My cousin Jon Thomann has been in the hospital the last week. He fell down a flight of concrete stairs and did some major damage to his head that required brain surgery. He has not fully become consious yet, but there are indications that he is becoming more active. This has been a trying time and has been hard on all of us.
Please pray for his recovery. If you would like to know more about his current situation, his girlfriend, parents and brother are keeping us all updated with this website/blog:

If you would like to help out financially, there has been a new Support Fund recently set up. You may send checks to the
Jon Thomann and Family Support Fund

back to sweating...
My ongoing mob marching band usually gets me dead... so I think I'll start heading back to Port Atlantis Mall to sweat a while...
Combibo do give evade, just not as fast as some higher level mobs...?
Ok.. so maybe they do...
Fade got a hof. Congratulations dude!

Interesting Omegatron bug...
Noticed last night that I saw "the bug" again in Omegatron. I think this is a 3d rendering bug of some sort... or some sort of convex/concave 3d mesh issue.
For some reason, the walls on the shops on the basements of the buildings at Omegatron seem to dissappear when looking from the inside of the building at the shops. Part of it may be that my computer's slowness doesn't render all the massive number of objects in the shops or the walls or something, but this is a bug I've seen a number of times. Usually it looks like the shop just isn't there or just parts of the walls are and they are transparent. In the past, this has happened and was mainly a visual thing... but last night, for the first time ever, I noticed that my avatar could jump through the wall and land outside of the building.
In other words the wall object wasn't there at all from the inside of the building, but was from the outside. Looking in at the wall from outside you could see the wall textures and it was solid if avatar walked up to it. However, from inside avatar would see outside, like the wall wasn't there, and could just hop on through and land on the sidewalk outside of the building.
It's annoying, especially if you are trying to shop there since the walls in the shops won't show up and the objects for sale there don't show up either. Relogging in sometimes fixed the problem, but I did notice last night that relogging in twice, the same thing was happening... It was only on third relog after about 15-20 minutes of being away from the computer that the walls were normal and the shop was too, on both the inside and outside.
Something sort of interesting about all of this, if you see my previous post, is that there was a flanx running around right next to the tp... so this bug may be the cause of that, or some uber is?... either way, it's something interesting that's happening around omegatron. Use it to your advantage, if it does happen, and you can find some way to use it to advantage? Maybe you can manage to get a mob to stand outside of a building somehow and shoot it or sweat it from inside?
On a good note, after the shops started acting right again for me, I bought up several blueprints at tt+1 that had market values much higher than that. I am not sure if I'm going to try to auction these off or not. I wanted to buy the transparency bp but was about 1 ped short... it was priced at something like tt+10 but had market value of tt+15 or so.
When I did buy the bps that I did buy and put them in my equipment book, the icon in the inventory for the book got a lock and chain on it. I'm assuming this means the book is going up in value or something...??? Never had that happen before. Maybe it means the book has over 50% of the bps in it now or something?
I also did a lot of window shopping around there. I'd really love to be able to buy some stuff from that Salamander Armor Shop... but my name isn't Bill Gates... or Donald Trump... so I don't think I'll be buying that pricey stuff for a long while, if ever.

Met a Falxangius at Omegatron
I met a Falxangius at Omegatron's TP last night. Guess even the mobs need to go shopping now and then.

My opalo lost it's quickkey icon...
Probably just some sort of bug. I took out the a101 and repaired both it and the opalo, and then the icon had this no icon logo on it. Take a look at the screen print.
Note: after relogging in, the icon is back...

EA Hunts
The Entropia Asia Society in Entropia Universe has started doing weekly hunts on Saturdays. Last week we went after a bunch of stuff North of Twin Peaks. Next week, I think the plan is to go Hogglo huntin. Unfortunately, Maria's out of peds since she's been wasting ammo on snables around Billy's lately, so she may not join these hunts for a while til she can get some peds built up. She currently has a Katsuichi Honor on the auction block for a good price to help alleviate this problem, so check out the auctions...

Maria's getting to like this Pumpkin Head thing. I think the rotting Pumpkin smell in that thing is starting to get to her head and she's taking a liking to smell of Death. Here she is next to her new best bud in EU.
Her new found friend has told her that she needs to start increasing her skills in evade, alertness and courage, among others, so she has started a new hobby... running between Billy's and Camp Phoenix picking up every dang mob along the way, dubbing herself the "Pied Piper"... She lets her newfound friends all give her freebie skill gains as she has fun with the local yocels who tp in, showing them her marching band's new maneuvers...
If you see Maria coming, get ready to take evasive manuevers or get the hell out of the way. The pumpkin headed bitc4 is comin at ya.
