Fair Warning to Zenni. My B-Day is fast approaching!

Angelus3701 · August 2016

Dear Zennimaxian Staff Members.

My glorious birthday is fast approaching. The day my mother was blessed by my triumphant entry into this world has been an annually celebrated affair since 1982. Since I'm almost an old man now, I also took two days of from work just so I could chill and wonder around inside the beautifully crafted landscape that is ESO. Do some quests for some obviously lazy quest givers, kill some pesky skeevers, you know? Normal imperial peasant stuff.

So if anything is to happen on the 1st and 2nd Hearthfire that would prevent me from adventuring I would be forced to pray to my patron saint, Molag Bal so that justice can righteously be occur. If that doesn’t help, because let’s face it Mr. Molag can sometimes be a proper ***, well then ill resort to my tried and tested ritual the Black Sacrament, but I had a slight falling out with the idiot Speaker who misspelled my last target and now I have to look timothy’s mother in the eyes at temple each Sundas while that *** Breton still walks this earth, sigh… smile and wave boys, smile… and… wave.

I am forwarding a similarly worded warning to my ISP, my family comprising of my dearly loved husband, 4 dogs and 17 cats. Be glad my ultimatum does include you serving me coffee every 2 hours, yeah my husband out of necessity unfortunately drew the short ass stick there, but that's the life he chose.
To summarise.

Took two days Leave. It’s My Birthday the 1st Hearthfire.
You’ve been Warned Sir/Madam.

Yours Sincerely,
Angelus.3701

I'm sure they'll send you a maelstrom weapon of your choice as a gift to mark the occasion

I'm concerned that the 'old man' level is now 1982. I'm three years and another decade the wrong side of that (79) :'(

All they did for my birthday was release Thieves Guild... I was really hoping for the Dro m'Athra senche though... they made me wait for it.

i did a similar thing recently. Wife and kids away for three days. Took 2 days leave for peace and quiet and have the place to myself and get a few days of ESO enjoyment

First morning off i went to game shop and bought ESO hardcopy and stuck it in the PS4.---- you guessed it.... 'this game requires patch to use network features'.... ok not a problem should be done in 10 mins or so...... 31gb and 24hrs later its nearly finished. First day gone

I decide that I need to clear out some spce on hard drive so start deleting old programs. accidently 'select all' and end up deleting everything, including the 31gb patch (with only 32mins left to go). At this point I wasn't the most sociable person.

Start the 2nd day off, re downloading the 31gb patch. Day two gone.

Then the weekend. Wife and kids back home. I got 3 hours on the sunday to play then Monday hit and SoTH patch hits. another 19gb and nearly 24hrs to download.....

Made up for it since then though.

Oh damn, love my family as i do, they would have been locked outside with some food and water.
But yeah this normally happens to me when i plan something like this, thus this warning. lol
