Bill Nye vs Ken Ham: Fight, Fight, Fight!

Dogs? Creationism is right because dogs?

Ken Ham's gotta do better than that!

Bill Nye vs Ken Ham: Fight, Fight, Fight!

I just got back, what did I miss?

Bill Nye vs Ken Ham: Fight, Fight, Fight!

If you didn't already hear, Bill Nye (the Science Guy) is facing off against Ken Ham, founder of the Creation Museum, tonight on live TV. It'll be broadcast on CNN at 7pm EST and on Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6kgvhG3AkI

I'm really sad, but I'll be missing probably the first hour of this. I have a previous commitment that will keep me out until 7 CST.

Anyone going in person? Or watching on TV/Youtube?

Spam Hunger Games [Closed]

Lady Squee said
I just want everyone to know that I am still taking suggestions on how this game should be run. If you don't like the idea of it being RP-Style, give me a different option.If you don't like how something is done, speak up or you're just going to remain unhappy.EDIT: Remember, when this started, I had no idea what it would evolve to. The pitch was that it would be The Hunger Games with stats and the rest will be worked out. It basically goes on you guys. If you don't like something, you need to let me know so I can try to fix it. That being said, with 24 people, that is going to be pretty damn difficult, but I want to know your thoughts instead of saying you agree (or nothing at all) and then complain that the game isn't what you thought it would be.EDIT II: If you do like something and you're excited about it, let me know that, too. Do you like that this is going to be Tabletop style? Let me know. Do you like the idea of the Character Sheets? Let me know. I want opinions from both sides.

I like the character sheets, but I did notice that most are approaching this more in a casual manner instead of as a Hunger Games themed game. Perhaps we should have used canon characters, or had the GM come up with our names and such. I also noticed a lack of gender balance within the districts, there's a large number of males and barely any female characters, which is also unlike the genre. This isn't to call anyone out, it's just stating the facts, that so far it feels more Hunger Games-alike than Hunger Games.

Shit Vegans say

I love the salt one. Especially where they claim it impairs brain function.

Sodium, moderately balanced, is essential for proper brain function.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile.

Bewildered by his master's behavior, Jerek watched Vor'loch recede quickly down the corridor. The sandy-haired youth was impressed by the Noghri's pace, when just a minute ago he had been offering the older Jedi support just to walk. At the same time, he was struck by a sense of fear, helplessness, as Vor'loch charged into a battle for which the injured Jedi could not possibly be capable.

Jerek found himself racing to catch up, the name of his master erupting from his mouth as he went. Ahead, he could see a group of younglings huddling, surrounded by a sparse wall of padawans. The reasonable part of his mind told Jerek that this was his place, to stay and protect the Order's most vulnerable members, but those who needed to survive the most. It was critical, it was imperative, after all, Jerek's rational mind told him, the younglings were the future of the Order.

The rational part of his mind fell silent as the padawan laid eyes on the fallen Noghri.

Emerald flashed through the air as the young Jedi launched himself towards his master, drawing the fire of several nearby clones. His blade sent the shots flying wild, none so lucky as to return to its origin. Yet despite his aching muscles and winded lungs, Jerek spun his blade in the fashion that he'd been taught, feeling it slice through the white and blue armor of a clone. He barely heard the trooper's cry over the sound escaping his own mouth, a battle cry fueled with the rage boiling within him.

The universe had stolen his twin brother from him, but today Jerek stood against the universe, wielding his lightsaber and the Force. Within the padawan, there was no peace, only emotion, driving him forward into the fray.

Hey, Hey. Spamentines.

What happens if you don't really know the person you're given the name of?

I can't swap out avatars

Seems like it's bugged just a bit. If you try to upload a new avatar directly over your current one, it doesn't replace it. However, when you click Remove Avatar, it will change.

I expect that clicking Remove Avatar will change it whether or not you click the button before or after upload, as it currently works. It feels a bit unintuitive, but I think that's just a result of the primitive avatar system we have right now.

Rabbit Doubt: The Vacation Murders

Lady Squee said
I was, but no point in waiting anymore. If they aren't going to post, they aren't going to post and that means more dead people for you. Except for Foxxie. I know she was on vacation, but like I said, this is so unusual for her. I'm optimistic that she will be back soon, but I don't really know. I am debating between making her character "get lost" instead of actually die... just in case she does come back and she can be written in. Or just killing her character off completely in case she never does.

Well, if she was on vacation, it's possible she's out of communication or stuck somewhere. Maybe her transportation broke down, or something came up and forced her to stay longer? Who knows?

You didn't ask for my opinion, but if someone said they'd be on vacation, in my mind that gives them a free pass from character destruction on the part of the GM (no guarantees that the Wolf won't kill them anyway, though). You're the GM, though, you make the choice.

You can always kill her off if she's not back by next round.
