What the shit is this?

[windandwater]

I go away for the weekend and teh internets asplodes while I'm not looking.

Someone(s) give me the rundown on what the hell is going on, relevant links accepted. I'm on crappy dial-up since the wireless won't let me leech connect.

... and someone tell me if this made Fandom Wank.

Basically, Pond got suspended and is now on GreatestJournal (ponderosa121), where she can explain more concisely what happened and what shenanigans she's up to now.

The part that pisses me and others off, is that every single comment or post a suspended person makes now, is gone.

x____X Things like this make me cranky. Too much wank at once.

Also, why are you not on AIM so I may pounce on you?

I was reading a good chunk of HP7. Also, Dailan is lv49 1/2 now. He can handle being surrounded by Pirate Ghosts and Merrows on his own. :Db I'm trying to get him to second job, but I need more TM points. Have been punching Gomas and such with Burning Rave, mostly. He's also learned Pumping Heart. :D

And uh, I sold the Sunny Sword. After breaking it I consoled myself with the reminder that there were better, stronger swords out there when Dailan's level got high enough.

And I still giggle at the hit-and-run tactics of mages.

T__T Awww... you shouldn't have sold it. Event items skyrocket in price and I personally like collecting them. And yay for being near 50! Drill and kill for the TMexp, and the World Open Fiesta event running has TMexp monster quests.

... and shut up. Makokun, at least, tanks most of the monsters he kills, if he doesn't just OHKO them. I don't like doing the hit-and-run method unless I'm fighting lvl 100+ monsters.

[moffit.livejournal.com]

I think what killed me, is I saw someone selling an Eagle Feather Pen for 150k-- and someone snatched it right before I could click to buy it.

I got the World Balloon. I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what the World Drill can do. The Hat doesn't impress me much. >.>

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

D: T_T *cries* I bought 2 for around 200k each before I left for Vegas, because everyone else has been selling them for 250k+.

I think I wanna get the World Balloon (since it increases WT AND adds other stats) and lots of the World Drills, and the hat for my collection. The World Drills are Stage 2, iirc, and that means you earn more tmexp when you use it (compared to the normal drills).

[moffit.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I think I wouldn't mind collecting drills, then. It's up until the 22nd I think, so that gives me time to use up some of the ones I stuffed in storage (which seems ridiculous now).

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Well, I wants tons to drill up Rose Garden and other high-depth areas like Nora's Sewage. I know someone posted that she (semi-high level) was using the Flicker Drill from MyShop in Nora's and was gaing TMexp and levels like THAT. Flicker Drill is Stage 7.

Hahahah... or maybe I'll try and make the run to Spicy Dragon's lair, just to drill for equips to sell.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

I'm still doing the card quests, as the monsters get harder as you go along. So I'm definitely up for Nora's. And Spicy Dragon makes me curious.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

I still need to get cards for the quests, too. What sucks is that some of the monsters take FOREVER to drop their cards. x.x

Also, Spicy's lair is where most of the highest-leveled weapons and equips are. Like drilling at Mong's. Lots of people (low levels) go to Spicy's lair just to drill and not actually boss (which is instant death). But drilling at Spicy's is sort of a long-term thing to be profitable. No ins and outs whenever you like, sinc Tapasco Volcano is bad enough to try to run through without immedate death happening.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

I still keep two of every card, unless I bought it. You can use the extras if you need.

I shall have to memorize how to get there after I make you show me. :D

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

♥!

Actually, I was gonna cheat if I did Spicy. >_>;; I can't survive the run to Spicy's from the Gate, even with all my HP equips. I was gonna use a Portable Port AD (we got 5 from the Poppuri Event) to warp to Spicy Island, and from there, pray to god that I survive running through the two maps to Spicy's lair. It must be possible, as long as you dodge all the monsters, and have lots of pots.

I need to go to Spicy Island anyway, to get Gao and Musume drills, which are perfect for drilling places like Rose Garden and Nora's.

>_> I wanna go. *pokes* Take meeeeeeeeeee.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

o_O*

If you want to. I dunno when I'll do it though. I wanna dig during a time when there isn't a major event going on. Go stock up on World Drills in the meantime. XD

Pondy's been banned from LJ for posting Snarry "child porn" where Harry's age is indeterminate. Fandom explodes, the debacle makes the internet-news, and of COURSE Fandom_Wank is documenting it.

Oh, and Brad Fitzpatrick's bored with 6A and leaving for greener pastures. Probably Google.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I saw the FW post. >_>;; I wasn't surprised to see it, really.

And if I was Brad, I would jump ship, too.

[wickedgameff.livejournal.com]

fandom_flies and innocence_jihad are the best resources for what's been going on.

Here's the rundown: Pondy drew a commission piece with SnapexHarry, and then she posted it on the comm pornishpixies (at least, i think that's the comm name), which was one of the comms strikethroughed earlier this summer and then restored. LJ (or someone who saw it), found that it was glorifying sex with a minor and did not find it to have any artistic merit. So they kicked Pond (and another person). Those two people have had anything they ever said or did on LJ obliterated. Their names are bolded and not struck-through.

So now, Ponderosa and an assortment of other people are organizing what they hope to be a mass HP fandom move from LJ and onto greener pastures. It seems most people have chosen greatestjournal.com, while some have chosen journalfen or insanejournal.com. But all these people are banding together to try and create a new journaling site that's like LJ, but for fandom and with everything fandom people could want, including a very liberal TOS.

and here's a post with a bunch of useful info and links: http://elke-tanzer.livejournal.com/791662.html

Thank you for the links!

Looks like you picked the wrong weekend to stop sniffing glue raping the neighbor's WiFi. ^^;;

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Damn Vegas for having no free wifi. You'd think the hotels on the Strip would offer it but noooooooo.
