  • It's 94 here, with high humidity. Nobody I know even has A/C. We made a massive pile of sweetened mint iced tea and we are probably going to have Jello for dinner because it's too. damn. hot. to consider making food.

    I despise s…
  • Vharen did a decent job of explaining that.

    It's nice in theory, but  once it becomes encoded has a very high potential of becoming a tedious, aggravating enforced mechanic that forces you to go make a sandwich while you wait for the time…
  • 90s + 50% humidity + no A/C.

    Kill me now.
  • Extra, extra like for Good Omens and Terry Prachett. American Gods is also an excellent read (Neil Gaiman). 
  • Evil comes in all stripes, man.

    One of my favorite characters was a completely screwy in the head lolita-esque girl who was OBSESSED with ribbons and lace and pretty shiny things and also was working on creating an army of undead babies w…
  • (Quote) While I -do- get this, I think that the primary problem for newbs getting into combat is coding. There seems to be a few systems floating around that are serviceable, and the advent of firstaid gives everyone a chance to at leas…
  • There are plenty of reasons to get into PK 1v1, the game has a number of mechanical encouragements, and there is also -le gasp- RP reasons.

    Group fights can still occur, but instead of them being 5v5, they can be 5 groups of 1v1.  
  • Are you kidding? If group fights were -not- the norm, I'd be far, far more likely to get excited and involved. I suspect I'm not the only one that feels that way. 1v1 is plenty enjoyable. 
  • My roommate borrowing my car and blowing up the tire. I can't change it because the person before me bought fancy tires with big rims that I can't get off with a normal tire iron (it won't fit in the bolt wells) and even if I get that off, there's a…
  • (Quote) This, right here, is the reason I am playing in Aetolia and not Imperian. 

    The fact that this community actually cares about fostering a positive environment in the game and outside of it, and that people actually -co…
  • (Quote) I regularly pause mid-sentence and Google words. Just to verify. I have like a 98% dead-on accuracy rate, but still freak out about it. 
  • No. But he doesn't really deserve the title of father. He choose to step out of her life when she was a baby. I didn't go after child support. Because I have been on food assistance at various times during her life, the process of getting him tested…

    • The sperm donor getting what he earned. We left him in peace for 12 years, kid finds him on FB, chats him up, he starts out nice and transforms into a complete and utter turd to her. She demands that he gets a paternity test, so we go throug…

  • This was made very clear ot me also, but it's also kind of fascinating to see what emerges.

    And I think the cat is mostly okay. It looks pretty mellow. My cats never sit still long enough for clear pictures. 
  • It has awesome music. Because I'm also DJing. 
    • Homemade panna cotta (for breakfast, even. -glee-)
    • My oldest daughter graduating middle school and moving on to high school and choosing to do an engineering tract.  \o/ 
    • Summer rain that falls down unexpectedly a…

  • Music is pretty vital to my experience, but I've never used it as atmospheric stuff for games. I do, however, occasionally have -a song- that I must listen to occasionally. 

    One of the most common songs that pops up as an 'This …
  • Yea, I realized it was meant in a joking fashion a bit later. I should learn to not respond to things until I've been properly caffeinated. 

    Admin volunteers definitely make mistakes, and sometimes even innocent ones blow up into great bi…
  • (Quote) I assume this is a thing that actually happened. I assume you did not have this sort of program going at the time so it was a rogue soon-to-be God. They are usually given slightly more leeway to maneuver than a player volunteer.…
  • Okay, so, Imperian has something like this,  which has mostly been MIA due to a lack of volunteer activity combined with missing Divine oversight. However, they did address a lot of the issues brought up here in their version of this program.

  • (Quote) Worth reading at times like this. 
  • Absolutely second/third/fourth the comments about updated help files and guild structures that set the theme for the guild (The Syssin is probably one of the best examples I've seen of this).

    OOC clans are not a great way to int…
  • Just spent a silly amount of time reading through these. Aetolians are a pretty diverse group! I like things that make you examine self and think. 

    1. I'm 32, a mother of 3 girls, polyamorous, pagan, a freelance writer, a …
  • And because they are already turning into nerds, and they are adorable (and I get a chance to publicly humiliate them), my rotten(awesome) girls when they were still cute and sweet. 

  • D'aww. This thread is awesome.

    A short and still smarmy me! Mom is a fantastic blues singer, so I was perpetually stealing her music making toys.
