I Want A Proteus From Atlantis

I want a Proteus from Atlantis
Only a Proteus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky tinker toy
I want a Proteus to play with and enjoy

I want a Proteus from Atlantis
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just send him through the portal
That’s the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Atlantis morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a four star hero standing there

I want a Proteus from Atlantis
Only a Proteus will do
No Melias, no Mnesseusseses
I only like Proteuseses
And Proteuseses like me too

Mom says Proteus would eat me up, but then
Teacher says Proteus is a fishatarian

There’s lots of room for him in my 100 slot roster
I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his emblems

I can see me now on Atlantis morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a four star hero standing there

I want a Proteus from Atlantis
Only a Proteus will do
No Melias or Mnesseuseses
I only like Proteuseses
And Proteuseses like me too

Candle In The Wind (Goodbye Proteus/An Ode to Atlantis Rises)

Goodbye Proteus
Though I never pulled you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on their defense teams
And you made others change their game

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like Atlantis Rises in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have pulled you
But I was just a newb
Atlantis burned out long before
Your legendary status ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
SG created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the players still hounded you
All the forum had to say
Was that Proteus was found in the nude

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like Atlantis Rises in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have pulled you
But I was just a newb
Atlantis burned out long before
Your legendary status ever did

Goodbye Proteus
Though I never pulled you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Proteus
From the young man in the four hundred thousandth rank
Who sees you as something more than a fad
More than just our 4* purple weirdo

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like Atlantis Rises in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have pulled you
But I was just a newb
Atlantis burned out long before
Your legendary status ever did
Atlantis burned out long before
Your legendary status ever did

great lyrics, @TGW ! I have Proteus, but those lyrics (mostly) apply to how I feel about Wilbur, who I don’t have!

There are so many Atlantis heroes I still want (I would say need, but I suppose technically nobody needs any of the heroes… I can try to make do with the ones I’ve got in the meantime).

Every time AR comes around, I hope to get something new and exciting. They’ve made that a lot harder now, but… hey who knows. Maybe I’ll get a Wilbur or Proteus (or maybe even an Ariel, Tarlak, Ursena, Kageburado, etc.???) one of these days. At this point I’d even be somewhat happy to get a Mok-Arr. :grin:

I feel the same. I’ll still keep summoning in Atlantis with whatever Atlantis coins I can scrape together… just in case. But I’ll keep my expectations realistic :wink:

DR. HOOK - "Who Is Alice" - YouTube

Man, hide and blur do not play well together.

“Living Next Door To Proteus”

Sonya called when she got the word
And she said: “I suppose you’ve heard
About Proteus”
When I rushed to the phone screen
And I looked inside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big summons portal rolled up
Into Atlantis’ drive…

Oh, I don’t know why he’s leaving or where he’s gonna go
I guess he’s got his reasons but I just don’t want to know
'Cos for twenty-four months I’ve been looking down my bench for Proteus
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)
Twenty-four months just waiting for a chance
To summon him for real, and maybe block some mana deal
Now I’ve got to get used to not looking down my bench for Proteus …
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)

I grew up with stories of deeds in the raid
He carved his initials on the heroes he’d saved
Everyone sang the praises of Proteus
Just for a moment it shimmered purple
And my heard skipped a beat oh wouldn’t it be neat
But when the mist cleared it was … Prisca

Oh, I don’t know why he’s leaving or where he’s gonna go
I guess he’s got his reasons but I just don’t want to know
'Cos for twenty-four months I’ve been looking down my bench for Proteus
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)
Twenty-four months just waiting for a chance
To summon him for real, and maybe block some mana deal
Now I’ve got to get used to not looking down my bench for Proteus …
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)

And Sonya called back and asked how I felt
And she said: “I know how to help
Get over Proteus”
She said: “Now Proteus is gone
But I’m still maxed
You know I’ve been waiting
For twenty-four months…”
And a big Atlantis portal disappeared…

Oh, I don’t know why he’s leaving or where he’s gonna go
I guess he’s got his reasons but I just don’t want to know
'Cos for twenty-four months I’ve been looking down my bench for Proteus
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)
Twenty-four months just waiting for a chance
To summon him for real, and maybe block some mana deal
Now I’ll never get used to not looking down my bench for Proteus …
(Proteus, who the heck is Proteus?)

No I’ll never get used to not looking down my bench for Proteus …

Here’s another one from that weird minefield I commonly refer to as my brain :rofl:

Raid Wins for Nothin’

Now look at them spenders that’s the way you do it
You base your defense on the GTV
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Raid wins for nothin’ and cups for free
Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain’t poor
Maybe get a summons for a new Ursena
Maybe get a summons for another Noor

We gotta build up our TC20
Costume 4* deliveries
We gotta emblem our Tiburtuses
We gotta emblem Grimms and BT’s

See the little hero with the skull mask and the antlers
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little hero’s got his own DOT
That little hero’s on a very fast tear

We gotta build up our TC20
Costume 4* deliveries
We gotta emblem our Tiburtuses
We gotta emblem Grimms and BT’s

I shoulda’ learned to play candy crush
I shoulda’ learned to play tetris
Look at that mana, she got it buildin’ in the bar now
Man we could soon be dead
And she’s up there, what’s that? Surf crashing noises?
Ridin’ on the polearm like a blue banshee
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Get your raid wins for nothin’ get your cups for free

We gotta build up our TC20
Costume 4* deliveries
We gotta emblem our Tiburtuses
We gotta emblem Grimms and BT’s

Now that ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
You build your defense on the GTV
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Raid wins for nothin’ get your cups for free
Raid wins for nothin’ get cups for free

I want my, I want my, I want my GTV

“Whip It! (Titan)

Crack that whip!
Give the past the slip…
Step on a crack,
Break that titan’s back

When a titan comes along
You must whip it
Before the beast sits out too long
You must whip it
When the boards are going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it!
Into shape!
Shape it up!
Get straight!
Go forward!
Move ahead!
Try to kill it,
It’s not too late
To whip it,
Whip it good!

When a titan spawns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No titan gets away
Until they whip it

I say whip it!
Whip it good!
I say whip it!
Whip it good!

Crack that whip!
Give the past the slip;
Step on a crack,
Break that titan’s back!

When a titan comes along
You must whip it
Before the titan sits out too long
You must whip it
When your boards are going wrong
You must whip it

Now whip it!
Into shape!
Shape it up!
Get straight!
Go forward!
Move ahead!
Try to detect it,
It’s not too late!
To whip it
Into shape!
Shape it up!
Get straight!
Go forward!
Move ahead!
Try to detect it,
It’s not too late
To whip it!
Whip it good!

THE GREY WOLF OF GHOST SHIP

Now, this is a story all about how
My game got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the leader of an alliance called Ghost Ship

In Rogue War Machine trained and raised
On the battlefield was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin raid attacks outside of the school
When a couple of people who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my alliance hood
I got in one little fight and my girlfriend got scared
She said ‘You’re movin’ with your alt and me to Ghost Ship’

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking fine rum out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Ghost Ship living like?
Hmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear they’re prissy, bourgeois, and all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don’t think so
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for The Grey Wolf over there

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said Grey and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought ‘Nah, forget it’ - ‘Yo, homes to Ghost Ship’

I pulled up to the ship about seven or eigth
And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
I looked at my warship
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the leader of Ghost Ship

Here is one for @TGW

Hello forum my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a complaint softly straying
Left its seeds while I was playing
And the mission that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the thread of silence

In restless posts I walked alone
Narrow threads of whine and groan,
'neath the halo of a friendly host,
I turned my face unto the friendly post
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a flaming war
That split the core
And touched the thread of silence.

And in the naked screen I saw
Ten thousand players, maybe more.
People typing without speaking,
People reading without listening,
People writing posts that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the thread of silence.

Fools said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Read my posts that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the threads of silence

And the players bowed and prayed
To the rigged God they made.
And the flag flashed out its warning,
In the posts that it was forming.
And the flag said, the words of the profits
Are written on the issues walls
And content halls.
And whisper’d in the threads of silence.
