Sticky Coffee?

[Gnerphk]

I'm opposed to shameless self-promotion... so it's with a great deal of personal embarrassment that I open this poll.

It has been suggested that my Guide to Coffee (buried somewhere in the OT) get stickied in the Guides section of the forums.

Now, I'm not sure the Guides section is appropriate. First: while coffee is essential to the future of Evony, it's not a direct game component or mechanic. Second: nobody reads the Guide section anymore (someone told me that in response to my Hero Guide) and instruction in the Art is of vital importance.

The question remains: Should the Coffee Guide be stickied?

Please justify your answers; partial credit may be awarded.

Perhaps, "none of the above" would be a suitable answer.

somebody hasnt had their coffee O_O

I don't drink coffee. It was already stickied for about a week, and it had a good run.
I vote for "There's no need to sticky the coffee thread... again"

[Gnerphk]

Which only goes to demonstrate the fundamental truth, that coffeemaking is a vital art and must not be neglected at any cost. "Fiat coffee et pereat mundus", as Ferdinand I might have said.

ROFL, I like that in the options to pick u cant say no.

[Gnerphk]

Yeah; Fallbreeze mentioned that my choice there might negate my attempt to show my shame, that this may be seen as something other than shameless self-promotion. I regret this extremely... and yet, needs must.

I voted for all four options, but when I tried to vote for the second one twice I got an error.

And Rota, I now see why you do not get hugs. There is a scientifically proven link between coffee being consumed and hugs being received. Here, allow me to demonstrate with this double-blind study conducted at a prestigious university and published in an appropriately snooty peer-review journal:

Coffee vs. Hugs
Hypothesis: The supposed connection between coffee consumed and hugs received is mythical.
Subject A: A normal, non-psychotic adult female who may or may not have previously been an Evony rep.

Day One

Subject A is fed copious amounts of coffee beginning approximately two hours before waking and continuously throughout the day.

Result noted: Subject appears cheerful, and receives numerous hugs throughout the day from friends, neighbors, and children. Researchers note that small children seem drawn to hug Subject A like a magnet, bringing their pets with them. Subject A also sings.

Day Two

Subject is given moderate amounts of coffee in the morning but then is not given any the rest of the day.

Result noted: Subject begins normally then gradually becomes irritable, cranky, and increasingly tense. Friends and loved ones seem blithely oblivious, but small children and their pets grow wary as the day progresses, dashing in for hugs and escaping quickly. Singing tapers off.

Day Three:

Coffee withheld.

Result noted: When, under threat of a sharpened spork to the jugular, researchers offer decaf, violence erupts. Subject is subdued with assistance from the SWAT team and blow darts. Subject spends rest of day glaring at all who approach. Family and friends seem to finally have gotten a clue and don\\\'t even come by to visit. Small children glance in window and run away crying. Pets growl, snarl, and slink away. Singing from Day One has dissolved into vague muttering interspersed with dire threats.

Day Three-and-a-Half

As the blow darts wear off and shift changes for the SWAT team, researchers begin to fear for their personal safety. A quick conference is held to discuss the fate of this research experiment. Conference ends abruptly when Subject A enters room calmly, smiling, and sits down to ask \\\"Whatcha all doin\\\'? Want a donut?\\\" It is later noted that Fred left the staff coffee pot unattended during the meeting.

Subject A gave all researchers a hug before she left.

See?

Don't even try to hug me before I've had my two cups in the morning...
