Signups for "An Arachnos Shardtober" (Dr. Q and Sara Moore 40+, Justin Augustine and Faathim 44+, all VEATs), a 4-week event 5/12/19/26 October:

  1. @Glacier Peak Fortunata Non Grata - Arachnos Widow
  2. @FrauleinMental Orb Mistress - Arachnos Soldier
  3. @Bananiac TBD
  4. @Midnyte Forever Midnight - Night Widow
  5. @Purple Enchantress Fortunata Fayte - Arachnos Widow
  6. @TrixieKixx Evil Goddess - Arachnos Widow (maybe)

I have Battle Priestess Vea (Arachnos Soldier) now at level 40 and ready to go, if we are starting with Sara Moore or Dr Q.

 

Will be playing my Widow Reverend Mother some more this week with the aim to get her to 40 as well. So I have choices...

That incident involving a nuclear accelerator and a banana… You know… I REALLY don't wanna talk about it!

Nice.  I've had a Widow for quite a while, but I'd never played a Soldier before so I took this theme as impetus to try one out.

 

Yes, the month-long theme is intended to follow the TFs as they pop up in the WST cycle:

  • 5 Oct:  Dr. Q (40+)
  • 12 Oct:  Sara Moore (40+)
  • 19 Oct:  Justin Augustine (44+)
  • 26 Oct:  Faathim the Kind (44+)

Stuck on Serenade of the Seas for 2 extra days waiting for Port of Tampa to reopen. Will be home Sunday. Have fun today!

 

Hi Themers.... glad to be making my way back to my Happy Place. It wasn't the greatest being stuck at sea during the devastation happening at home. I had not bought the wifi package this cruise. It was an unfamiliar cruise line to me and crazy expensive so decided to do without. On Tuesday, they announced that we were being rerouted to Bahamas instead of Mexico, and then the danger of Helene became a reality. The next day we got the announcement that Helene would not let us sail up the Gulf on Friday as planned and that Port of Tampa could not accommodate our ship until Sunday. Yikes! Lots of scurrying to contact friends and family at home, to make disaster plans and get stuff secured. Very frightening. Most of us just wanted to be home at that point, but all we could do was make the best of it! Lots more fun was had by all, but mostly with lots more underlying worry and concern.

Sunday at Tampa Port was ridiculous. They did not have the means to accommodate 4 ships "lost at sea" just waiting to come home. It took us hours longer than usual to disembark. I finally made it home by early evening, and it's taken me all these days to catch up on household things to finally feel settled enough to come back in game. Very grateful to live on high enough ground to avoid any of the flooding, but neighborhoods and businesses and beaches all around me are just destroyed. The surge of this storm was catastrophic, as I'm sure many of you have seen on reports.

 

So just wanted to check in on a Thursday night and say I'm ba-a-a-ck! Really excited for Halloween event and collecting badges on new characters made this past year. Going to log in to game now and also catch up on forums!

Glad you're okay!  The Southeastern US got pounded by Hurricane Helene.  Most of it has missed me so far, thankfully.

I'm so glad you are okay. I was thinking of you during the whole catastrophe. I would have written more details except my limited wifi was running out. They gave us 120 free minutes of ship wifi to deal with stuff back home, but you can imagine those minutes went quickly! When I wrote my message I think I was down to TWO minutes left but I felt compelled to let you all know! LOL

Glad it worked out ok for you, Midnyte. All things considered, you have probably been one of the lucky ones...

And now, time to embrace The Spooky Season! 🦇

And so we kicked off our all-VEAT Shardtober! With 4 widows and 2 soldiers. Everything was easy and fun and relaxed, despite the tedium! 🤭

I didn't bother with costume close-ups today, since there was no specific costume theme.

Really fun seeing any Halloween attire though! 👻

  1. @Glacier Peak Fortunata Non Grata - Arachnos Widow

I hope you're okay and got out of Milton's way.  That looks scary!

It was crazy scary. In the 32 years I've lived in the Clearwater area, this is the first time any storm of this size was almost surely going to hit the Tampa Bay area. After days of talking with my family to carefully weigh all the choices, we decided to just head more inland about 100 miles to Orlando. Stayed away for 3 days and just made it back yesterday. It was quite the apocalyptic scene getting home. Skirting the trees in the roads and having to treat non-functional traffic lights as 4-way stop signs made a normally 2-hour trip more like a 4-hour trip. Fortunately zero damage to any of our properties. My sister's house is without electricity, as is my daughter's. I do have power so everyone keeps coming here to charge their devices or get ice, water, etc. LOL. I'm so happy to be the provider for everyone. However I don't have internet and may not for a while. I'm connected via mobile hotspot so am going to try to play today if the connection stays solid enough.

Yes, it battered us for hours and hours. Very scary and widespread damage. It made landfall about 60 miles south of where I live as a category 3. I had evacuated about 100 miles inland and got pounded there too but it had weakened to a category 1 by that time. I was in a very secure large hotel structure so I felt safe. And I had my two kids with me, so that is what mattered. ♥

Hurricane Milton be damned! The show must go on!

 

Today I was safe back at home with electricity, but no internet. I connected via mobile hotspot which worked fairly well, only some intermittent rubberbanding issues. It's been a stressful and sometimes traumatic couple of weeks with these back-to-back hurricanes, but having little slices of joy to look forward to has really been calming to my brain. Thank you ♥

Thanks for this tip. I am admittedly a noob to the Shard navigation. And today I had stuff going on at my house that kept distracting me. Sorry for that!

It happens.

 

The original intent was for people to use the geyser system to travel the zone.  I've never fully learned it though, because most of my characters have some sort of flight.
