The Fifth Horseman

Praetorian Clockwork language feels like a frankenstein monster of Assembly-style mnemonics with C-style syntax and objective programming. WNT=DNT
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Great, now you've gone and reminded me of the classic 'Rikt-E-raser' from The Cape Radio....  ;)

'Compulsion, atypical, must consume grenade...nomnomnom-'  =pingpingping=  'REMORSE!'  -BOOM-

For the glory of Emperor Marcus Cole.

Right?  :)

Listening to Rikti speak makes me want to exclaim:

"Subject: Your English, terrible"

You're both close.

It would be:
"Subject: your English.  Status: terrible!"

Also acceptable:
"Your: English.  Status: terrible!"

Rikti Translation: difficult.  Dialects: numerous.  Variances: dependent on: degree of: Riktification.  Differences include: Positioning: colons, degree of: subject/verb colon usage, variances in: post-colon capitalization, as well as: others.

At least it's not as bad as trying to figure out what your average Resistance member is trying to say.  Or puzzling out the tortured mess of Resistance Clockwork output.

Now that's an exercise in brainmelting torture.

Look out folks, we have a genuine Rikti among us.

No seriously, good job.  That's about the Riktiest of Rikti dialects, right there.

I have my first signature thanks to you <3

Now you just need to add Resistance into that and have Dillo speak it, and your journey to the dark side will be complete.

Look, pal.  I may be a megalomaniacal spider-themed villain intent on one day usurping Lord Recluse and controlling the known world.  I'm also fairly decent at puzzling out odd robotic/extradimensional/extraterrestrial dialects of English.

But I am not a masochist!

NCSoft's stock is going boingy boingy and slowly climbing.  :|

Kaiser Tarantula

*grumble* They're almost back up to 150,000.

I wonder what caused the sudden small upswing?  It's not like NC's doing anything different in its wholesale mismanagement of its assets.

LadyImmolatasia

A small rise in stock was inevitable as they even out. They still have the massive ass whooping to their overall value they've received this year.
