<H2><font color="plum">Cloudy's Cafe</font></H2>

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

<H3>this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone</H3>

* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner

* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!

* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)

* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

<font color="pink">The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.</font>

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchet MS">1St! Post!... Its been a while since Ive done this [img]tongue.gif[/img] </font>

Hi Willow! I was posting it from home before leaving for work. [img]smile.gif[/img]

CD dear, your sig is getting a little long- try to edit it down a bit, please. (actually, you're way over Z's limit, so maybe you could cut half of it and just rotate sig taglines. ) [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sio, you post to IW while your lesson is going on??? *confused*

Opps, I thought it might be... *blush* I'll edit it.. [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol, as soon as i CAN TALK TO db OR dk or SOMETHING [img]tongue.gif[/img] lol, actually, I usually leave my sig off, but as in rush this morning...

*edit. yuk horrible avatar [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe

erm, a q Cloudy, I kinda like my sig pic, but I also like the text, would it be breaching the TOC to have some kinda text that erm, how can I put this? displays "text 1" then changes to "text2" then "text3"? before going back to 1? u know, kinda like a rotational thingy on a loop? hmm, or flashing text, kinda like a 3-6 second interval?

Aw, <font color=aqua>CV</font> it is great (<font color=lavender>Galadria</font> has used it in two games now besides BGII) and I still think it is the greatest portrait ever drawn for any game. But, in IWDII my blonde barby has the portrait that I drool over. Piestrider says that it's "just nasty." But, I didn't even download it, it is a game-provided portrait. :D
Morning, all. Great morning here in Texas. Glorfy, I quite agree that your new sig "rocks and roars." :D

LOL, yeah, yeah you are, *grin* your ALSO the auntie that smacks me [img]tongue.gif[/img] heheh, just as Lady G smacks me... what IS it about females smacking me? am I a *big innocent wide eyes,* a bad wittle elf or something? [img]redface.gif[/img]

Sorry, CD, haven't had a lot of time. Big dinner party last night, and I was sous-chef and waiter. <font colr=lavender>Galadria just posted, though, on "Child."

So i see, *grin* thank her for me would you Att? thanks ;) see, arnt I nice? [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehehe. lol, now to find DB or DK and talk about my sig... bah. Dk's not answering and DBs not on [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Aw, <font color=aqua>CV</font> it is great (<font color=lavender>Galadria</font> has used it in two games now besides BGII) and I still think it is the greatest portrait ever drawn for any game.

</font>[/QUOTE]<font color = aqua> I have to admit Viconia has always been my favorite character to play too. Micah has done a few versions of her (as far as colour goes) and I think he has some of them up on his site. A lot of great ones for NWN and IWD in any case. Does the blonde barby character you like have name. I'm trying to think which one it is you're talking about. Is it the elvish character sitting on a stone? </font>

/me happy, talked to DK getting him to edit my sig :D

Hey guys...well, bye.

Hi BGB, bye BGB... why'd u come on n leave? lol, this isnt spam, not really! btw, how you doing?

I'm doing fine thanks. Just cruising through life as best I can. How is everyone else?

Yep, my lessons are, Business Studies, Accountancy With Computers, IT and Maths, out of all those lessons there is only Maths which I ARENT on the computer :D
I sit at the back in all lessons so I can sit there just browsing the net all lesson, im pretty fast in my lessons so I finish the work in like 10mins and then just spend all the time here in IW's :D
Im very lucky to have such a cool arrangement I think you'd agree hehe :D

:D Dk updated my sig, Cloudy *innocent sweet look* is it to large now? (A)

you know something... I was looking through some old artwrk and i came upon one of the biggest images i'd ever ccreated, something compelled me to mess around with it in photosho and I got this...

http://members.lycos.co.uk/xsk273479/daiohappy.JPG

What do you think?

Odd Dk, whats it supposd to be? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ummmm... I think the old one was better [img]tongue.gif[/img] The characters are too scrunched together. And the *boy* with the sword still look sa little bit *too* much like a girl. ;) I wonder why that is? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

[ 11-07-2002, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: Redblueflare ]

i know but it looks like it was really old and either had bood or tomatoe juice splashed onto it while also being burned by a candel [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Is that supposed to be a good thing? The other one was big yes, but the colors weren't all screwy for one things. This one looks like someone had an accident on it [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Where is the old one anyway? *searches cpu*

No, it is the very first one that comes up when you pick a prtrait. "Barby" is short for "Barbarian." Not like "Barbie Doll." :D

Found it! Now tell me which one looks better? The one above or this? What gave you the idea of messing with it anyway? I know of a way you can improve it. If you have any spare time I mean. Which you obviously have since you bothered to mess with it. :rolleyes:

This was the original, I do belive...

No that was the modified verison. I'm telling ya the one above was the original. What are you doing now anyway? Playing UT again? What map were you rambling about? Fallen something right? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Facing Worlds 3 :D

And I don't play Unreal Tournament...

I FLY!

Here I am In Action!

Even with octojump or whatever you call it you still have to touch the ground eventuall! [img]tongue.gif[/img] How much better exactly is this game than Unreal Tournament? The music is bad or so you said before, but you didn't say much else. What about weapons? Oh and that map is pretty big! :D

[ 11-07-2002, 02:22 PM: Message edited by: Redblueflare ]

The weapons are great, thought i'd much rather have a razor blade shooter rather than this silly "super weapon" satelite gun that only works with a satelite in range and isn't even that strong... The nuke also isnt as cool as it used to be, sure the explosion looks nice, but wheres the actual shockwave that is supposed to kill everything? I just don't see it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The shock sniper hing can be kind of innacurate at times too, and the Duel pistols being replaced with a single assault rifle kind of annoys me with a passion... but aside from that, the rocket launcher, even though having 3 of its original rocket turrets stripped, does fire faster and shoots bigger rockets. I cant help but feel annoyed... Where is the cool texture that displays the name of the player who is in the lead like a scroling banner? Where are the weapon coutners ON the guns? nowhere! T_T kind of sad really... They could do tremendously better wtih it... and have added in Nalis...

*sigh* oh well... i guess that's what 3rd party stuff is for...

What on earth are you two nattering about? Ugh, I just had to give a suppository.

Hi everyone, how you all doin? finally, I am "allowed" to access the net, blah. annoying parents, btw, Kat, why'd you get off msn? lol, if you read this... could you come back on?
