There is another secret offer coming up in the Illumination next week, and I think it's pretty good. You can only see the offer if you receive the Illumination by e-mail. I won't get all pushy about it, but I just thought I'd give a fair warning.

It's a pre-announcement of the monthly announcement. Hot diggety.

Really? I looked, and I could only find "Email me all new posts in X Forums from now on" options.

Just above that is 'Subscribe to CaravelNet News mailing list'.

It's there...

1. Click "Profile".
2. Click "Modify".
3. Set the checkbox on either "Subscribe to CaravelNet news mailing list" or "Illumination".

The first option is good for getting just the announcement by e-mail. The second option sends you both the announcement and follow-up replies by e-mail.

Is your e-mail address (same page) correct? Spam filter catching the messages?

That could be it. I'm using a dodgeit account to dodge spam, but maybe the spam filtering service is catching the illumination.

Or maybe I just signed up after the November Illumination. I dunno. I've been here so long I can't remember when I wasn't here

One question on your special offers : What would happen if the special offer would be that if you buy A, you get B for free. Then someone, who isnt on the Mail-list (and dosent know the secret offers)...

a) orders A (will he get only A or A and B)
b) orders B (will he get only B or B and A)
c) If he put himself on the Mail-list after the offer was made and orders A/B

I´m on the mail list, so actually I dont mind but I am just curious about this.

I don't know. It might be different depending on the offer.

so...does anyone know where to buy banana-flavored cologne?


This begs the question: Why would anyone want to taste cologne?

It's just that Erik doesn't want to have to go around calling people stupid, but he'll have no other choice if you're a knucklehead and don't sign up for his free monthly newsletter.

So, everyone just sign up for the newsletter and save Erik the trouble.

Toilettery consumption has always been around since the introduction of spices in parfume. There is a more disturbing thing, how does Erik know that a Magic Pony will speak to him on Tuesday? That's just crazy talk. Its either a bear spirit with butterfly wings with a drinking cap, or a skeletion that has magical shoes imbued with the power of funk. There's always the little bird, but the little bird tells lies, I tell you.

And I always thought that I would be able to go my whole life without hearing that phrase.



As for Erik knowing that a magic pony will be talking to him on tuesday... I find this completely credible. Why wouldn't a magic pony talk to him? I mean, the innate nature of magic ponies is that they always speak to people on Tuesdays. Not just any Tuesday though, and not just any person. The person they speak to must hold the magic Garfsnarlblat of Juglort on the Tuesday that falls nearest to Juglort's birthday on the third year of the reign of king Fasquor.

then again...The "skeleton with magical shoes imbued with the power of funk" may be more likely.

That's ridiculous. I've had one of those in the closet for years, and no magic pony ever talked to me. (Unless.... Maybe my magic beans are frightening them away.)

The Littlest Ponies have Rainbow Power, and Rainbows are of course Magical, so Magical Ponies is not as far fetched as you think it might be. But though Alefbet, you must have kept that one on the sly (you could have a collectors item there).

Edit: It's either I have really great timing, or people at SomethingAwful are as mad as me.

no no no no you guys are missing the point. Erik IS the magic pony. And on Tuesdays, he only talks to people who wear banana flavored cologne. And he's letting you know so that you'll go out and buy some. Because he gets a kickback from the company that sells banana flavored cologne.
