Me too Zem. I wrote it, looked at it, realized it made no sense, and then said "screw it" and left it. Don't know why, but it seemed appropriate.
lol@Tesla. You are making about as much sense as "Mark". Maybe he is rubbing off on you.
