Just wanted to let people know I'm still around!  Been busy coaching and getting into a new job this fall.  Also my laptop's hard drive finally finished dying. . .so could be a little while longer before I come back around.  Hope you are all doing great, and hopefully I make it back for the start of Horizons!  

As a Daggerlander. . .I am highly offended by the last line of today's riddle!!

(nice loot tho )

Disappointed in some of the community rn. . .to enter into my house and break my stuff, which took a few dozen hours to make is absolutely pathetic.  Even if they were just there and watching it happen, it's disheartening.  I would like to think I've earned a reputable standing here with the community, and if they did not like something being in my house, thinking it could in this instance cause additional lag for the server, then by all means they should have asked me. . .I was right above them after all. . .

Hope people in this community learn from this mistake. . .turning something completely trivial into a ban-able offense is not wise.  This community is starting to grow again, don't be the stupid one that ruins it for your friends.

Was going to make some snarky comment about people mining all that sand and sandstone for the event without complaining. . .but I figured I could be a little nice this time of year (still made this status though so I stay on the naughty list and get my coal ).

    Why the Gunpowder treason 
    Should ever be forgot!

Sooo uh. . .slightly bad news on my end. . .pretty sure my laptop's hard drive is dying.

Couple weeks ago disk started maxing at 100%, processes at 0%.  Updated my windows for September, which I thought helped, but only for like a week.  Did full computer scan, all clean; checked some hotfixes for disabling Windows Search, Superfetch, and Flash. . .none worked.

Finally yesterday my diagnostics started coming up as fails on Targeted Read Test and SMART Short Self Test.  Research told me these are indicators of hard drive failure, so unless someone can help me out/inform me otherwise, I will be limping along for a while until I work something out.

So if you don't see me on quite as often, that'll be why.  

Excellent character story
