New Contest!

[Levity]

OK, ok, I guess I'll put mine in here. I don't have the originals, but everyone should know these:

Evil Withered Aegis (Itsy Bitsy Spider )

The evil Withered Aegis was Blighting all about
So all the Gifted pushed the Aegis out
Out came Anchors in green and pouring rain
and the evil Withered Aegis could spread its Blight again'

The Anchor's Blighted Spectres were the Anchor's guard
Yet all the Gifted came from all the shards
Down went the Anchors to the Gifted's blades
And the evil Withered Aegis planned yet another raid

Blighted Deadlands were growing to north and east and west
Gifted went there to meet the Withered's test
Down fell the foe but ever there came more
and their weapons grew more fearful, now made with shining cores.

But the mighty fighting Gifted won't let the Blightlands grow
We'll stop the Aegis, in our hearts we know
We are their betters, history will say
When the dark and Blighted Deadlands are turned to shining day!

(( Que Sera Sera ))

When I was just a young Human,
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be Gifted? Will I live long?
Here?s what she said to me:
Just stay home with me, who needs immortality?
One life?s enough to see, just stay home with me.

When I was just a tiny Drake,
I asked my parents, what will I be?
Will I be Lunus? Or Helian?
Here?s what they said to me:
All you need is flight, go and do your RoP,
Either path will set you free, all you need is flight.

When I was an unbearded Dwarf,
I asked my clansmen, what shall it be?
Barley ale or stout, or brandy fine?
Here?s what they said to me:
Whatever fills your mug, you just tilt it up to glug,
If not passed out on the rug, we?ll refill your mug.

When I was just a new Dryad,
I asked the Callers, you sent for me?
This world is Blighted, why pull me here?
Here?s what they said to me:
It seemed the thing to do, we were in an awful stew,
Thought we would pull you in too, it seemed the thing to do.

When I was just a stripling Elf,
I asked the nobles, what should I be?
A heroic archer, a spearman true?
Here?s what they said to do:
Drink and be merry, Aegis is no threat to thee,
Feladan is ever free, drink and be merry.

When I was just a quarter Giant,
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be strongest? Will I be tall?
Here?s what she said to me:
Don?t step on the Gnomes, even though they?re hard to see,
Now what were you asking me ? don?t step on the Gnomes!

When I was just a fresh hatched Sslik,
I asked my bearer, what will I be?
Will I be feathered? Will I have fins?
Here?s what it said to me:
Eat up all your fish, and you will be all you wish,
Let me see you clean that dish, eat up all your fish.

When I was just a young Satyr,
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be Defiled? Or just Unkempt?
Here?s what she said to me:
You?re a slave like me, never other choice for thee,
Never hope you will be free, you?re a slave like me.

When I was just a youthful Gnome,
I asked my father, what will I be?
Will I be wacky? Will I be wise?
Here?s what he said to me:
Wisdom is for fools, odd widgets are all you need
To propel you to greater speed, wisdom is for fools.

When I was just a small Saris,
I asked my mother, what will I be?
Will I be sexxy? How ?bout my tail?
Here?s what she said to me:
Helcat?s not your dad, so try not to be too sad,
No matter what Da says when mad, Helcat?s not your dad.

When I was just a new Welgar,
I asked the players, what will I be?
Will I be clumsy? Will I have flight?
Here?s what they said to me:
Go and ask TG, the future?s not ours to see,
?twill be months before you?re free, go and ask TG.
------------------------
(( Row, Row, Row Your Boat ))

Fight, fight, fight the Blight,
anywhere it grows,
barely, barely, barely, barely,
surviving all its blows

Stride, stride, stride along
smite them as we go
barely barely barely barely
felling every foe

Swing, swing, swing your pick
harvesting the nodes
craftily, craftily, craftily, craftily
building our abodes

Flap flap flap your wings
take you to the sky
airily, airily, airily, airily,
Dragons all should fly.

Ok, here ya go Fratricide!

Blighted Girl - Jayne (Lady of Pain) Chaos

Thanks Jayne... [Y] Thats what I was lookin for... I think to put your selection over the top you should have someone actually "sing" your Parody so that we can all have an audio file of it so we could listen to it whils't we played...[:P]

[Bori Grimbattle]

This may sound a bit bitter to some but it encapsules a few of the reasons why I no longer play. It will not qualify for a prize due to that factor and I did not do it to garner an award. I just hope some things will change and give me a reason to return.

Until then, I sit and watch and wait and watch and wait. Perhaps someday.....perhaps.


Artist: Don McLean Lyrics
Song: American Pie Lyrics

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How Sephiranoth used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make that Draggy dance
And, maybe,he would be happy for a while.

But the dream world made me shiver
And time committed I could not deliver
No more battles with Ssilmath
I couldn?t take one more breath.

I can?t remember if I cried
When I wrote my story and said goodbye
But something touched me deep inside
The day Istaria died.

So bye-bye,Istarian skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die."

Did you work on the Kirasanct mine,
And seen Brax die time after time
Would you believe me if I told you so.
Do you remember Aug and Dralk
And Morning Light at which we balked
Without the dragons nobody wanted to go.

Well, I know we had us some fights
When the Plague was released that dreadful night
Yet we all picked up our shoes.
Man, there were things to do

We were a hard working fun lovin' crew
Working and laughing and cursing too
But we were running out of things to do
And things began to die..

We started singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""

After merge we were on our own
More people yet more alone
It just wasn't how it used to be.
But the Jester who was the Fool
Kept me going when I felt blue
And Ssilmaths voice made me laugh with glee.

And when Ssilmath would talk with his lisp
Bori would fill his backpack with afish
Nobody could stand the smell
We all laughed like hell.
And while Sephi would eloquently wax,,
There were those that would attack,
They couldn't see it was an act
And Istaria began to die.

We were singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""


Helter skelter in the blight we sweltered
The Heros were off on a Satyr Isle shelter
Gaining levels and gaining them fast.
And as the Anchors fouled the land..
The crafters tried to form a band
But against the Blighted they could not last.

Then the Anchors disappeared
We all waited trembling in fear
What would the Aegis send next?
What would be our next test?
And when players raised their voice
Craft or level was their choice
Nobody did rejoice
And Istaria began to die.

We were singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""


Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A bunch of clowns lost in space
With nothing to do but start again.
So come on: Devs be nimble, Devs be quick!
But the Devs went on that Dragon kick
And the Dragons were the Devs only friend..

Oh, and as we watched them on the stage
Our hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No biped born in hell
Could break the Dragons spell.
And as they climbed high into the night
To rediscover the Ancient rites
We saw them laughing with delight
And Istaria began to die

We were singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""


I met a Dryad who cried bitterly
She could not live in her tree
But the dragons were getting lairs
I went down to the Satyr Isles
Where we cried and where we smiled,
But even they did not have theirs.

And in the land: the Gnomes they cried,
The Sslik they waited and bided their time
But not a word was spoken;
The Dev voices all were broken.
And the two that I admire most:
The Fool and the Sslik those two could joke,
I left them there on that barren Coast
The day that Istaria died.

We were singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""


We were singin?,
"bye-bye, Istarian Skies
Parked my draggy on a mountain
'Cause Adramaleck could fly.
And Sinistre and Bori drank the keg dry
Singin?, "this?ll be the day that I die.
"this?ll be the day that I die.""

<Reads Bori's song, then sniffs>

What...I've just got something in my eye...

<Slowly turns and walks away>

[imported_peladon]

Long and long and longer still,
Openeda hole I may not fill
The deeds were done, the words were said,
Spiral danced, honour not dead
And still and yet, on lost wind's breath
The Bori and Arirabeth
Send voices silent to my ears
And bring mine avatar sweet tears
That somewhere, where I cannot say
The Mystic Blades still make their way
And from that place no door is open
And from that dream no sleep is broken

Too long ago the silence fell
To silence I return.


Sephiranoth, called by some ShadowSeeker
Called Fool, called many things
Who waits to hear the silent voices wake

Nobody and Nothing, and less for that which was lost

1997



Lightning in the Storm


Greet her, Sonea Fair
Though you'll never know her at all
She walks the hardest road of all
While those around her fall
The Clan sought out her mother
And they whispered in her brain
They stole away her childhood
And they burned her with the pain

And ye lost thy name and ye burned in flame
And the Lightning then was born
And ye stand beside the Thunder
And the Storm will come
And the Foe will come to know thee
But Foe will come to fail
A sun will come beyond the Storm
The sun will be thy smile

Crafter first ye came
Then ye took staff, the bow, the sword
And ye learned new maker's skill
And death was the craft ye made
Even when ye died
Oh thy task was not yet through
And ye woke to walk again
So that Lightning burned and the Thunder rolled

And ye lost thy name and ye burned in flame
And the Lightning then was born
And ye stand beside the Thunder
And the Storm will come
And the Foe will come to know thee
But Foe will come to fail
A sun will come beyond the Storm
The sun will be thy smile

Greetings, Sonea Fair
From the Oath-bound one that saw ye rise and grow
And sees ye more than the death ye bring
And who knows ye and your secret tears

And ye lost thy name and ye burned in flame
And the Lightning then was born
And ye stand beside the Thunder
And the Storm will come
And the Foe will come to know thee
But Foe will come to fail
A sun will come beyond the Storm
The sun will be thy smile

The Fitter's Song

(an ode to maximum efficiency)

I make two joints in the morning
I make two joints at night
I make two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel allright

I make two joints in time of peace
and two in time of war
I make two joints before I make two joints
and then I make two more.

Oh my daddy he once told me, Son you be hard working man
My momma she once told me, son you do the best you can
But then one day I met a man who came to me and says
Hard work good and hard work fine, but my friend there needs a rez.

So now I make two joints when I log in. AFK I make two joints
I make two joints when I level, and for every 10,000 points
(I make two joints)
I make two joints in time of peace
and two in time of war
I make two joints before I make two joints
and then I make two more.

Original Song - Smoke Two Joints - the Toyes

[Ephriamite]

I emailed a couple to Baela, thought that was all we needed. Does this disqualify me?

[LaughingOtter]

Nah, we're posting here for the fun of it.

[Custard]

Original Song: Like a Virgin - Madonna

Like a Dragon

I made it through the Deadlands
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how hungry I was
Until I found you

Heard your wings beat, it was neat
Made a grab, I was glad to catch you
and you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Hungry for you

Chorus:
Like a Dragon
Eatin' Dryads for the very first time
Like a dragon
When you hear my wings beat
Fear for your life

Gonna eat you all at once, bug
My saliva's dripping fast
Been waiting all day for you
'cause my bug hunger is vast

You're so fine and you're mine
I know where you belong, don't need to be told
Oh your wings stretched out
Yeah, and they flapped about
and tickled my colon

(chorus)

Oooh, oooh, oooh

You're so fine, the taste's sublime
It's not long 'til the end of your time
There's no need to peel
Yeah, the flavour's unreal
I'm thinking 'bout catching some more

(chorus)

Like a dragon, ooh, ooh
Like a dragon
Dryads feel so good inside
When you're swallowed, and your wings beat, and it tickles

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, Dryad
I feel your little wings beat
For the very last time

[Ephriamite]

Well, I'll take the plunge and see whether I hit bottom or not...

This is the first of 4 (so far, we'll see how they go over)

"Buff It Up"
by: Skydancer/Order



Buff it up, buff it up, buddy don't you let me down,


Well it happened in the Rift where the gap is wide,

Reklar and the SoG standing side by side.

But the clerics and the druids they were doing their thing,

and the boomers and the casters really started to fling.


Buff it up, buff it up, buddy don't you let me down.


We're using up the shards and the horde's still grand,

but the group has had their practice in the East Deadland.

They're taking down the minions every time they show,

and we're picking up the booty in an endless flow.


Buff it up, buff it up, buddy don't you let me down.


Declining health points at an even rate,

if we get past one we'll just disintegrate.

But the buffs are getting stronger, really digging in,

and the horde is getting weaker as we plunge on in.


buff it up, buff it up, buddy don't you let me down.


Minutes seem like hours as the battle flows,

and the undead lie in mounds that continue to grow.

But we made it to the General and the SoG is slain,

one last hit has done it and we got him again.


buff it up, buff it up, buddy don't you let me down.

"Wandrin Bard"
by: Skydancer/Order



It's well past moonrise on All Halloweds Day,
the regular crowd shuffles in.
There's a Druid floating next to me,
making love to his Klava and Gin.

He says "Hatchling sing me a memory,
I really don't care how it goes.
Just make it quite mad and full of Elite,
ghosts and zombies and all of those foes.

***

Da da da ____ de de da, _____
da da ____ de de da ______ da da. _____

Sing us a song, you're the Wandrin Bard,
sing us a song of fright.
We're all in the mood for a tale or two,
of how we can yet win this fight.

***

Well, now Roguar o'er there is a friend of mine,
he gets me my shineys for free,
and he's quick with a mug or a tankard or jug,
but there's somewhere that he'd rather be.

He says "Sky, I believe this is killing me,
as the frown grows all over his face.
I was happier way out in the Deadlands you know,
instead of just tending this place.

***

Da da da ____ de de da, _____
da da ____ de de da ______ da da. _____

Sing us a song, you're the Wandrin Bard,
sing us a song of fright.
We're all in the mood for a tale or two,
of how we can yet win this fight.

***

There's Moheda, a witch and an alchemist,
who'll hook you on potions and buffs,
She's talking with Awdz, whose gathering skills,
though she never will have her enough.

And the Sslik is practicing knavery
with the Fiends who are never alone.
They complain about Gnomes and Dwarves that abound
Though they'll never return to their home.

***

Da da da ____ de de da, _____
da da ____ de de da ______ da da. _____

Sing us a song, you're the Wandrin Bard,
sing us a song of fright.
We're all in the mood for a tale or two,
of how we can yet win this fight.

***

It's a pretty good crowd for All Halloweds Day,
Roguar he gives me a smile
Cause the silver piles up, and the copper piles high,
and the kegs of Dwarf ale last the while.

And my tales all sound like tall adventure,
with the heros defeating the blight.
Then they buff up their courage, and start off again,
all so eager to rejoin the fight.

***

Da da da ____ de de da, _____

Through Drulkars grace, we greet the day,

Traditions clear, with loyal ways,
we keep our honor strong.

The sun does warm, our backs and wings,
the winds do lift us high.
But naught does lift us half as much,

From shell to scale, and ancients rite,
He's there in all we do.
He guides, directs, and shows the way,

A Dragons word, is a sure bond,

In Drulkars grace, we end each day,

When the Man comes around
Johnny Cash



When the War Song is Sung


Open (Spoken part)
And I saw a one cast forth from a mighty Storm
And it saw Blight and it stood with no fear
And it's name it said on him was War
And War's Song it was singing


Someone walks in the Blight-blast and the rain
And the Aegis find with blood he marks his name
Forg-ed in Storm, long cast down, he is bane
A new Song will be heard across the land
War will sing, War will stand

Bring SoG, bring Reklar, bring Valkor
Let the Rawdge god seek to rend Aradoth
Let them all come, let them dance, see them lost
A new Song will be heard across the land
War will sing, War will stand

See a blade bright in the green-light
The Withered Aegis, see them shattered
Vexators, Abominations, all swift will fall
Forms are looted, pieces gathered,
Old arms crafted, new arms mastered
Child, sleep soft, Song of War will stand the wall

And the sky-twist is ever falling
The Blight-spawn will stand at ev'ry gate
The sky-twist is ever falling
Eternal battle be the Gifted's fate

Till the Aegis and the Blight no more are found
Till the undead rise no more from green-cursed ground
While the need of the weak still makes demand
The Storm-lost one will make their voices heard
War will sing, War will stand

Whoever seeks to Craft, let them make craft most well
Whoever seeks Adventure let them gain rank as well
Whoever seeks a Guild let them be welcomed well
Where is yet honour found in the land
War will wing, War will stand

See a blade bright in the green-light
The Withered Aegis, see them shattered
Vexators, Abominations, all swift will fall
Forms are looted, pieces gathered,
Old arms crafted, new arms mastered
Child, sleep soft, Song of War will stand the wall

And the sky-twist is ever falling
The Blight-spawn will stand at ev'ry gate
The sky-twist is ever falling
Eternal battle be the Gifted's fate

In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the Man comes around.

While there is but a single Foe to rend
War will sing, War will stand


Close (Spoken part)
And I saw a one cast forth from a mighty Storm
And it saw Blight and it stood with no fear
And it's name it said on him was War
And War's Song it was singing


Sephiranoth, called by some ShadowSeeker
Drakonis of Order
Nobody and Nothing ever, save the Five do Feast

[Kwinn]

Here ya go! :)

My Ding-a-Ling by Kwinn with assistance from Sephiranoth

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandpappy gave me a cute little toy
A long sharp blade and joy to swing
He told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to hunt with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to hunt with my ding-a-ling

You know I've mastered a right many schools
And ya know they got a lotta dumb rules
And one I know, when the Blight winds sing
I gotta whip out my ding-a-ling-a-ling

So now I'm a-learnin' my very last school
And the Aegis are a-learnin' the Golden Rule
But each time I try to teach 'em that thing
We end up playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

Once I was climbing the Feladan Wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I saw stars and I heard bells ring
But still held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling

I remember this gal from a long while back
We'd hunt this and we'd hunt that
She was my queen and I her king
Till I let her play with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

Once I was running through the Blighted Lands
Critters coming at me in droves and bands
It sure was hard to run from them things
With both hands holding my ding-a-ling-a-ling

There's a gal I know, so big and bold
Some folks say she's just too durned old
But I know she's a sweet young thing
Cause she tried to take my ding-a-ling-a-ling

This here song it ain't so bad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding-a-ling

Your ding-a-ling, your ding-a-ling
We saw you playin' with your ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling everybody sing
I want to play with my ding-a-ling


My Ding-A-Ling By Chuck Berry

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver-bells hangin' on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want to play with my ding-a-ling

You know then momma took me to Sunday School
They tried to teach me the Golden Rule
Ev'ry time the choir would sing
I'd take out my ding-a-ling-a-ling

And then mother took me to Grammar School
But I stopped off in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
Catch me playin' with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring
But held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling

I remember the girl next door
We used to play house on the kitchen floor
She'd be the queen, I'd be the king
And I'd let her play with my ding-a-ling-a-ling

Once I was swimming 'cross Turtle creek
Man them snappers all around my feet
Shure was hard swimming 'cross that thing
With both hands holdin' my ding-a-ling

Girl downstairs, she's so big and bold
Grandma warned me, she's too old
Used to take me swinging in the schoolyard swing
Swing down and take my ding-a-ling-a-ling

This here song it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playin' with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling...

Your ding-a-ling, your ding-a-ling
We saw you playin' with your ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling everybody sing
I want to play with my ding-a-ling

[Ephriamite]

maybe one more,,,, heh heh

Apologies for the formatting, cut and paste from Word is highly annoying. I don't think I can enter this one in the contest since it's not to any particular tune, though it is meant to be sung long and smoky in a manner akin to things like Gerschwin's _Summertime_. It's all about the shard merge.

Consolidation Night
End of our world?s days
We?re not losing sight
Of old Istarian ways

World keeps on spinning
Aegis is not winning
This is our beginning
Of new Istarian ways

We?ll keep on fighting
Until the unBlighting
That is the requiting
Of our Istarian ways

Consolidation Night
Start of our world?s days
We?re showing foes the might
Of all Istarian ways

Never losing sight
Of our Istarian ways

Ceder Zone
Based on 'Danger Zone', by Kenny Loggins

Heading out from Kion,
Running past the spawns of ore,
Sold a couple bows,
And need to go make some more.
Highway to the ceder zone
Makin' boards out in the ceder zone!

Forest crawler huntress
Makin? her rounds tonight.
She sees you runnin? down the road
And shoves it into overdrive

Sprinting through the cedar zone
She'll chase you
Right on through the Cedar zone!

She?ll never pause in chasing you
Until you're lying face down dead in the road
You?ll never know she's watching you
Until she catches you hauling a big load!

Even in the future
Memories will burn for thee..
Leveled up adventure
Even past your century..
You'll go back in to the cedar zone
Just'ta kill her
Back into the cedar zone
Vengeance in the cedar zone!

Istarian Soldiers

(Tune: "Irish Soldier Laddie", traditional, and "Aten Man", words by Joe Bethancourt)

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield on Aughendell's battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!

As I stood in a crowd I saw a valiant pally walking
With his armour and his sword, down the road in Dalimond.
He smiled and he waved and then walked on over to me
He beckoned and he called to me by name:

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield on a Harro battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!

On a quiet Kion street stood a ranger strong and hearty
As he bade a fond farewell to his pretty Saris maid
And his eyes were flashin' bright as he bent his head and kissed her
And these words he said before the portal gate:

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield on A Sslanis battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!

Came a dwarf with steady gait, with his kinsmen marching after
With his crossbow and his axe and his shining mithril mail
His lady shed no tears, for she marched to war beside him,
And passing by he bowed and called out "Hail!"

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield on a Last Stand battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!

In icy Kirasanct, before spiritists and reavers,
Stood a lady, fierce and proud, with a fire in her eyes
"The time has come for war, let us teach the Aegis vengeance!"
She raised her axe, and shouted to the skies:

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield on The Wedge's battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!

From city and from township come paladins and healers
Come the Gifted of the land, armor bright and weapons high
Monks and druids, berzerkers, ancient dragons clad for battle
And a hundred thousand others 'neath the sky!

Will you stand in the van and fight to free our land?
And hold the line against the undead crown?
Will you fight and never yield a single inch of battlefield?
For today's the day we take the Aegis down!
