Once Richard was back home, he found an intriguing note waiting for him:
I would love to discuss this "Daz" thing with you over tea. Perhaps you can explain to me how one
"posts" in a "forum". Does this involve horseback riding? Must one travel to Rome? See you soon.
Charles R
You do realise that impersonating a Royal personage is punishable by thirty days in the deepest darkest smelliest dungeon in the Tower of London, where the rats are the size of Shetland ponies?
Richard: Oh, boy! Tea with the King! We can compare crowns. His Mum, the Queen, liked dogs, but evidently he likes cats. I bet he'll give me a tour of the Palace. Jack is going to be so jealous. The King (maybe I will be invited to call him Charles) seems to be a bit out of touch with modern online activity. I'll have to explain it all to him. Maybe I can sign him up for Premier.
Richard and Charles at Tea
Uh oh! I was not aware. Richard will protect me and use his "Richard's Robotic Rodent Remover" to clear up that dungeon. I'm sure I'll be safe. Besides, I can probably just fly out of there, if it comes to that. But thanks for the warning!
That looks like a case of "Your majesty, you are spoiling us"
I beleive that the Rodents of Unusual Size are at Elstree this week, for work on Princess Bride II.
That is a relief.
And we do (or did in the past) have Ferrero Rocher® here. I have even seen a commercial similar, if not identical, to the one you linked. It came up often at Christmas time. I thought that pile of treats looked familiar when I added it to the scene, but it didn't trigger a specific memory. You nailed it!
Late the party as always Congratuations on reaching and exceeding your 100,000 posts you old curmudgeon! LOL
Thank you, Richard, for all your help... you often seem like the only one who cares.
The Princess Bride reference made my week!
I admit that I have often had occasion to feel peeved when a post of mine has been removed or when the TOS has been followed to the letter... and I might add that I've always thought of Richard as too much of an apologist for DAZ. However, I doubt that I would be here posting this now had it not been for all his help in showing me where I've been going wrong and making mistakes (or just being plain dumb). I think I might have given up years ago.
BTW, I'm half convinced that Richard is actually a composite character - how could one person be there constantly year after year? 100,000 posts - I mean, how??
I have appreciated your moderating voice; it has been especially helpful for us minority customers. The Daz3d world is both withspread and a monoculture and your intervention when things became "impolite" has kept many a customer from leaving.
100,000 posts - that's a lot of work. In 20 years, that would be more than 13 posts per day - without a day off. Oh man. Congratulations!
Many congratulations, Richard. May your fingers never wear out.
Congratulations Richard and may our head butting continue for another 100k and you provide me with excellant help when my memory decides to take a holiday. How many time have I asked you how to remove that highlight every time I mouse over something in a scene lol
It turned out that King Charles was a quick study, and who better to instruct him than Richard. In no time, the King had his Daz account set up and was gleefully shopping and rendering away. He even posted a few messages in the forum and was quite proud to show off his new skills. It turns out that state of the art NVIDIA server setup in the palace basement was a great rendering platform. While the King was fully absorbed by Daz3D, Richard noticed an intriguing conversation wafting out of a room down the hall...
?: Wheee!!!!
??:Get down from there this minute! What would Mum say if she saw you swinging up there?
Richard crept down the hall on silent cat feet, to see what was going on. His diligent attempt to behave himself in the palace was thrown to the wind the instant he peeked in the door.
Richard: Let's Play!!
Congratulations Richard for the 100000 posts and thanks for all your advice that I find very useful and for the patience with which you keep the forum alive. I hope you can continue with the same energy for a very long time. You are the solid point of reference of the community! Thanks!!! :)
Thanks Barbult for your funny posts that cheer up the forum!:)
Bravo!!
Congrats Richard, you are the glue that holds these forums together! I don't know how you manage it, I would have given up about 99,000 posts ago.
And thanks Barbult for all the adorable renderings, great work.
Congratulations Richard! 100000 posts in the DAZ universe is an unthinkable feat, and all made in such a patient, steadfast way to aid and moderate us mad DAZ-zers!
I must confess however that too much of what I know of your exploits come from Barbult's renders of homage...
barbult, for those among us that might be missing out on some of these visuals of Richard's exploits, I hope you consider setting up a thread in the Commons or Art Studio, pulling them all together for posterity. Thank you for your amazing work in creating and maintaining these historical records, and keeping us entertained.
(And wow, you're coming ever closer to 25000 posts yourself?!)
At least I can honestly say I didn't start it. And also feel releived at the (temporary) absence of ROUS at the Tower, as I fear they might have had issues with me.
Thank you all - except caravelle, I was trying not to work ouit the average rate of posting
Congratulations and thanks Richard for your extra mile of patience over at the forums.
No, in the 13 yrs I've been a mod he has not taken a day off that I can remember. He has taken half days off but because of doctors appointments, not actually for rest. He has been scolded many times over the yrs from our in house mother (Ann) and the team but he won't budge.
Sir Richard Haseltine, for the great achievement of 100,000 posts....
I hope this isn't where the headsman slips in by the side door.
Yes, I have often thought I should put all those renders together some place. Even I can't find most of them now. They are scattered about in many different threads. Lots are in the Daz+ only forum, because they were part of contests or other topics there. That means than some customers can't see them, even if I were to link to them. I need to gather not only my renders, but all the text of the ongoing stories, and some of the responses from Richard and other users, like you, that inspired the next render in the series. It will be a big job. I'm leaving on a trip soon, so I will be away from my computer for a few weeks. All this will have to wait.
I'm pleased that so many people have commented that they enjoy the renders of Richard's exploits.
What a life he lives! (At least in my imagination.)
Oh well, I was expecting the forum post count for Richard to perform a numeric overflow causing the collapse of the space-time continuum and for Schrodinger's cat to wander out to reboot the universe. Or maybe i blinked and missed it?
