This is the "OOC chat" of ASWOT.  If you have something to post that doesn't fit in any other thread, it goes here.  There is no topic, but some folks like to use this as a "clock in" and "clock out" thread.

Historical note: The first Lounge was created by Despyzer, the creator of ASWOT, back on September 13, 2002.  The thread reached over ten thousand posts in October 2006 before being closed due to changes in the RPOL site architecture.  Due to the new posting rules for RPOL v1.5, all threads over 1000 posts long lose the "all" link at the top and are therefore nearly impossible to archive.  So, the Lounge and any thread nearing 1000 posts gets closed and a duplicate or alternate is put up.

...and then I migrate that...

Man! That's some awesome (real-life) lore! Have any of you ever considered starting a History of ASWoT (sticky) thread?

Also, yeah, a new lounge is definitely needed. I've been getting this notification for weeks, now. It might be kind of exciting to start over, or maybe a bit somber? Maybe neither.

---

I don't know the rules for posting links on this website, so I will refrain.

Instead, if anyone of you who hasn't seen it (somehow) and wants to learn where I got the idea for my Koala Genocide, just Google^TM 'koalas are terrible animals copypasta'. It's a reddit post from Feb 2017.

Content warning #1: Curse words & Icky description of koala biology.

Content warning #2: You won't ever think of koalas the same way again.

It's super funny and legitimately educational. It's also kind of upsetting, though.

...and done, I think.

Hm... Any idea why my post got duplicated? Was that what you meant by 'and then I migrate that'...? Not complaining, though, just interested.

If you were worried about the post being lost, it's still in the other lounge thread, so it didn't get wiped for any reason(s).

Also, did Yoss actually post here earlier today, or was there another reason the OPITT (original post in this thread) is from their account, and just moments before you responded?

(OMG DID YOU HACK YOSS O_O IM CALLING DA EFF-BEE-EYE)

Regardless, whatever was done here seems overcomplicated. Wouldn't it have just been simpler to just create a thread called Timewaster's Lounge XLVIII and make the original post say whatever message you wanted?

I don't mean to sound critical, it probably doesn't matter, I'm just wondering aloud (or... rather... atype... since I'm not speaking rn)

I think he posted using Yoss's alias. We have a tradition here of posting as the "creator" of a game or thread (if they are GMs) when a new thread of that same game is created.

As for your koala killin scheme, you better watch out for the "mad koala."

https://dispatchesfromanorther...016/02/mad-koala.jpg

As far as additional lore is concerned, I recall that when Yoss first joined, he was so excited he posted in every open thread (probably a hundred or more), and he claimed royalty (King). But king only requires owing the last post of every post on the first page, so we created a new category of Necromancer (reviving dead threads) or something like that, which eventually became the NO LIFE award.

Yoss' enthusiasm for the game also eventually resulted in him being quickly escalated to GM status.

I miss Yoss. Hope he's doing all right.

I kind of wish I'd joined back in the day when it was at its height. It sounds like it was a lot of fun. Of course, I probably wouldn't have understood it back then, seeing as I was still in the single-digits of years when this game was first created.

Oh yeah, I joined back in '07 and I guess I was in...middle school? And wasting time was what I did best in my teen years, so it was a blast back then. It's kinda nostalgic every time I come back on here.
If it had that level of activity these days I don't think I could handle it, but then again, I have other ways I waste time just as efficiently...like Netflix. I will always find a way. ^^;

It would be hard to keep up if those glory days were repeated, but it would be nice if we picked up some steam here with more posters.

Note that I changed the thread "(Testing) In the year 2012..." to just "In the Year..." I assume 9 years of "testing" is plenty, not to mention the year in the title. ;)

I think for that, it's necessary for more than one person to be online at a time.

And yeah I think it's safe to say nine years is sufficient testing... XD

comes in with an armload of beakers, electrodes and probes in varying sized
But.... okay....

Yeah, having multiple people online at the same time is definitely a struggle anymore. I'd like to say I had way more time to waste before I graduated college, but that's not entirely true. Like Kitty said, I just waste it doing other things, like watching videos on YouTube or streaming services, or working at my big girl job.

I will say that after spending 16 months doing full time school and full time work, I appreciate my leisure time way more than I ever did before.

"SilentMouse, please use personal protective equipment.  The goggles, gas masks, gloves, radiation suits, salt and condoms are in the cabinet next to the work bench and summoning circle."

Must I, if we’re no longer testing?

Wait...
Am... am I the reason we can’t have nice things again?

>.>
<.<

For me, it's never about time wasting as much as letting some steam off to take a break from the stress of work. Sometimes it's good to make a little time to waste.

For me it's a weird balance. I'm an extrovert, unlike most of my friends, so finding the line between taking a break in a restful way and just plain wasting time is pretty tricky sometimes - especially in these weird corona times, of course.
So I just end up calling most of it "wasting time," whether it's truly a waste or not.

As an EMT in these times of the 'Rona, it's nice to have something I can look at that doesn't require a full lengthy character developing post, but rather just a quick answer or thought. Something that pulls me out of my day even for a second.

Not a waste of time, but rather a simple, sometimes needed, distraction.

Yeah. I thought posting would pick up with so many stuck in their houses. I was kind of out of it for a couple years, though, and it looks like others gradually started disappearing too. Time to shake the hornet's nest!

FourLegged points at the cabinet

If you're gonna start shaking hornets' nests, I'm outta here.
I'm not letting that old nemesis get anywhere near me.

FourLegged brings a freshly fermented piece of fruit to the slightly inebriated murder hornet at the end of the bar.

I had a near-death encounter with a murder hornet a few months ago.
Actually I was climbing up some rocks and nearly fell down in my hurry to get away, so it was a double near-death encounter. Good times.

I lived in places with tons of hornet's nests, including California. Been stung many times so I'm with you on that. Stay far away!

I had thought about sending a mass private message to all players stating that we are still here, and they are welcome to jump back in at any time.

Oh I have a particular string of bad luck with hornets (and other bees/wasps/etc but mostly hornets). Been stung a lot, my whole life. That's why I was particularly scared for my life when I moved to Japan and encountered the real MurderHornet^TM live and in the flesh.

I'm not sure how much that message would help, but then again, what could it hurt?

I didn't know you were in Japan! I'm in Japan.

What really? Small world huh! :)

Did anyone else notice this site went down for a couple days?

Yes. I'm always afraid when that happens that I'll lose players.

We must be getting old because now we are posting "Back in my day..." posts about ASWoT. :)

Stop it, I already feel older and older by the day T.T

"Back in my day..." would be a good thread idea :P

Sort of like that monty python skit that I've never seen, but have been told about endlessly.

I was thinking along the lines of the Saturday Night Live Skit with Dana Carvey.

I haven't seen that skit. I should watch more SNL, I've heard it's really good, but I don't know where to start, and I may be too busy. Also, I don't know exactly what it is (If I'm correct, it's kind of like a late night talk show but with a much bigger, rotating cast?)

Actually, I've also heard that it's hit and miss, so IDK if it's worth keeping up with, rather than just looking for the best clips?

They are the Grumpy Old Man skits. Here is one by way of example: https://www.bing.com/videos/se...detail&FORM=VIRE

Hello my fellow timewasters. It is I Kisa, dropping in to say my hellos and vanish into the night and pop back in again in another year or so.

Hello? Or is this good-bye for a year? Don't be such a stranger!

I'm gonna try and pop in more than once. I was feeling nostalgic last night for some reason and after ten years, this place is such a comfort. I'm nearly thirty now, and sometimes I just time to look back at the friends I've made and check in from time to time. n_n I'll try not to be a stranger from now on, but you know kids, husband, work, school, farm. Living life. Lol. It's nice to see that you're still here Heath. n_n

I can only wish I were thirty again...

Wait... how old are you?

judging from your profile pic, you've gotta be at least 80... I mena, Albert Einstein was 76 when he died, but you've been resurrected for some time? I mean, I dunno how old ASWOT is, but if it's ten years old, then you've been back for at least that much time yeah? So you're 86?

Maybe, you were resurrected soon after your death... say the same year?

So, if you were resurrected in 1955, and lived your secondlife to this day, you would be 141 years old, because 2020-1879 = 141...

Perhaps, you are actually a spacetime anomaly, and were created with ASWOT itself? So, then you would only be 10ish and your comment makes little sense... Perhaps you age 7x faster though? And thus, wish you were back to being just over 4 years old, when you were approx. 30 after adjusting for dogyear inflation?

That means, you could possibly be 987 years old, in Heath Years?

But... you're still so sharp with the riddles! Meaning, you couldn't possibly be elderly, as your brain cells are still in peak condition... But you're missing 'the old days' so maybe you're middle aged? That would mean...

AHA!

The Maximum Lifespan of a Heath is 1975 Years!

I concur Froggy. Heath most definitely is a time traveling Einstein who's age is a rather complicated mathematical equation. Perhaps Heath can teach us the equation necessary to start our own time traveling journey and ultimately discover this galactic fountain of youth? *Stares at Heath meaningfully, awaiting some brilliant response*

Well, I have been referred to as an "old soul." I have a kid almost Kisa's age, so that makes me feel pretty old.

I would not dare to presume that Heath's age progresses in a linear fashion.

Exactly. Don't forget Marvin the robot--that young kid.

Kids are funny. My oldest is 10, and she's every bit my mini-me. I have trained her well.

Lol, you guys sexually reproduce? I just asexually spawn genetic duplicates of myself that inherent my memories plus abilities, and that propagate across the boundless kosmos

One day my empire will be complete... well, it won't be a 'day' if it occurs after all the stars burn out and no more planetary orbits can be measured to form those types of mathematical cycles, but what can ya do...

Hopefully I don't outlast the universe itself, though, because forming an orderly kingdom of MEMEMEMEMEMEME sounds extra difficult when the founding concept of entropy itself no longer exists to measure the idea of time (which also doesn't exist, unless I can access or create a highly durable extraplanar space?)

In other words, you do it the boring way?

Frankly, yes.

I'd trade my [future] kingdom for love *crying emoji*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, inferior mortal! What 'bores' your pitiful mind about my cosmic plan of domination? Have you failed to comprehend it, or is your mind soured by animalistic desire?

Hey!  Be careful of who's desires you call animalistic.  We mere animals might take offense

Fine, but only because you're my favorite koala

*munches on popcorn while watching Froggy* You know there's nothing wrong with animalistic desire. There are breeds of Frogs that enjoy animalistic desire as well. Nothing to be ashamed of. n_n As for FL, you are also my favorite Koala. So cute and cuddly. *squee*

Howdy yall!

Greetings, Amandi :)

You should all feel free to post on many of the threads that have been dormant for awhile. That sometimes kicks the game into more activity.

Sad that Darth Vader died.

This game is super close to having 69696 posts, :D

(nice)

FourLegged looks up from wiping down the bar.  "Again?  Nice."

We can delete some posts and hit that number of posts an infinite number of times...

True story.

Trying to bring some life back to the game. Post away, all. Post away.

Yes milord!

His Breath of Life shall commence the overflowing bounty of thee cups! Prostrate thy selves before Him, in supreme gratitude!

Good to see that y'all are still more or less alive, as I'd left you.

"Great.  More overflowing cups."  FourLegged fetches the mop

I am the mop bandit. i have replaced all your mop handles with ones from wet brooms... muahahah know feaar!!!

Alive is a relative term...but yes.

Are the undead alive?

The answer is yesn't

They're not unalive.

This entire game is like a nightmare for everyone from 'In Time'

By the definition of life, no, they aren't. They're more like... autonomous beings without thoughts or feelings. Kinda like a robot with a prime directive of "eat".

Wouldn't that depend on the lore the undead derive from and the mechanics of the universe they are within?

In some worlds, maybe... but for the majority of instances of the undead, Grant is right...

The way we classify 'life' is actually pretty stringent... In fact, since Undead simply do not reproduce, that alone basically means they cannot count as living beings.

The weirdest thing is, 'life' and 'sentience' can be mutually exclusive. I mean, if we ever design a robot capable of metacognition, it wouldn't be a living being, but there could be a strong argument for it being sentient. Same thing with high-intelligence undead.

Funnily enough, scientists are unsure whether to classify viruses as 'living' because they are neither made of cells nor can they reproduce autonomously.

In reply to Discreet (msg # 72):

That was my first thought too

I sometimes wonder if I could pass the Turing test...

I've heard that it's really tough, and if you fail they [REDACTED] you.

If you fail, they make you work at the Genius Bar at Apple.

Guess the reference (or dont im not in charge of you):

1. Heath, Heath I turned myself into an apple! I'm apple Froggychum!

2. Apples? Apples??? I remember when they invented apples... I hated them!

I'm not sure what you mean by guessing the reference

turned the word 'apple' into references to silly tv shows. sorry lol, i was tired and got carried away in my own head before posting mostly nonsense.

This place has been dead lately. What's going on?

People stopped posting

Koalas did too

Makes sense. Koalas are too stupid to recognize their one food source if you move it around slightly, let alone express cohesive thoughts through written language.

Also, unless I'm mistaken there was only one Koala that ever frequented this site. I'm beginning to suspect they may have actually been a human being.

Don't let FourLegged hear you talk like that!

Sorry, I'll whisper!

Anyone still have active ownership of our archive site? https://sites.google.com/site/aswot101/home

I think I still have the username and password, if that's what you mean. Should probably log in at some point and check.

EDIT: I have the username and password, but Google can't verify it belongs to me.
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:38, Wed 27 Oct 2021.

As a note, we no longer have to worry about archiving because Jase moved the site to a bigger server and now we more or less have infinite room to store posts

Good to know.

Whoop whoop! Three cheers for

I N F I N I T Y

I was just kind of wondering if anything long term will happen or if they will just sit there forever.

You mean with the archive site? I really have no idea, nor do I know what we would do with the posts if something were going to happen to them.

I think we have some new players. Feel free to introduce yourselves and add to the posts to kickstart any threads you like.

It's amazing what happens when we remember to bump the Players Wanted ad. Lol

Rabbitball here. I will wander through here when I'm not perusing other stuff. People call me an invertebrate punster - spinelessly unable to resist making a pun - so slug me!

its nice to feel wanted

Unless it's your picture on a poster with three letters underneath it...F...B...I.

There's a difference between feeling wanted and being wanted...

Not to bonny and clyde, there wasn't

"I believe that someone is jealous of our remarkably smooth brains.  Now, who wants a drink?  I make a mean eucalyptus martini."

Are you gonna pull out your hare over it?

Maybe you'll get hoppin' mad about it?

Don't get too furrious!

Are you jumping to conclusions here? Maybe we should play it by ear! Make up for it by giving me a one-carrot ring!

I might croak if this goes on for much longer... You want me to give you a ring? Let's not leap into things here... Some people say I can be quite toxic...

"Others might find you intoxicating or even hallucinatory, which is why I keep trying to incorporate you into one of the Lounge's new drinks. Don't let the Rabbi, (your full name is Theodore Ball and you are a Rabbi from Tampa Bay. And don't bother refuting it.  This is now my new reality and in it you are a Jewish man of the cloth.), dissuade you from hopping into my distiller."

FourLegged mixes and serves the good Rabbi an unasked for Eucalyptus Martini. "Enjoy. The frog gland extract is quite fresh."

Why must you repeatedly harvest me for commercial marketing?

Even if it does not kill me, I still feel all the pain...

---

That's actually a pretty cool idea... A single transcendent farm animal that feels the suffering of all others of its species.

I will call it One Cow

"How can you feel pain if you are in a persistent vegetative state? After I pushed you you jumped off the 30 story building in "What If", the doctors told me that your body wouldn't ever feel anything again. As I hate to see a resource or a customer, (kind of interchangeable terms,) go to waste, I started extracting your 'toxins'.  Every time the Lounge's stock dips below 30 liters, I visit you in the nursing home to resupply."

"Have a frogarita in your own memory. It might make you feel better, or not at all. I really wouldn't know."

Today I made a font. It's actually incredibly easy to do (the tech process, not the design)

Mine even came out looking okay, which was a happy surprise.

For everyone who doesn't remember me; you will probably not care to know I am back.

I don't remember you [you could have been before my time], but I am happy to see someone returning to ASWOT regardless :)

After many years of hiding in the closet and a long absence from ASWOT; sailorarby busts out of the closet with a body that more closely matches her mental image of herself and a happier person.

Ahoy Yall!!!

I have also changed my drink of choice from grog to mules. Is there any interesting different versions of the mule here?

Here the mules are made from pack animals. Is that a problem?

Congrats on finding your happiness!

If you're looking for something experimental, I am currently working with [REDACTED] to develop an Anthrax Mule in order to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED] in [REDACTED], China by February of 2023.

It's not safe to consume, but I'd appreciate if you could help test it's deadliness.

You know, I appreciate the offers but I think I may just stick with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice served in a copper mug over ice with a sprig of mint. Thank you.

Very festive

Happy New Year!

My new year resolution is to commit unforgivable crimes

My New Year's resolution is to go through the year making no more New Year's resoluctions...

I succeeded

FourLegged passes Froggychum a drink.  "You are forgiven."

Unbelievable. Ruined my whole year.

The unbelievable part isn't that it happened, but that it took over 20 hours. Normally I ruin my own future in - at most - twenty minutes past the fireworks.

Thanks for taking that responsibility away from me, at least for this year.

FourLegged is really cruel.

Almost as if FourLegged committed an unforgivable crime.

Let's shame him remorselessly.

If I remember correctly, I don't know if we would be able to shame FourLegged.

Would removing a leg do it?

ThreeLegged?

He could then participate in three-legged races by himself...

Anyone can participate in a three legged races by themselves if they have an annoying friend and a hacksaw!

Life pro tips, all day every day

Lots of pirates only have one leg.

Then they are TWO legs short of eligibility for the race

BRB, gonna visit Chernobyl to look for a 3-legged beast to submit as a contestant

Why do that when there are many amputated dogs and cats around here?

Why are there amputated legs hanging around?

What??? It's not like they can just get up and walk away!

Please be more mindful of those with different abilities than yourself.

I didn't hang the legs!

That's what someone who hung the legs would say...

get in the white van cop car

How can I mind legs if they can't talk?

Wow, now you're showing prejudice against mute legs, huh?

Really, does your bigotry have no end?

Yes, the bigot tree ends at its roots and leaves.

Pfft, silly.

Trees aren't real.

I deal with trees all the time: One, two, tree...

You forgot my tree fiddy

 - loch ness

I once knew someone who was in the infan-tree.

What were they like?

Very small to fit in a baby tree.

Scientific!

I had a friend who robbed people by falling on people from a branch. He was into bandit-tree.

I hope you have turned your life around...

Re: the current Word Association

A government scientist went from Washington to an Oklahoma reservation to interview a chief who was 100 years old and could remember everything that happened to him. At the end of the interview, just before heading back to write his report, the scientist asked the chief, "What did you have for breakfast on March 13, 1944?"

"Bacon and eggs."

The scientist started writing his report and realized he needed more information, so he went back to the chief and offered the traditional greeting, "How"

The chief replied "Scrambled."
(How → Scrambled)

Also, I serve my Eggs Benedict on a hubcap because there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise.

In reply to RabbitBall (msg # 149):

</smack>

In other news... Hi! Everyone!  :)  Looking forward to wasting some serious time with y'all.   :)

Glad you were able to join. We look forward to wasting time with you as well.

Whale cum :)

And yes, wasting serious time is much preferable to wasting boring old 'funny' time

It's nice to see this game getting a revitalization of sorts, I had been hoping this would happen for some time.

Wow, even the Shadows talk in this place! Fancy a Mule? Moscow? Louisville? Guadalajara? Barbados?

OOH! Do you know your own recipe for a Mule?

I really like Mules!!!

The recipe for a mule?

Horse + Donkey

bada bada boom!

that'll be 400 dollars, please...

*holds out hands expectantly*

*slaps Froggy's hand*

Good one!

REEEEEEEEEEEE!

(remind you of someone?)

Hmm... still needs ginger beer and lime juice.

Here you go

Damn those PNGs are huge...

Still not enough to make 100 look like 400 though. Don't try and rip me off, pal!

I don't know how to shrink images. LOL

Here is the rest.

I'll keep the change, since this establishment accepts but doesn't carry wacky bills.

Enjoy your mule recipe! You can find the horses and donkeys in the surrounding region. Don't wait around for the staff, this is a self-slaughter joint :-)

I posted in the real Suggestions thread, if people could weigh in on the topic, that'd be great.

Sure!  </steps up on the scales>  Looks like I weigh in at about 115 lbs.  Does that work?   ;)

Now how does that correlate to a new wordplay thread? :P

Also, I weigh about 2 of you put together lol

Seriously?! If you have to ask that question we may just have to call into question your understanding of wordplay.  :P

Sorry, I guess wordplay and sarcasm are two different things. ;)

Yeah, sarcasm is much more a tone and body language thing. Emojis are poor substitutes for a good narrow-eyed throwing-shade look or an exasperated eye roll.   ;)

I'm starting to feel like all of you are way more witty than me XD

In the future, please excuse me continuing to use this game as a place to dungpost (not the original term, but wanna keep it totally PG)

I swear RabbitBall is the father of at least SEVERAL baby rabbits to have this level of Dad Humor... the Fool on the Hill just gets more and more foolish, and this strange Shadow that isn't disappearing even when the sun is up, has lately somehow always seemed poetic.

Anyway, I'll continue spewing garbage o7

GIGO!

In reply to Froggychum (msg # 170):

If it makes you feel any better, Froggy, I tend to stay quiet because I often feel out leagued  as well…

I have found you can't be good at something until you are bad at it first. Some of us just were bad in obscure places no one can find (we hope).

*shudders at the cringe of my dark history*

Can we get a few more people doing the Zombie Apocalypse? It's kind of strange having just two people. Instructions are in the very first post as always.

I updated the Pun posting so it is not "testing" anymore. It seems to be pretty popular, so it's now a permanent part of the game!

Sweet :)

Sorry I haven't posted lots lately guys, I've been pretty preoccupied, so unfortunately haven't had much time to waste :-(

I'll try and get some goofs and gags in when I have the time!

Same with me. Gotta get back on my riddle writing

I smile every time I check in and see people still posting here.

YOU make me smile :)

...at gunpoint.

In reply to jioan (msg # 179):

Holy sheet, you're still alive???

I dunno. jioan could be a zombie. Wouldn't be our first.

In reply to FourLegged (msg # 183):

Ain't that the truth:
link to a message in this game

Just in case, FourLegged whips up a fresh brains cocktail for jioan.

Hissssssssssssssssssss  <rattle rattle>

"Coming right up."  FourLegged serves Snakesssz

Thankssssssss

*Snakesssz coils up on a comfy chair with her drink.  She reminiscences about the days when the lounge was a lively place, full of people, animals, other creatures, and even a few unidentifiable things. All wasting huge amounts of time.*

Bartender!  I'd love another drink!   Maybe one of those with the little umbrellas.
This message was last edited by the player at 03:02, Thu 29 Sept 2022.

Fools don't remember that kind of things.

Back then, I had to be really careful not to get trampled.  Almost no one watches the ground to avoid stepping on snakes. They really should though.

FourLegged brings Snakesssz a fancy drink complete with umbrellas shaped like tiny pagodas.

"To be fair, most creatures don't have to worry about being stepped on by snakes."

*Snakesssz admires the fancy drink with the little pagodas, then takes a sip*

Delicious!  You make the best drinks, FourLegged!

And it's true, we snakes might slither over someone, but we don't do a lot of stepping.

I think my dragon, Xylia, may have accidentally stepped on a few people in here, back in the day, but now she's gotten too big to fit in the lounge.

*Snakesssz points with her tail toward the window, where a giant eye, as big as the entire window, is peering in.*

Can I get a jumbo sized drink for Xylia?

I just realized that July 17, 2022 marked 20 years of being on RPoL for me--entry date: July 17, 2002. Time flies!

Well, let's have a drink to toast your belated anniversary!

I think I have to be 21 years old to drink. I'm only 20 in RPoL years--though I joined in my 30s, so I'm looking more like Einstein every day--except his hair is better groomed

If snakes had hair, mine would probably be messy as well. And totally gray by now. So, it's a good thing I just have scales.

FYI: If anyone here is interested in joining one of my games, I have a long running AD&D 2nd Edition campaign--running since 1998--and due to my personal absence, I think we lost a few players. But we are now starting a new adventure, so if anyone here is interested (murder mystery and intrigue, so a little off the beaten path), PM me.

Recently Snakesssz and I had long duets, but hopefully somebody else will start posting more often...

It is way too quiet around here.  Even the bartender left.

I'll do the bump again, but I hope people still have time to waste.... :^)

I have not had time recently. I am neglecting my games. I feel so sorry for my players.

Ahoy!

Hi :^)

It seems like it’s been kind of empty here lately!

Happens.

We should call this "The Wasteland."

Since I was last here, my travels have taken me far and wide and through many changes (hehehe), including my fondness of grog (Watered down rum? What was I thinking!) changing to a fondness of margaritas and Moscow Mules.

wasting time in the wasteland while wasted?

Yep, I am a wasted wastrel wasting time in the wasteland.

I'm sad to see that I missed wasted people wasting time in the wasteland while I was away. We could have all had a drink together.

Well, wander up to the well and I will wet your whistle.

Scorched and mildly trampled, FourLegged stumbles back into the Lounge. "Xylia was a very thirsty dragon."

*looks slightly embarrassed*

I thought I'd taught her better than that!  Xylia, please don't scorch the bartender next time!

Happens...

Yes, it does happen, but if it happens too often, we might not be allowed in the lounge anymore.

Ops... we just passed the 74,000 messages milestone!

Looks like we are close to having to pare down ASWoT again.

Wouldn't think that'd be a problem anymore, with as few of us as still post here.

Too bad so few people enjoys wasting time... :P

I believe that people forget how to enjoy wasting time.

Life has becoming problematic for me or else i would waste much more time...

What a waste...

I wasted so much time that I got banished from the timeline by _______ (insert a cool-sounding mythological entity/force) and just managed to claw my way back in!

Not sure how long I'll be here, but while I'm here how have things been going for y'all?

It says the last time I posted here was March of 2022 (damn), and nothing important for me has changed since then. I'm still in Uni (its getting worse/harder tho)

How about Elvis?

i will accept it.

Looks like we have highs and lows, WRT posting.

You should do some recruiting, but maybe after the holidays.

Merry Christmas!

im late but:

Merry christmas and a happy new years!

(ok crawling back into my hole now)
