Dominions Day!

[Kristoffer O]

KO: Well, hello there my little Dom3 and Happy Birthday! What a nice little game you have become.

Dom3: Hello daddy KO. Happy birthday to you too!

KO: So, what have you been up to lately?

Dom3: I'm studying. When I grow up I wanna be a MMORPG! There was a game where I had like 60 players under my skin. It was soooo coool!

KO: Thats nice! I never imagined that. Are you sure you wanna go that way? To be a MMORPG is a highly dangerous occupation. Ninjas, kiddies and bots will enter your system and cause havoc and make you feel cheap. I wouldn't want that to happen.

Dom3: Daddy, I know how to take care of myself! I've seen what can happen. You don't need to worry! I wanna, you know, go my own way. Move away from home and become rich and famous. I will never get rich and famous if I remain here. And I have talent! You can't deny that!

KO: Hmm.

Dom3: OK, here's your birthday present!

KO: Huh?

Dom3: I'm pregnant! I'll call her Dom4!

KO: What?

Dom3: Just kidding! Will I have a little sister? I'd rather have a brother! He's not ugly is he? I hate horror games!

KO: We are not sure of gender yet, but we can call him a he. He has a strain of RPG in his code, more than you actually. Possibly some MMOish traits. I guess it will be easy to spot that you are brother and sister, but no one will doubt that you are different games.

Dom3: Thank my pretenders for that! I hate them MMO's that say I'm just mimicking my sisters, or tell me that I should get some makeup! I'm a WOW-clone! I'm all individual! Get a life already!

KO: Hmm, kay! You wanted to be a MMORPG you said?

Dom3: Well, not a mean MMO. A good one. There are good ones you know. And they are not all exploited and trashy.

KO: OK. Well.

Dom3: By the way, where is my present. Is it a patch? A map? What is it?

KO: Oh, sorry, hmm, forgot. You will have to wait a while. But it will be great when you get it. I promise!

Dom3: Yeah, right. I hate you!

[Sombre]

KO has finally snapped.

A happy day for all the people living in his head.

[Edratman]

KO, that post would be sufficient proof to get you institutionalized for several years.

I'll hoist a cold one or two tonight in honor of the occasion.

Thank you for a great game.

[Aezeal]

So what exactly are those guys working on?

[Zeldor]

Sounds like MMORPG in Spore universe using old pre-alpha WoW engine.

[archaeolept]

haha. an MMORPG where everyone is their own Pretender

I think I'll roll a Moloch and take the burnination skills tree.

oh, and happy birthday

[llamabeast]

Well, I guess we can get from that that the new game will be a little more RPGish than Dom3. By the sound of it, it may also have some MMO features, highly unlikely as that sounds.

[llamabeast]

And yes, happy birthday Dom3! And KO! And me, in fact! I'd forgotten we all have the same birthday.

[Amhazair]

Sooo disapointed that Dom3 hasn't really managed to get knocked up just to piss of her too-strict daddy.

Still wish her a happy birthday though.

Edit: And Llama too, apparently. You don't plan on making weird announcements for the community to have fun puzzling out what they actually mean for the next six months to commemorate the occasion?

[Chacal]

Yes happy birthday the world ! Particularly for those who lives deep in the great blue and dream strange things about Dominions extensions, patches, derived games....

Happy Birthday Dom3, long live !
