No, for you, I can assure you the special lowercase text minis will not be dedicated. The problem is, do they show up in the HoM, or are they just a bit of verbiage off on the side?

Can I get a "Nerf" minipet?

It's just the word "Nerf", floating around like a kuunavang. Everytime it comes into contact with someone they lose all their armor, skills, and are reduced to lvl1.

Please!

Nice! Gaile has confirmed that the new text minis are undedicated and that all minipets will now be given skills that activate when they touch someone! Go A-net! Nice weekend! Could even say... eggselent... Or something...

Oh, now, I was thinking more along the lines of:
1) Chief of Consonants
2) Victor of Vowels
3) God of Grammar
4) Saint of Syntax
5) Spelling Bee Champion

But I think I like yours better. ('Specially since you know how to spell Newbery -- most miss that one!)

Why do you hate the text? The text has shown you nothing but love and affection. You've broken the text's heart you cruel bastard. The text now wishes it never met you and is crying in the corner. SEE WHAT YOU"VE DONE TO THE TEXT!?!? WON'T YOU EVER THINK OF THE TEXT!?

And still you need text to express it! What a funny strange paradox that communication gives us

Let's go back to textual MUDs guys (try it, just for the feel ): http://www.ishar.com/telnet/

You have to farm for books, and the best of all of them, the Dictionary. Better do it in HM where letter drops at double rate

Nice weekend idea. Random text drops, letters, chinese symbols and numbers. Any text you find can be used to create a new character name and/or guild name.

I do not care much for text, I'm more of a visual person.

My friend pointed me to this tool called Textmod to change the text into images. Anyone has any insight on it? I would like to get it up and running before this fun weekend.

Not meaning to ruin the good fun in this thread, but anyone else notice this event is running 12 fewer hours than most weekend events? One can only hope the drops will last as long after it 'ends' as they did this past weekend. Or perhaps the 12-hour cut is to make up for the extra clover/ale drops?
