And you guys thought the Mayan prophecy was a hoax. This is the first
sign of the end of times.

Mwahahaha!

If this has taught me anything...its time to get my 2012 supporter
badge. Quick question, if I buy it now, do I still get the geekgold
that they give out during the end-of-year geekathon?

If this was the 1st sign of the end of the world, then it would've ended in 2003. :)

Does your contribution still add to the total amout of geekgold given away at the end of the year, or due you have to wait for the drive for it to count?

But I am having trouble figuring out how to post about it.

I want a microbadge saying:
"I was RPG Geek of the Week during the great BGG power outtage of 2012"
or
"I was the first RPG Geek of the Half-Week"
or
"I was the first RPG Half-Geek of the Week" :)

Can I have GoogleGold instead? And what would be the exchange rate GoogleGold - GeekGold?

I was here far too often for the Geek outage of 2012 (Seriously, it's
4:00 in the morning - what's wrong with me?)

Does this mean I get to log our plays later, conveniently "forgetting"
my completely miserable losing scores in 2 out of 3 games? :meeple:

The microbadge should be "twiddling thumbs."

Seriously, the site is down and here we sit, doing just that. Now
should be the time we get ahead at work, study, clean the house, its
the higher beings telling us to give BGG a break..just for a couple of
days. Take the wife out, spend some time with the dog...or better
yet...ACTUALLY PLAY SOME OF THE GAMES WE HAVE PILED ON OUR SHELVES.

But no, we sit here, on this "useless" forum, talking about random
things. I think someone just posted a "favorite joke" thread. We all
have serious, serious issues. ;-)

This is not an outage anymore, it's an april fools day. Haven't found
the hidden link yet, though.

Thankfully, most of the outage has co-incided with my being out on te town/sleeping/gaming/sleeping.

I'm now here 27 hours after I first saw the down notice!

I just created an account here to make "something" BGG-related. I need
