@magee101 It was super important to me that people new to the hobby and even just new to the game were helped and made to feel welcome. ❤ I'm glad that fond memories were made there.

@Tempest Wut? I didn't delete anything.

@Ganymede said in Do you believe in paranormal things?:

So, your name is Luca?

No, Luca was Vega's bass player and actually lived on the first floor.
He kept everyone up all night with the noise, until he started "running into doors".
The incidents were totally twisted around into something else.

One disappointing thing in China is beer. Chinese beer ranges from tolerable (the better ones from Qingdao) to stuff that barely manages to exceed even American beer in flavour. It's because of this that I have to keep scanning Taobao for bargains on imports. Like this:
BEER!

That's 48 half-liter tins of German beer. It's exported German beer, so pretty much the worst of the breed. Still, worst of breed from Germany exceeds best of breed in China so that's fine by me!

I guess I'm just going to stand over here and blush, then.

More seriously, thank you for the game! It was a fun premise that leaned into the horror in ways that I really enjoyed, and I found you both to be active and enthusiastic right up until 2020 just 2020ed the hell out of all of us. I'd love to play a game you run again, if time ever permits!

@Grim is a good person to entrust the game to going forward, and I definitely recommend that people check it out if you've got small-town fantasy/horror itches to scratch.

I once had a particularly hostile work boss tell me that I "made things difficult for myself" like I had some kind of magical way to control my brain chemistry.

@arkandel said in The basketball thread:

And it can be almost zero stakes for team owners especially in large markets because fans are gonna go buy tickets to their games and merchandise anyway. The New York Knicks for instance have been absolute shit for twenty five years and they're making money over fist, so...

Which is why I support nationalizing all sports franchises, including college teams; tying teams to municipalities; and allowing for the development of new teams.

@Cirno What if her flag were toggled was amazing in that way that makes you think man, who came up with this. Especially how he had to use all his gathered flags in a battle for world safety.

I'm pretty open and amenable to it. I'd like to sink my teeth into a long-term storyarc, so far I have Phoenix's main X-Plot but until the next RP for that rolls around, I got nothin' else goin'.
