is it just me or is it always sunday night?

0run collector,
last night there was some sort of strange King figure,
another night there was a 'trader' and a 'pirate',
very odd.

I think I know what you are talking about. It's at least one of the guides, trying to add a little improvised content from time to time.

As I recall, King Ozy(something or other) announced his presence in a particular sector and invited all comers to bow down to his greatness or be crushed. I presume some crushing ensued.

Its just you ananzi, if your not on drugs, you should be, hehehe...

No, im not sure, it maybe guides, it maybe devs, it may even be runaway code, but there have been a few things that have recently happened that even as being me I cannot understand?

I have seen a worm hole sector full of dentek collectors, mining the roids.

I hailed a station guard, it was a mispress of a key, i got ;) as a reply (never happened since).

And more I cannot explain, it was, uhum, weird, who knows? its a big place and a lot of code.

[Edit] bah, FM hit the post button a few mins before I did, try keep the unreal element, baaad FM.. =p

The other day I saw a station guard with his nose pressed up against a roid, thrusting away as merry as you please. Looked like he was trying to shift the roids orbit. Is this the kind of nincompoop pilot our tax credits are paying for today ?

yeah, i think theres one guide that is allowed to randomly intervene people with crazy ships. they always act weirdly in RP way when they're on these chars.

I believe that you are refering to Grazax of Zarqon 5 (aka GOD) and his/her Bunchie UFO of Redemtion.

Anyone have a link to an existing screenie of that UFO? I remember one in the Off Topic forum but that was probably a year ago.

AND WE HAVE A WIENER!!! (Please pass the mustard.)

I think we've found our megalomaniac Guide (0.o)

Thanks for the screenies sloanesky. I figured that others would like to see that UFO of Redemtion that our Grazax of Zarqon 5 was flying. Much too hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it.

It saddens me to see so many speaking of the mighty Lord Grazax in such a casual manner. I was once like many of you, a unbeliever and lost to the power and graciousness of the mighty One.

I am ashamed to admit that I, lost and without hope, committed the grievous act of questioning his superiority over such a simple being as I.

In his wisdom he confined me to a station to where I was forced to contemplate the errors of my way and the selfish simpleness of my existance.

Upon demonstrating my obedience, I was instantly forgiven of my transgressions and allowed to continue on my way with my new found faith in the graciousness of the mighty One.

Come. Join me now wherever you are in showing your respect for the mighty one. Simply stand to your feet and face the direction of Zarqon 5 and repeat after me....

"Lord Grazax, we respect you......"

Back on the topic of glitchs, there were a bunch of Ions floating around a station in Edras the other day. It was almost comical. There were a bunch of ions floating out of the walls of the station, but other than that, no visible effects of the 'storm' existed.

I was passing through Betheese(dont think I spelled that right but its one jump from Sol II) system and I could SWEAR i saw a black warthog just sitting at the wormhole. Who flys those cause he/she didnt attack me(or anyone else) and I couldnt target it. Any ideas?
