In this decade As much as basil's current [dead] state makes us feel "so old," I'm comforted when I put things into perspective. The height of culture, activity, and community-building occurred here between 2010 and 2012. We have experienced basilmarket at its absolute highest, and at its absolute lowest. Both extremes were met in the same decade: a decade we're still living through. So when I see the emptiness here and feel hollow, I choose instead to be amazed that *so* much has changed in such a short amount of time. The memories I have of this place are huge and numerous; we were pouring our lives into basil on this day mere years ago. Now... will the same be said two weeks from now? 2020, sheesh.

Having trouble editing original post of thread? I have a relatively long original post, but I don't think it's too long.... I feel like I've seen bigger threads on basil before. I keep trying to edit it, but when I do I'm taken back to the home page, and the edit doesn't go through. Is there a problem with editing original posts in general, or is there a limit on how long a thread can be? edit2: [b]but it isn't because my thread is too long, because I TOOK OUT stuff, and it still wouldn't let me edit the post[/b] What's going on? :( Mods? :(

Neckbeard Ledditeurs got rekt and now have nowhere to cry Apparently Ellen was the only thing standing between Reddit and banning all the hate subs: they asked her to ban all of them, but she only banned fatpeoplehate. So isn't it ironic that all the angry entitled neckbeards drove her off the site with racism, sexism, threats of violence, and hate speech... and now that she's gone, [b]ALL[/b] of the hate subs are getting banned. Sweet sweet justice. The bans start tomorrow, so make your popcorn and watch the angry neckbeards RAGE <3 [quote=]Ellen was more or less inclined to continue upholding my free-speech policies. /r/fatpeoplehate was banned for inciting off-site harassment, not discussing fat-shaming. What all the white-power racis

do protection scrolls decrease in value during the week? I just got a protection scroll that expires on the 11th. Will it be worth more money now then, say, on the 10th? i.e. is it worth more money to sell when there is more time left? (i.e. should I race to get it sold ASAP?) Also the prices in the FM are between 400 and 500 mil, but nobody will let me sell it for even 400mil in FM entrance. What is the usual protocol in terms of "cheapening" the item you're selling when you don't have a shop?

Extra 10 coins for the hot week coin shop Hi! So I used Monday & Tuesday to get 20 coins on a character and get the new player slot. I also used Wednesday & Thursday for the same thing. I'm planning on using Sunday's 30 coins to get a new character slot and a trait booster. So that leaves Friday and Saturday. I can only get 1 player expansion because today gives me only 10 and Saturday gives me 50, so with those 60 coins I can only get 1 character slot. What is the best way to split up & spend these 60 coins?

Scammers in fm who cancel trades when you make an offer I am offering you this item [b]50 MILLION MESOS LOWER[/b] than the lowest shop in the FM. So when you instacancel the trade window it only tells me that you're wanting to scam me, and since you can't scam me you cancel the trade window. The item is worth 219mil as the cheapest in the FM stores. It is not worth 100mil no matter how many scammers try to tell me. it's so obnoxious. [b]WHY ASK ME TO MAKE AN OFFER IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WILLING TO SPEND? WITH HOPES THAT I OFFER IT FOR A LOW PRICE?[/b]

Best explorer class for minimal pot burn that works unfunded With the extra character slots I want to make a new explorer (because I like them better than any of the new classes I've tried out). Criteria: (1) Will be able to train long periods of time without having to spam potions, Will be able to attack at SDH without running out of the daily boss power elixers (2) Will be able to easily solo bosses like normal Zakum without much funding (i.e. Empress Equips being the most expensive thing I'll go for) (3) Will have enough range to attack at SDH with Empress Equips plus maybe a few other things I can put together Exclusions: (1) Not a Bishop as that is already my "main" character on the world I have in mind (2) Preferably not eit
