The "Swish update" thread...

[Swish]

Hello friends of EverQuest and P1999. Firstly thank you for your kind inbox messages while I've been away - I've taken the time to reply to everyone individually but I wanted to say I've missed these forums over the last 3 weeks or so.

So it's come down to not having any regular/solid internet, moving to a place where I have a roof over my head but lacking in 21st century luxuries, and generally getting ready to emigrate early next year - I'll be leaving England forever. and I can't wait :)

Between now and January I'll be forumquesting at my local library - today from my phone but hopefully by the end of the week from a cheap shit netbook thing that I wouldnt mind losing in my destination country (to be confirmed) if RL PvP occurs 1v3 etc.

So fear not, I'm still here...and sorry for any alarm, panic or other emotions caused in my absence.

Also I'm going to make a fortune in Las Vegas later next month if anyone wants to fight, gamble or have an otherwise good time.

Welcome back!

TLDR - Swish's mom kicked him out of her basement and he is freeloading in public housing and straining his countries economy by being a leech. How you are not permanently banned from these forums is a mystery.

Welcome backs! Sucks that the current internets situation is less than stellar, but hopefully the service is better following your move! Safe travels and hopefully your laptop will be safe wherever you are moving to lol ^^

[Baler]

I noticed your absence but I was afraid to pm you to see if you were okay because I didn't know if that would have been acceptable. :(

I wish you good tidings and safety on your journey.

Have you considered Red 99?

Sure have, can't wait to get back to it :)

Also, been to Vegas before and loved it...step out of the shit areas next time, or enjoy the $1 blackjack with the other crackheads.

I don't believe I'm on anyone's ignore list, is it the sort of thing Sikorsky can confiem? I'll ask him.

[captnamazing]

I'm worried about your RL if you actually think you need to "check in" and let RNF know you're okay

i would see one of his posts every now and then and be sad that his sig hadnt changed


speaking of which.. why hasnt it changed?

[Champion_Standing]

Glad to see ur alive Swish hurry up and get better internet

[Swish]

Just because nobody made a thread doesn't mean they didn't wonder. I had a bunch of PMs to reply to when I logged back in, and just wanted to let everyone know I was okay :)

At least you posted it in blue RNF, where someone would actually notice it.

[Seltius]

We noticed! Just like we noticed Groot has been inactive we are suffering from withdrawals from the lack of decent gifs and gifwars. Nice break from the crying over spawns and PoSky drama on blue and the my RNF is bigger than your RNF on red.


Also where are the Red Lessons Swish we need new ones though as an ex-blackcat owner I can say mine at least was awesome. So I semi approve of the sig.

[Swish]

I'll bring those back at some point...they were fun.

Hope everyone is having a good black cat day.

Just to update... got my low end netbook thing today which will allow for more forumquest time!

I just got done at the gym, 4th day in a row this week. Feels good to take the time to invest in myself and my fitness every day. At the same time I'm not wishing death on people.

Outside is the answer for Sadad and people like him. There'll always be haters on the forum here but that doesn't justify wishing someone dead.

I'll say a prayer for him and hope his mental health improves.

No coincidence that Troubledour comes back to us, but has been sparingly on lately, and then Swish starts posting in RnF.

Troubledour = Swish

[Swish]

An interesting theory... but why would I argue with myself on the forums? I'm not crazy.

Also Troubledour was really terrible at PvP.

Such a terrible PvP cleric, no kills.

Swish accused me of RMT and hurt my feelings

[Troubled]

Such a terrible PvP cleric, no kills.

I got a naked afk dude to 2% after tash the other day. Shoulda timed for the killshot so I could please Papa Swish.

[Swish]

i managed to kill a druid on my cleric in CoM while dressed in a bloodstained tunic and a bunch of rags/banded/etc, and a wizard before him. Seems you guys have a lot to learn about pvp...try red sometime, if you're not hopeless like Troubledour.

In the meantime Troubledour, better get back to your post in BDA - they'll just recruit another 5 people to replace you anyway.

There's actually free wifi at the gym but I like to use the time to keep fit, making big gains in the world of cardio...will be the 5th day in a row tomorrow, I'll update with my progress.

Good stuff man, overtraining is real though so don't got balls deep off the bat. Any goals in mind?

[Spyder73]

Please, please don't

[Troubled]

Yea I killed a couple people in rags on my cleric when I was leveling up too. Welcome to the server.

Do it at 60 against geared people at a zoneline, which is exclusively where 60s hang out. If you manage to land a root or dd without malosini + tash(you won't) with 4+ people focusing you because you're a cleric and manage to get the kill shot, awesome.

I have 224 MR self buffed by switching out 3 pieces of gear and I don't use null pots. People that care about PVP way more than me get higher I'm sure. Ain't landin shit on anyone and a cleric's job isn't to get killshots.

Keep thinking a cleric is a valid glory PVP class over there and I'll keep basking in my pixels over here. Having fun leveling up my wiz, though. ;)

Yeah I don't kill myself...I stretch properly before and after any machine I use so no injuries (yet) :)

Been running 10k (6 mile) events since 2012 but looking to step it up to half marathons...which is hard to train for in the gym but I'm working up my leg strength, increasing my running speed, using a small incline. I might start intervals next week but I feel like I prefer those on the bikes.

Crucially though my diet is much better. No more energy drinks or easy food while playing EQ, have cut out red meat, alcohol, processed food. This is week 2 of some big lifestyle changes...and in part brought on by not having the internet properly anymore (typing this from my phone).

Just under 3 weeks til Vegas, gotta look good in dem selfies, nawmeen? ;)

[Swish]

Also as promised, and just to keep everyone updated.... I went to the gym again this morning. That's 5 days in a row. Any other gym goers on the forums? Post up your routine!

I tend to start on the treadmill, 30 minutes at 11.5km/h.... then switch to the bike and do intervals for 25-30 minutes, followed by jumping back on the treadmill for a brisk 5-8 minute walk to cool down.

Debating whether to go up to 35-40 minutes at my current run speed or stick at 30 minutes and try to bump it up to 12km/h... any thoughts?

I sweat a lot, but that means it's working....feels great <3

[BulletCatcher]

Priorities?
1) Ensure my RL is not fucked up...
2) Play Everquset?

I think your #1 is needing some attention. Sure hope you got your shit together. We don't need another free loading welfare recipient over in Murica!

[Swish]

My RL is going great. I feel good, Vegas in a few weeks time, then off to another part of the planet next year to teach English as it was meant to be taught (colour, vapour, valour etc) <3

[Pokesan]

are you homeless swish

[Swish]

are you homeless swish

No, but where I'm staying there's no internet which is shit and limiting. Thankfully before the internet was a thing for online gaming they made things like HOMM3, Dungeon Keeper....and newer titles like Faster Than Light, Darkest Dungeon etc which are all fun.

One thing is for sure, wherever I end up I wont be homesick :)

[simp403]

off to another part of the planet next year to teach English as it was meant to be taught (colour, vapour, valour etc) <3

If you're going to China to teach English, then you should make sure you fully research the organization you're going to work for. There are a lot of shifty "English schools" in China that will bring in expats from the U.S. and U.K. then fuck them over with contract changes, minimal pay, etc.

Its not because I don't want to, its because I have no access outside of library times except on my phone which eats my data allowance (I have to turn off avatars/sigs/images :( ). I miss the H1Z1 battle royales! I miss my police uniform and getting the shit kicked out of me in every lobby when I wear it :p Let me know if you want to borrow it til I can get back ;)

In other news pals, I've completed 3 weeks at the gym going every day except the weekends (so 15 days) and I've run for a total of about 8 hours and feel my fitness has really improved. It feels great to see that happening.

I started out running at 11 km/h (the average "filthy casual" 10k run time here is about 60 minutes so that seemed like a good starting point to improve on that). I'd run that for 30 minutes of running, and in the beginning I took 7 minutes of breathers to hit 30 running minutes.

Yesterday I ran at 11.8km/h for 35 minutes with only a 2 minute breather (so 37 total on the machine), and plan to get up to 38-40 minutes at 12km/h by the end of next week.

Start leveling yourselves up today pals, good health is important.

I might start a poll about making a vlog! More to come, stay tuned :) <3

Pissed that I won't get a full 5 days this week but I might try a 10k on Tuesday morning and see if I can beat my old pre-gym times.

Also 10 days til Vegas, fuck that's going to be good...loving life right now.

Honestly I was thinking of running from Stratosphere to Mandalay Bay one morning, just to say I'd done it :)

That sounds like a great idea, even walking it would be an experience. I use to do a lot of hiking and backpacking. Depending on the trip, some friends and I would do 10-15 miles plus a day and that's with camping gear. But that wasn't in vegas style heat, sure sometimes during the summer but dang. Hope you plan on taking some water with ya! :) Safe Trip dude!

[Xaanka]

hiking & backpacking owns. don't really need to go to the gym since i get plenty of strength training at my job, but i don't get a lot of cardio/endurance and it's a great way to fill the gaps. a couple years ago i went from barely being able to make my way up a 9.5mi/4k gain training hike, to running up it with 20lb of gear and water ballast in my pack not breaking a sweat in the dead of winter in a matter of months. savin up for a nice hammock and underquilt now, shit's a game changer if you use tents or tarp-tents and live around trees.

fuck though, i wouldn't even leave my house if i lived in vegas. can't do the heat. love me some cold weather hiking, but i have a hard time motivating myself when it's hot as fuck and the bugs are out. sunburn's a bitch.

Man its been a good week. I went to the gym as usual all weel, I wasn't feeling so good today after I got off the treadmill... was sweaty as always but had that cold chill that sometimes means you're ill or running a fever. So I took it easier on the bike and cross trainer compared to usual.

Yesterday I went to the biggest shopping mall near me to buy some shit for Vegas - things like clothes etc. I also took my laptop/netbook thing along so I could sit down in somewhere like Starbucks and type to my nerd friends in RNF while sipping an expensive coffee that I can't spell.

Life is good. I imagine it was just another day in welfare land for some, or a day at work that wasn't enjoyable for others.

There's no limits on what you can accomplish in life if you put your mind to it.

Yesterday I went to the biggest shopping mall near me to buy some shit for Vegas - things like clothes etc. I also took my laptop/netbook thing along so I could sit down in somewhere like Starbucks and type to my nerd friends in RNF while sipping an expensive coffee that I can't spell.

Life is good. I imagine it was just another day in welfare land for some, or a day at work that wasn't enjoyable for others.

There's no limits on what you can accomplish in life if you put your mind to it.

Start something new before Christmas, a new hobby, play on red instead of blue, learn a new instrument, volunteer at a local charity, quit your zerg guild...or there's many other things.

2 days til Vegas pals, any tips on which casinos to camp? I don't want to wait in line or be lawyered off a slot machine. Any good pvp spots?

[Troxx]

Maybe you shouldn't waste your finances/income/whatever at casinos? Knowing what you've shared about your life, I'm not sure that taking your money into one of those establishments is your wisest course of action.

Honestly not trolling you here Swish. Save your money while you're in a life transition.

[maerilith]

Thread is beggining to scare me worse then I scare myself. I too am concerned swish.

PM ME if u need to talk it out.

Vegas is fun. But set a limit if you have to go. Don't keep gambling past that limit.

as a local and miser i prefer the downtown joints, but i'm the type of guy who goes to dive bars exclusively shopping for free doses of GHB. Golden Nugget, Fremont Street etc is my jam. $1 margaritas (really more like alcoholic slushies out of a machine) available in that neighborhood.

Cosmopolitan is my favorite Strip property in terms of the decor and design and all that. But I never spend a dime on the strip, the $/fun ratio is just not there for me. The one exception being the very rare occurrence of a decent musical act coming to town, Flaming Lips on cosmo rooftop pool with the two coke addled sluts, one trying desperately to get me to fuck the other, was just gr8. I ran into the hot girl from high school at random, with two tourist whores draped over me. Top tier night but the drinks were $12.

If it's your first time in Vegas you have to do at least a tour of the Wynn properties, Venetian and Caesar's and Bellagio and all that. They're still dazzling enough to make playing the tourist game fun once a year or so for a lifetime resident. Skip Circus Circus and that one with the castle facade i can't remember the name of right now, they're nasty as fuck. And no I'm not in the area currently or I'd offer hospitality.

[arsenalpow]

Vegas is great. BDA did a Vegas meetup back in March. We did a group dinner at Fogo and a group dinner at Hofbraus.

For maximum opulence I like SW in the Wynn. Some of the best red meat I've ever had. The big eye tuna tartare was excellent as well.

[Big_Japan]

oh yeah the NYNY arcade and roller coaster are fun. The roller coaster is only $15ish, actually a decent value. That property sucks cock otherwise doe

To anyone concerned about my well being, the flight is booked and I've got a set amount of spending ca$h for the trip which I don't plan to go over. I'm a sensible gambler, although an old pal of mine was quite the opposite so I know what you mean hehe.

I didnt do Fremont Street last time, the shittest casino we went into was either Hooters or the Sahara (which was in the process of closing down)....but I want to get down there for a cheap night, just for the experience.

Also didnt get to check out Excalibur and a few others so will have to do those, and never thought about touring the Wynn - went in there and it looked a bit too exclusive for my casual tastes, but maybe I'll give the food a try one evening :)

General Swish "don'ts"... no poker tournaments, I'm good but not Vegas good. No roulette because Euro roulette doesnt have the double zero which makes yours look terrible. I like slots just because its easy but going to try and keep away in favor of more blackjack this time - great to play when there's a good crowd at the table.

Can anyone recommend some decent bars to drink in?

Tournament poker is infinitely softer than the cash tables. Lots of fish there looking to minimize their potential losses. Just don't play any hands unless you literally have the nuts, then outplay the final table. Everyone there will most likely bust out playing hands they should never be in from the start. It's pretty easy to cash in those.

[Swish]

Any good casinos for tournament poker? Anyone got some experiences they'd like to bestow upon us? If there's some low buy-in ones I might give one a try just to test the water.

[arsenalpow]

Every casino with a poker room will have 2-3 daily tournaments. Buyin is usually $50ish or so. Legit poker players don't play low stake tournament poker because the ROI is shitty. Their time is worth more than that. They can sit at a NL 1/2 table and make significantly more money. I won a couple of the dailies at Golden Nugget before, played shitty at the Luxor last March and didn't cash in the only one I played in. The early in the day tournies will be less crowded.

[Swish]

In the spirit of giving it a try, I'm going to give it a try. If I can try a Vegas poker tournament you all can surely try red server <3

Heading into London to get my flight, more updates as they happen. Going to be a long haul, got to get a connecting flight in Calgary (will be my first time on Canadian soil, eh)

No PvP? Bluebie detected. Red would only gamble where you could get mugged and pray it would happen.

Try red, ladies.

JK you actually gave good advice.

Day 5: I think I'm getting fat. Most meals I've had involved soda/fries lol. Woke up this morning early after a bad evening's gambling.

No luck whatsoever. I played slot machines such as "Cat's Meow" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJnBWbZ_G4) (not me in the clip) which has a fun bonus game along with some more modern ones and couldn't catch a break...with my final $20 I decided to hit the roulette table and stick it on red but that didn't come in either.

Today I'm catching the bus down to Mandalay Bay/MGM - the north end has been terrible in terms of paying out, maybe there's some luck down there <3 Back in 2011 I stayed at the Riviera with a pal and we were UP after two days catching progressive minor jackpots and that kind of shit, just on slots. It's like Vegas got mean.

Might do a vlog today <3

Definitely have put some weight on. Belt feels tighter and can see it in my face...can see a second chin starting to form.

Walked back to Stratosphere from the MGM Grand tonight, gotta keep fighting it lol.

Too much sugar and junk food. Murica.

[cdawgz28]

That's how we roll here. I was in the Philippines and met a British dude who said I was the first non fat American he met there lol it was sad

[Swish]

I've met some who aren't fat but they tend to be in their mid-20s or so... I guess people's metabolism slows down or they make the effort to hit the gym to keep the fat away.

Finding a healthy restaurant here is next to impossible lol

Truth. Try Subway. If you can't make something healthy there, you're just destined to be obese.

[am0n]

The point of Vegas is not to eat healthy. You are doing it wrong. I'll be nice for once and let you in on a little secret. Figure out which night is each buffet's Seafood Night. And then you go there on that night. And if you can't figure out which buffet is currently having their Seafood Night, you go to the Seafood Buffet.

Mmm, crab legs every night.

and if your allergic to shellfish then this is the perfect way to keep weight off. Since the swelling that comes with an allergic reaction isn't really adding weight. That and hospital food and the bill afterwards is a good way to make sure you don't or cant eat anything you don't want to.

[maskedmelon]

You've 3 options to manage your weight there:

1. Get sloshed
2. Get sloshed then ride a coaster
3. Eat smaller portions

[Swish]

Looking for a subway or some type of deli at the moment.

Finally triggered the bonus game on my favorite slot machine, Moon Maidens (also my future guild name on p99 if Luclin hits)...I'm so happy :')

Apparently people miss the updates according to another thread so lets get this thread back to the front page! :)

Gym still going strong, mixing up the times I go down there from mornings to late evenings depending what else is going on but continuing to break small targets on the treadmill. The other night I managed 12.5km/h for 35 minutes without any rest breaks so have continued to push on to 12.7km/h... and managed 35 mins with a 2 minute rest break at the 30 minute mark so it won't be long before it goes up again.

Had a good pal of mine suggest that I work in some weight training with the cardio for a more complete workout so have started to do some weights before getting on the treadmill, as well as some more between some bike work and crosstrainer work afterwards... all told I aim to break 1000 calories per session on the machines, plus whatever gets added from weights on top of that.

True I'm often walking 20 minutes into town as well and back out afterwards. It feels great to be physically active...I'd recommend it to most of the blue community. Even if you're so immersed you don't want to leave the house, stick your fake AFK tag on in the tunnel and do 10 press ups every time someone inspects you in the tunnel, or pick a few items at random and commit to 5 burpees each time someone mentions it in their auction spam :)

You too can be active. Maybe its time you stopped making alts or raiding X times a week to work on yourself?

Just some thoughts. Stay tuned for more updates!
