Mister Bumbles

So, some of you know me , some don't!

I've lost a little over 110 lbs in the last 3 years.  But then I stalled out.  Frustrating when that happens.  There was a string of deaths in the family and I stopped trying so hard.   But now I'm getting back on it, starting swimming to lose weight this week.  And because I'd let my hair grow long over the last two years (for the first time in my life), it had gotten down past my shoulders.  I was trying for the Viking kind of thing.

But common sense stepped forward and I decided to cut the hair off!

So this was taken a few months ago.


And this is the new me to make swimming easier to deal with




Anywho.   I'm a gamer in my down-time (which is a lot of time, since I'm currently unemployed as I work on my health and try to get in decent enough shape to have a few surgeries to repair the knees and spine and a few other things I screwed up over the years from various accidents.

I build my own computers, I love photography, and the outdoors (and of course, shiny things).

I used to drive a limited edition, turbo-charged VW Beetle named "Sting". 



And now I drive a really nifty little 2011 Ford Transit Connect van named "BUMBLES"....


And then, some other samples of my photography.










Anyway.  There is me in a nutshell.   Nerd, photographer, lover of shiny things, random cuddler of small furry critters and big hairy people alike. =)
Oh, yeah, and I live in Washington State. The great pacific northwest!

I have an idea that would be nice for VIP members.  VIP members get 1 air-drop per day.  But there are days when it's not possible to log in and use it.
Is there any way to make it so that when we log in and hit /vip ... that it will give us all the air-drops we did NOT get for the days we weren't able to log in?
The system automatically records when we DO use our VIP benefit, so it seems like it should be relatively easy for it to keep track of that.

Just a thought. Thanks!

Mister Bumbles humbly requests that one of the beings of higher power install his pumpjack ... please.

@Mister Bumbles Interesting idea, but unfortunately, it'll just add way too much additional work for admins so I can't justify making this change. Another simple solution would be to allow players to merge queries together upgrading their yield compacity every time another is stacked.

Well that WOULD be nice, but it wouldn't solve the issue of having to make multiple quarries to get a certain kind of materials.  I'm completely over-run with stone. It would almost be nice to have on/off switches on your quarries that allowed you to mine the HQM but not the stone

Yo, big daddy Death!

Thought on a way to clear up clutter on the survival map.  You know how everyone is trying to gather at least 3-4 (or more if they want more HQM since it's so hard to get) quarries to run around an gather sulfer, metal, stone, and high quality metal?   How about... making it so that once a person actually HAS gathered and placed their quarries, an admin can come alone, check the 'ore per minute' rating on all of them, and then assign those numbers to a single quarry at the players main base.   This way they actually put in the work to get quarries, build (or buy) survey charges, and get them set up. 

So they could then put in a request, tell the admin's which quarry will be the ONLY quarry, and the grid locations of their other quarries, and an admin could get it set up, and DELETE the extra quarries.  Then a person has a single quarry, instead of multiple quarries and buildings all over the map cluttering things up. 

It's just a fun thought. 

 

El Bumbles is ready for his close-up!
That is, I'd love if a kind admin could come place my pumpjack at my home at AB5!
It's the one with the giant oak trees with walls protecting them.
Thank you!

Building my base on an island in AB5. I have a quarry set up , and a framework around an old oak. 
If I could have my pumpjack placed beside the Quarry, that would be wonderful!
But no closer to the residence than the quarry, as I don't want it infringing on 'build space' if you know what I mean? 

Thank you! 

I didn't get to finish my god-mode project. By the time I had to go log off today to have my windshield replaced on my van, I had almost entirely enclosed the 'bridge' into a full giant tunnel the same height as the mane gate.   It was pretty spectacular but I didn't get screenshots of it at that stage because it was nighttime.

Thanks for the fun!   Hopefully we can do THAT again sometime

Just a .. *cough*.. few screenshots . Rust can be so beautiful sometimes!

Had a hell of a view from my fall at 30,000 feet as the sun set slowly in the distance shortly before my splattery death and my 3rd place win.
Thanks admins for the fun!
 

Order #2549, would love helping to place my Pumpjack, and if I can't place it myself, the Windmill as well!  Thanks
