Here's your room

-creeeeak-

 *A great arched, iron bound, ebony double door complains as it is pushed open.*

  I know we left it in here somewhere?

 *A bison sized spider skitters slowly into the cavern, on only four legs.  One fore leg holding a large sack, two legs and three eyes examining the contents. The forth spare leg tossed a palm sized spider, with a matching pouch, out of the sack.*

  At least i can oil that squeaky door.

  . The little spider skittered to and up the door, an oilcan popped from the pouch. .

  Got you!!   * The great Spider drew out a spiraled black and red wand the length of a tall mans arm waved it. A Fog poured out black, gray, and ending with a rainbow colored cloud.  The fog settled to the floor climbed the walls the black and gray to the recesses. The rainbow paused as if waiting.. then with a mass skitter, a crowed of multicolored, multisized, spiders poured out. *

  . Reaching out with their little legs they, tugged, coaxed, and pulled, the waiting wisps into attractive patterns around the room. .

   Follow me/me/me/me/me/me..

   * Following that, a small group of larger green and violet spiders apear out of the sack. Silently dragging out prettily colored and embroidered pillows and cushions placing them carefully about the room. Then quietly disappeared into the gray and black mists skittering along the walls. *
   . the little spiders followed suit disappearing into colored mist and cushions.

    * The big spider looked around..*

     I'M Back And The Parlor Is Ready.

*Knock on the door and pushes it open creakingly*

Welcome

ooh, niiice, your parlour is exquisite

  Oh this little thing, I just threw it together.
  But come in, have something to drink.

  * A gray and violet spider skittered out of the mist, holding a cup of hot chocolate. *
  i have a kitchen now, Too.  Hopefully i'll be around more We'll have to see.

oooh, what do you serve, poison, with some more poison or something inbetween too?

*Pokes C-h Freese*

Just cuz I can...

Grizzzly!!!!!!!!!!!

also, spider against Grizzly, would be an awesome fight

there was this show on Animal Planet where they pitted two animals in a fight together... but it's ok, it was all in CGI...

what.. pooo

they should used real animals

that would be cruel!

I don't mind humans fighting to the death for entertainment purposes... but pitting poor animals against each other is just inhuman!

I didn't mean pitting, but filming when they'd fight, for real..

like when a lion found an antilope...

or a crocodile an elephant..

and the rest of the animals, the one that wouldn't be on the same continent.. one would CGI

oh yeah... but that's natural...

Great White Shark vs Hippopotamus is not...

We were watching a documentary on wolves for our evening tea two days ago... lots of killing there...

Wolves are fascinating creatures indeed. We have a few around here but I've never personally seen one. Got any over there Vampir?

Not that I know of...

my mom saw an elk recently though...

we have wolves.. but they are shy of humans, so if they're seen, the police shoot them, wolves that are seen, isn't afraid enough of humans, and can get dangerous

we only have them in zoos... the pups are adorable...

@Vampir: Aww..I bet they are adorable. You ever see an Elk?

@Cutesue: That's too bad. But I guess they would be really dangerous around humans.

well, they eat pets...

and protect their young against thretening humans, but not really dangerous to humans no... only if rabid..

Yes... and deer... and rabbits...

There was once this deer that jumped on the road in front of my mom's car and just kept on hopping in front of it for 10 minutes before it thought that maybe getting off the road is a good idea...

I usually see my elks, hanging from the ceiling... same with deers...

the ceiling? that's a bit odd...

hunters

we do strange things to deers and elk, egads, we eat them..!!!

yeah... that's what I assumed at first... but I was expecting them more on walls than on the ceiling...

that's more Kraven The Hunter style...

they end up on the wall, after the hanging in ceiling to be emotied...

emotied? whut?

emptied... I missed the 'p'

but maybe they go all emo too...

ah... that makes sense...

I'm more of a farmer rather than hunter...

hunter/gatherer...

I greatly dislike tending a bloody farm plot, digging in it, making the non-produce go away, watering... isch

gathering mushrooms, berries and shooting my meals, much much more fun

my parents love gathering mushrooms... I just can't stand it...

it's interesting how we haven't really evolved since the cave-men at all...

people still think, the one that owns the most, is the best

do they? I thought it was a question of who has the most money...

you do realize, money is a way to own all the things, before actually owning them?

so yes

yeah... but the more things you have the less money you end up with... like my sister has more money than I do but I have more stuff...

and I thought people are more concerned with how much money you have rather than with how much stuff you have...

yes, but a monies one owns, is usually easier to steal than the stuff..

so of course, however non-stealing people are, they still fantasize about it...

so yes/no, money is more important :)

well... I hardly have any... though I can't complain... just enough to cover rent and stuff...

boom tchk boom boom

Boom chka wow woooowwwww.....

In reply to CuteSue (msg # 40):

Thank you.   :)

With the odd sound of a rushing woosh of air the tatters of the spidersilk hangings fluttered.  A glinting object pushed itself snake like out of a hole hidden in the wall behind. With muffled tink. clatter, and whine.  It unfolds legs and eyestalks extending, as well as flickering metallic tentacles the tips begin to flash, suddenly dots of light begin to flash among the tattered shreds of cloth and fluff. The odd spider like "Robot" began to pace steadily around the chamber, pausing as some of the lights glanced of the floor it froze in place, dots of light fluttering across the floor.

   Scittering almost stiffly a pale creature moved down the hangings, continued across the floor and stopped next to the Robot.  Two of its forearm legs dip down and lift the pale creature to its back the pale one move carefully to where the Head of the robot might be and settled closer almost as if it was a crown on the Robot.  The robots laser devises flicked at the door, then went back to measuring the chambor.

  Eight more creatures leave the hangings, seeming to come from a ledge some meters above the floor. Gliding on buzzing glassine wings.  The Purple creatures ruthlessly pulled down spider-silk and stopping where the robot had examined the floor, using the silk began to polish odd scuff marks of the Floor.

*Sits in corner and follows the sudden movements*

*Is silent and just stares*

*Thinks that it was a long times since anything happened in this room*

*walks in and sighs, tsking*

"Yep.  You're going to get spiders and other assorted things if you leave a room abandoned too long.  Should I put out some food for them?"

yes, let's feed the spiders

or the robots...

which should we feed first?

The odd glinting spider stopped at the entry and sounds. Turning towards the disturbance it paused.. Moving forward "WE._ee^ee".. The creature stopped oddly the spider riding its head now seems to have sixteen legs some glinting. Some of those glinting legs movement settles.  We^ee.. Zzz "We apologize, we were not in Unity and did not recognize the form of your Prey location dancee.. Here is this the correct greeting dance?

Two spiders enter each holding a steaming mug, coming to the side of what seemed to be becoming a cyborg. They held up the mugs of what appeared to be hot chocolate.. With sprinkles.

"I've always been fond of some fun dances, like the mashed potato, or the conga?"

*gets out a buffet table filled with everything*

party time I see, and there isn't a good party  unless there is food

*studies the spiders curiously*

As the cyborg drone finishes talking, and the little purple workers quickly tear down the worn wall hangings. It appears behind them that pale little spiders of the same kind as the bigger one that melded into the cyborg, have been spinning more of the misty webs the first wall hangings were made of.  Oddly the pale spiders pulse with a shifting light as if they had swallowed a prism, as the separate spiders pulse certain webs pulse with them. Even more oddly some of those light pulsing webs seem to fade off in a distance much farther than the edge of the chamber?

...
Purple-workers complete their cleanup and pause..
The Misty-spinners begin to pulse in a kind of counter point to each other.
The MistBorg begins to stand more like the original ancient mist spinner.

Deep in the glowing recesses of the web flashes begin to spark at first white, but rapidly shifting to a rainbow that began to feedback the Mist-spinners colors.  The feedback causes them to glow brighter one color starting to flash brighter than the others in most pale spiders.

   *a form moves from the depths, coming closer, steps to the wall then past it, into the Chamber*
  *The great spider, stretches, shifts so that all eyes gain a better view of the chamber*

The MistBorg speaks in a voice not heard here for a while; "Hello.. I see you were expecting me. Sadly.. Well not alwasy 'sadly' I've been busy in R.L."

*looks up at the MistBorg*

Welcome!

May I offer a beverage to suit your grand entrance?

and R.L. is always more important, but we always let people that want to come back, come back

People is after all social beings, and even if we don't see each other, we are still all friends here

*gets to mixing a very suspiciously elaborate drink*

*the MistBorg reaches out and accepts the drink.*

 In the same voice the Robots says; "Thank You It Would be my Pleasure."

*Taking the drink the MistBorg dips what appears to be an eye-stalk in the drink, Then turns and carries the drink to the huge spider that had entered through the mist-web.*

"If I may I seem to remember you like..." *The sound of the voice moved from..

..."your Prey solid, and charred."

As the Large organic Spider continued the sentance in the same voice the Cyborg had been using.

*Waving three legs at a corner of the chamber, as a string of the purple spiders stittered  out carrying little platters some full of small potions of BBQ meats, cubed, shredded, sliced, and ?pureed, some appeared rare, though the rest appeared to be in a spectrum to the actual Blackened style spoken of.

"I have had Much happen in the time I have been gone.. Sadly not much roleplaying."

Mixes a second drink and transforms the room into an old western bar

Leans on the bar and hands drink to the spider

"Very nice of you to bring the food, this will be a marvelous picnic styled party"

Angles hat a lil on head and gets out a drink of her own

"Would you like to talk about what all you have been up to, or just enjoy being back here?"

Last night our grandaughter stayed over night, she is almost a year and a half, she sleeps between the two of us on the bed.  We were happy that she slept really well, she went off with her daddy (our son) and grandma, to a party and I took my mother to church. We came home and realizing I worked to night I took a nap.  The Major woke me up and asked if I could come in four hours early.  He had to yank someone to cover another site, and the one currently on post, her mother had had to go to the hospital. So she couldn't stay.  Luckily when he woke me up I had slept almost four hours, so tonight I'm pulling a twelve hour shift.

;^) It's been a lot like that.

well, it's always good when children sleep as they should

and way cool that you can pull 12 hour shifts, I'm one of those that if I work more then 10 hours, I get cranky as fuck and not sharp enough to be trusted, but then again, I've only worked such shifts when we moved my work from one store to another...

and one year after the move it went into bankruptcy, so I got extra cranky for wasting that much time for a place that don't exist anymore

Talking about 12 hour shifts may have been bad juju.  next night the person I was to relive on my regular site called off because her father went to the hospital. and I had to come in four hours early splitting the shift with the site supervisor, So there went another 12..

  Today I got a Call from the scheduling major, warning me that he might need me for a twelve since it might have a call off at a completely different site covered by moonlighting police due to city calling them in to work.  That turned out to be unnecessary but as I was getting ready to go into work, another call, I was being switched to the first site as an officer who was working a 12 hour had to call to be relieved from her shift..  at least this is only 8 1/2 hours.

   Now I am Supposed to be off tomorrow how much you want to bet the police get called off tomorrow. And now Our coverage reserve has shrunk because sadly the one officer is taking a bereavement leave.

holy cow, you worked to the bone, you need to get some off time to recuperate too

it's not good to work that much, at some point body will be too tired and then it's bad

I know.. Thank goodness I am off this weekend.  When I got home from work this morning I slept until noon then got up and crossed the road to where my son his lady and daughter and step daughter live. To the party they had today my wife and I got to play with our granddaughter. Went back to bed for two hours. Got up again to get my roleplaying fix playing a mean high priest working to crucify Jesus.  Being played by my son.
What is funny is I do feel more rested though I wouldn't be surprised if I still slept well tonight.

I work 12 hour shifts as well, and they do make for a long week.  Luckily I only work 4 days in a row.  :)

But sleep is a good thing, and it's always good to get as much as possible.

Right now my week looks only be 40 hours, and my regular schedule and site. Thank goodness, it may change but since my week starts on friday, and my regular schedule has weekends off, at least I have had some rest in.  The Major does normally try and keep my hours down if possible since earlier this year I ended up in the ER with heart issues. but since I've been given a clean bill of health and actually answer my phone or call him back..  [that annoys my wife]
  he does call me if the schedule is in a bind.

Good for you, you need to keep an active life but realize that too active is bad, so you decide when you can and will go work

as long as you listen to your body, you won't end up in ER again, and your wife will remain happy

also you roleplay a highpriest that is trying to crucify jesus? Awesome

When I had a job, I used to be the person to be called in when others were sick, because I like working, I almost had a break-down once when my boss decided to fire my colleague and not hire a new one until a month and a half later, so I was basically working for 6 saturdays in a row, and I just wanted one saturday free, and if I'd demanded it, she told me I'd have to work one 8 hour shift without break or possibility to use toilet

I sorta broke down crying as soon as I came home that day

I got up again, worked the saturday and then went out and got wasted. I was not a good worker that day, just angry all day.

Later I found out it's illegal in my country to work more than 3 saturdays in a row...

In.. at least my State if you are a security officer they don't have to give you lunch or restroom breaks.  Sort of.. what most don't realize is that it says if you have a "traditional security job" you don't need those beaks, Why?

Because a traditional security job assumes you can eat at your post and go on random patrols [so using the restroom then]

I will be happy if she stays out of the hospital, see had issues with cancer last year.  but one of the issues was good, the cause them so early that the had trouble finding numbers to let them know what they could get away with not doing.  she is free now but the effects of the chemo still bother her.

one would assume security is the one job that needed lunch and bathroom breaks in a switch-manner, ergo one is watching as the other is away on toilet

no idea if it is called switch... But you know, never not watched

ah, good that she is cancer free, the chemo effects will heal and then she will be alright

happy for you and her

I had breast reduction surgery in february, and it failed, in an odd way... so I walk around with a gaping wound in my chest, that takes forever to heal

no ability to work, it's driving me nuts, cause I can't really go outside either, too much risk of infection

That switch of would work if the contract was for multiple officer coverage at a time or if the clients management will cover those breaks or patrols. Plus if coverage is 24/7 then there are often long periods when there is no management to cover patrols and breaks. In some sites the whole point of security is to cover times when no one else is there.
  The chemo affects are getting better, she is a dental assistant and those affects included numbness in the extremities. Unfortunately what improvement means at this point is that now when the Doctor makes her spend to much time on here feet.. It hurts.

damn, I can see that it'd be a pain, I hope she will heal soon and be without pain

maybe even look into using some jewelry with magnets in them, my mom had cancer radiation and surgery recently, and her doctor told her to use jewelry with magnets in it, to help with the side-effects

of course she took too many magnets, like on both arms and necklace, which caused some dizziness, so now she removed the necklace and only has the magnet bracelets

and it's interesting to see, how work places work, everyone seems to have different ways to do it

Unfortunately, I think magnetic bracelets has been disproven as having any benefits besides perhaps a placebo effect.   I'm surprised a doctor would take them seriously.

My own job is all about "security comes first", so that always trumps breaks and other comforts for the staff.    A state agency can be their own kingdom, so they can sometimes feel that they can make their own rules.   It's a bit frustrating at times.

Well the term  placebo effect doesn't, mean necessarily no effect or an illusion of an effect.  but may mean that those effects it does have are triggered by the mind.  but even then the term is used on something that appears to start out to do something then falls off. that is then assumed to be an effect of the mind.

When the company I was first hired on with was bought and turned into the government services division.  I avoided going into that part with it, since historically in the USA biggest black eyes Contract-security ever got was when it got involved with working for the government.

I've been waiting on Rpol for two games I've joined to get started and now within about two days they both start up.

if it works, doctors let people believe in it, and well, it helps with the pain, so it's not doing harm...

weirdly enough, our pharmacists even sell magnetic band-aids, to be placed on the place the pain is, to help quicker, so the mumbo-jumbo makes people rich if nothing else

and oh?

I have these two games, that happens nothing in, we've kept it alive a lot longer than it should be, as the GMs have disappeared...

and then I am in this one game, that had the GM disappear in 2012, and we the players refuse to believe she won't come back

she was the best GM ever... I truly hope she will return

Oddly.. I haven't played in decades but for the relatively short time I've played on RPOL.  But the whole time whether playing or not. I've always spent time developing parts of campaign areas just for the fun of it.

I once took over a game simply because of desperation not to let it end when the GM had RL issues and had to stop.  When I looked for the plans she had I was startled to realize how little reference and outline was online.
I like a lot of background and npc character development but loath story archs.
I did notice in the one I took over in the notes that were there that we completely went a different direction from the expected in a major decision point.

The GM that disappeared was on the verge of making me and one other her co-GMs, but she never did, and we miss her terribly

weirdly enough, no one seem inclined to give up waiting for her either, as it could be petitioned to the site mods to give co-GMship to one of us

but doing that would signal us giving up...

Oh well, some times planned things don't work out as they should

It bugs me to leave a character hanging in mid-air so to speak.  I once create a half-drak in a first edition DnD area who was lawful and whose treasure sense was groups. He considered himself belonging to a whole set everything from a minor noble family, militia skirmisher unit, in possesion of a limited letter of march and reprisal, the nearist big cities thieves guild (enforcer/assassins division) and the son and enemy of a black dragon.
For the sole purpose of tossing him in (with the GMs blessing) into the GMs 3.5 ed DnD game in a different universe. Talk about trama he had to move quickly to the nearest city since the portal trap only took what he had on him.  This included all of his important documentation, and emblems of membership, including militia uniform, "Rat-catches" Hood, and loop trap (garrotte), vengence dagger symblizing his families feud with his father (the dragon) over his birth, and assorted documents including his last mission orders which he now realized was a trap from his father to get rid of him. His his birth certifficate and heraldric documents including the correct form of "bar sinister" for a multirace creature as himself.. etc.
I joined at the beginning of a new story arch of a game that had completed a first.  Left with the party for the mission, then the GM ended up with a set of family issues and a new job.. and that was that.  Corporal John Hearthfeld "Creature" then went into limbo.
Sigh.. that was one of the most intricate and extencive backstory/characters I'd ever done including creating a mental outline of the campaign area he had come from. He got seriously nervous as he slowly trasnlated from a 1st edition halfdrak that looked like half bugbear due to the taint of the spell that his father had used to take the shape of a bugbear. His vision changed, he began to cut up the fingers of his gloves, and started to shed, he never got to the point that he discovered as his scaleds started to harden, that they would turn blue rather then the black his skin hard been meaning that his father hard actually been a blue dragon the mortal rival of the black dragon his family believed to be his father.
And he sits there in game limbo.
On the other hand I have a Noble Forest Gnome who has gone through a couple of incarnations and is now beginning another..  at this point I'm sitting here wondering if I told this story before. At my age you begin to forget who you told which stories.

I've probably been in a 100 games since joining in 2009, and have probably only used a dozen D&D character that whole time, since so many games vanish suddenly, leaving the character without a home.  I have about six that I've probably used in nearly a dozen games each.

Part of the problem is the number of different types of games I've been in. I have started in a couple of freeform (lizardman nest-mother, fox ani-man colonel, Rabbit superhero), in some I've had a character wander around among 3.? DnD games. with one character I had created as a first edition character along time ago, when it was just me and my two brothers playing.  Was translated into a 3.5 game and so intertwined in the game I had to drop due to RL that I left him for another to pick up. I had another person I know still in the game.
  I have a tendency to create odd characters. I played a retired magical assassin Butler in a Maids game that is the only one I have been able to play to the end. I even wrote the happily ever after post on that one.
  In one game system with multiple GMs I had to drop out of two different characters for an extended period of time. When I was able to get back I was happy to discover that I still had the characters in their beginning form but their were no openings in any of the parties at a close enough level to the starting level of those characters.
 Many of my characters have been created to experiment with one kind of character idea or another and translation of that challenge to another system is often like trying to translate a joke from one language to another.

I always make new characters, but I only play freeform games so it's not... I just don't get the rules for the other games.

But I always make a new characters, and some games I have as many as 10 characters, it's hard to interract with oneself, but it rarely happens. so it is possible

I'm partial to unseelie, vampires and witches/wizards

I like bad dudes, okay, I always play the evil

There is very few freeform games on here

I'm in a few freeform games currently, and many are very slow to update.  But Freeform games are very tough to run, though.  I used to run a few as well, and they were exhausting.   :)

I am willing to play any alignment if it fits the character.  I currently have a 5E Golden Dragonborn Noble-knight Sorcerer He is Lawfull Good and basically belongs to a knights order that investigates Noble criminal activity.  Being a noble knight rather than a noble means that instead of lots of pretty money you get a squire and two servants as your companions.

His Noble-squire is a forest gnome, his Dame of Hold-Wardrobe-Bed is a gentlefolk redheaded half-elf, his Mistress of Bed-Board is a goodfolk human. [ie goodwife, and goodman]
  Since we were running so low on players and as this was an experimental game for the group the GM is letting me use even the non squires as active NPCs.  The thing is as I rolled up certain background items I discarded one or two that really wouldn't fit, then got one that was possibly the least possible.  But I hesitated and was lost, his two servants are Wives. My whole character gained a twist, while he is a minor lord [what I'm calling a Jarl]. His relationship in many ways even with the class difference which I am playing up is much more equal.
  So when Jarl Archy' negotiated with the person that was planning to hire them to act as guards for some thing [he needed money because while he gets a living stipend (the Dame holds his pouch as Nobles Never carry money), because he wanted to buy a new mill wheel for the Miller family, the living stipend goes to support his retainers and so is in a different purse which she has and he isn't allowed to use it] I ended up bouncing back and forth among his retainers as different items came up that were their responsibilities in the household.

  I have a relative on rpol who is a computer professional and he had shown me a method of creating a link which would change the portrait and bios' to a certain thing that you set.  so the picture and bio changed in each post, based on who was the main speaker.

This worked fine and I had fun speaking mainly to the DMs character and the one other player,    with side comments in the post among my NPCs and PC.  But just tonight I had the DM ask for our order of travel and other stuff. [which made me think the other stuff was important.]

I ended up in one post having to describe what four persons were wearing what, what weapons they had, and the instructions they got from Jarl Archy as to what to do.

Now do you get the problem, if you look back over this description can you picture what issues I might of had describing that as well as throwing in some expository Dialog.

Sigh.. I may have lost this character to a goblin ambush.  The Dm said that the goblins were rolling really well, and haven't heard much since.
I suspect the Dm is trying to decide how to deal with what is happening. I am in the odd position of being more concerned about the condition of his wives and squire, then I am of my PC Dragonborn since he would himself.  His last act was to light a brush fire in front of or around the goblins on his side of the trail.

Sigh.. May? everything is running slow.
   that character survived but the game is so slow we just have made it up the path.

   Been skimming burn out and just coming up for air.

My youngest Son's young lady just had her wedding shower today my oldest Son and his Lady couldn't make it because His lady's side of the family scheduled a clean up/out day of her Grandmothers house who just died. Their little girl was with us so I took her to church with us, well me; Grandpa "Poe Poe", and my mom; Great-grandma [still working on that].  In the end during the service we actually spent most of it wandering the cemetery learning new names.. I guess from a Norse outlook that means she is learning to claim her right to it as her property.

I hope everything is going well

Well lets see. My youngest just got married within the last week. good.
Not so good my wife just had an MRI, and the neruologist just okay'd her for back surgery. not so good.
Almost the same time as my sons wedding two of my wifes friends who were invited ended up in the hospital seperately with life threatening issues, even more not good.

Other than fried.. We'll have to see.

But I'm glad you're Better, life just hits us sometimes both the bad and the good.

Life has a way of dumping on you when you don't need it.

I'm better, though I'm still having back problems.   I hope everything improves for the family and your circle of friends.

Well son's on honey moon, Passion Play season is over, first day of spring, it dumps snow on the daffodils.. Are we sure this isn't April first come early?

In reply to C-h Freese (msg # 88):

*chuckles*   I remember when I was in Boston back in 96 or 97, there was a surprise snow storm that pretty much shut the city down.  The above ground parts of the subway weren't running, so when I went to work I had to exit the closest below ground station and walk a mile down one of the main streets, which was covered in snow and empty of all traffic.  It was very surreal, like a scene out of some post apocalyptic movie.

We have the daffodils, getting ready to bloom.  Snow what is snow.

Yes, the weather has been strange even in Texas,  going from the 40s one day to the 80s the next.
Always fun

lol That is Michigan weather. Only ours changes by the minute not by the day.

Been a long day, wearing a mask to work sigh.

Been wearing a mask to work every day, I feel you, but most of my coworkers aren't wearing them and this concerns me. >.>

Your coworkers are terrible people.

They just think they're safe out here in rural Japan. False sense of security. I see it a lot.
Some of them started wearing masks when we got a huge cluster in our prefecture though.

That stinks

    I 🕷️wear a mask because I am over 60 and have a condition based on immune issues, and two of the medications I take for it directly or indirectly suppresses immune functions. and take heart medication that does as well.
   But I also wear a mask for the same reason I CCW a firearm daily to protect others as well.  Over here our Polititians are so busy telling people what to do they forget to ask themselves if there was a better way of trying to get people masked.
   Don't get me started I'm running for office in my state.

Good luck.  We need kore common sense in politics

I guess we could say Common Sense needs to be more common.

And to Everyone, Merry Christmas, Joyous Holidays, and a Happy New year.

Is this one still alive? I haven't seen any activity here for eons.

In reply to Nyarlathotep (msg # 102):

I still have it listed and figured to wish everyone good stuff.

Happy Holidays, everyone

happy late Chinese new year.

Happy New Year!

*wave*

Waves back

Sigh.. so many places to check for responses.. to put on so many browser tabs.

I know that feeling

Been playing in Discord 5E avrae, but still miss Rpol.
