I think we've been through "Deathrace 2000".

Remembrance Day, here.  Though, thanks to an experiment, I'm still working.  So I won't be on much, but tomorrow, yes.  :)

Experiment? Probing the secrets of the cosmos, Cyan? ;)

Sorry for the delay. Had to travel across the country by car, both ways, so I just got back recently. Here's hoping Aaron still has his head! :D

And I've been stupidly busy for the last few days (as opposed to busily stupid).  Hopefully things will settle down by the weekend...

Sadly, not the cosmos.  Only charred waste.  :(

I'm in the stupidly busy area myself, Dworkin, so I perfectly understand.  :(  Apoligies for being so behind in our chat.

Aaron, do you often have that effect on women ?  :-) :-) :-)

Choking, seizures, followed by a potentially brutal death?

No. Not often, anyway, and especially if they're not related. :p

Nicely put.  :)

Thanks, Ron. It was exactly what I felt at the time when I really took into account what was going on with Crethe. I rather like her. I hope we don't have to ruin her. :)

I'm drowning in work, here (Ron knows the details).  Will try to get something up today or tomorrow.  :)

It's okay, Cyan. We appreciate your hard work for the betterment of mankind. :D

Betterment of... ?  Bwahahahaha!

It's Science!  You know what scientists do?  They expose students to chemicals and radiation, then time them to see how long it takes for their organs to fall out.  Then they graft on cloned mutant animal parts and...

Okay, yes, betterment of mankind.  For Science!

I don't do work on animals.  That's cruel.

I build Deathrays, remember?  :)

Ha ha. When I read "Deathrays" I instantly thought of a Manta ray, and how totally awesome and brutal a "Death Ray" would probably be. :p

Cyan's ushering in the inevitable overthrow by deadly sealife. I knew it all along. :|

O_O

THERE'S a novel idea...must send it to the bio people.  :)

*cough*
Nothing to see here. :D

I would love to see what was edited.

Should post today!

Please forgive the rambling pseudo-psychology.  :)

I was originally going to say something trite and light hearted regarding pseudo psych posts and how much I like them in this game, but then I read your actual post, Cyan and realized that you might as well have been describing the way I've played Aaron as a character all these years. It really opened my eyes.

Not only to how I depicted his narrow and selfish personality for so long, but also for the entirely opposite direction I'd like to take him, now that I'm back in the game. It's almost as if you were reading my mind and just speaking it aloud.

A masterful post, Cyan.

If it struck a tone with you, Aaron, then I'm glad.  I hadn't even considered it in terms of Aaron himself - it's just some of my own theories and thoughts about why people hurt each other so much (I'm talking normal, everyday stuff, not psychopaths wandering around murdering, that's a different section of the bell curve), why a common problem I see (again, this is all from my perspective and thus could be totally incorrect!) seems to be high ego and low self-esteem, and why many people focus so much on putting others down.

I'm really, really honoured you liked the post.  :)

...but can we also hear the trite, light-hearted comment?  ^_^  I like those!

Ha ha, well, I can't really remember what I was going to write at the time. It was certainly light-hearted, though. And trite! Quite trite. :)

I'd say that Aaron definitely thought highly of himself but didn't actually feel that way. That reflects alot of his old pathos and bad attitude. :)
Now it's more along the lines of doing things for others as opposed to himself, not so much to atone as to find a reason worth living for.

I was reading our old "I can't believe they said that!" thread and was really reminded of how I used to write and play him. I'm... quite different now. Much less verbose, I think. I'm mostly trying to get back into Aaron's shoes, being less me and more him again. It's pretty tough, but then I read great posts like the stuff going on in your thread, and I'm reminded of how I can improve.

So, uh... this is great game? I think we all agree on that. My RTJ was way back in '04, I think... so I'll be hitting ten years in this game (off and on? Ha ha!) some time next year. I just wish life had allowed me the time to be here during that whole span. Oh well, I'm just glad to be back! :)

Oh dear...what did I say about being less verbose? o_O

Aaron, you've been around here a long time.  We all have, by now.  :)  You've added a great deal to the game!  And while it's understandable that life has taken you away, I'm very glad it has also allowed you to return!  ^_^

...also, you've made me remember the 'I can't believe they said that' thread.  Now I must go read it again.  :)

Ha ha. Sorry, guys. My PC finally kicked the bucket and I'm trying to find a reasonable alternative. Posting may be a bit off and on till then. :)

Been a bit under the weather myself, and that's why I have lapsed a little on the posting.  Hoping to catch up...

And Christmas is coming!  Slowdowns abound!

Hopefully you'll be feeling better, Aged One, and Aaron will get a new computer with a 'Punch User's Nose' app.  :)

Happy  Holidays  to  All.  :)
