Priceless

Post by Stalker »

Today (actually a few moments ago) I receive an e-mail. Here it is. Please don't die from laugher.
Hi, Stalker. I'm sorry to disturb you on your e-mail address, but I couldn't register on the forums... I really admire your work on TR!
You being, I quote "Fixer of other's people shit", I thought I should tell you a really nasty thing, before I try to post on the TR forums!!!
Look, it's about TR lore and how people mess it up... I know OOT is done, but
some of the new beverages in TR have weird names --- let me explain...
(i think honorary meber Hermit proposed them... ): Cuj, Timisoara and Sibiu are names of cities from Romania, Varna is in Bulgaria and Siret is a river between Romania and Moldavia. Ruse is also a city and Doneq(Donetskh),well...
It's weird someone would assign real city names to TR lore! How would it be to drink Kvyv Wine or Moscow Brandy or even New York cidre... Gosh! It's such a pity. TR was an extraordinary project!
Hope you try to do something about it!!!

Yours trully,
A big TR fan and keen of geography!
P.S. : Hope I spelled Donetskh and Kvyv right!

So are we supposed to laugh because you think it's a stupid e-mail or about how all the names are the same?
wisdom is the horizon, and philosophy is the road that leads there.

Well I don't see anything funny in the names so I'll leave you with one option. And a small note. OoT does not have and never had those drinks :)


EDIT: Oh and I am 101% sure it is not some ESF kiddie. New e-mail adress was specifically registered to send this mail.

I don't understand the joke. I'm sure there is one because I have that feeling that I just missed a funny joke. :shock: I always get that feeling when I miss funny jokes.

I'll take that bet, I could use ten bucks.

And I don't think its very funny. Actually, I don't think it's at all funny that someone emailed you confused and incorrect about drinks.

I think this is pointless. I think this guy just did this so people will make a diversionary thread and he's probably sitting there watching us and laughing at us.

Stalker thinks there's some joke, and I trust Stalker's judgement. Plus he's talking like he knows something that I don't(not purposefully of course).

I'm with Sload, Horodnic couldn't have spelled "extraordinary"... And he wouln't have been able to write that Pm without having a breakdown and leaving. (Again). My guess is, one of the TR modders here thinks he's a real comedian and decided to write this as a practicle joke...

I don't understand what the big deal is. Someone sent Stalker an email criticising proposed drink names from years ago. Misinformed, yes, but where's the practical joke?

he couldn't be watching us, because he wouldn't be able to get into this thread. Unless he was one of us.... in which case i'd laugh in his face and say "YOU LOSER!!"

Very clever Massey, but we all know it was you. Diversionary tactics aren't going to help you get away from the fact, either. You can't escape a superslueth such as myself. :]

And it couldn't have been Horodnic, because we banned his IP.

It's not Horodnic for one single reason - he doesn't put spaces between sentences.
And as I said e-mail adress was registered ONLY to send this e-mail so this cannot be "a lost soul" either.
Seriously the only person I am suspecting is our beloved friend from Sweden we all love and know.

Nah, I already told you it's Massey, how much more do you want? :wink: And I don't think Razorwing would be stupid enough to waste his time doing that.

Oh yeah, you're right Mass. lol. But I point this out to you again, who cares? I still think it's some diversionary attempt to distract us from our work dont you think?

I still say its horodnic(obviously at a different computer), he was from romania, and who else would have any knowledge of romanian towns except for maybe that guy on ESF with an ostrich avatar?

He means Razerwing. I'm not suspecting anyone, and I don't understand what the hell there is to be suspicious of, or even to laugh about.

It does that with all new members that havent posted or logged in after joining. It's some time-date bug or something.

That is a bug, and a well-known one at that. More importantly, his location is a city that doesn't have the same name as one of those imaginary drinks.

Stalker, have you replied and told him that they aren't actually in TR?

Yup, but I bet his friend Dagoth Ur helped him find out how to type and use the space button between sentences.
