I haven't played TEF in a while and I'm sorry! I've gotten into other things, but I haven't lost interest. If I ever do decide to stop playing, I'll try to be sure to say something here. So don't worry, I don't plan on disappearing!

Even if I'm not in-forest much, I am still interested in RPing if anyone wants, so let me know please! In fact I would really love to do some TEF rp, if anyone is interested.

If you want you can e-mail me at NuevaPaz01[at]aol[dot]com. I also have a tumblr at nuevapaz.tumblr.com, and I'm on Facebook now, but I'm not sure how to link my profile. You should be able to find it by looking up my e-mail or "Nueva Paz" (I think, since I put that as a username, I'm still not sure how things work there).
If you follow/add me on tumblr or Facebook please send me a message telling me who you are.

I keep seeing fawns with pictos that are just squares?

I joined a roleplay on tumblr, and suddenly everything else has taken a back seat. That's why I haven't been very active here lately. Also, I don't really feel as interested in TEF as I used to be. That doesn't mean I won't be around or that I'll disappear. I could end up regaining interest later. But for now, I'll be less active. I might even still be interested in TEF roleplay, even if I'm not around the community site or the forest as much.

Those who have my MSN can still contact me there (although I haven't been on it much lately), and you can e-mail me at NuevaPaz01[at]aol[dot]com.

With my new computer the dance music sounds different. And it's not just that. All the sounds are clearer. I can hear things I couldn't with my old computer. The dance music has instruments in it that I couldn't hear before, or at least they are more clear and recognizable now. Everything just sounds so much better.

Okay I figured something out.
With this computer, I have to press the "fn" key at the same time I press the "f#" keys in order to use hotkeys. The problem is, it seems if I do this while my cursor is in the wrong place (which so far seems to be the black borders where pictos show up), my hotkeys stop working. The quickest way to fix this is to disconnect and reconnect. But I've also found that, sometimes, they will start working again after a while, but it seems I have to do something for that to happen. I haven't figured out exactly what yet. It seems like resetting some of them helps, but sometimes it doesn't, and I'm thinking maybe I have to have the cursor in just the right spot for that to work. I'm not really sure.

Anyway, I wanted to let people know this, because it means sometimes my deer might not respond right away if I'm trying to get my hotkeys to work again, and sometimes they might respond slowly if I have to use the action strip. I might also disconnect for a bit to get them to work again.

Oh, and I discovered another thing. If I'm using the arrow keys to move, I can't slow-walk and turn at the same time, and I can't hop while slow-walking. It's not a big deal, but it means I can't turn/hop in small circles anymore, which I like to do sometimes while playing around. Well, I probably could using the mouse, but it's hard to keep a consistent circle that way. Also I sometimes prefer to use the arrow keys to walk long distances, because it's easier than holding the mouse button down, but now if I do that, I'll have to stop before turning. Again, not a big deal, if a little annoying at times. I'm just saying this because I've gotten headtilts before when I've had to stop before turning (with my old computer, I could slow-walk and turn to the right using the arrow keys, but not to the left).

So, sitting at the playground, I just saw a deer run over, and then pick up candles, even though there aren't any there. o-o And I have "nature detail" turned up all the way. I think someone playing with an older version can see candles? Anyway, it just looked weird.

As much fun as I've been having with Charles, I keep thinking it would be nice to have other X-Men characters for him to interact with. Preferably from X-Men: First Class (since that's the version of Charles I'm playing), but really any characters would be fine. If anyone makes one, I'd really like to know, just because I'd like to know.

To anyone that's not a fan, please don't feel like you can't interact with Charles (or any other fandeer). Just treat him/them like any other deer.

It seems like my hotkeys stop working after a while.

Can someone help me get the mini spell for this guy please? I'm at the mushroom circle on that little hill near the ruins.

Also, can anyone either remind me how to get a pelt on a mini in the latest version or else link me to the blog about it? Thanks.

Thank you Ourania and Flyleaf!

So I got my new computer today. Hopefully TEF will work better with this one. It should. It has 8 gb of memory. I can't remember how much my old one had, but anyway, this one is supposed to be good for gaming.
Although it has Windows 7, so I'm not sure how TEF will work with that. Hopefully it will work, though.
I still have things that need to be set up, although I have all the important stuff.
