In Real Life... News, and other updates

[hypnocrown]

Jasta:

Yeah, yer right. I'll keep you posted on that cuz I thought it would just go away in time but it's not so, I really should do something about it.

D Sun:

Hi there! Gee, I'm sorry to read about the situation you are in. I hope things get better for all of you there.

I think we've been doing fine but the guild is just not as active as we would like. That's why I offered a cool promotion for this month on the user name thread at the fantasy conference sub forum. If at least 5 members become active and increase their post count before the end of the month, they can win neat prizes. You should try to increase yer post count if you want to participate. wink

Has anyone seen the exclusive items for logging into Gaia? I have yet to see a really cool one... rolleyes he-he  

[JastaElf]

I like the holly pin, but then (as you might guess from my avi right now) I like holly. *grins*

What I haven't gotten (and wished I would!) is a chance at one of the Wii consoles. No one has them for sale, though Nintendo is offering rain checks... great. Lovely thing to get under the tree on Christmas... a piece of paper saying "This will eventually turn into a Wii..." *rolls eyes*

Did anyone in the Guild even get a chance, much less win?  

[Gornwen]

No such luck, either on my main account or my mule. Much much sadness.
I was rather surprised with how few Wiis were given out.  

[JastaElf]

Yeah, the list is rather short so far--it's taking them forever to ratify and choose a winner. I never even got a chance to be in the running. Wah...

Oh well! I'd rather win the lottery or a new car anyway. *grins*  

[hypnocrown]

I see Jasta, I see... mrgreen

And you both might be right, I have never seen one of those in the daily chance, and now that I have a mule account I thought I had more of a chance but, nothing! rolleyes

As for me, I just got me a nice x-mas present (IRL) and it's the game of Rogue Leader for my game cube. It looks pretty good so far... mrgreen  

[JastaElf]

Sounds like a cool game! Congrats!

I got a "present" of a sort for myself last night, though I'll be paying for it for the next 6 years... *sighs* The estimates to fix my little car were just too high, so I bit the bullet and bought a new vehicle last night. It's a gorgeous Ford F-150 pickup truck, green with muted gold trim, and it will tow my horse trailer which was an important point. Now I just have to clean out the garage so it will fit... smile

But boy, it's a weird world when you can't afford to fix a car you own outright, but you can afford to finance a brand-new vehicle for a huge sum each month... *rolls eyes*  

[Diabolic Sun]

Enjoy your new car, Jasta! :3

Yea.. this reminds me I should consider getting a drivers license soon.. I've never even thought about it... xp
[ In Israel you can get a license for a 50km/h motorcycle at about 16.5 years old, and a drivers license for a car only at 17.5, although, you can begin learning at 17 -_- ]

Heh, it sucks growing up ...

Oh, and hypnocrown, I'd really love to participate but I don't really think I have any chance to win anything... -_- I love this guild but I cant really post much, as its named - the guild is mostly about fantasy and historical stuff, problem is my knowledge about these two is pretty limited [I prefer sci-fi sweatdrop ] So.. I'm more interested in reading 3nodding Hehe... lurking in the shadows for more info' *evil grin*

And.. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! ~in advance :]


Edit: [adding the following :]

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

If I didn't already have a wii I would have entered the contest razz But as it is wii and DS have broken all previous sale records of any other consoles and they are still seeling more for christmas,Nintedno seems to be desperatly trying to supply for the demand.  

[hypnocrown]

Jasta:

It wasn't actually as great Jasta. Most missions are near to impossible to finish and to get the most of them you need to fill some crazy requirements. My rating for Rogue Squadron 2 is of 5/10. I ended up not liking it after all... rolleyes
Why does this always happen to me? stressed I should have saved up for Zelda's Phantom Hourglass for my DS instead! 3nodding
Congrats on yer new car btw!

Diabolic Sun:

Gee Sun, that's too bad. But I was thinking I could change the requirements so that members only have to raise their post count by 10 instead. Maybe that could work better...

Drizzt:

Well at least someone's doing well this holiday season... rolleyes  

[Sightless Wisdom]

heh heh sweatdrop

Anywya congrats on the new car jasta

And thats too bad that the game isn't very good  

[JastaElf]

Thanks--I love my new vehicle. smile It's my Precioussss... smile

Happy Solstice, BTW, everyone! Now, tiny bit by tiny bit, the days will start to grow longer again... smile  

[hypnocrown]

Yeah well, maybe it will teach me to not get carried away by something that has the logo of Star Wars on it, he-he... rolleyes

I, umm... I have nothing else to report just now. Unless finishing my CV fanfic counts. 3nodding  

[JastaElf]

Of course it counts! *grins*

I saw on eBay that you can get really high quality decals for Star Wars, to put on cars and such. They had the emblem from the side of Darth Vader's TIE fighter from the first movie, and a Rebel Alliance one too. They also have Autobot and Decepticon ones. *grins*

After I get paid I'm going shopping...  

[hypnocrown]

You know, I doubt I would ever buy such things, except to give them out as gifts. sweatdrop

So, did everyone participate in the x-mas event or what?  

[Fauxlorne]

I did - the "heart of gold" is a cute item. but the other items I don't think I'll use... well maybet that raggedy looking elephant... it looks like it needs some loveing! ~ I don't know if Gaia has been spending time on these items or what... I think they are focusing on the Cash Shop items more... the evolving items maybe?

I want to do up my Gaia house like a mad scientist lab - or a dungeon - somthing like that... and I thought the little bottles you have to give the orphans would look great in my house. No such luck! You can't put game items in your house!!!!! *cry*
*oh well*
