**Viscera**! How dare you post this lifeless accusation of my character! I will tell all my internet tough-guy friends, of which there are many, to ignore you and not give you gmail invites! You will regret editing those photos of me that are not real! Cybering is against my moral code which makes this an atrocity! Have you learned nothing from your last slandering of me in our last online video game when I last didn’t pretended to stick my penis into my internet girlfriend who’s not a man?! This trickery will not stand! P.S. My internet friends say I can sue you. P.P.S. I can’t believe I’m actually employed. ---

They finally got around to posting a [thread summary](http://www.thedauntless.com/cecil.html) which saves a lot of time. Plus, it avoids all the giant sig files, ‘humourous’ pictures, etc - and just cuts straight to the relevant stuff. ---

I can barely grasp what’s going on, too, but I do find this quote from Ceciliantas vaguely amusing: “Be a man and tell us who you really are, so you will face my Justice. And I assure you, I know quite well how to grant it.” Do you Everquest folk all talk like this in real life? 🙂 ---

Sadly, there are some real nutters out there - this Ceciliantas guy is only the tip of the iceburg. Most of us MMO players are sane\*, however. 😉 - More or less. ---

I only had time to skim the thread to try and catch the relevant posts. Okay, so, I read the whole thing. Anyway, thanks to lno’s Cliffs notes, I was somewhat able to understand what was going on. Funny stuff. Sad in a way, but such is good comedy. A perfect and flawless example of the cyber-word “pwned”. I also thought all the representatives from other message boards checking in was hilarious, as if message board perfection has been attained and these guys just want to be a part of history. It reminds me of the wise men visiting the baby Jesus, bringing tidings from far-away kingdoms. ---

> [@Chimpy](#): > > It’s even on [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceciliantas). Mmmmm, no it’s not. Looks like it got ‘rapidly deleted’. Should have its own entry, though, complete with a picture of a real jackass so people can compare and contrast. Meaning no offense to the quadriped variety, of course. What’s the EQ2 way of saying ‘roger you roundly’? ---

See, now, I keep seeing “pwn3d” as “prawned”. And that makes it even funnier. ---

> [@bnorton](#): > > …and on and on and on. Perhaps someone can explain it all to us. I posted some links to definitions of the slang terms used in a previous post in this thread. Thurg is short for Thurgadin, which is a dwarven (Non Player Character, no players are “born” there.) city, and it has some nice armor quests. BP is a slang term for breast plate, WTB stands for **W** ant **T** o **B** uy, and MQ is short for **M** ulti- **Q** uest.\*\*\*\*\* Multi-questing is a way to work around some quests which require rare or difficult to acquire parts, if one person has a rare or hard to get part that they aren’t going to use, they will offer to help someone else finish the quest, for a price. It involves both people turning in their parts to the NPC quest character in a certain order, so that the correct person gets the “no drop” item. (No drop means that the only way to get rid of it out of your inventory or bank is to destroy it once you “loot” it, or it is handed to you as a reward for completing a quest.) Here is a link to a final result of the[Thurg breastplate](http://www.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4969), (there are MUCH better breastplates out there now) as well as a [shawl](http://www.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=11999) quest (which originates in Thurgadin) that I myself am working on finishing, more out of stubborness than need now. (The Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl is a LONG quest which involves a lot of tradeskilling in order to accomplish the combination feats. I’m on the seventh stage of the quest. The quest involves Baking, Brewing, Fletching, Jewelcraft, Pottery, Smithing, and Tailoring all to be over 160+ in skill.) \*\*\*\*\*SK is short for Shadow Knight (anti-palidan), war is short for warrior, “tell hell” means they are getting a lot of text messages, too many to cope with all at once. ---
