Death Threats

She was just letting off anger/steam.
It's not serious, she's not going to act on it.
Like Dinh humorously put it, she probably forgot about it the second she left.

Plus speaking as a fellow Canadian, you're even safer than in most places.
Canada is not a violent place, you'd have to be in the center of toronto or ran into the rare "expelled delinquent" person to feel your life is at risk.
And I highly doubt she's an expelled delinquent, and if you're in Toronto... well she's not one of the people that makes toronto more risky anyways. :P

Death Threats actually being acted upon are an insanely rare thing anyways, are normally well planned out and/or done in response to serious trauma such as constant bullying at school. Not over something small like a spilled coffee.

As for if I myself got a death threat? I probably did at some point, but stuff like that doesn't phase me. I just tune that stuff out as the person being a prick and move on.

Welcome Back to the Guild

... Wow.

I have never seen Kaga this angry before... o_o
It would scare me if not for the fact that it's basically fan-freaking over pokemon.

Note: Even though these are all quoting Kaga, half of these are meant to add on to pokemon advice for Books.

Kaga said Your options are:

-Ruby/Sapphire
-Emerald
-Firered/Leafgreen
-Diamond/Pearl
-Platinum
-Heartgold/SoulSilver
-Black/White
-Black2/White2

My suggestions would be one of the following:

-Firered/Leafgreen
It's the closest to the original/start of pokemon who can get on a DS Lite. It's a very well designed and put together game, and probably the most friendly to new people also.

-Heart Gold/Soul Silver
It's mechanics are basically smoothest/best polished of all the games.
(Minus Black & White... But that has the pokemon design issue. On top of that the majority of Black/White's pokemon are built for simply heavy damage, you barely get a variety of strategy in it as a result).

Plus it's in Johto, the second region/generation which is also a fair start (It's where I started playing pokemon, I was an original Gold kid).
And has the kicker of letting you explore Kanto too, so it in a sense has twice the content that other games do.

-Emerald
Beaches. This is basically Firered/Leafgreen but with different pokemon, a beach themed region and two criminal organizations.
Also being a joint game you have access to more wild pokemon and legendaries than you would otherwise.
Pick this one if you'd rather be in a beach themed game.

+The newest pokemon games are a recreation of Emerald/Ruby/Saphire. So if you want to relate to most regions, pokemon, gym leaders etc with friends currently playing on a 3DS this may be your best shot.

Kaga said I've actually never played Black2/White2 but I hear they're actual proper sequels or something, so you probably shouldn't go to them if you haven't played the original Black/White.

It is. You'll be fairly lost playing it without playing the originals.
And honestly? The original is far better story wise, Black2/White2 does at least fix the wild pokemon though by throwing in pokemon from more generations.
My main three were Ampharos, Arcanine and Lucario in that game.

Kaga said If possible, I want the liar's name and photograph. *clicks pen*

So do I.
*Grabs a, uh... Max Repel*
(Hopefully this works like Pepper Spray).

Kaga said This is why I shouldn't have started watching Sherlock.

It's about bloody time you started!

Do you like it? What do you think? Isn't Sherlock basically awesome!?

Control VS Freedom

*Comes in to see if debate will be worthwhile to go back into*

*See's I've been strawmanned under the accusations of cherry picking and generalizing. Regardless of the fact I am arguing against someone generalizing all humans to be of the same knowledge and experience level*

*See's that she has some idea that being in school = expert in all fields*

*Other person is clearly being a hypocrite and lacks the concept of learning and/or someone knowing something she doesn't*

Yea, I was smart to back out.
Arguing with someone who thinks not only they, but all humans are all-knowing gods is redundant.

Though, I feel the need to note.
The very fact she is bothering to argue her point rather than assume that everyone understands and agrees must highlight that not all people possess the same knowledge or experience. In which case her even bothering to argue destroys her own argument.

Welcome Back to the Guild

My first (and only) shiny was a Geodude from Platinum.

Though I remember having gained Pokerus through wonder trade before.
Along with a Thunderous and a Lv.100 Lucario.

Making the Guild more active

Lo Pellegrino said What would RPG need to succeed? An identity. It's old history is gone and it hasn't built up the image of a place where the team is actively working toward advancement.

I would agree. A new Identity or unique thing would probably help bring in new people.
Though, I don't frequent other RP sites. So I have no idea what others sites are missing that the Guild might pick up.

Lo Pellegrino said You are more apt to see an Admin/Mod's name when something bad is happening than you are for a great announcement.

Yea... :/
Outside of spam and roleplay discussion I only ever see a Mod or Admin if someone cried out to them to act as a shield, or if they came in on their own judgement in order to settle a perceived conflict or argument. Hell half the time they don't even say anything, they just close the thread and leave people going "WTH? Why did it close?".

And having been on other sites and communities (though not RP ones) with active Mods/Admins, and them having many close friendships and general popularity as a result... It's something this site could try to work on.

Not to suggest the Mods and Admins here are currently bad or anything, they aren't. A low tolerance for people disagreeing with one another? Sure. But they hardly let their power of authority get to their heads, and start abusing it against people like I've seen so many other people do. If they were I would have left the site many years ago rather than stick around to the point of being one of the oldest members by now.

Even have that awkword moment when...

Ever had that moment where you're wondering what anime that pictures from?

God exists. (Crude humor, not for the easily butthurt.)

Damn, House is awesome

My Parents Will Be the Death of Me

Welcome Back to the Guild

"Oh shit..." Gwazi thought as his sword was blocked by the Ratbug. "This creature is tougher than I thought it would be after those wounds before he was tossed aside. Thankfully though, Muse managed to distract the ratbug. During which time Gwazi used to grab his sword and get ready for another attack, during which though he overheard the Ratbug say Muse smelled even more bizarre. "Interesting, Muse is even more out of this world than players... he thought to himself, but then the Ratbug lost attention from Muse and went to lunge at Gwazi again, saving Gwazi the bother of planning his next attack. Instead he quickly stepped out of the way and spun around with his sword to slash at some of the Ratbugs legs.
