@Creeped: Hi Creeped! Welcome to Voltra and see you around.

@Tuijp: Nicely done avatar art of me as Captain Picard. I like it. Thank you very much Tuijp. I've added it to my Voltra profile

@Shamrock Shamus: Unfortunately without caterpillars there would be no butterflies because caterpillars turn into butterflies.

@Tuijp: I believe I have a Bingo:



Edit: Updated my card because I forgot to mark off the 22 on my card with a green star. (But that's irrelevant because it didn't contribute to a Bingo. XD).

@sunny: Ah. Thank you again Sunny.

@sunny: Thank you Sunny. I found my free Vyctor plushie by clicking on the Vanora plushie. I have no idea the plushies stack.

Hi!

I didn't receive the free Vyctor Plushie mentioned in the New Milestone News & Updates. It's not found anywhere in my inventory including in the Accessories tab:



I'd appreciate it very much if I can have the item I should have received awarded to me since it's no longer buyable in Ohm-My-Gosh Imports.

@Totalanimefan: Thank you for supporting my idea.

@ mdom: I'm glad you like my idea mdom.

@ Lithinel and @Peony: Perhaps if the birthday cake item is created as a multi mode equippable item? Then it would require several birthdays for each Voltie to have the full Rainbow set and no one would mind receiving the Rainbow Birthday Cake item for several years. For example the default appearance of the item is Rainbow Birthday Cake. When equipped in the hand as an accessory, it becomes the Rainbow cake held in hand. Several other modes could be: Rainbow Party Hat if equipped on the head, Rainbow Shirt if equipped on the torso, Rainbow Pants/Skirt if equipped on the bottom, Rainbow Socks if equipped as an accessory and Rainbow Shoes if equipped as shoes, etc.

Ahoy Mateys! September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day everyone! Let's have some rum and talk like a pirate. Yarrr!



I found a great Talk Like a Pirate Day song on youtube and would like to share it:

Talk Like a Pirate Day Song

Most days are like all of the others,
Go to work, come back home, watch TV,
But, brother, if I had me druthers,
I'd chuck it and head out to sea,

For I dream of the skull and the crossbones,
I dream of the great day to come,
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade me computer for rum! ARRR!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches God gave us fer wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price ta pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed! Yo ho....

Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello,
Our ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"

Ye can't keep this fun to yerself, I bet,
So sing "Aye!" "ARRR!" "Ayy!" every man!
We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet,
But a damn good retirement plan!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin'
And bein' polite is passe!
When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty
And let out a hearty YO HO!
And if this offends you, hold y'r breath as we sends you
Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go! Yo ho....

We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!"
Buy latte with pieces of eight
We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun
The loser, o' course, is worst mate!

When we hoist Jolly Roger, the landlubbers dodge 'er,
We fill 'em with loathing and fear,
We'll plunder and pillage each city and village,
Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer!

There ain't no computin' or morning commutin',
No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me,
No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin',
I'm knowin' the pull of the sea.

The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face
Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls,
I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon,
Verizon can hold all my calls!

To wear a red coat full o' buckles,
To earn a few duelling scars,
Well, at least we can get a few chuckles
By filling the office with ARRRs!

And maybe we'll never get closer,
Than watchin' 'em on the big screen,
So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow,
And every damn one in between!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
That time in September when sea dogs remember
That grown-ups still know how ta play!
When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy
And a soft-wear patch covers your eye,
Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs
And buccaneers all till we die!

So hoist up the mainsils and shut down your brain cells,
They only would get in the way,
Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party,
It's "Talk... Like... A Pirate" Day!

@Tuijp: Thank you very much Tuijp.

Hi!

I have no idea whether this was already being planned in future but right now we don't have this feature over here so I would like to suggest it.

It's my birthday today (Sep 16th) and on some of the other sites where I'm a member, I received a happy birthday message and some kind of present: a slice of cake, a party hat, etc.

I would like to suggest this feature on Voltra too.

When it's a Voltie's birthday, the site automatically sends them a Happy Birthday message and a present, preferably a cake and it should be a Rainbow Layer Cake with a large candle on top. Because Rainbow Layer Cakes are great, no other site has it, we can pretend that each layer of this cake is a different flavour and @mdom and other Volties who likes rainbow coloured items will love to receive it on their birthday:



I'm suggesting one large candle on the cake regardless of the Voltie's age so a generic Rainbow Layer Birthday cake item can be created and given to all Volties on their birthday. Since this is an avatar site, please make the birthday item wearable by the Voltie's avatar.

@tuijp: Do you see it now?



I guess I should have crossed that line of stars out earlier.

@mdom: Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday mdom.

@Another Movie Addict: Thank you for trying to help me and it's not an American thing. The teacher who taught us to play bingo in math class when I was 8 years old was not American and neither am I.

@Slytherclaw: Today (Sep 16th) is my birthday and I'm now 18 years old.

@Another Movie Addict: That wouldn't be fair to me though because I had no idea I already won when 22 was called out. :headdesk: The multiple winners idea is much better.
