    Communiwhatafish
    noun
    A rare vertebrate known for its ability to let others know what's going on. Communiwhatafish have been sighted on Planet Arkadia, where it is believed this new species may have originated.

    The Communiwhatafish is a rare improbability indeed, the practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear, you can instantly understand what's being said to you in any form of language.

    Hopefully it is imune to the Mindarkian leech's ability to stifle all life that draws near within the communicational subspecies attracted to this Universe. The Mindarkian leech's support system has a knack for boring its prey to death by repeating things instantly while trying to baffle the prey.

    To be honest, I kinda like this MindArks "the black box" way * - allthough it might make community managers life shiet. Now, Mr Chen, I sincerely wish you'll hang in there since you really impressed me by approaching our small community of ugly but nice (with just few exceptions) finns. :)

    * MindArk made several drastic changes to clear the road for planet partners. Those changes had to be done anyway due to instability in skill levels of the playerbase: Eventually CND rush caused a very large group of midlevel players without "supporting" mass of newcomers etc. The whining will go on until the planet partners AND the existing community does what they need to do: draw some gamers (not investors) in. Growth! Growth! Growth! (and the Scapa which I'm enjoying right now!) :)

    Communiwhatafish can be very complex when combined with Dynamicmybutt ...

    Hmmm personally I prefer to leave out the dynamicmybutt when I eat communiwhatafish... it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

    Hey Kalenen, I'm hanging on nicely with one finger. Trying not to look down below. Pretty scary prospect of dropping down into the bottomless pit.

    Appreciate that you've mentioned it again (Finnish forum) and I reckon its the third time. Hahahaha. Others might think you're working for us. :p

    Hehe well Cyrus.. there is a FPC run event going on, this is a non calypso based mob, and it does not produce any decay.. Obviously it will be a non looting mob for quite some time by standard Mindarkian rules.

    Just a quickie to say great job on the newsletter! It worked very nicely to get me browsing Arkadia links while having my weekend wake up coffee :)

    thanks for the newsletter and the facebook updates. Was glad to be pointed to some key forum topics through the newsletter when i've got a such a busy real life going on it's nice for someone else to do the work of finding and pointing out the important stuff.

    Yo Cyrus. Nice to have a person to speak to.

    Now since you are the "front man" ... what about to spread a few screenshots, ehh? ;-)

    ... and btw: any chance to meet you at Calypso until Arkadia goes online?

    Ooops ... read the newsletter. Are you really interested in translations of the entire story to other languages?

    I am from Germany ... probably I can do the job for german translation.

    Glad you guys like it. :eek: Was pretty nervous getting it out for the first time. It's definitely a learning experience for me and I can't wait to write the next newsletter already. Hee.


    Yo Jamira, I'll be releasing screenshots in time to come, but it won't be in November. :rolleyes: As for meeting in Calypso, there will be a clash of interest if you know what I mean. A better alternative would be to send me a pm. We're very receptive to ideas, so do feel free to share. ;)

    And yes! I'm REALLY interested to have the stories translated to German! It'd be great if you could get on to it. Woooot...can't wait to compile the full stories in different languages. Thanks mate.

    Really?

    I don't mean we're all children of MindArk (oops! but we are), but there has to be a meeting point. Calypso sounds okay to me.

    Therefore I challenge you to rub-to-death duel with unamped opalos.

    So?

    I signed up to have them when I registered for the forum. I dont do facey page or twitter but I did get on board for emails.

    CB, maybe check your spam filter/junkmail box, see if the email got blocked?
