Intro
(Post #2)

Hmm...who ever thought I'd be questing again? Well, my sister boombaibe proposed that we quest together. Now, isn't that an insane suggestion? Since the thread proves that I'm back in the questing business...well, here I am, and now, welcome the boombaibe - she's new at this. XD

Both boombaibe and I seriously don't mind if we are unable to obtain any help on our questage - the thread is just here to be a log for our progress. Of course, we may accept donations, but if we have to work for the majority of it, then we will. o.o;

Anyhow, if you'd like to drop by and wish us good luck, we can and will thank you for that. However, if you wish to advertise your quest in our thread in a manner that is not allowed in this forum, then we will not be thankful. Please keep all advertising of your quest in your signature, and nowhere else - this also includes "I bump you, so bump me back" messages. confused

In the words of boombaibe:

boombaibe

If you want to advertise your quest in here, become an affiliate.

Ahh...yes - for those of you who are familiar with me, Eku53ru - you'll notice that this thread is called "The Lair of the Potato People" - if you want to know what the heck this alludes to, drop down all the way to post thirteen.

Rules
Subject to change at any given time.

Be polite, courteous, and all that stuff.
Follow the Gaia TOS.
Don't stretch the page.
No quote towers. Small ones with around two posts are okay, but not six.
Don't advertise outside of your signature - that's what affiliation is for. Go to the Affiliates post for more info.
If you piss boombaibe off, your a** is grass. =)

Thank-You Gifts
(Post #10)

Well, if you donate a reasonably large sum to either boombaibe or I (Eku53ru), you will be sent a hand-drawn image of your avatar as a thank-you gift. It's as simple as that. The only catch is that since this a gift, be prepared to wait a while - school is session, so I might be too busy to draw something quickly enough.

If you want something done speedily, then I can whip up something in MS Paint done for you. The main rule of thumb is, well...the more you donate, the prettier the drawing looks. It also depends on our mood for the drawing, too - if I (Eku53ru) am not in a drawing mood...no drawing will be produced. @_@

More will be added to this on a need-to-know basis. surprised

boombaibe's Updates/Ramblings
(Post #11)

August Nineteenth @4:59 PM: Wow. It's been a while. sweatdrop School's just started up, not to mention life is always happening, so I currently have no items that I am questing for. I'm currently a senior in high school, which equates even less time for me to be online due to college applications, and all that other good stuff that goes along with graduating (OMG! I GRADUATE!!!). A huge thank you goes out to my donators because, well, you guys are awesome. whee If I left anyone out, feel free to send me a PM demanding my firstborn or something of the sort. lol

February Nineteenth @ 5:16 PM: I just blew about 10k tying up some loose ends on my questing items list. I shall now attempt to try to wear my new gear. Okay, so maybe I can't wear a pinstripe shirt and a flex top at the same time. D: I'll show it off periodically. whee I'm still unsure if I should upgrade my rod since I don't fish all that much anymore... And I'm looking for a Grass Stripe Sleeve Sweater since it isn't in the shops anymore. D: PM me with a price and we'll talk. cool

January Sixth @ 8:41 PM: I posted a vague outline of my new quest item list. No colors have been decided, and I figured it was safe not to capitalize. The post will be more specific, as well as grammatically correct, at a later point in time. The items are still up in the air, meaning that I might not want them at some point. Like the fishing rod. xd I don't fish much anymore, and I shouldn't waste money on something I'm not going to use. sweatdrop There's some major thinking to be done. xd

December Eleventh @ 1:55 PM: I've saved up enough to finish purchasing everything off my wishlist, but I'm not sure if I want to do that. I'm contemplating getting some Christmas gifts for some people on Gaia, but I'm not too sure. confused I kinda wanna go shopping for furniture to furnish my Gaian home, cause mine is kinda boring. All I have is makeshift furniture, and that looks kinda tacky... xp I think I'll wait to raise some more money before deciding on what to do with it. sweatdrop

Watch Veronica Mars Wednesdays at 9 PM on UPN! pirate

November Twenty-Third @ 11:44 PM: I got my ballerina's circlet! whee Don't I just look sexy? whee I'm close to finishing my list... Only have to raise about five thousand gold to finish it. biggrin I'll keep an eye out for more quest items. lol Long live LoVe! Down with V/D!!! And I heart Bob!

Be sure to watch Veronica Mars Wednesdays at 9 PM on UPN! pirate

August Thirtieth, 2005 @ 7:37 PM: I'm poofed. School shall be the death of me crying Kaykay got evicted a week after he went back in, and the Soverign is slowly falling apart. The only people left are Howie and Janelle. cry Veronica Mars starts up soon, as does all the new seasons of television shows. DVDs are also coming out. Closest is Lost on September 6th. xp Too tired to think... *headdesk*

August Eighth, 2005 @ 8:11 AM: Yes. I'm crazy. Waking up this early to do stuff online. Click HERE and vote for KAYSAR! heart Go vote!!! domokun Vote for Kaysar! The king deserves to come back. whee Not much going on except that... Well... Watching the tube like a druggie does drugs... I'll try to watch Regis and Kelly later, but only after I check their website to see if they have nice guest stars on. whee Vote for Kaysar!!!! pirate And watch Veronica Mars Wednesdays at 9 PM on UPN! pirate

August Fourth, 2005 @ 1:32 AM: Setting up of quest thread finally begins. Finally starts to look like an actual quest. More tweaking to be done at later times. Show boombaibe you love her by watching Veronica Mars Wednesday at Nine on UPN! pirate
Feel free to talk about the US Big Brother Six here cause I'm addicted. whee

Eku53ru's Updates/Ramblings
(Post #12)

31 July 2008 - Finally paid off the money I owed boombaibe for the Grunny. TTwTT
26 April 2008 - Wohoo, the first update of the year. XD This quest thread is still kinda alive...I think. @_@
08 June 2007 - Yeah, that's right - long time no see. XD School's been keeping me busy like no tomorrow, so I haven't found much time to really quest. It's becoming more difficult with each passing month to buy monthly letters, but eh - I manage. @w@
02 November 2006 - Whoa...really long time no update. XD College life is kicking me endlessly, so expect me on Gaia (or even the internet eek ) for fewer hours a day.
09 July 2006 - Whoa, long time no update. X_X Anyhow, I fixed up (and adjusted) my quest posts. And for anyone that may care, I'll be scanning and uploading the whole lot of avatar art that I drew in December '05 hopefully by the end of August. You'll be able to see the images by clicking on the names in the gold amount post. =)
16 January 2006 - A good friend of mine on Gaia left today. You will be sorely missed, Lei-chan. Good luck with life. T-T
08 January 2006 - Holy crap, an old friend/acquaintance of mine visited from a thread I used to be a regular in. And he donated 25k. XOX That's going to hold me down for a while. @___@
11 December 2005 - Putting a good chunk of my quest on hold until I'm through with Holiday shopping - outfit/presents included. Random items on my wishlist may appear and be "bought" at the same time because of this. >_>; <_<;
03 December 2005 - Got my Black Aero-D Pants, thanks to a donation from my friend, Mystic. X3; And...I got a Pinklink today. How weird.
13 November 2005 - Got my Ducky. ^-^; But boombaibe dressed me up. D:
22 October 2005 - First rare event in over six months. I got a blue giftbox...it's #7. Got a Fox Tail and sold it for 7,500g. XD
20 October 2005 - That's it. Mr. Ducky must be mine. I think I'll lay off the monthly Sealed Envelope until I can at least tackle that. x_x
02 October 2005 - Eh...sparse updates, gomen. ._.; Gaia has become harder to visit because of school...and other internet activities. x_x
13 September 2005 - By some freak chance, I managed to buy a Sealed Envelope. Yay. Now I'm back to 0g again. XD
28 August 2005 - Got another donation, and I bought my first quest item a week or two ago. XD Yay. o_OV
09 August 2005 - Got my first donation today. X3
04 August 2005 - We've gotten time to finish working on this quest. o_o; Most of it's done, but a bit of it still needs work. XD Oh well.

Mr. Flibble Information/Origin of Thread
(Post #13)

Mr. Flibble, our quest mascot, is a penguin puppet that appeared in the episode of Red Dwarf titled "Quarantine", when Rimmer got infected with the Holo-Virus. He has not returned in any of the remaining episodes, but his appearance has been documented on an easter egg in the fifth season box set of Red Dwarf. A picture of Mr. Flibble can be seen on the first post.

Our quest title is adapted from a quote that Rimmer said while infected with the Holo-Virus.

Rimmer

So, let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People and plead with him for your freedom, and you're telling me you are completely sane?!

[edit]: potato chips are heart . seriously. how can you go wrong with potato chips? whee
