Re: Random~
This is how I'd sum up the first game I ever hosted as well. It was on RYM so it is now lost in internet purgatory, but it was infamously known simply as "Game 8" when the community was still up and running.Dom wrote:Favorite game I hosted? Probably my first on LP (pixar)... both horrifically bad and wonderful experience.
playeD?
IDK JFC
We were all still new to the game so the community as a whole was in that experimental stage where we were just trying to figure out what worked for us. Long story short, I ended up having to set an unbreakable RYM record for modkills in a game, we had two scum partners bus each other hardcore out of the gate (harhol & MrMungbean, if my memory is correct), and the game concluded with a botched lynch tally and an inconclusive resolution. It remains the only draw I've ever seen in mafia. Train wreck that it was, everyone told me it was a fantastic game to play in.

A gripe: I'm noticing that all of the TV Heists have awarded a Best Roleplay banner to the winners of their Best Roleplay vote, with the exception of Futurama. I co-won that vote and I want to display it for all the Syndicate to see!

No, I never give her credit for any of it. She just Googles whatever questions I pose and goes from there. No matter how many times I've addressed her, she insists on doing it.
Today I caught her searching, "How does this piece make you as the reader feel?"
The district says it's my job to get her to pass a state standardized test next month.

Re: Random~
It's been a letdown in my area so far. It's just been a light snowfall all day, with nothing really sticking to the ground. which is a relief, because we just got 6+" last week.
It's supposed to continue through the night though, so we'll see.

Re: Random~
I was just getting my haircut and there was a mother at the barber shop with her two young sons. While the older kid was getting his hair did, the younger brother was getting restless and wanted to go outside. It’s a nice day out there, I can’t blame him. But I heard his mother tell him, “If you go outside someone is going to snatch you up.” It brought me right back to this article.
I’m not a parent, I have no experience with bearing and raising children and don’t know what that’s like. But to me that brand of parenting seems more harmful than good. Of any of the myriad reasons you can give to keep a kid inside, that’s not one that I’d encourage. You’re instilling paranoia and anxiety in your kid by telling him that The World is out to get him, and by extension restrict his childhood independence. If we magnify that mindset, a kid will grow up afraid of what’s out there and remain dependent when they shouldn’t be. Maybe, i dunno, my stomach turned when I heard this woman I don’t know anything about say those words.

Re: Random~
I’ve found that border crossing is entirely dependent on the attitude of particular guards. I’ve had one experience of an overzealous guard who spent a couple of minutes grilling everybody individually. That line moved painfully slow and we quickly figured out why when we got to the front of it. I’ve had others who ask a handful of questions but go through them quickly. I’ve had others who just ask the bare essentials and wish me a good day after only about 30 seconds.

We're at -30 celsius with the wind chill. I don't plan on going back outside today. Or tomorrow, apparently, because i just got another email letting me know that the school will be closed for a second straight day. that's my entire first week of classes snuffed out by snow.
