    To the south of a graveyard stands the Elderwood's power,
    A well-furnished villa and "the Vault" (a small tower).
    Within these two houses: two homes full of loot,
    Like reagents and ingots and armors in suit;
    Like vanquishing weapons and wood stacked in piles,
    Like magical tambourines and rares seen for miles.
    But perhaps the most interesting's hidden away:
    A check for a-million! (a most modest pay-day).

    All of this can be yours if you're willing to wait,
    For in a matter of time both these homes will decay.
    And as someone who frequented I-D-O-Cs,
    I know what a hassle this waiting can be.
    So my last gift to you is not pixels, but time:
    Today I refreshed at a quarter to nine.

    Merry Christmas!

    We butt heads sometimes but I always liked you. Never forget our late night dance party and running through the jungle chased by The AIDs Monkey. I like your style!

    Thanks for the kind messages!

    Consider this a make up for the last few months of inactivity ;)

    I've actually been gone since mid-October, only logging on to refresh housing. I've decided that's not in the best interest of the community and will be allowing the houses to drop so my treasures can go to better use. It's only fair - most of the stuff was obtained from other houses dropping anyways :)

    Why only one check for a million? Why not multiple checks that lead up to that amount? I'm just curious.

    Good point. Wasn't trying to tell you how to run your event, I was just curious.

    I think he's trolling us and wants to get revenge by refreshing his house minutes before it drops to say "ha, ha".

    I average one IDOC every 6 months :/ It was fun! Might have been more people, except that by "graveyard" he meant "UOR custom graveyard" and by "south" he meant "west". So I think some people got thrown off the scent.

    Which one of your friends got the check? And which one was calling me a homo?
