Ghh, sorry I haven't been posting. My schedule is absolutely killing me this semester, and it's probably gonna be like that until summer. XP
@JK: Wow, I didn't realize the underwear sold for so much. o.o
Well, I've come to realize there actually is a dumpster dive on Gaia; it's where you get peoples' items that they threw away. So did you throw an item away recently? Maybe that person got it.
Is the novel at least good?
@Hawk: I don't care who the NPC is or how much I like them; I don't want anyone's used underwear. What if they have jock itch fungus or something?!
@JK: I've always liked Nicolae. XD His weirdness just makes him more appealing to me. Though my favorite is Devin; I wish he was a more popular character.

Not "the" underwear, "Ruby's" underwear, haha. Nicolae's is worth like nothing. I haven't searched to see what the going rate is on anybody else. But yea Ruby's average buy rate was listed around 45K, and all 3 listings were at 70K+ (though I don't seem to have notice any of them having moved since I sold mine), so eyes goggling I just listed mine at around 45K (at what it would be to give me 45K after the 2% deduction). And it sold. Mind boggled, but thrilled. Between selling that, a few of the angle imp potions I've gotten in daily dumpster diving (for about 13K each) and a few dragon tattoos (cost 200G + the ink I get out of D-dive, sell for 9000 - 2000G) I've made over 120,000K in the past couple of days. This has been most excellent as between Christmas and a few accessories I was feeling quite poor.
Anyhow I have a 1500 page novel to read, and am only at just under page 500. I need to read 100 more today (it's 7:15pm) and then 300 everyday over the next 3 days to have it done in time. After today we'll see if I get on again before Monday. *dies* The novel is great actually, it's just SO long. It's not just 1500 pages it's tiny tiny print (which makes reading it a bit painful because it's a beast to hold up but putting it down it's hard to see). So it takes me 2-3 minutes to read a page. Do the math on what an investment this has been. However now it's a pride thing, I can't give up if it kills me!
OOOOOOH! Yes, I have, that makes sense. I noticed recently it's said "donate" rather than trash. Now I understand, hmm...had it not been so long since I got the message I'd message the guy back and ask what he got. Mostly I trash stuff that I don't want that would sell only for a couple gold on the market (not worth the hassle of posting it, and some things won't even sell for 1G) and has no market value to sell back.
Hmm...virtual jock itch...interesting concept. I do like Devin but yea he's nowhere near favorite status. Moira is probably my favorite female NPC. Edmund and Ian male (though I do rather like Liam and Louie).

Ah, got it. So only Ruby's undergarments are valuable. XD Probably because it's a bra, so doesn't have the jock itch thing going on. It's nice to make so much money in one go though, isn't it? I just lost that much gold by purchasing the Ascended Demon this month. XD;;
Wow, that's like... what, 70 hours of your time right there? Well at least it's a good book. I'd say I invested that much time in reading It, and it's like my favorite novel, so it was time well spent. XD
And I just tried the dumpster dive for the first time today, and it gave me the option to contact the person who's item I got, so I figured that's how they got to you. XD
Haha, the only one of your favorite male characters I like a lot is Edmund. I like Ian well enough, but don't care for Louie and Liam is like my least favorite character all around. For female characters, Natasha and Sam are my favorites, but I also like Moira and Vanessa.

Yea but it might have sweaty boob rash (ok I know that's a quote but I cannot remember from where xd )!! I have no idea if only Ruby's. I can just testify that Ruby's trumps Nicolae's. Granted I think DC got filled with Nicolae's pants (I keep getting in trouble here - as in England - for saying pants, because pants = underwear here. I can't stop, habit!!) when he was new so it's possibly a saturation thing. I'd have to do a search on other NPCs to see what's what on the break down. All I know is that atm Ruby is valuable. razz
Yea I've probably spent that much time in reading a lot of things multiple times (probably spent like 5x that reading Harry Potter), but one novel. ONE novel, it's just...oye. And as we progress from less in Clarissa's perspective to more in her evil manipulative suitor's perspective I'm not liking it as much. And not just in that he's evil and manipulative, that is the drama, he's just such a boring writer half the time. He goes on and on and on to no particular end. Like as much as I want the novel to be shorter there is a method to Clarissa carrying on, not so much with virtually any other character who has a great deal of prominent time dedicated to them (i.e. the villain lover Lovelace and the best friend Anna). Ok I will shut up about the novel so I can get back to it.
Yea I just tried it too since there was the announcement about it. So yup immediately realized, and now not too pressed that I never answered back. Next time I might though, just to be friendly. ^_^
Why am I not surprised you dislike Liam? Hahaha. I really like Sam as well. Sasha is probably my least favorite female character, and I kinda like Rina though she's very background. Oh actually I dislike Flynn, what's her face (the EI person who abuses Timmy - I miss Timmy!!) and the fish store girl more than Sasha.

Haha, well I've heard you can get the jock itch fungus under your boobs too. XD;; Anyway, I don't know if I care enough to do research on the value of the undergarments of various NPCs.
Ya know, I kind of thought over how much you said you had to read, and if you needed 300 pages a day... that's like 15 hours. So all you'd pretty much do is read, sleep, and eat.
Haha, I can't stand him. XD But yeah, I hate Flynn, Singh, and Mirai more than Sasha, though don't like her either.

Yea I'd have to have WAY more free time than I do to get invested in that. Even if it would probably be just a few types and clicks...*debates*...no no no, I won't, no time!!
Change that to read and eat OR sleep (very little sleep) and you've got it. XD
I'm reading at a much faster skim pace now. The book - I don't know if thankfully or I would otherwise want it written - is at least rather repetitive on a lot of articles. It's 1500 pages of letters and a few memorandums so while at times the author we'll just write a few lines saying "this character writes exactly what the other character wrote see Letter #--" but other times there is a vastly different perspective on events, or things that one character knows about the event that others don't. And there is a definite necessitated method to that madness, doesn't make it any easier to choke down. As we can go in no great detailing on this book, and while I like it I will probably avoid writing on it, I can read at the skim and miss out on some of the particulars. If I can get to page 1200 tonight I will try to get up early enough to read the last 300 pages at full perusal. Currently on page 1016 and it's 9pm. I did get up at 1pm today, which was awful, but so tired. Also today was the first good meal I've eaten in, awhile. Made chicken, rice and broccoli, making it nice and well rounded. Yesterday I just had rice (I thankfully made a lot of rice I don't remember when so I've had that left over to heat up). Of course now I'm really hungry but thankfully don't really have snack food, so I can't make up for my suffering this week. I will feed you Monday tummy I swear!!! xd
We differ on the men but agree on the women...which means nothing. But I figured I'd say it anyhow, hehe. razz

Not even temptation for me on that one. XD
Fun times.
Yeah, I'd be skimming that book, definitely. Then look up online to clarify any parts I missed out on that were relevant.
Well ain't that fascinating.

I hate Sasha, Liam, Mirai, and Gais's Freaky Fish Guy (not to be confused with Mako, whose name I can actually remember).
I actually did the research on the value of the NPC undergarments. I was curious. I'm not too concerned with rashes or itches, because this is just a virtual hangout. In real life, yea, I wouldn't want anyone's used underwear.

@Kits - Yea I feel I skimmed well enough I didn't have to look up points later, but I did read the first 900 pages. Not much happens in the last 600 events wise. Actually we were talking in class today. But this 1500 page book has a plot that can be summed up in 2 sentences. The plot is 2 sentences in length, and the book is 1500 pages, what does that tell you? xd @Hawk - Oh and you aren't going to share the results of this research? Hehe. Yea I don't think even Kits is REALLY concerned about virtual itch...though maybe she is. lol EDIT Wasn't much of an investment to search so I did. Edmund has the most valuable pair of undies in all of Gaia - 300K!!! Vanessa at around 200K comes in second. In general the girls undies have higher worth rates than the guys. Sasha and Mirai being some of the lowest. Nicolae has the most worthless underwear in all of Gaia, valued currently at about 5 gold. He must have some bad itch (you'd think it'd be Liam). wink

Actually, Liam seems pretty healthy, almost annoyingly so. But NIcolae seems like the type to hide a bad itch in his underwear.

Haha, I was implying that Liam being such a...ahem, word that starts with W and rhymes with door ( xd ), possibly has more crawling around in his panties than I'd want to think about. sweatdrop

@Hawk: Barret is Gaia's freaky fish guy. I don't hate him, but he's not one of my favorites. I like him well enough, but I wish he would grow some spine and stop going after Mirai when she's clearly too self-absorbed to notice him.
@JK: That's... that's ridiculous.
I DO NOT WANT MY AVATAR TO SUFFER VIRTUAL ITCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Wow, that's exciting. XD Go Edmund, go. I actually think Nicolae's the lowest because I remember his was like the first undies they came out with, and I got a lot of his for that first few weeks; so it was really common. But that's too boring and logical, so I like the jock itch theory. XD
@Hawk: Yeah, Nicolae would be too cool to go see a doctor about it, so he'd just suffer through the itch for forever. XD
@JK: Haha, not to mention most jock itch comes from sweating too much in that area, using group showers where people might have athlete's foot, and wearing tight things down there like jock straps, which coincidentally is the name of Liam's shop (which I find disgusting, by the way), so seriously, he should be rolling in jock itch by this point.

On Barret - I don't care about his pathetic chase that will always merit him nothing. He just bores me.
It's quite ridiculous, haha. Wasn't until the prof pointed it out in class that I really realized you can sum the plot up that way. There is so much more to the novel than plot, but still, that's not the way we think about conveying a story these days.
Haha, virtual itch sounds virtually irritating. *is shot*
I don't know if his were the first or if they just went nuts with his, but yea I didn't notice undies until his came out and they were everywhere! That guy must be changing his undies every 5 minutes (I don't even want to think about what would necessitate that)! I do approve of Edmund being in the lead though. He's a classy old guy. xd
Yea when you said jock itch Liam's store was the first thing I thought of. Plus he's the "jock" so he seems the most likely candidate for that. Other than running from authorities I don't feel that Nicolae works up a sweat all that much. I'm sure he's got something shady going around down there though.

Yes, Edmund probably only had a few of his undies out in the open because the only way people are getting them is if they break into his house and panty raid. Nicolae probably just bought a bunch, claimed they were his and sold them. XD
Of course Nicolae has something shady down there. His entire body is shady. XD Is it herpes? I bet it's herpes.

Haha, that IS probably what Nicolae did. He also is probably the one who raided Edmund's house and sold his underwear too. That pervy leech!
Haha, it's probably herpes. Or crabs. Can't rule out both. xd
