Astinus gently places a heavy leather-bound book on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Reorx' scribed in rich green ink.

Author:    Reorx

Subject     'Twas the Night Before P-Wipe


'Twas the night before p-wipe when all through the mud
Not a mobile was stirring, not even Imp (Blood);
The progs were all running (room, object, and mob),
In hopes they would trigger and fire off a job.
 
The chars were all sleeping or running spam scripts,
With visions of stat-bumps and weapon farming in crypts.
And Chemosh was decaying, and I (Reorx) wearing my toupee,
When Zivilyn comes swearing in, havin' fell from his tree!
 
On the "imp" channel there arose so much cursing of chatter,
That I quickly switched windows to see just what was the matter!
"Oh shit!" Ziv did say, his text golden and wine,
"I think I just deleted everyone who's not currently online!"
 
"You did what?" I replied, now awake from my work,
"If you're pulling my leg, you're really a jerk!"
"I wrote a script," Ziv then said, "I thought it was gold,
It's supposed to delete all chars level one but quite old!"
 
"You know," he continued, "trial ones and what not,
But I put in a typo and every p-file got caught
By the deletion," he said, but ere I could remark
Muttered under his breath "Just one missing quote mark!"
 
When what do my wondering eyes see on-screen
But another "imp" line that just said "Fuck me."
I quickly asked, "You backed all up before?
Like one does, using either a ZIP or a TAR?"
 
"Um, no" Ziv then said, but followed right up
"I do have a directoy of a previous back-up
But let me check the date, oh fuck it's August
I just know I had another one made, really, honest!"
 
"Time to search our old files!" I did so quickly say
But I only had two old pfiles, and both were from May!
Ziv said "I made a backup before I did that change so severe!"
But all the files were from June, and not of this year!
 
And Zivi did swear, and did curse, and did moan,
And then said "Fuck it" and restored the files from August with promises to make it up with advancing levels, giving equipment, quest points, and other things.
 
The End.
