  • Star-nosed Mole

    Habitat: eastern Canada & northeastern United States

    A star-nosed mole is blessed with an incredibly specialized nose that allows it to find food within the labyrinth of underground tunnels it digs. The nose features twenty-two small tentacles that have touch receptors on their ends. When a mole comes into contact with something, it is able to decide if the object in question is food within 8 milliseconds. The normal time for a mammal is around 230 milliseconds.



    Proboscis Monkey

    Habitat:
    Borneo

    The proboscis monkey's huge honker is meant to attract the ladies. It can reach up to 7 inches in length. The nose also serves as a resonating chamber, allowing the monkey's warning calls to be amplified. When the animal becomes agitated, the nose fills with blood and swells, making warning calls louder and more intense.

    From BBC Wild Indonesia:


    Hooded Seal

    Habitat: Northwestern Atlantic and in the Greenland Sea

    Male hooded seals have a large nasal sac on their muzzles which begins to develop at the age of four years. The sac grows with age until it resembles a hood over the nose. To inflate the hood, the seal closes one nostril and blows up the membrane with the other. This sexy hood aids in courtship rituals & displays of aggression.

    Watch the hood in action:


    Pinocchio Frog

    Habitat: New Guinea

    Very little is known about the Pinocchio frog since it was only just recently discovered in New Guinea's Foja Mountains in May of 2010. The frog was witnessed being able to inflate and deflate it's long, skinny nose.

    Deep Sea Chimaera

    Habitat: temperate waters worldwide at depths of 200-2000+ ft.

    The deep sea chimaera's snout is fashioned with thousands of sensory nerve endings which enable it to find food along the sea floor in total darkness. The first dorsal fin is equipped with a mildly poisonous spine which it uses in defense.

    Tube-nosed Bat

    Habitat: New Guinea & New Britain

    Tube-nosed fruit bats have a weak spot for figs. Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to breathe when your face is smushed inside of a juicy fig. These tubes act as "snorkels" allowing the bat to breathe when it's mouth is busy devouring a succulent fig.


    Which animal do you think deserves a nose job ASAP??

    I'm going to ignore all the extremely ridiculous assumptions you made (that my roommate has terrible surfing habits, that I'm insinuating that you guys aren't professionals, that I came to my question because I thought correlation = causation, that my friend is a cheater? screw you?.. none of which are correct) and instead ask a new question, my real question:

    KOL is a recreational game and something you should be having fun with. If you find that you are no longer having fun and are becoming frustrated with the situation, then take a break. Step away from the computer for a while and go for a walk. Maybe go grab lunch with your friends.

    Some "fixed" quests have a level cap on them; exceed that cap and you cannot redeem. Due to the length of time quests have been bugged, honorable thing to do would be a temporary lifting of these caps. Has there been any discussion on this?

    Ah, Sokka... it's been a while since you got a chance to show up in this thread.
    All snarky images aside, allow me to explain why this sort of thing doesn't work. First of all, GM actions can only be performed from GamersFirst offices.

    You're right, these critters look like they could use a Long Island plastic surgery more than I do. It's curious how some features have developed over time. There must be some purpose to those weird noses.

    I agree, these creatures could use a cosmetic procedure or two! Aside from a nose job, they could use a buccal fat removal procedure.

    Perhaps they're too wrapped up with their own version of KOKO and other titles, or maybe there's some sort of miscommunication somewhere along the line. Regardless, I have to admit that I've never quite felt that the developers fully appreciate exactly how many troubles KOWorld faces despite our best efforts to educate them.

    As I have explained many times before (seriously people, this isn't hard to understand), GamersFirst is not a developer for KOL. We have absolutely no legal rights, ability, or even the employees necessary to do anything to the game coding. We don't have a development team, though I sincerely wish we did. The developers are Mgame. It's been Mgame from the very beginning and that has never once changed.

    There must be a special reason why their noses are like that. I wonder if there's also a list of animals who need breast augmentation Orange County. That list would be wild!

    Primero la policia puede tomar todas las acciones que quiera ante una sospecha fundada o una denuncia. Eso no quiere decir nada. Mañana van a tu casa y te detienen, eso no te hace culpable. Otra cosa es cuando salga el juicio y la resolución que tenga.
    En este caso, por lo que parece a primera vista, lo mas probable es que el caso lo echen para atras y encima tendran que indemnizar a los de razorback por las molestias.
