It happened last January and was quite unexpected. I wrote a few verses about afterward:
I was in my study lost in thought
A NESing answer being sought,
About the time the clock struck twelve,
While in a musty tome I did delve—
The change came without sound
Upon refresh—on the screen I found
Arcane symbols of ancient lore
Misplaced names and much much, more—
Too little sleep or too much wine,
Something’s wrong, this screen’s not mine;
Click again, reload the page,
Server wars are being waged;
Now I take a peek, slow and long
To make sure things are where they belong;
But Birdjaguar’s there embolded bright
In a box that’s on the right,
And flashing now with impatient call
A new pm from Thunderfall…
