each of a gnome's senses are particularly sharp,
our vision and hearing tuned as fine as a harp.
keenness of touch and of taste serve us well,
but our achilles' heel is our sense of smell... 
you could knock us all out with one goblin fart.

have you missed the gnome?
and his poetic ramblings?
well... i've missed you too.

- sbbenhcs, the procrastinate laureate


yep, i know... i know... i've been neglecting my poetic license. my bad. but i've got a REALLY good excuse: i've been planning (and preparing for) my own wedding. i think that give me some kind of scummy dispensation, right? i'll see if i can get back in the swing of a weekly post, now that my brain isn't quite so mushy...




just to clarify, i'm the one with the idiot grin. (it's been two weeks already, and we're still married... i think we'll make it. =p)

Birthday Bashes & More (Oct. 13)

Gather around scum and lowlifes alike, the Severed Tongue has a new first on this server. Da round man himself has managed to be the first to max the cost of his STR stat. Yes that is right. It costs Quilp 10,000,000 gold to increase his STR stat by just one. Insane? Definitely, but at least it won't get any more expensive then that...

ScumFlash: Weird HoF (UPDATE)

I screencapped our HoF standings over the past couple of days with an idea for a future post once we had hit top 15 again. But I have to post it sooner than that... Seriously... this is just weird.

Sunday September 7:


Monday September 8:


Tuesday September 9:


UPDATE: It is a shame we didn't hit 66 because I could have continued... I'm stuck at HoF spot 55.



Our guild AND our holiday home are stuck at dungeon 44...



Zimmi has been #33 in the HoF for quite some time now


 Alyxyn is sticking to #22 like it is the leg of Ciciz


And our friends from Zenith are on #11


Weird huh? Now... I'm NOT saying that it is Aliens... but... it is definitely Aliens!

  • With D43 and D44 beaten our holiday home is completely decorated now
  • That means 26 dungeons beaten in just two weeks.
  • That means loads of gold donated and loads of scum checking in.
  • Let's see how D45 goes here and then let's fight our way back to the top of the HoF

Oh, you wanted to see the pictures too? Here we go!
D43 Ragorth the Bandit: As we can very clearly remember, Ragorth the Vengeful likes to cheat. But we've gotten a bit bigger since last time. This time it is Badness to slap him back to reality. Thank you for that Badness.

D44 Slobba the Mudd: And here we finally are again. Back to our cozy guildstats of 188%. And if Dolgan has to turn a Slobba the Mudd into a real fatty stain in the process, then so be it. (am I the only one surprised that apparently the dungeons don't have their own name anymore?)

DungeonParty: Climbing back to the top III (Update D42)

We're almost back at our normal guildstats and we didn't even had to really try yet. Silly game is silly.

Sorry, no funny attempts today, maybe tomorrow. Don't forget to say hi to Nanoucka while you are here.

 D39 The Old Cemetery: Where the werewolf got wooped by Woopydoo.

D40 Primordial Beasts: Dolgan gives the Crococpter a stare till he runs away, I wonder who the primordial beast is here.

UPDATE I: D41 and D42
 D41 The Black Magic Mountain: I can imagine Dolgan leaving Gripcut the Ghastly to Woopydoo... damn she is ugly...

D42 Gragosh's Dread: The empty stare of Dolgan Elfbane against the fiery eyes of Grogosh the Destroyer and you wonder who would win? Seems like some of our scum won't be able to come in action till we hit D45 again. Woopy and Dolgan are not very sharing at the moment.

FreshScumFlash: Nanouchka

We interupt our usual broadcast for an important message. I don't think it happens often, that a player from a top 15 guild willingly joins a guild that is outside the top 100. Sure sure, it is a guild with the 3rd best guildstats on the server and sure it is the holiday home of the most fun guild in the Shakes&Fidget universe. But still, important enough to tell you about it and interrupt the dungeonstory.

So.... are you ready for it? Meet Nanouchka, a level 229 blue pussyriding mage with a decently filled scrapbook of almost 91% (now work on maxing it ;-). And to make it more interesting: also a french Canadian from Montreal that had to look up the meaning of the word scum. I mean... is that a winner or not? Even AAylia might like her instantly, as she is a potential nightstalker with a love for revolutions, banana's and Elvis Presley. I feel the bonding molecules just burning through the guild already.

Let's hope Nanouchka can find her ass on that map she has in her pocket, cause sometimes I have the feeling we have a shortage of smart lowlifes. So give here a warm scummy welcome and don't blame her for lowering our guild averages (Average level went down by 1 and average scrapbook went down by 0.3%), because I'm sure she'll work very hard at fixing that as soon as she can.

Nanouchka, I hope you have fun here. I if you have any questions (for instance why it is a good idea to replace those shoes, and probably that terror tunic) or just need directions out of AAylia's dungeon, just ask. And please don't mind the backstabbing, that is just monkeylove.

Dungeonparty: Climbing back to the top II (Update: D38)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back. We'll I am anyway. Seems I have missed quite some dungeons over the past couple of days. I'm sure there have been lots of giggles and jolly backstabbing. Oh Narc, I have a message from Minnie Mouse, she wants her dresses back.

Twenty down Six more to go.

D33 The Predators' Feast: I can't remember the last time I saw r34lg33k so happy. I guess it is a tranny lover thing that sets off whenever you come near big mouths... (tis your call if you want to add "of Doom" to that statement) or was it Adam's apples...
 
D34 Monkey Business: This is the first dungeon Redwood18 had to step in. And I'm not sure if it is my sick mental health, or she just gave Ping Pong a double nipple twister....

UPDATE I: D35 and D36

D35 The Booger population: Here we can see the power of checking in. More scum check in and g33k can play hero of the day again. That or r34lg33ks attraction to man-holes is even bigger then we already suspected...

D36 Dodging the Blade: I call cheats on Woopydoo. How in the hell can someone dodge all those blades Shniva is whirling around when you're not even a scout AND wearing eye patches for being blind. And don't say the force was with him, because I would have known...

UPDATE II: D37 and D38

D37 In the Dark of the Night: Sometimes I have the feeling we're doing these dungeons backwards... I'm not sure how many scum Dolgan Elfbane had to bribe to not check in, but that is the only reason I can come up with why he had the chance to get rid of the AfterDarkor. Sure, they're rumored to sleep on a bed of hallucinogenic fungi bu.... oooooh... now I get it... I hope it was worth it Dolgan, you KNOW that stuff rots your brain right?

D38 Asocial combuston Point: See... this looks far more likely. Although I doubt if anyone would call Iola Asocial (I wouldn't, she scares the hell out of me...). And surprise surprise Blue beats Red. That being said, I have the feeling that mr Armored Fire Dragon hasn't realised yet what happened to him. Something about an Ass, Iola's heavy boots and lot's of kicking I'm sure.
