I was bored, so I decided to create this thread for my own "sanity". Features the QOTD (Quote of the Day)
November 2nd, 2009:
I saw 2 or 3 new players today, which is almost the same as every other day. I was also visited by a few people I had seen before. We had a fairly consistent gathering today with 2 people being in the room (excluding myself) nearly all day, and continuing as I write this. Of course, most of their conversations (if not all) were in Spanish or some other completely foreign language to my own (English anyone?). I was going to post an excerpt of the conversation but I was forced to reload the client before I decided to. I have decided to post my favorite quote of the day in the next report(s).

Today I decided to set up camp in the Languid Lounge's snail-like halls. I thought this would be perhaps the easiest room for helping the n00bz. I also decided to write a quick tutorial and save it in notepad so that I could simply copy and paste it into chat instead of having to re-type everything over and over again. An excerpt:
-Hello, I'm Cerdric, and welcome to Rise and Ruin! I'll be your tour guide for this battle.
-I hope you enjoy it and decide to stick around and battle others as well.
-To begin with, the basic premise of an R&R battle is really simple.
-The first player to go chooses a card he wants to attack with, followed by the second player choosing a card to defend against that attack with.
-You do this by either double clicking the card, dragging and dropping it into the action slot, or pressing the corresponding letter (or number) on the keyboard as that cards slot.
-During your attack phase, defense cards are tinted red (and cannot be selected), while during your defense phase attack cards are tinted red (and cannot be selected).
-There is one more premise, and that is "Mana".

I will post the full thing in the player forums for anybody who wishes peruse it. I'll even have a TL;DR version for you lame-O's who don't like reading (sorry, no offense Spore. Ha ha ha...) (Read it here: http://riseandruin.com/node/25995)
Today was rather slow. I posted all over the forums, contributed to the Traders Den, asked a question, made this and posted that thing I just talked about. I saw 4 new people, and no-one else, but it was never a consistent gathering like yesterday. (EDIT: I saw Spore after posting this. We had a good time. The End.) Hardly any of them communicated. Favorite quote of the day: "Cerdric /battle". Did... did he think I was a bot? He followed this with "Cerdric /room". I don't know what that means. Then he left.

Today was uncharacteristically slow (That looks like a long word. These are long words: authoritarianism, antidisestablishmentarianism, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Oh look, I've gone into reciting very long words so that my brain won't focus on the fact that I have been sitting in a room, alone, for the last several- ... Now I've done it.).
I've officially listened to Portal's "Still Alive" (You may or may not be urged to recite a particular line right now. DO NOT.) theme 27 times in a continuous loop (EDIT: 28). All I can say right now is I am not sure if I am still alive...
I saw only one new person for the majority of the day, but it picked up as I was writing this report and ended up being 2 new people and that one... other guy... (EDIT: Sorry, SHE IS A GIRL) plus a user who I thought I didn't know but ended up being Melawe.
There was a general group of two right up until I finished this report. Anyway, there was obviously no conversing before the other group showed up, and I was going to have to pick "Hi" (Cerdric) as the quote of the day, it being the ONLY quote (unless you count xxx has entered/left the room, because those are pretty amazing...).
Today's QOTD: "I AM A GIRL!" (UltraPink) Totally out of the blue: her gender was never questioned or alluded to by anyone else (I hadn't posted this yet...).

Today, November 5th, 2009:
Twoudaiy was slooooww. I'm still holed up inside the languid halls. I've found that I have begun imagining the sounds of clangs, "de-doos", and beeps.
I saw but one new person today, and Sporrrre! Nothing really notable today, except I may or may not have begun conversing with myself.
Today's Quote Of The Day: "sharing movies, live using social media...!" (Spore) One of Spore's random thoughts 2.5 seconds before leaving. There was hardly any messages today.
Don't judge me. Soon I will need to put nails through my hands to prove that I am still alive, unlike the visions I have been seeing around me of other warriors.
Hopefully, tomorrows FNF will grant me a much needed reprieve with its promise of quasi-intelligent (human) talkingness.

Today, April 19th, 2010:
I have recently awoken from my hunger-induced slumber to find myself laying on the floor of the Veterans League. Today, I began noticing I have been experiencing delusions of the game becoming abandoned. The much needed relief of FnF has disappeared and I fear as much for the rest of the game that I currently hold my residence in.
I have taken to repeatedly smashing my head into rocks in order to try and build up my strength stat, seeing as how there is no other player powerful enough for me to gain experience from... It has not worked so far, but I do believe I now hold fealty over every large, solid object in the Training Grounds. QOTD: The sound of my head smashing into rocks. - Cerdric. I guess I shall simply return to sleep and await news of a resurgence.
Thus ends Captains Log: Stardate WTF.
More to come. (EDIT: These will likely continue once the game is back in open beta and I have things and what not to actually report. Started out of intense boredom.)
Darn Captchas...
OMG UNICODE ?§ÆÐ?Ê?U-B?.????? <--- FUUUUUUUUU
