Spider

TopDoc has his own private server, and we are all just living in his world. Crispy Cheezits.

My plan to migrate the masses is working, Darth Xeaon. I guess I'll log in and poke a couple of y'all. Sooo soo proud of everyone for hitting May goal so quickly!

Grats to Not2Sweet! 1531 Grats to True Hero of Paragon! 1529 Grats to Asian Nyte! 1255

Is spider drunk ? Is this an elaborate commercial for CityofBadgers.com ? Why we gots so many 1500+ today? No! That was the other night! Yes! But not really good production value so no video! WE R Teh CHampions, my friends! We r teh champions. til the enddddddddddddddddddddd.

Meanstwhilst, 2 hours later in Spiderlandia... Ahhhh! Went back to sleep. Woke up. Signed for delivery. Gots handwritten so-sorry notes and a warm pack of Mountain Dew from someone! Nice! Hive five and grats to teamwork! Also, still migrating to CityofBadgers.com. For now, also updating thee olde one for a lil longer. Am online throughout the day for driveby's! Why does this bottlecap seem pre-opened?

Meow.

Participants may no longer rise and leave for bio breaks during our weekly Zoom Badger-meetings. Please either: disable camera, hold waifu pillow over trouser snake/coin purse and back out of room, or use empty Mt. Dew bottle / puppy pads like the rest of us. That is all. Yes, I am angry posting at 4:56 AM Central US time. Which means the umpteen full moons, five garden snakes, one anaconda, and two taco salads we encountered last night has weighed heavily on my mind. Not enough bleach due to current purchase restrictions! Look, legally, we can no longer conduct meetings at Potato's dad's basement or within 500 feet of it so let's make this Zoom thing work! PS. I did NOT know Captain Cuddles is actually a REAL cat. I just assumed he was Xeaon's alt account. Who taught him how to punch the right buttons like that? So cute. And who taught Captain Cuddles how to also punch the right buttons like that? So so cute!

log in log in log in. anniversary badges now available. received this years by logging in... if you need previous years, go to Ouroboros and purchase from contact: Luna (winged redhead... )

If you haven't saved up merits for Anniversary badges in May. Go. Save. Now.

This is amazing. My words are simple and small but true.

Xeaon is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! He added our cellblocks to CityofBadgers.com you can now filter by server, by count-range!!!! I truly believe sorting by blocks helps us motivate our badge buddies and encourages making new friends. echoes echoes echoes ... new friends - introverts unite! let the forum leaderboard migration BEGIN!

Yeah! Now sleep. Tomorrow is smelly pineapple day.

Test post only. Please disregard.

Swiss Draw puts swiss holes in my heart!!!!! Good luck! Stay safe!!!

I'm debating making a video but I'm lazy, exhausted and need to find my old program.

As for the buggy Swiss Draw: Updating my original notes. Have run this many times. It isn't really a pita except the wait time. A few extra details: This can be a lengthy time commitment. I tell everyone up front. Probably because custom pentads are so fast, some might assume this is as well. It's 3 rounds for only 1 winner. 8 badgers = 24 rounds. 8 *bodies* minimum needed. Easily, one can grab spouse / 2nd accounts to fill if needed. If 16 show up, run 2 teams with 2 hosts. If 12 show up, just ask 4 to wait and then excuse the first 4 winners after they badge. The host does all the work: sets matches, selects winner in advance, sends reminders, etc. When I had groups in voice, it was super simple. Groups in text were ok, but sometimes it felt like a lot more poking. If running in text, I preferred everyone wait at the battle terminals so I could "see" them as they exit and re-enter rounds. Remind everyone to drop toggles, which saves time on matches (except the designated winner). Remind self (host) to use Cage match map. This allows us to immediately see who we are placed inside a round with. If I forget and leave it on random map, they can look at the mini map. Iirc, the hover tells them who their challenge partner is. Or yell in broadcast. Or play hide and seek... haha. no. that is a time waster on 24 rounds. Though I use Coliseum map for custom pentads. It's just prettier and larger. The teams go in and immediately see one another. I like to announce the winner in advance of each run (1 run = 3 rounds). It's buggy and time consuming, so it's not a bad idea to keep everyone on the same page. Local chat: "Heroid is winner of this run for all 3 rounds. If you are teleported inside and face to face with anyone OTHER THAN him/her, please exit the map. You may click on SCOR to exit. If you are inside the cage match with Heroid, surrender yourself to sweet death. Do NOT kill the badger. Thank you." By the 3rd run, I'm just yelling "Fidessa is the winner. Dont kill her. Thanks." I'm old fashioned and keep a handwritten list of who already badged. I take 2nd alt badgers last as a courtesy to those who only badge 1 character. Invite the designated winner first! By default, you as the host will be Place # 1. That places the designated winner / first invitee in Place # 2. Wait to ensure the designated winner has accepted the invitation and is showing in the arena screen before inviting the others. I like to invite someone who also does not yet have the badge as 2nd invitee, Place # 3. This way, if something bugs, at least both potential places needed the badge anyway. Yes, exiting early does sometimes change how the 2nd and 3rd rounds work. Sometimes, those advancing find themselves inside the match with no sparring partner. This is fine. The rounds will continue and the designated winner will still badge. Following the first and 2nd rounds, at least one person (the designated winner) should see a text announcement. Something like "Round 2 begins in 2 minutes". Sometimes they dont. Iirc, it's 2 minutes. So if no one is whooshed inside in 3 minutes, it's possible the run is completely bugged. This has only happened to us once in many many runs so I don't worry about it. Some designated winners swear they never saw the countdown message and still get whooshed inside the map for the next round. What happens when the designated winner is whooshed inside a round with no one to kill? Just wait. Stand there and wait. They'll badge. Though, if they are inside the match with someone in round 2 and 3, I prefer they kill the toggle-less sacrificial lamb. I like to run Pentad before Swiss Draw.

Specific AT's are not required if using the Custom Pentad selection. Custom does sometimes still have buggy issues, but is an easier set up.

A note to our viewers: Leaderboards is migrating to CityofBadgers.com, thoughtfully and painstakingly created by our very own @Xeaon. The site is self-servicing with a tool similar to that used during the live servers for the original badge-tracking websites. Please see the FAQ page there for instructions on how to add your character(s).

And. The. Crowd. Goes. Wild! Congratulations, Rooster Gold!

You're always welcome to poke at me with a stick. I smell real bad. Use a long stick!

A response in metered Instagram haiku would be more fitting, but I am dumb and there are prisoners to be tracked. This whole badge thing has evolved into its own adventure for reams of reasons and raisins. I like it. Most importantly, I like you all. This is not the badge community of Live, or of our fathers, or of our understanding some days.... but it is ours. And we are fucking G E W D! Yeah! And my sincere apologies to those who have had the discomfort of meeting the small pink spoonerism of Ouroboros - the one imposing her unsolicited interest in your whereabouts then proudly proclaiming that while that's nice, she is THE MAN.

Basic slash command for visiting your base without a cooldown timer (replace the E-1254 with your own base password): /enterbasefrompasscode E-1254 FYI: there are macros and binds; I prefer macros because I lose track of all the binds. My base has a pouncing kitten icon. /macro_image Inherent_Panther TP enterbasefrompasscode E-1254 Below is an example of a SG base access macro without the image. Instead, it is labeled "TP": /macro TP enterbasefrompasscode E-1254 ( Arion Touvengard got it for me. thanks! >> !!! if someone could find me the list of other icons available for our use, that would be great! !!!!

Behold! The vision of victory! Well done, FemFury!!!!!!!
