Server still down. and i have a lot of friends that are getting pretty mad. One was doing his demon culti for the first time. He was so excited. and he turned around and said that they shouldn't shut the servers down for maintence if they don't know it will be back up when they say it will be. What actually happened for the servers to still be down? Or who hit a key on the keyboard that caused a massive problem to where it can't be back up? who do we need to point fingers at for all this happening?

you get a phoenix valley token once a day (and another with 5000 prestige in shroud).
and within those 15 minutes you can enter the valley as often as you want and can.
but you can only start the quest once.
that means..be fast and have friends starting it for you

Yes. Controlled spanking is not abusive. (My mother would give us three smacks on the behind and then let us go).

People stick their nose too much into what isn't any of their business these days. And all of this coddling/pacifying children is just going to turn them into tyrannical brats when they get older.

I know one kid that is that way. I baby sit him all the time. His mother gave me permission to spank him as long as I didn't leave marks. This kid is mean, though. I saw him stab his older brother in the head with a pencil and broke off the lead in the kids head. It wasn't too deep, but still. You better believe a "time out" just wasn't gonna cut it. He got himself a butt-whoopen and THEN was put in the corner. Not a "my mothers kind of butt-whoopen" (read bellow), but a civil kind. I'm a loud, lively person. The kids around here know that when I get super quiet that they are in BIG trouble. All I did was stand there and point at the ground and say the kids name. I told him if he didn't get up on his own and come over it would be a lot worse.

Just PLEASE don't make your kid "pick their own switch". That is psychological cruelty. I had to do that a time or three. I'll tell you. THERE IS NO GOOD SWITCH b:angry

I've never spanked my son and time out seems to work just fine with him. He absolutely hates time out, so usually all I have to do is threaten one.

Congrats. I remember when I was a kid that a time out didn't mean anything. It was a place I could just sit and day dream after beating the **** out of my older brother for picking on me. I'll tell you what, though. Nothing made me so afraid as knowing that my mother was gonna whoop my butt. She didn't stop doing that until I was 20 years old and moved 2,000 miles away from her. Granted, my mother is clinically insane, manic depression, and has some serious anger issues. A butt whoopen from my mother wasn't so much a spanking as getting beat up (especially when I got older. My brother had raised a fist to her once and she was determined that i would never do the same, which I didn't.)

er.. no one? it sucks but it happens sometimes. hitting an 0 where a 1 needs to be can do lots of damage. >.>

My 4 year old and "time out" doesn't work. Not if I'm supposed to stay calm. She sits there and SCREAMS "mommy i want you" The WHOLE time. The 7 year old is completely blind.. so a time out means NOTHING to her. Telling her to stand in the corner is like a joke. Making her sit in a time out chair is a reward in her opinion. she likes the way the chair feels (idk why its just a wooden kitchen chair) And my 1 year old.. well hes not quite 1 yet, he gets told no and moved somewhere else.. sometimes his bed till he stops throwing his fits. So I spank my kids... not obsessively, just when its REALLY needed. most times i can discuss why what they did was wrong and what could happen if they do it again.

ok number one if you do spank no doctor/psychologist or any professional has ever recommended doing it before they are 1 year old, the next oldest no matter how much she screams you have to ignore it, you are the adult you cannot respond to that type of behavior bc if you do they will learn that is gets a reaction from you, which is what they want. The blind one first off I'm sorry to hear that and idk as far as disciplining her, never had a blind kid but I'm sure if you ask for advice from someone with experience with a blind kid they will have suggestions or ideas on how to discipline them without spanking them

Oh seriously? It's taken me about 3-4 days now, and I'm level 31. Doing quests mainly of course The lag really owns me in big cities, it takes me 10 minutes just to get from one part of Archosaur to the other(need a better laptop lol)... and I just started so I don't know my way around. But in 2 hours is pretty amazing, what's the secret? Some super-ultra-mega quest? lol

Just hustle (and do every quest not in Arch before you go in there) PWI are evil and will make you bounce between your starter city and Arch if you let them which causes you travel time, go to a city or town do all quests there move to next town - keep running back and forth to essentials only, and you get way more done in same amount of time

almost 500 posts b:chuckle

Sorry to hear your mother beat you like that. I understand manic depression cos I have it myself. It sucks but it's not an excuse to beat your kid.
