Maybe he could try a game store? I know a few local places here that have people that meet and TT. They just have pre-generated chars for people who want to 'try it out'. Although, I find that D&D is the gateway drug and people get hooked.

One of my first games I found without invite or friends on it was a Robotech MU*

Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Then the murders began.

I am Sam. Then the murders began.

In the great green room. Then the murders began

The night wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another his mother called him “WILD THING!”. Then the murders began.

The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day. Then the murders began

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?' Then the murders began.

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy. Then the murders began.

I think it's too fricking hard to automate RIFTS cg. Ugh. It hurts my brain to think. However, as someone who was on a game in the 90s. There was never anything told not to automate the game. We tried for a few but there were too many bugs and it drove our coder crazy (and I broke it a lot), so we took it down. Although I doubt you are talking about that game. >.> .. no wait I mean..

I need this game to happen so @lordbelh will play with me again. At least I'm honest in my reasoning?

@Admiral

I'm not sure where you are located (and it's none of my business), but like @Auspice says there are things out there. In fact, there tends to be (in most places) even something for the 'gappers'. Those people that make too much on paper but still live paycheck to paycheck.

NO! @Julia-Cornelia NO!

You leave this thread and go troll the others.

I banish the with the power of NO.

Does anyone know his characters on TR? I'm horrible at remembering what staff goes to what alt, or what staff covered what.

@Ganymede

Hmmm.... I know people with frequent flier mi--- um...

I have heard free booze, Dayton.... now throw in free room, free airfare and free food... I'll be someone's bitch.

@Ganymede

Obviously you should come visit with @Auspice and we will go sing. Actually, I'll probably drink while you two sing.

It's hard when relationships are going through the rough patches. It's hard to allow yourself not to be okay.

If you ask anyone in life, my super power is my optimism. They say this all gloriously well and are proud that I, their friend, is probably the most happy and positive person. So my confession? I hate it. I hate every little moment of it. My optimism is in most instances the largest lie in my life.

I was raised by an addict and that 'just keep swimming' is just keep lying. Smile! If you smile no one asks questions. If you laugh it off, no one inquires too much to the bruise or the fact your parent is still asleep. Then you start protecting them and the best way to do that? Never show a negative thought or emotion. It becomes this perfect stage act and you just cannot stop even when you want to. Why? Because you have cultivated this image and now you have to maintain it. You can't be sad because you are the one they always expect to be happy. You can't be 'a realist' because they are looking to you for all the silver linings on all the dark clouds. The worst thing? Is you lose yourself and your identity because you are think people won't love you/care for you/hang out with you when it's bad. Also, you find it as a truth because you make people double uncomfortable when you are upset. You are their security blanket and your optimism is their drug and they don't know how to let you be a real person.

TL;DR - I might have jut got too real for MSB - Sorry.

@Auspice

OOOOOHHHHEEEEEMMMMGEEEE

Normally, I'm polite to people coming to the door, but my goal is to get them to go away as quick as possible. I take their religious track, make nice and send them on their way. God the Mother people came by and I was like wait, what? That one, I admit I totally took the time to hear out.

@Auspice

You don't have to justify your feelings. Your roomie is in the wrong here. I'm all for people bringing home who they want and doing what they want (as long as I'm still safe and feel safe - don't bring home the high meth head yo). However, I'm not okay with it when their not there. For a few reasons. So I'll hand them over and you can give them to her.

1. I don't like surprise people - That is a way to get the surprise person harmed. If I am home alone and you aren't the one coming in the door, it might not work out well for the other person. I'm not prone to violence, but I am prone to personal protection.

2. People aren't always who they appear to be. I like my stuff not stolen. I like drug deals not done in my apartment. I like things on the up and up.

3. Here's really the one that should be first. RESPECT. I don't even bring a friend over to another friend's house without asking. That's just if they are going to be there for a moment with me quickly. I mean we grew up asking our parents if people could come over, it's obvious that people need to be made aware.

4. Anxiety. People who are not my people left there causes deep deep deep anxiety on my part. Now, if we talk about it and I'm prepared, then I can alter my reactions and you know understand it's happening.

I have had a roomie who gave her boyfriend her key to our apartment and he did drug deals out of the place. I came home early and was like um... no. He also had other girls over #KeepingItClassy - So really, you have to know the person well and EVERYONE living there has to be okay with it. I don't give out keys or grant access until all parties are comfortable. Your home is your sanctuary and your safety area.

Obviously, by the length of this post, I'm angry for you.

Oh hell no
@Auspice

OH HELL NO

I'd be having a roomie talk about who has access to the apartment and when. I have a right to my feelings of comfort and safety too. So I'd be like:

Hey, I know this hasn't come up before, but we need to talk about visitors. I'm not really comfortable with them here when you aren't without some discussion beforehand.

Being out of work for almost /six/ fucking months.

Sidenote: If anyone is independently wealthy out there and wants to give me a few grand, hit me up in PM (haha sobs hahaha)

My friend got hedgehog ones. The material feels super soft.

Lularoe... is that the place I can get penguin leggings?

I should look into this sleep study. There is a list of medical 'I should do this' like I need an MRI, but...

I'm so horrible at adulting.
