The ballads 2

My ana, my little lottie, my moonlit fawn.

Verse 1 The server error pops up on my screen tonight, Not a smooth run to be seen. A kingdom of frustration, And it looks like I’m the only teen. The lag is stuttering like this rage I feel inside, Couldn't keep it cool, TGC knows I've tried. Chorus 1 Don’t let them lag, don’t let them freeze, Be the calm player they expect of me. Press retry, don’t cry, don’t let it show... Well, now I know! Chorus 2 Let it load, let it load, This delay can’t hurt me more! Let it load, let it load, I’ll wait like I have before! I don’t care if I DC all day... Let the bugs rage on— This lag never bothered me anyway. Verse 2 It’s funny how the rollback makes progress feel so small, And every soaring cape spin glitches into a wall. It’s time to see what I can do, To dodge these crashes and break through. No smooth gameplay, no patch for me... I’m free! Chorus 3 Let it lag, let it lag, I am stuck in this endless grind. Let it lag, let it lag, My patience is undefined! Here I stand, on this frozen gray... Let the bugs rage on. Bridge My ping is flurrying, flying up into the red, Each rollback hits like meteors falling on my head. I try to emote, but now I’m frozen in place. I can’t report; the chat has been erased! Final Chorus Let it lag, let it lag, I’ll glitch out with my broken wings. Let it lag, let it lag, TGC, please fix these things! Here I stand, disconnected today... Let the bugs rage on— The lag never bothered me anyway.

hope you're happy I hope you're happy now I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever I hope you think you're clever I hope you're happy I hope you're happy too I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission To feed your own ambition So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy right now Elphie, listen to me, just say you're sorry You can still be with the wizard What you've worked and waited for You can have all you ever wanted (I know) But I don't want it No, I can't want it anymore Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap It's time to try defying gravity I think I'll try defying gravity And you can't pull me down Can't I make you understand You're having delusions of grandeur? I'm through accepting limits 'Cause someone says they're so Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know Too long I've been afraid of Losing love, I guess I've lost Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost I'd sooner buy defying gravity Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you can't pull me down Glinda, come with me Think of what we could do, together Unlimited Together, we're unlimited Together, we'll be the greatest team there's ever been Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em If we work in tandem There's no fight we cannot win Just you and I, defying gravity With you and I defying gravity They'll never bring us down Well, are you coming? I hope you're happy Now that you're choosing this (you too) I hope it brings you bliss I really hope you get it And you don't live to regret it I hope you're happy in the end I hope you're happy, my friend So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who ground me, take a message back from me Tell them how I am defying gravity I'm flying high, defying gravity And soon, I'll match them in renown And nobody in all of Oz No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down I hope you're happy (look at her, she's wicked, get her) Bring me down! (No one mourns the wicked, so we've got to bring her) Oh! (Down)

Ahem, good sirs, gather ‘round, let me spin a yarn, About this rogue, this villain, who fills my heart with scorn! Furgus is his name, a scoundrel of the worst degree, His presence is an ill wind, an affront to you and me! He walks with swagger, thinks himself a king, But his wit is dull, his rhymes, they cannot sing! He plots and schemes, like a rat in the cellar’s gloom, While I, with eloquence, seal his impending doom! And to sharpen my mind, for this lyrical fray, I sip the elixir, that brightens the day! A drop of liquid lightning, a draught of potent grace, It fuels this battle rhythm, and puts him in his place! Now hould yer horses, Silas, let me add a word or two, This Furgus git, he's rotten through and through! A weasel in a waistcoat, a serpent in a coat, He’d sell his own grandmama, for a single silver groat! He struts about like a bantam cock, all puffed up and grand, But he can’t hold a candle to the power in my hand! I’ve seen him whisperin’ in corners, plotting in the night, While we’re out here, standing tall, and shining like a light! And to give me the gusto, to fight this dastardly deed, I’ve got the elixir, a most vital need! A fiery brew, it warms me through, from my head down to my toes, It’s the key to our victory, as everyone knows! He thinks his cleverness is unmatched, a peak he’s reached so high, But I see through his charade, with a discerning eye! His words are empty vessels, a hollow, clanging sound, While mine are sharp and purposeful, on solid rhythmic ground! He wouldn’t know a syllogism if it slapped him on the face! He's a mere pretender, a stain of social disgrace! And while he wallows in the mud, with his nefarious ilk, I am soaring high above, like a falcon made of silk! And thanks to the elixir, clear and strong my vision is, I’ll outwit this Furgus fiend, that’s the task that is my biz! Aye, Silas speaks the truth, the lad’s got a point, ye see, This Furgus fellow’s got no sense of decency! He'd steal the stars from heaven, if he thought that he could gain, While we, the rightful champions, endure the driving rain! He’ll fail with all his scheming, all his wicked little plans, We’ve got the fire and the spirit, burning in our hands! He’ll crumble ‘fore the might of what we’ve got inside, The elixir makes us mighty, there’s nowhere left to hide! So raise your glass, good people, to this potion, bold and bright, And let’s consign this Furgus to the everlasting night! Elixir fueled and righteous, our victory is nigh! Furgus, you’re done for, so pack your bags and fly! Huzzah

Back in the days of yore When developers roamed free There was a matchmaking task and the best booster was bee Then star levels was added And MMR needs to align Not only by Elo skill But also by booster level incline This requires some thought of server and client together because booster choice Is by client determined So perhaps server provides In game config and per star Their MMR score valued for matchmaking results not be bizarre
