  • I'm planning on doing bursts of writing on the weekends. My word count will be updated Sunday night.
  • I love:

    My 160 minutes of fitness since November started. My over 600 minutes since I decided to get my behind in gear the middle of last month. The definition starting to develop. The pleasant soreness that informs me I'm making progress…

  • I hate that I keep hitting a massive wall of disinterest. 

    I really do enjoy MUD gaming. I dig politics, character development, weird religious fervor, design work, running events, and creating interesting advancement/reward systems to en…
  • This weekend was pretty awesome and very much needed. 

    I have one more week of unemployment before my job starts and I can start paying bills on -time- again. 

    I'm starting to see/feel results of my renewed fitness habits.

  • This weekend was a planned vacation, so I'll get started in earnest tomorrow. Glad to see so many people participating!

    I don't think I'm going to do an Aetolia based story, though. Credits are appealing, but I'm not at all sure what I'd …
  • I think your statement actually showcases the opposite fact to my mind. There are a lot of people hanging on to shops for the prestige, plus not wanting to lose their investment, but aren't actually managing them well. So they aren't turning a great…
  • The argument that somehow it's going to drive down prices is sort of silly to me. Herbs and refills are already ridiculously low. Designed goods have a built-in cost based on commodities. Most shops don't seem to be stocking at a price point very fa…
  • Can anyone justify having a limit on shops? Why can't we have a shopping district in each city and establish a baseline credit cost for the initial shop purchase, expansions function in ways similar to a house, and allow people to set them up like p…
  • I took a break for a few days, a very much needed break. 

    During that time, I jumped back on my fitness habits that I've been neglecting like crazy for awhile. Yesterday I finally got past the miserable start and got into my groove and st…

  • I love that the process for this job is just about done. Assuming there are no unforeseen glitches, the HR manager is happy to accept my last minute GED test and I'll start training Monday. 

    I love that I got two perfect scores on the GED…

  • The PNW will be a muuuuch nicer fit for you guys, based on your assorted rants on the forums. We have a pretty awesome culture/community up here. ^_^
  • Lilo & Stitch is tying for greatest with The Sword in the Stone. 

    I also love my friends, but I wish they'd time their mass invasions a bit better. I was hoping to have an empty house for one whole day, and instead I had company till …

  • I highly approve of the name. :D
  • The type of adjustment you are talking about, Kaeus, is the kind of stuff that casual pk'ers just don't care enough about to bother with in the first place. We need an entry-level introduction into pk so folks -like- Sessi can jump in and play but n…

  • Having entry-level combat requirements in the upper end of guild advancement stuff should not require much beyond basic healing and the sort of aide you've already been providing, Sessi. Basically - understand how to survive and how to provide a sup…

  • There definitely needs to be stepping stones into combat. For folks who have never done it before, it can be intensely overwhelming. IRE does not do a good job of creating a tiered system for PK that lets people get their feet wet and learn graduall…

  • Done and I suppose I should add the link for mine so we can properly harass one another.

  • ...bah, I didn't even notice the section. 

    Edit - Fixed, I assumed it'd post it where I was at. Apparently, I was wrong. :P
  • I had a lot of people complaining about the fact that they couldn't get homework done because of various sites being shut down. 

    I hate the background check/credit check portion of this job offer. For one thing, I have no idea of all my a…
  • I absolutely read the Templar help files, keep writing them. Eventually I'll have a working system. Other stuff keeps taking precedence. <<

    The PK environment here is -better- than some of the other IRE games I've been in, but I do …

  • I smashed the interview and was offered a job at my second choice employer. I'm still waiting to hear back from the company I'd prefer to work for. I have a position in the bag paying 50k annual salary, with excellent benefits, starting October 23. …

  • Apparently my link didn't link to the test results. HMPH.

    Anyway, I like this paragraph:
    INFJs are distinguished by both their complexity of character and the unusual range and depth of their talents. Strongly humanita…
  • http://www.humanmetrics.com/hr/JTypesResult.aspx 

    INFJ for me.

    It suggests I should become a writer. Ha. 
  • At my second, really successful interview, I found out that this job is also in the 50k and up annual salary range. So is the job I'm on interview #2 for tomorrow.

    Glee.

  • They had stuff like trebuchets, ballista, cannons, netthrowers, and battering rams similar items that were used for city defense (or in the case of the battering ram, to break down city gates). They had to be kept stocked with ammo and manned by gua…
  • Bandana patterns should have the ability to be worn on the head, currently, they are wearable on privates, legs, and feet. Which doesn't make much sense to me. 

    Masks should have a 'half-mask' acceptable reference, since 'half mask' is wr…
  • A fact learned the hard way by Omei's Undine.
  • Hey. 

    I like fedoras, okay? Leave those out of this. :( 

    -slinks back into her corner-

  • Two points: 

    Sometimes, I will play ignorant nawb because it helps me learn how other people interact and do better myself, because sometimes I get useful info I -didn't- know, and sometimes (not here, but in Imperian where I got pegged w…
  • Fishing in Imperian was pretty fun. That could also be partially because I replaced all the messages with ASCII art and goofy, smart alec commentary.  It could be improved upon to make it more dynamic.
