450 pounds isn't that massive.... Hear that, bear? I deny you!

You would think that the admins or Ephemerals have better things to do than smoke weed and take control over mobs.

You obviously don't know our admins.

Now all we need is a koala-like tae'dae to climb onto Hoaracle's head and then drop.

Is this an allusion to some pop culture thing of which I know not? I think I'm seeing this more lately than "all you base are belong to us" back in its day.


There's a song in the books written by George R.R Martin, and it goes like this (it certainly reminded me of this when I saw the guards talking about it on CT):

"A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
The bear! The bear!
Oh, come, they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair? Said he, but I'm a bear!
All black, and brown, and covered with hair!

And Down the road from here to there.
From here! To There!
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear!
danced and spun, all the way to the Fair!
The Fair! The Fair!



Oh, sweet she was, and pure, and fair!
The maid with honey in her hair!
Her hair! Her hair!
The maid with honey in her hair!

smelled the scent on the summer air.
The bear! The bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair.
He smelled the scent on the summer air!
He sniffed and roared and smelled it there!
Honey on the summer air!

Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
A bear! A bear!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
He lifted her high into the air!
The bear! The bear!

I called for a knight, but you're a bear!
A bear! A bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair!
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair,
But he licked the honey from her hair,
Her hair! Her hair!

Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air!
My bear! She sang. My bear so fair!
And off they went, from here to there,
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair."

— George R.R. Martin (A Game of Thrones)

Absolutely. No fun allowed up here.

So why did the bear say from sapience and not from the basin? Isn't sapience Achaea?
Meaha2010-08-23 01:03:36
Because either the bear is just THAT AWESOME, the admin had a brain-fart, OR future plot device!? dun dun dunnnn...


Ok probably not the plot device, maybe. I dont know.

Legacy code bear.

Presumably they just summoned up a template bear, and the templates were originally made in Achaea, thus a bear from Sapience.

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bear for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad bear. Not like going down into Glomdoring and killing spiders. This bear, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this city. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the fur, the whole damn thing.
