One of the more amusing "please play our game" emails I've had
Subject: Are you there, The Light in Chains? It's me, Kingdom of Loathing.

Dear The Light in Chains,

Okay, I'm not good at this kind of thing, but I feel like I have to give it a try. So, here goes:

I was hanging out the other night, listening to some old mp3s, and I was just overcome with memories of when we used to hang out all the time. Remember? You were an intrepid, fearless adventurer, and I was the free-to-play, fun-and-funny online role-playing game that won your heart. Do you still remember those good times? I can't stop thinking about them.

I mean, I know things got kind of messed up at the end, and believe me, I'm sorry. If I could take any of that back, I totally would. And I know people grow and change, and you're not the same person you were then, but hey -- I've changed, too! I thought and thought about how to win you back. I figured I'd make you a mix CD, but I couldn't decide what "our song" was. So I just concentrated on becoming a better game for you, and here's what I came up with:

Remember how much fun you used to have with your clan? Alternately, remember how you never joined a clan because you didn't see the point? Either way, clans now have clan dungeons, group zones where your whole clan can work together. Crawl through sewers to Hobopolis, a vast underground vagrant vacation vista! Slide into the slime tube, and stir-fry sassy slimes!

I know I wasn't the prettiest game when we were together, so I had some work done. Almost every interface got an interface-lift. You can even manage most of your inventory via chat commands! I also came up with a way for you to automate some of the things you don't love about the game, so you can spend more time with the parts you do love.

Not only that, but there are way more animated .gifs than there were before. Don't worry; I haven't lost that low-fi edginess you love, but I'm a lot easier to play with now.

You can also have a custom title now, just in case you didn't feel like I appreciated what made you unique as an individual.

I should also say
Haiku Dungeon's been revamped.
See what I did there?

Maybe you quit because you got sick of always adventuring above the water. I admit that seems unlikely, but I fixed that, too -- there are a bunch of underwater zones with new food, equipment, mechanics, and challenges.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, trust me. I'm still the silly, clever, deceptively-complex game you fell in love with, only with about 95% more awesome.

So, I'm just sayin', if you can find it in your heart to give me another chance, I won't disappoint you.

If you don't drop by, I promise I won't bother you again. I just really felt like we deserved one more try.

Love,

The Kingdom of Loathing.

To be honest it's a brilliant game, but I just didn't have the time to complete it with the other classes having done it once.

Best Ad you've seen lately? (to be honest I'm off to bed now, amuse yourselves and I'll see you in the morning)

Hah, I like that.
They're saying a painting on the telly is going for sale that sold for £65m this time last year. This means it has cost someone (excluding interest and resale values, this is for fun rather than science)

- £139,784.94 a day
- £5824.37 a hour (I bet some hours went by where nobody saw it)
- £97.07 a second (probably a few seconds went by where nobody saw it)

It is 162 cm × 130 cm, which is 21,060cm. If it would hold its value and all that and was cut up into postage stamps, each one would cost £3,086.41 each.... making a stamp-book of 100 of them having the value of the average house (not flat, but house) in London.

A bottle of Yop, 500ml, in my local shop is £1.19 when it's not on special offer.
So you can get 54,621,848.73 bottles, or 27,310,924.36 liters. An olympic swimmingpool has 3,002,375.46 litres. That means you can fill up just over 9 olympic sized swimmingpools with Yop.

That's a lot of Yop

An average human stomach can hold 4ltrs
That means it could fill 6,827,731.09 people, that's the entire population of london.
