I've been trying to find this one song I heard once for months and I couldn't remember enough of the lyrics to look it up and it was driving me crazy but recently I remembered this band @The Honor Spren recommended and how I'd liked what songs I'd heard by them and lo and behold the song was by them.

Bless you, Honor.

Bless you.

This doesn't sound very exciting but finding a song you can barely remember is the equivalent of digging up a treasure chest made of solid gold filled with chocolate bars and distilled happiness.

I feel blessed.

(Just curious, which Of Monsters and Men song was it? )

I approach this topic tentatively, mindful of the huge pile of failed RP corpses that lie before me, all struggling in vain to reach the Reckoners RPs staggering popularity and longevity.

But I may be starting up a new RP soon. It's mostly to aid in the preliminary stages of a game I'm making (Or rather, struggling to make) so it'd be a lot more hard and rules-based than the Reckoners RP but I think there's some fun to be had there, or at least I hope there is since that's the whole point of making a game.
Basic premise is rather shamelessly ripped from the plot of countless Animes, Manga and Light novels: Gamer gets stuck inside an MMORPG and is trying to get out. Slight difference, not all players got stuck in the game and those that didn't continue playing from their computers, still interacting with the characters who are stuck in the game and thinking they're just really into Role playing.

I have an insane skill and ability tree already worked out and some general mechanics laid out on paper at least. Worldbuilding is still a work in progress but should be plenty to get people started and fleshing out the world is really one of the goals for hosting an RP.

I'll be putting a thread up in the RP section soonish for those interested.

It's obvious why.

I have listened to "Famous Last Words" at least once per day for the past two months. 

Either I won't go insane, I haven't gone insane yet, or I've already gone insane and I'll never know.

I vote already insane. You're too much fun to be normal and boring.

Delightful is right, Twi. You shouldn't tie your identity to one song. You are an independent woman and can be as insane as it suits you.

No one seems to take into account that insane and boring is also an option

You're absolutely right. I have had several bosses who fit that description.

Well, here's a story illustrating Kaymyth's assertion that criminals are dumb.

As part of my ambassadorial duties, I speak to and escort VIP guests for any given school ceremonies. Today I met a State Assemblyman who is running for Senator, Scott Wilk. This is the guy whose campaign slogan is "Got Wilk?".

He did not want to be called "Mr. Wilk" or "Assemblyman Wilk". He wanted us to call him "Future Senator Wilk". 

Is it just me, or is that kind of ridiculous? 

Given his slogan, I think a fair amount of ridiculousness is to be expected.

By which I mean yes. It is ridiculous. 

[Orlion Blight he/him]

Being kinda ridiculous is a prerequisite for being a politician!

It' a sickness meeting a multitude of people but with criminals it at least has a positive effect.

Fun fact, apparently FSW is a flight simulator forum full of trolls.

And then Kevin and Lauren died. 

Yes, I just put a radio show host and a station manager who—to my current knowledge—have committed no direct atrocities on the And Then They Died List. 

Great Noodly One, they're creepy.

A little bit. He's still creepy, though. Still very creepy.  

Though I never thought I'd cheer so much about hearing an angel entering a studio with a cat in his arms.  

In other news, I just saw the first line of the Facepalming Avatar Club's guild thread, and thought it was just "The Facepalming," and wondered what kind of movie that would make. Is it the meta sequel to The Happening, about audience reactions to The Happening?
