Quad's Candid Camera - 5/26/09



Had a lot of fun this morning. Quad accidentally sneezed off his mask and found out he had the DotD mask in his lineup!


Ran into Gehirn and another deer. I don't know if the other deer wants to keep it a secret who they are, but I know who they are XD


Quad got startled by all the other deer over there. Honestly I didn't know they were there!




XD


Synchronized Head Tilting FTW!


RAVENFLIIIIIIIIIGHT!!


Shocked


Don't we look silly? XD


(Kinda reminds me of Lieka's Iranu & Uvavu)


Ran into Raffles afterwards. Eye


Who do we think we are, the Beatles?

We can dance if we want to...

This morning I galloped about hunting down interesting pictograms and meeting up with deer-folk for merry-making and the like.



Here we have a group of dancing deer. I just wanted to shout out and say thanks for the fun guys!



And then I met up with two other fawns and boogied a bit before taking off for new adventures!

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance




-Question: Is there an easier way of taking in-game snapshots other than hitting 'print screen' and then pasting it into Photoshop?

Just so you know....

...it's my friends on here that are keeping me on TEF. If I didnt have any, I think I'd quit straight away/give up on it as of late.

Why?

Just the fact that I've been having so many problems with TEF the past week or so yet again. Pictos wont spread or I get clumps. Only on spontaneous occassions will I get a decent spread. Or the times when I dont want to play or there's no one on I know. It's not fun when you know your friends are on and playing while you're on msn to them and you cannot join in and the conversation goes silent. Yet I keep trying to get the pictos to spread to get on just cos they are...

I feel like Michael and Auriea have neglected TEF for the Path...they have not fixed the livemap, the comment problem or updated the front page. Or this picto problem...

Yes...I know what I said in the beginning sounds like mush...but it's true. My deer and I have made some great bonds that I don't want to break.

Usually I'd keep this to myself...but I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Endlessly Running

This is the second time this has happened. I log on, it shows close to 30 players online. All pictograms are gathered at the bottom of my screen. So I start running towards them. And running and running and running. Until I've cycled through the forest at least four times, and the pictogram huddle will shift occasionally to the right or left ever so slightly, but still I haven't met anyone. I've tried relogging in, but its all the same... Any explanation as to where all the deer-folk are?

Cirque du Soleil - CONTEST! (Due date extended again- June 30th)

OKAYSO I was the National Harbor this weekend and I saw a huge banner for Cirque du Soleil's show called Kooza which I guess will be around in October BUTANYWAY the banner was so awesome and the colors were too cool for school. I loooove their performances and it would be sooo cool to have a line of Cirque inspired sets for the Forest, yes? Like based off their costumes/theme/colors or whatever. I have no idea if M & A would ever use any ideas as actual sets, but it's fun to imagine them anyway. C:

SO I AM HOLDING A CONTEST.

Rules

It's simple, really. Create a full Forest set based off of any one of Cirque du Soleil's shows!
You can use color schemes, patterns, designs, textures, materials, whatever from looking through the content of their shows/costumes/advertising/design. Having fun yet?!! xD

Keep this in mind: I am not looking mainly for artistic ability, I will look mostly for creativity in the design itself. But, your idea should be clearly portrayed.


Please submit your entry to the Pictures section of this site, and link to it in the comments on this blog in case I have a lapse of stupidity and miss it entirely. xD
When you submit your entry, include links to images of whatever material you were inspired by so everyone can see it.

The deadline is fast approaching, and there's still only one submission. :<
The due date is Friday, June 30th by midnight.
(subject to change)

Prizes

The 1st place winner will receive a full body digital drawing of their deer!
The runner up will receive a full body pencil drawing of their deer!
Exclamation pointsss!!

Questions about the Forest (UPDATED)

I've been out of the Forest for a long while. So here are my questions:

I see a lot of pretty screenies of the Forest at twilight and at night, when fireflies come out. When does this happen? Not the misty candles forest, but the nicer calmer nighttime forest.

And some deer are running with me, then they suddenly go way ahead of me. It might be my slow computer, or a trick even the fawns know. D:

And please inform me immediately if you see me on the website, when it's twilgiht in the Forest. I've never experienced it before! Thank you.

Endo's Bio [UPDATED]

Endo has a favourite place- it's unusual. Seemingly an ordinary part of the Forest, he sees it as a hidden secluded glade. He has trouble finding it, though, once he wakes up.
(I didn't make this picture) Endo:



Foal-hood:

As a little fawn, Endo lived a harsh life. He was raised in a secluded part of the Forest by his father and older brother. His mother had wandered away, and gotten lost...he never saw her again after three months. (Put into human years, five years.) His father was very strict, but lazy himself. His brother, a ferocious and fully-grown stag, took to chasing the poor little fawn around their little hideaway for no reason at all.

Adult-hood:

His troubled childhood left a permanent imprint on him. Endo is weaker than other deer and shy. Try not to scare him when you first meet- he'll run away. But his manners are excellent. He prefers to play with fawns instead of other deer, knowing they are usually more friendly. Fawns could never hurt Endo like other deer had. If you meet in the Forest, chances are he'll rear up onto his hind legs, trying to make himself bigger than he really feels. But Endo, despite his misgivings, can be quite friendly.

Family:

He has a new little brother named Batti. They like to fool around in the forest and meet other deer.

The spots of sister, mother, father, and brother are open. He won't mind having a twin either but theres only one pair of famous Twins in the Forest ^^ Don't steal their thunder!

Trust is the hardest thing for him to give to you- earn it. He is not very good socially and it seems to him other deer tend to ignore him more often... He lives alone now. If you see Endo wandering around aimlessly and he rears at you, please run away.

Chart:

Rear: Leave me alone!
Roar: Hello! or Greetings! or he just roars in answer to another deer's roar.
Respect/bow: Welcome. or Farewell.
Nuzzle: Best buddy.

Questions! Questions that need answering...

Having just become aware that there was an online community for The Endless Forest, only a few days after downloading, I've noted something...
Bios for deers.
Many different deer names in the 'Deer Name' section on player profiles.
I'm left feeling a little confused. You can have more than one deer?

Also, when an adult, and your pelt changes color, it doesn't change back unless you want it to? Because when my fawn 'prays' to the twin god statue and turns white, it only lasts a few minutes...

I guess I just don't know how the whole 'roleplay' aspect of the community works, and while I can observe, some help in the form of comments would be much loved.

In any case, I should get back to the forest soon and romp around some ;D
