Sales, Ebay, and the great Egyptian god prototype swap!
My sales post still has loads of stuff, rarities, bottles, decants of all kinds of LEs!
I am adding more rare scents. I have added Agony of Loss, Emathides, Count Dracula bottles, still have Tamamo No Mae. I may put some of my 'swap only' scents up for sale or auction.
My latest bunch of bottles on Ebay ends tomorrow.
And I know I should post these sorts of requests in the right thread, but I thought I'd add it here too. I have a bottle of Set, from the last DD, that needs a new home. In keeping with the spirit of Egyptian mythology, I'd love to swap this tempestuous and cantankerous desert god of chaos (who sadly, does not work on my skin-curse you, dragon's blood!) for the more ordered and fertile aura of his brother Osiris (provided he doesn't get murdered by Set in transit, that's ok!) or his shadowy and mysterious wife Nepthys. I wouldn't say no to Sekhmet either. But it'll be more fun swapping Set for Osiris/Nepthys! Check out my rares here.

All aboard the ADD train
Let's get this out of the way first: lolgaiaonline. I know. That will be your comment. Whatever. My excuse is that I joined a tournament with standards. It's literate, has a power cap, and everything.
Apparently, they don't filter out everyone.
I understand that people have lives, but at least make an effort to post. When we're having an RP right, just fucking post. I don't care about the quality right now; I just want someone who will actually respond.
Here's how it's been so far: My first match, the guy NEVER EVEN SHOWS UP. I personal message him and everything, but he never even acknowledges that the tournament began. Hello? Why did you sign up and take a slot if you're not going to follow through? At least all the other no-shows said something!
So, I get a replacement. He posts once a day. These fights are eight days long, by the way, but that's beside the point. The point: When I make a move that guarantees his defeat and earning me two points in the 6-point judging system, he spontaneously stops posting. Never posts again. I'm robbed by poor sportsmanship.
Thankfully, I win anyway, and into round two. Everything seems to be going well for a while, with a guy that posts more than once a day...and then he disappears. Didn't say anything in the absence thread, just poofs. My post: July 10. His last login: July 12. YOU COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING. The absence thread is there for a reason.
I entered this tournament--which I have no chance of getting even into Top 4--to have fun. But I can't if my partners have the attention span of GlaDos's curiosity core.
current mood:  annoyed

X-men fic "Captive Hearts" (Chpt 4/10)
Title: Captive Hearts (4/10)
Author: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) stormkpr
Rating: PG-13 (or a mild R)
Genre: General, drama, relationship
Summary: The X-men are imprisoned, not by FOH but by a “kinder” government that is being pressured to keep mutants off the streets. The male X-men are separated from the women on their team, which is causing much angst – especially since Rogue and Remy were close to having a solution to their touch problem, Jean is pregnant with her and Scott’s first child, and Storm and Wolverine were just starting up a relationship.
Pairings: Romy, RoLo, Jott, Bobby/JP, and Carly/Hank
Disclaimer: The usual. I don’t own these characters and no copyright infringement is intended here.

Can anybody repro this?
So we're getting scattered reports of people coming to our various game pages, clicking on the green button that lets them view a little video to preview the game, and not being able to see the video.
Specifically, today I got a report of one of our affiliates in France having this issue on our French site. He's using IE 8, although I do not yet know what OS he's using it on, or what version of Flash he may have installed. And I need more data.
The behavior he sees is that he goes to the page, clicks on the green button, and gets a little popup window that's supposed to have the video playing in it, but which doesn't. I can't repro this on my IE 8 system here at work (XP SP3). Can any of y'all?
Steps for repro:
1) Go to this game page
2) You should see a green button with the caption "Regarder la video"; click on that
3) A popup should appear with the video launching to play within it, and a green button that says "Fermer la video". However, if you can repro the problem, you should not see the video; you'll just see the button.
If you can repro this behavior consistently, let me know what OS and browser you're running, and ideally, what version of Flash you have as well. In theory we're only supposed to work on Flash 9 or later; if you have older versions you shouldn't see the button for the video at all. Also be sure to let me know if you're running a 64-bit system vs. a 32-bit one.

You love sunsets, the open range, and the freedom of the west... it would be a stretch to say that such things make you happy, though. All you see around you is darkness and greed; everywhere men go, they bring with them the darker side of nature. All you can do is escape to your ranch and become one with the part of nature that mankind hasn't yet corrupted, keeping an eye on the evening redness in the west, looking for that glimmer of hope that pierces the darkness. What a fun guy.

toxic avenger
I was reading an article about cupping (where they put a heated glass bubble on your back & create a vacuum to draw out toxins) which claimed that you only bruise if you have lots of toxins, and that in the worst case scenario the bruises will fade in about five days.
If that is the case, I must be the Toxic fricking Avenger, man. I should have *superpowers*, dammit.
Also, Harry Potter was perfectly fine. It’s a Harry Potter movie. :)

Chaos Fairy; Warrior shipping news
Warrior shipping news first:
>< Sorry, no news from Puddin' and not yet packaged! I've managed to decant the bath oils and two vials of perfume, but I'm still having sitting-up problems, and brother is not to be bribed from his videogames. Cousin comes down this weekend though...so Monday I'll hopefully have the people's out who wanted it out.
*~*~*~
Chaos fairy, to help ward off the chaos for those going to Dark Delicacies and Convergence! [Please no pot of random numbers ;-;]
Two bottles of CTIV are up! No brain for story now, so:
1. International sniffers welcome! $1 for shipping please? No shipping for U.S.
2. Please no playing if you've caught two or more fairies
3. Leave a funny story/anecdote as a comment and tomorrow in the morning I shall choose two random people.
4. As with the other fairy packages I owe, they will go out as soon as I can manage ><
I go lay down now ~_~

question on flying with BPAL
First off, I'm sure this has been asked tons of times but I didn't really find anything obvious looking at the tags; read back for a bit but I've gotta go pack!
I'm about to go away from home for a month and I am going to be flying domestically with an imp of Snow Angel and some other LEs that I would be rather heartbroken if I lost. I did search the forum and the best idea I saw was bubble wrapping a few imps together and labeling the plastic bag with something like "5 vials fragrance/perfume oil" so that it's clear what it is. But then I got nervous that that might attract even more attention, so I'm kind of at a loss for what to do!
So what are your experiences flying with BPAL, and what do you feel is the safest way to travel with them? I do have the option of putting them in checked baggage; I feel slightly apprehensive about having the precious separated from me but if that has a better chance of passing through unnoticed, I'll take it. It's ultimately sad when security makes you feel more nervous about traveling (I'm also rather scared that my macbook pro might be manhandled), but there it is. >_>
Also, I have a full never-used bottle of Goblin of Yuletide past atmosphere spray that I will never use (not much for those things, but with Snow Angel having been my holy grail since I got into BPAL and someone kind on the forum taking pity on a newbie and sending me an imp, I think you can figure out what I did as soon as the news of the Yuletide inquisition came out... ;) I'm not really well-versed with what it's worth and what people might be willing to swap for it -- I searched and saw $25 being the most common price on the forum, though. So, opinions on that too, please? Thanks so much, guys :D
ETA: Thank you everyone for your various travel tips and reassurance that really, no, I'd be fine just having them unlabeled in my ziploc baggie! I tried to get a thank you comment out to everyone who commented, and hopefully I didn't overlook anyone! <3
