I don't know if the message always happens. I know I didn't see many when I was on earlier today. It was kind of weird. Oh, and I got a present from Ironbeard. Kialkarkea was there with me, so I gave it to him. I was just happy to be remembered.

Finally got my hands on a gnome. Got poisons - anyone wanna buy em? heh

Just 2 gnomes and they had dingbats and ivory dice.
*awaits angry mob*
Jigan2008-12-24 21:55:35
43 dingbats and...


You quickly unwrap a divinely wrapped present, which sprays glittering silver
dust and cheerful confetti into the air, and excitedly pull a master's paint
palette, a master's paint palette, a master's paint palette, a master's paint
palette, a master's paint palette, a master's paint palette, a master's paint
palette, a master's paint palette, a master's paint palette, and a master's
paint palette from within.

Now I can paint to my heart's content. I am happy.

apparently Ironbeard came by when I was washing dishes (either that or someone gave me it - couldn't tell since I came back to nexus and had timedout.. and when i log back in there it is! hehe)

A little more than 5000 gold sad.gif Ironbeard is taunting me

I was in a spar with Dysolis at the time too...of all the places...

I do love that we are getting gifts and presents, I just wonder how many master's paint palettes there were. Because I now have 35 of the things and not a single one have I made or paid for. Maybe less palettes next time? More herbs, commodities, tints, alchemical vials, and poisons. I dunno, maybe some folk are all gung ho about the painting?
Arix2008-12-25 07:22:23
I dunno, if I had higher arts I'd probably paint more
Unknown2008-12-25 07:24:42
23 dingbats, 92 dingbats, 2 bubble pipes, artie dice are my best presents so far.
Sarrasri2008-12-25 07:59:29
Finally found some more gnomes. Got palettes, cures, poisons, and a rockeater's maw which convienently got traded in for a crit rune. biggrin.gif I am content.
Aison2008-12-25 08:57:31
1 ironbeard present. I found absolutely no gnomes which pisses me off, I was hoping for a rune this year. sad.gif

This inspires an odd thought.

Perhaps we should look at less spreading out the number of presents more evenly (a very difficult task), and more equalizing the worth of presents? Obviously some people will find tints more useful, and some people poisons, but everyone finds a rune useful - and is thus jealous when someone gets a rune when they only get tints. It might help reduce a lot of the resentment.

absolutely not

I want a present, I don't care what's in it, I just want one.

and would spreading out the presents evenly really be that hard? I mean, how about if everybody who logs in during the time period gets one from ironbeard, that would make it fair, right?
