What made it worse is that I had listened to an old Lone Ranger radio show the night before.  

[StuffGal]

XD! Sounds awesome! How'd ya' do in the class? ^^  

[Soultrain]

I think I passed. There was this six question quiz at the end of it. They didn't grade them, and sent them off to be graded.

I remember one time in my chemistry class I had when I was in High School, the teacher would make very lame chemistry jokes all the time, but he knew they were cheesy. But still, they kept you paying attention. Anyways, one time me and my other two lab partners where talking using chemistry terms as sex jokes, and we eventually started busting up laughing. The teacher thought something was wrong with us. It was stupid stuff and I can't even remember the jokes.... But yeah, ya'know when stuff like that happens and you end up laughing for the stuppidest stuff?  

[Soultrain]

Oh yeah, I'll bust up laughing over the dumbest things. These little jokes in my head that are only funny to me. Then everyone is like 'WTF are you laughing about?' sweatdrop  

[Soultrain]

The new layout is so strange! I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Crap, and I just got the second one figured out. gonk
On another note, I love all the free stuff you get! I got two mules, so I got ALL the new starter set items. I wish they had these when I joined!

......mules? '_'

Yeah, the new layout is pretty cool. I just wish they kept the flash thingy at the top, though... now I have to click each category instead of just holding my mouse over it crying Ah well, I bet it's better for slower connections...

And yes, I'm also in the "laugh at stupid jokes no one else gets" category XD Of course, there are also all those times where someone says something, and then you visualize it so perfectly.... and it seems ridiculous so you die laughing. rofl  

[Soultrain]

Heh, after all that damn trading, they release the new items in the stores, FOR 2 GOLD EACH! crying Well, I did save about 70 gold.

Quote:

Mules Surplus or duplicate Gaia accounts that can be used to amass more gold, store rare items from fear of hacking, or to masquerade as a totally different person. Some people have one, some people have about 20 just to book up all the good user names. I'm waiting for the day people start selling 'Mule' accounts for their names....

Mule Entry Extended Wrote:

Though the term "mule account" carries a slightly more negative connotation than "alt account" (or alternate account), it is generally used to mean the same thing. Gaians generally have five different purposes for their mules:

1. "Abandoned Warehouse" Mules (AWMs): Generally considered to be the most ethical of mules, AWMs are created simply to hold excess items when one's inventory is too cluttered to keep it all on one account. Gaians with AWM accounts often use them as safe houses, storing all their unused, precious items where no one can find them. AWMs are put best to use if no one knows you have one, or at least what the account's name is, to lower the risk of the account getting hacked somehow.

2. "Bizarro User" Mules (BUMs): BUMs are mules that are used for social purposes. These are the most versatile of mule accounts, and are generally the most well-known. BUM accounts include many uses. Some BUMs are used in roleplay, allowing one person to play as multiple characters within the same story. Sometimes BUM accounts are created so that they can take advantage of a cool glitch or status change, such as zombieness of the invisibob effect. BUMs are also used when a user does not want to make his identity known, such as when a rich or reputable user goes slumming in the Chatterbox. While some BUMs are sneaky, they are generally created for users to have fun, not for malicious or dishonest intent.

3. "Bumpbot" Mules (BBMs): While not actually unethical, BBMs are created as a way to get around the rules of Gaia. BBMs are created to stump the post limit, so that a user (with a lot of concentration) can keep his thread bumped by posting constantly on multiple accounts at once. While BBMs are effective, using them can be very straining and time consuming. This editor recommends that any Gaian having trouble bumping his or her thread simply stop by the Chatterbox and wave a couple hundred gold under the nose of a spamhappy newbie. They'll be glad for the chance to work for gold, especially at doing what they do best.

4. "Second Opinion" Mules (SOMs): SOM accounts are only for those who don't mind breaking the rules to get their way. They are used to increase the scores in polls or in ratings on the Art or Avatar Arena, so as to better their own chances of winning. If used right, a vast army of SOMs can turn the tide of a poll war to the Gaian that uses them. But be warned- SOM use is considered to be cheating by most of Gaia, and only one who doesn't mind sinking to the lowest depths should bother considering them.

5. "Oliver Twist" Mules (OTMs): "Please sir, can I have some more?" OTM account use is common practice for many Gaians, especially those with a taste for investments. OTMs are used to turn holidays and plot events into limited item harvesting seasons. Whether or not OTMs are ethical is a question for the masses, but most Gaians use them, whether they admit it or not. While there's no doubt that an a army of OTMs are devastatingly effective for obtaining items, Gaians have to ask themselves... "Do I really want 50 of the same item when no one even wants one?"

Oohhh! That's it! ^^ Thanks. I don't have any mules, then >_>;; I bought the extras for myself, though ^_^V  

[KnightFourteen]

I don't have any mules either...  

[Soultrain]

Mules can be handy. I have one to store old donation letters and crap I don't use.
