What, I say what the hell

Isn't there a Badside? Why don't I see one on the map under Settings?

I say what the hell!

Fame is fame; infamy is just fame in the eyes of people who don't like you. If I do the right thing and everyone hates me for it, I'm ok with that. But I would like to think they'd appreciate it.

Goon won one? There was a second place finish that led to the OL title, but I think I got through the winner's bracket and then lost twice to Lucian. I don't think there was a tournament victory in there.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't trying to imply anyone has an idea, or even that I have an idea. All I'm saying is that there needs to be a rationale, regardless of what it is.

I kind of like those slugfest rules.

Alright. One more thing I just thought of, and then I'll probably leave it alone (seeing as I don't have a vested interest in it anymore, I might be the last person who should be going on and on about this)- I hadn't considered wrestling as a basis for two-pointers, but that works. Nonetheless, or m...

*You* may view these changes as an opportunity, but that doesn't mean *other* people will do likewise. And if you, as the rulemaker, emphasize a character's movements, that means the player isn't doing so. Have you considered more general terms, since the names, as you say, are there simply for the ...

Think about it like this: There are wrinkles, and there are complications. A new wrinkle nudges an activity off its current path just a bit- not enough to substantially alter the nature of the activity, but it can make people who were previously uninterested want to try it out. Feints are a good exa...

I might sign on AIM just to hassle Matt for joining a league named "Feminine Instincts".

I have a little dragon clutching a yin-yang on my shoulder that really needs to get brightened up. I figure I'll look into it when I get my next one.. which I've been trying to figure out for around six years now. x.x The longer it goes, the more imaginative I become and the less money I actually ha...

This was cool, but as with all cool things, the newness adds a level of attractiveness that future similar events will lack. You may find it difficult to field a full 64 annually once two or three of these are in the books, so to do it more often would be foolhardy. Changing who does the seeding eac...

I haven't been around in forever and of the sixteen people left, there are only three that are unfamiliar to me, so concerns of a newbie rebellion would seem to be overstated. Also, Tony would have beaten me in round 2 if he had any fancies. An experienced player starting a new character may have th...

According to the Main Bracket, Jaycy Ashleana vs. Ruke LaChayne leads to a win for... Goon.

I've only "heard" this, but getting an anti-man-is-the-reason-for-global-warming type article is hard to get published because of media, activist, and even some governmental pressure (think about how much grant money goes out to places to try and prove the link exists). Two words: Fox New...

I watched the Al Gore documentary for a class last semester, and while he clearly has an agenda- everyone does- the one thing that caught my attention was this: 53% of normal media reports quote scientists who deny or play down the effects of global warming, whereas zero such reports exist in legiti...
