PB Wank

mood: confused
Okay, so I’m trying to get into the LJ and MB games, I’m used to AIM, IRC, and IRL games.

I got a character, I describe the character in decent detail, I then can’t find a person to be the PB. I have this issue. I get some offers to help. “Help” is not “Finding some one of the wrong gender.” Nor is it “Shoving some one in my face and telling me to rewrite the description to match.”

I’m joining the groups that hate PBs because of this. “You must have a PB that matches your description” is getting insane. Why this rule when you can't help?

  "he's too.... small..."
"that's what happens when you take what the japanese imagine as an american catboy, and let him age to 40"
"He should be on highlander"
"Kinda scrawny."
"the love child of Thomas Edison and Ulysses S. Grant"

What are all these quotes about?

The sabertooth for the wolverine movie.

I'll let you decide.

Writer's Block: Change of Law

If you could change a law from any time in history, which would you change and what impact would this have?

Lira, who I still don't know how to LJ link to, suggested going big or going home. Thus, changing that convent law that had Mary and Joseph going to register for the Census where they were from and instead over to Istanbul. Have no clue what this would do.

Two posts, one day. It just keeps getting better.   
10:33am 08/08/2008
   My car loan place just called me up. Went "Yeah you've paid us for a year straight and see you have a shitty private student loan, we can offer you a better deal"

The paper work for this is in the mail. Sounds very nice. It's still variable but much LOWER then the current variable I'm on and I don't have to deal with Sallie Mae. I just need to read it closely to make sure it stays a student loan.

  So, there I was last night, The Mole had just ended, the rest of my house is playing 4th ed DnD over skype. I didn't join for a variety of reasons. And this conversation happens that proves me right in not joining....

<GM> You know the one thing your lush apartments in the Duke's castle dont' have is electricity.
<Player 1> I need to plug in my eletric razor.
<Player 2> I want to charge my rock guitar for my bard.
<GM> You don't have an eletric razor or a rock guitar or a bard... 

[About 30 minutes pass of this sort of arguing]

<Frustrated GM, giving in> Okay, fine, you plug in your uber eletric rock guitar that plays rock band and guitar hero by projecting the games on the wall and show it off to the Duke he is amused.

I just realized if I run three events at CogCon that's half the real events....


Oh well -I- have been burning out on L5R during these things. It's...well the flip flopping of rules drives me nuts in Heroes of Rokugan. The quality of the game depends on who is running it so much and if the GM makes a stupid call it sticks no matter what.

maybe I'll have less time to be irritated on this. 

Thinking about only doing two slots in cogcon of atlas games then.

Offically Special Ops

mood: accomplished
I put in to be an Atlas Games Special Ops guy. Basicly, do con demos and such. Volunteer work with Demos. Why did I do this? Because I was on a Unknown Armies kick and saw the ad of them asking people to do it, and then I saw the list of games they wanted people to run and realized I had a love for many of them and owned a good chunk.

So, I'm now looking for game stores in Saint Louis and plotting events. I hope not to do this half assed. I didn't do popcap beta testing half assed (give me something else to test Popcap, please? You've been promising for a while), I don't do my quality assurance job half assed, I don't want this to be one of those things I start and never do well at.

So I'm posting it here as a reminder to myself. Now to find a game store. I need an hour of demoing in before I get a shirt, I want a shirt before Cogcon.

 Do you have an economics degree? No? Huh.
Did you take economics in college? Nope? Strange.
Do you know all the factors currently moving in the US economy? Once again no? That's odd.
Do you even know what the core index for inflation is and what it includes? Another no.

Right, Then why the BEEP are you going "OMG BAD GOVERNMENT HATE BUSH HE IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO HELL IN THE HAND BASKET THE ENCOMONY IS SCREWED ALL THE THINGS DONE ARE WRONG OMG OMG OMG OMG WE ARE ALL POOR!" on the -respectable- places that are trying to report economic news WITHOUT such things as doom saying or butt kissing?

I don't have these things either, but I read enough to know that including Food and Gas into the core index is bad. You want to know why? Do you? it's because Social Security Payments are tied to this. So, not only did you propose adding two MAJOR expenses into the index upping it considerably, but two that are growing out of control. Social Security, and we can all agree on this, can't handle what we have already promised let alone doing -that-.

Do you know what it would have ment if the Fed didn't move to lower rates and try to free up liquidity? I don't. I don't know how you do. The best I can bet is bank closings, causing the insurance to kick in making the Fed pay out more money driving us deeper into debt. Looking over that it seems like a DEAL to just bail out a few with a meager million or five.

The war is costing too much, I agree, wars do. But you know what ELSE wars do? They make jobs. Don't go shouting how the war is causing jobs to collapse. It's a -shame- Boeing didn't get the military contract it was gunning for, but MANY other US companies are benifiting from the war and making new jobs. 

Speaking of which, I just lost this argument didn't I? I used companies. Big business. Oh god I'm in league with the devil. Shut up you idiots. I work for a company. I hope YOU work and if you do it's for a company too. I hope most people work.

Read a little, try voicing your opinions without the zealoty and political screaming. Politics and money go hand and hand, but I'd prefer to see the comments that talk about how the numbers interact because those are informative.

You might remember my second rambling over here

So said GM in question starts chargen for his new game. 
One person doesn't show on time. Char gen is cancled and the game won't be run. Five minutes later the late person shows up, but it's too late now. That game idea is offically dead. Next week there will be char gen for his next new idea.

I am deeply concerned for my sanity.

Starbucks

Work had coupons for free starbucks.

Not one to look a free coffee in the mouth I picked up a java chip frappaccino coupon. I like frappaccino. I like java chip. I don't like starbucks but they can't make it so sucky for free not to be worth it. RIGHT?

Stupidity your name is CCD.

First up is you're making a coffee with chunks in it, like java chips, you want the chips small enough to get through the straw. This is NOT the case.

Second of all if some one has a free coupon the purpose is to get them to come back. You shouldn't look at them and treat them like dog poop on your new shoes.

Third of are dear starbucks person. You are working in a coffee shop. Your response to "Does the Chammeal Blend really test like peppers?" should NOT be "It's coffe. It's all coffee. It's exactly the same."

The confessions of a wallflower   
08:30am 31/01/2008
 
mood: depressed

This is being posted to my personal journal because it names names and I don't think BRPS want to hear it. Warning rambling rant of rant and nonsense.


Break the clique up. Last Night, it took me private messaging people to point out I had used THEIR NAME to ask a direct question to be noticed. I have this issue. Some systems like L5R call is an adavantage. I fade into the background. Seg says I need to just keep posting, dear Seg I've been in a real life game with you where it took me SLAMMING MY CANE to get attention from any one but Cyn who put up with over half of an hour of me trying to get attention. 

I've tried. I've pointed out. I've asked questions. I've done what I can. I'm ignored. In Hunters I ask Ked questions, get told they aren't important, and then spend 3 hours watching him have fun with those that were in the first hunters game and it means NOTHING to me because I don't "get" it since I wasn't there.

And it doesn't matter because my complaints can be easily ignored. Since I just faaaaaaaaaaade away.

I've tried to enjoy some of these games. And I get told I just need to talk more as I said before.  I talk. I post. I get ignored. In WWBHs only Seg, Cyn, and SOMETIMES Robin interact with me. But let another character pull the same emotional strife my characater is going through and the drama train starts up and leaves me behind because I don't matter.

I post in Seg's traditional DnD game, and I get ignored and looked over. It once again takes me private messaging people, even though I've said the same point three or four times. Logs can back me up on this one.

In the Scion game, IRL, it takes me putting my hand up, then sometimes standing up to get attention. I've learned to keep my mouth shut my words carry no weight. And if that doesn't work a pleaful look at Cyn will get him to get attention for me.

I try to get involve in WWBHs and 20 minutes later Seg notices I ask a question, too late for me to jump in.

In Hunters I get told 90% of what is noticed is wrong, because I wasn't in the first game and don't know what is right and Ked wont' tell me.

In HoR unless the GM is pointing at me I need to say something shocking to get notice. This is on Kirema not my Crab.

In X-Crawl I am the bloody GM and still have to beat people up side the head to notice what I wrote.

In Canyons Robin notices me, now if only the players would.

In the D6 game, also in RL, raising my had does nothing. I've kicked the GM a few times, given up, and then started building dice towers till he notices. Two hours later he'll notice I'm still here.

I don't know how to fix this. I'm nothing. I don't get notice. My enjoyment of games is out the window. And I'm ready to just quit them all. Last night just proved to me I don't mater to WWBHs. To those of that game I'm going to talk to Seg into writing Quinton out of the story. I may or may not quit. It depends on if I get noticed.

I don't know how to fix it. I don't know how to enjoy games. I need to say it twice so people see it.

No need to comment, you probably didn't see this anyways. [Yes, I'm being passive agressive.]

Novice GM here to suffer

mood: crushed

So I built a beautiful boss encounter only to realize it would completely destroy the party.

I'm working on remaking it. I got it almost done. It's a thing of difficulty but I have faith the party CAN get through it.

So then I start looking at it closer. Here's the imaginary conversation.

<GM> Bloody Hell I don't think any one has ANY of the low level stuff to make this fight semi survivable for over half the party.
<Dei's Character Sheet> Nope nope didn't take anything like that GM.
<Gerry's character sheet> I cast spells? Really?
<Nekomancers Character Sheet> OOOH RAT! I mean..umm.. SCIENCE!
<Kaq's Character sheet> I can destroy your baddies faster then you thought but can't help with the damage.
<Jack's Character sheet> Not dealing with sword. go away or I stab you.
<Bea's character sheet> I'm self centered. Deal with it.
<GM> Bloody hell.

I need mental help.

Thank you professionally offended for getting upset at Bravo TV for voting the straight man off project runway. If you didn't get offended I couldn't know of the phrase "Straight Minority" and how Bravo is discriminating against them and beating them down to the slums.

I thank you for your vivid description on how a straight man can't get a job doing anything thanks to Bravo.

I love that you have offered money, lawyers, and marrage to the guy.

STRAIGHT MINORITY FOREVER!
