[OOC] The City of Gems

[Archmage MC]

Guys, was there an earthquake on the west coast or in texas? The internet backbone in those areas seems to be out. Or is the main network server that handles the US west grid being DDoSed?

I can tell because a lot of the sites I visit are out, and they're all located in Seattle Washington or California.

@Archmage MC

Well I'm in Cali and haven't had an issue yet.

I'm in FL so I'm no help when it comes to weather questions because in my city we have what we call a weather bubble and so a really bad storm will form and flod out town and no other town. So yeah, weather where I am is really weird pkus we don't get eatherquakes. Instead we get Sinkpoles which are undetectable to my knowledge

[Archmage MC]

I'm thinking there is a problem with the Seattle servers. Something bad probably happened.

OK I found the problem. Apparently I got a piggyback virus from a banner ad. All clean now I hope. At least I know how to get rid of them.

[HaltingBlooper]

I would've responded but I just checked now. Portland, Oregon has no problems, though there was a decent bit of freezing rain. Maybe that has something to do with how long it took to get back up?

[Archmage MC]

Its all good. In the end it was a virus I got from a banner ad. Got rid of it. But yeah, ad companies wonder why people use ad blockers, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY. And apparently Adblocker+ doesn't block all ads anymore...

[rocketrobie2]

@Archmage MC The ads are getting smarter...

[Akayaofthemoon]

@rocketrobie2

Aaaaaand just had a South Park flash back with that comment

[Archmage MC]

@Archmage MC The ads are getting smarter...

@rocketrobie2

This thing has happened since the 90s. Ad network runs an infected ad, and thats how most newage viruses spread.

Speaking of viruses, apparently a whole town was crippled by ransomware. That stuff is really easy to get rid of, so I dunno why they don't just do it.

[Pathfinder]

As a rule I don't watch much anime, but believe you me I'd watch the SHIT out of a magical girl anime where all the magical girls are dudes. Like, all the same vibes and tropes, but with dudes.

[rocketrobie2]

@Akayaofthemoon Lol, I've only seen like two episodes of South Park.

@Pathfinder I don't watch a lot of animal either but that sounds like it would be cool and hilarious to watch. All those ribbons and shite for transformations just with some hairy legged dude.

[HaltingBlooper]

@Archmage MC
Really? Adblock Plus seems to be blocking all the ads I see. It's great how it even keeps track of how many it's blocked. We might be using different things though.

[The1Rolling1Boy]

Anyone else bored? Well if anyone wants to talk about the fusion stuff pm me about it... And on the other hand....

How is everyone today? Has you can tell I'm pretty bored but I'm okayish.

[Kronshi]

@Akayaofthemoon and Everyone Else.

How would you guys feel about me making the opening post? It may not be as long as it needs to be and the Rebellion gems may be stuck with slim ways to move forward until Akaya posts anyways but it would at least get things in motion.

[HaltingBlooper]

I think it's fine.

[The1Rolling1Boy]

@Kronshi I'm okay with it has long has Akaya is too. This is her rp that she created

[Archmage MC]

@Kronshi I'm alright with that. If you can do an establishing thing for rebellion gems we can at least do character building stuff there.

Also apparently Blizzard supports terrorism. Trump will probably be on their case here soon.

[Gutshot]

@Kronshi sounds good.

[Kronshi]

@Archmage MC Considering my character is the leader of the Homeworld forces on earth, I don't think establishing a starting point for the rebellion gems will be easy.

[The1Rolling1Boy]

@Gutshot Oh hey, while your here. I sent a CS to one of you rps that you gm, its the multiverse bar one. I also have already made a introduction post since it's a jump-in one too
