I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio
-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.
'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.
That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.
Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.
In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..
RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Last time I did a sci-fi NRP, I enslaved three galaxies to an economic system that revolved around death of loved ones as currency.

Not sure what you mean by 'exotic' while still being lore-friendly. Exotic implies that it stands as out-of-place in its current surroundings.
I'd recommend playing more towards wide-eyed newbie-characters rather than established legendary figures. Allows other players to take you and your characters under their wing in-character and out-of-character more easily without it looking as though someone is spoon-feeding answers to the physics proffessors.

Next up! How to tell the difference between a Soviet 60 ton T-62 and a PLA 30 ton Type 62.
To get a general feel of the mood between two warring communist-blocks, each one proclaiming the other a corrupt perversion of their most sacred ideals... Here's what Russia thought of the Reich...
Hmm... that was pretty depressing if we replace fascism with either Russia or China... so here's a comedian...

Well crap... and I just upgraded from dial-up to cable...
Well... time to get back to shopping for a triple-DSL package...
(Comcast is required to uphold the status quo until 2018, so probably better to spend my money counter-lobbying.)

OT been's quiet for some time now and I'm getting exhausted of my only discussion being if ______ holds up to ______ group or not.
So here's a serious topic to munch on.
Vaccines? Do you support them? Are you against them? Are you unsure/have doubts?
My Ultimate Knowledge on the field is limited so my opinion piece should be brief (Unless if someone gives me a long post to reply to), but I'll wait a bit before posting it.
It's bad practice to set the tone of a thread with a certain stance/viewpoint right when it starts.

~Ben Franklin, as Poor Richard.
Ben Franklin's son died in 1736 from smallpox, age 4.
-The modern smallpox vaccine wasn't developed until 1798, and took a further 2 years for the first serums to reach America.
-Beforehand, there was a vaccine developed by Charles Maitland, in 1718. It was hailed as "a useful invention".
-Pasteur didn't invent his process until the 1850's :/
The 1718 version was, of course, little more than rubbing fecal matter of the infected upon oneself and hoping the infection isn't going to be particularily strong, and won't be hitting you when your immune system is down and infrastructure has collapsed on itself.
So yeah, go back to 1735 in a time machine with Jenner's Cowpox-vaccine, show it to Mr Franklin, tell him what it does, then try leaving.
