Cloudy's Cafe

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:

this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone

* 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!

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.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a modified reminder that I've posted before in reply to someone asking "can we spam the cafe". It still holds true, so I'm going to repeat it periodically for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Read the first post of the thread, it's NOT a spam zone. If you want to discuss you grades, a problem with a teacher,the weather, your neighbor's new car etc.....etc.. (real life conversations) this is the place. I don't mind a SMALL amount of spam but when the Cafe gets to be 8 pages in one day and it's all one liner pure spam, I have to ask people not to do it because most of the members who would come to talk about their day or things that they want advice or sympathy or cheers on, will not post in that atmosphere. I want you to be comfy here, but not at the expense of other members.

So the answer is NO, I don't want to see page after page of roleplay spam or one liner spamfests that could be done on msn or aim etc. because our goal is to TALK WITH one another , not fill up a cafe in five hours.

HI everyone! Hope you're having a good day! I'm holding down the fort alone again at work so I'm waving hello as I run past the Cafe!

Iced Tea, cookies and extra donuts are on the counter, help yourselves!

Cograts on passing, Xen! Good luck on the next one!

LB, so sorry your folks couldn't work things out. Gotta tell you, though, if I was your mom, I would probably feel the same way. Six months of seeing someone else behind her back has gotta hurt...alot. I wish you and your family the best, Jen. HUG HUG HUG!!!!

[Xen]

Thanks Cloudy. [img]smile.gif[/img] I`ll do my best. I also feel sorry for you LB. Been there, seen that so I know how you feel. Be strong.

That sucks LB. I hope you are all right. My folks have been divorced for along time know and it was not to bad for me. I never felt like I was being pulled in two different directions.

WTG Xen on the passing keep up the good work.

At the new job working today. Been working now for as month and it is going well.Just getting to the point where I can get on and do some posts.

Talk to you all soon.

Links for Attalus:

-You can download them straight from the Neverwinter Nights Hall of Fame. Adam Miller, the maker, is listed second.

-Or, you can go to his
homepage for more background info on the mods and NPC's.

I've played loads of mods, and these are definately the best. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] On another note, if you want to go for the romances; skip the NPC's in the first town and go for the Warrior/Priestess you meet a few minutes later.
