Wow beautiful,  it reminds me of the planet we did the survival test on and Bura of course.

 Yes Admiral my health comes first as always.

To my knowledge it is the only cold-weather rainforest in the world.To my knowledge it is the only cold-weather rainforest in the world.  We get the moss growth’s like that around here, especially in bands along the Cascades.  None of it is big enough to be considered a rainforest, end it dries out in the summer unlike the Olympic Peninsula which has Puget Sound wrapping around it.

    I  used to go camping There as a kid.  The streams are lined with quartz rocks, and can be blinding white in the sunshine

Now!

Roy's RTJ was 2 Feb 2011...

That easily makes him the longest-running character I've ever played.  I've had other characters longer...but they had extended periods of being shelved, or weren't played regularly.

Billie you and I are the newbies

 so?  I did  some checking..going to  post #1  when the player  first  asked  about entering the game.

 Zob came in March, of the Same  Year Garrat game in, but Garrat was in October ( anniversary date  20th!)

 then I checked on Herny... Henry came  in 2011  Roy was  Feb 3  2011..i am adding  dates to the post now.

Did I really?

Yeah we are the newbs Lizzy! But that is alright...I feel like I am home. :)

 i went  by the first PM i got from a player who was accepted... so yep Henry.. You even introduced ourself as a player from the football game!

 Slick? I don't have PMs  that go back to when you joined? If you happen to have    the PMs  after your  rejoined..let me know what date  was on your  1st PM  to me.

 I could have put up Hannah and Stoly, i kept them there.. Hunters PMs are gone for  some reason.. Justin and  Jesse and a few others  are there  yet.. but i only wanted to have the  'active' players mentioned.

 sorta like the 'kill list'..only those still in the fight  are listed

I think I'll put this   in one of the note  threads, and Edit it  as new players come  aboard.

( if we get any new ones!!)

 but?  I said this before... we have a good group,  there may be times  we drive  each other crazy?..but its part of the Game/team thing... I'm sure other games  feel 'tight' with thier  core players...but..how many ensemble cats  hat 100K+ posts!!

going to leave  for Grandaughters CC Meet..i think its the last one.

 I'll hit the  boards when i get back

 Yes truly amazing I felt welcomed as soon as I joined and Lizzy has changed a lot since she joined. The game is amazing, I love all of you so much, but also you have been my support, my rocks, my sounding boards through some tough times, you are family to me always. Sorry got mushy there.

 Glad you feel that way Billie this is a great game. With great players and an amazing GM.

I am pretty excited guys. So...the gym that I go to has this mascot that I decided I wanted to draw (it's still not fully finished) and I happened to post what I had done so far and now, both of the gym owners want to pay me for my fanart. Now I just need to finish it. :)

Awesome Billie, that is great

I am pretty excited about it! They want to put it on a shirt and such and sell it.

very neat!..My son  does  cookign blogs  for 'dads'  and  does  some Vid  came  stuff, and  my oldest granddaughter  drew a  snake-thing and he put it on his site and  folks have been getting it for hoodies and such.

 who knows, this  could be a whole new career for billie!

I honestly would not complain lol!

Logged on now making posts, sorry I've been so awol this weekend no real excuse other than laziness.

Also oh wow, I didn't think I'd be in the top 5 longest players in this game. It's been a great 5 years so far, and I am looking forward to many more.

 I wanted to include  folks  like Hunter, Stoly, irina and a few others..but thier gone.. i'm just going to keep the   active player with the name one one of thier characters

   We are proud to be here, and we are proud to have known those people who have moved on, passed away, or changed character.

   Melia, I personally know how hard it is to be on point.  We love it when your here and understand it when your not.  Thanks for being part of the team.

   You too Lizzy.  We love your character, but value your freind ship over your posts.  Your an exceptional person.  While we immediatly knew it,  You have to be, your girl has just met you and is willing to put everything on the line for you.  That in it's self speaks volumes.

   Boss, they are suggesting a new thread.

Okay, momentary vent session...

Utah's governor finally took the reins, apparently, on coming up with some kind of state-wide Covid policy.  I didn't catch all the details...but because of his new policy, our attendance cap at the park has been raised...at least double what it was, and I think it's actually closer to triple.  That's great, from a money standpoint...

But I was helping out with the crew for one of the shows tonight.  It happens on an open-air stage at one end of the park's midway, and in a normal year, it's a standing-room-only event...people are jammed in around the stage, shoulder-to-shoulder and probably ten or twelve deep.  We're supposed to enforce some kind of social distancing policy, and mask use, in that environment, and when there's only six thousand people on the park, that's pretty reasonable to do.  When there's fifteen thousand people on the park...*shakes head*

During the first show tonight, I was standing between the (round) stage and the sound booth, looking at the swarm of yelling, screaming, cheering people...and I felt like the sheriff in Jaws, on the beach and just waiting for someone to start yelling 'Shark!'  I'm not an alarmist person, generally speaking...but that just looked like disaster waiting to happen.  And I'm not terribly concerned for myself (partly due to the fact that I've long ago resigned myself to the thought that I will, in all likelihood, end up with Covid somewhere along the line, and depending on my mental, emotional, and physical state when it happens, I may only have the same mild symptoms that everyone I know who's had it went through.  That said, the last time I had the flu, I was laid out for a week and it took me most of a week to recover again afterwards, so I may be facing more serious repercussions...)  But the thought that, in that crowd, one person could easily infect ten or twenty--that was more than a little alarming.

And I'm trying to reassure myself that this is just park management saying, "Well, the best information we have says this should be safe, so we're going to do it."  My more cynical side, however, has the sneaking suspicion that someone said, "Hey, you know...we only have two more weekends after this, anyway...let's take every inch they'll give us.  If an outbreak happens, it's most likely not going to hit before closing weekend, and even if it does, those are traditionally some of the slowest nights we have during the Halloween season, so if they decide to shut us down because of health reasons, we're not going to be out much."  And I kinda hate that I think that's a very plausible scenario...

I didn't realize how anxious I was about tonight at work while I was there...there was no time.  But, yeah...the irritability of my stomach tonight makes a lot more sense now that I actually have time to stop and think.  I hope I'm just having a pessimistic bout, rather than actually seeing the situation for what it is...but yeah.  I haven't been this reluctant to be at work in a long time...and this time, it has nothing to do with any of the people I'm working with.  Two more weekends and change...I can do this...
