floating stone

[pebbles]

Heya, the last bug I reported was already known , I hope this is new, could not find it in the forum:

I found a floating stone in ojaroad2 (near to position 392.11,19.32,131.53)
 

Greeting,
pebbles


**Edit***  , forgot about the bugtracker, but one day I will find a new one and finally be useful

I am sorry to inform you, but it is already reported

Flying rock

it is a miracle of talad. all worship his greatness.

maybe it was laanx. all worship his...  

umm. i'm not sure whose miracale it is. maybe it is the work of the mysterious deamons called the devs.

I also found this rock, though on the day of the release of the update. I thought that I might be a bug, althought I didn't report it, as it didn't seem to be harmful to anyone, and I found it quite nice. There was also the possibility that it was done on purpose (thats what I thought at the time).

Yes, when I first saw it I felt it had to be a bug.  However, it was so... neat? How it so-perfectly hovered over the hill that I figured it would rather be a feature.  Maybe we should start a “Bug or feature?” thread to gather all these funny things.

As to an explanation of the phenomenon, my two pennies:

1)   Conjunction of ley-line crossroads and areas of intense Crystal radiation cause diverse magical effects.  This could well be one occurrence of such an event.

2)   This shows that either the hill or the stone contain deposits of a magnetic ore.  If it’s in the hill, we could dig it and use it to make shields that would repel iron weapons :-)

However, a member of an obscure sect (who begs to remain anonymous) claims that the stone has been sent from “above” (sic) to "speed up the development of the races".  He furthermore claims that, if we looked closely at the proportions of the “monolith” (so he called the stone) we could start to delve into the mysteries of Yliakum...
Whatever...

That sect wouldn't happen to be "The Stanley Kubrickians" perchance?

Hehe, so many replies to a completely useless and redundant bug report. I hope the mods won't ban us for being off topic.
However, as a physicist, i like the magnetic explanation.

My source (who insists on remaining anonymous) claims that “The Stanley Kubrickians" is an unregistered guild used as a cover-up by “The Reformed Arthur C. Clarckians” since they were denounced as heretics by the orthodox arthurcclarkians authorities.

Well, you’re right, after reporting the bug we have wandered off the path.  I plead guilty.
Then again, instead of whining and moaning about a bug, we’ve used the thread to apply creative writing (I loved Steuben's praise Talad, praise Laanx post), role-play a bit and in general have nice, for-all-audiences fun.
So, comparing us with some posters out there in other threads, do you think the devs will get mad at us?

PS – Thanks for the scientifical compliment, but I’ll swear by the ley-lines thing
