I hope not... otherwise what else am I going to do with all these bodies in the yard?

Believe me, I had a worse joke in mind. Trouble is, I couldn't figure out whether penises would be used to make Unholy Burst or Anarchic Burst.

Mine does a prefix, suffix and make the item transmuting.

this honestly isnt that ridiculous. :/ if hes a combat bard those boots WILL help him a lot during epic lailat and epic dragon fights. keeps his bab max and helps his HP a lot. you can still sing songs while madstoned and combat bards are never casting while fighting the hardest hitting bosses anyhow. he may not have made the best decision being a combat bard and pure but he'd need the extra HP even more being 20 lvls of a d6. i use madstones on my bard on a lot of raid bosses

I heard that in the next update you will have to use guild airships, capped characters, and 50 dollar bills to craft some things.

Wow.  It seems I was right, the intern did it.

They really need to stop and think before making decisions.  If he had just said this yesterday rather than saying it's too late they would have saved themselves a lot of pain.

It's sad that an intern would have the ability to make decisions like that with out anyone above him checking over it.

Not really. I wasn't all that worked up about it either. I was telling Angel yesterday that there was no way that shit was going to make it to live.

Not necessary, while they should have reacted faster, I can tell you that huge blunders do happen in real world computing.

I'm not going to disclose anything that would get me fired, but when I did an upgrade of a Telco System last year over a weekend ( started friday evening, supposed to end sunday afternoon, 3 people in shifts )... The last guy on the last shift discovered while doing the tests ( after the system was back to live status ) that a specific dataset was totally forgotten in the upgrade, and that a whole lot of companies would have been unable to phone coming monday morning... We ( the 3 guys ) ended up all on site during the sunday to monday night ( to the outrage of the project mangler when he discovered it ) and got the missing dataset extracted from the old system, converted to the right format and inserted into the new system. The Telco Customer was happy, the end customer was happy, we were happy ( having to do it again was something we didn't want to do, that why we all gathered on site to fix it ), only the project mangler was pissed off, but as we had already told him any time to go fuck with other people and let us do our job, we just told him to fuck off ( yet ) another time.

( Oh, on a side not said project mangler decided that the voluntary layoff plan that came a month after was a bright idea... 
On another side note : I don't get along well with project managers, unless they just manage the project and let me deal with the technical side )

None of the technical guys was fired... But we all recognized ( both the Telco and us ) that tests and validation on that specific dataset were missed during the tests.
