I take it FAFSA is the US financial body. Yeah my friend has a problem with them, she took a 1-year masters course over here (with ripped her off in fees). At the end of it she owed $40-50K, which she cannot defer because she is over here and thus not contributing to the US 'economy'. And she therefore has to pay hundreds of dollars a month compound interest.
Hopefully things will ease up and it's good to hear from you anyway.
i get that, tam. Just wanna make sure everyone is in one spot, on the same page, and I'm not leaving out free to interact with NPC time for people, since it is somewhat important.
I will be working on a big post to get you all to the same spot once I've heard what Mordecai is up to, and hopefully shake this thing off right.
Completely sorry about the huge gap Aria :( DO you remember College Algebra? I may only have two day a week classes with only 75 minute coursesnbut Math has been smashing down lately, covering two sections at a time doing logarithms with a teacher who tends to rush through things. Couple that with anxiety about the commutative math exam in only 4 weeks, labs in Geology and essays in English and I have been all but completely frazzled...
Mordecai would have done what he usually does, training with his sword, seeing to the defences and also taking some time to train the reformed boys in the use of a simple fighting styles besides their bows. I'd like to build up his character to assume the kind of role that is used to training soldiers to fight. :)
I plan to celebrate with fishballs and whisky! Not at the same time tho. Beyond that, I dunno. Wanna go bowling, or is your leg still beb? Would be kinda ghey to just be on the computar all day on my birfday.
Mord: Mmmm. Math. Have not touched anything more advanced than middle school stuff since I had to in high school. I am pretty sure that if someone asked me to do the algebra homework of a 9th grader, I would earn said 9th grader detention for sucking too much, along with a notification of concern to the parents.
Working in a field where there are no textbook answers does strange things to one's head. Don't even remember what comes after 3.14 in pi. I guess not HAVING to remember stuff also is to blame, since the computer will instantly tell me that pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795...
Now I am going to get back to work. Which sucks right now. Freaking errand boy/intern level crap for me until christmas.
Lets get out and hunt us down a level! :P
Happy Birthday, have a great one.
Mord: Did me degree in maths (though it was a few years ago) so if you get stuck; just yell. But I hope it gets easier.
Thanksgiving next week yay :)
hmm. lemme think about this some.
We've lost two players, one at the very beginning wasn't so disruptive, but losing james without a word kinda was. then participation fell off with my husband getting addicted to skyrim and the brothers just not posting much.
as i said in the opening, i came off a very bad KM pbp here where the GM posted more than the characters, and he only had one set of rails. I didn't want my game devolving into that. And with just Ali posting and showing any interest at any given time, that's what I was afraid was happening with my game, that it'd become the Ali runs around talking to my NPCs game.
my CC game is a bunch of elder folk who work and the pace is kinda slow there, I imagine. I can take the pace of this game being slow but when people just drop off without saying anything, I am left wondering what to do.
I was about to introduce your new guide and get things on the mend, and Mordecai basically just dialed it in when he did post that week, which was... disheartening.
I'll think on it through the holidays and how my JR and CC game are going and see if I want to resurrect this one in the new year. Is kinda poor form to start it again with the holidays looming, as I know they will demand a lot of time from folk.
I've gotten so bored during my hubby's MMO time that I'm reading LKH books. I did not know that there's been 8 of those horrid things printed since I stopped reading them because they spent a ridiculous amount of time describing sex acts. 53 pages into this one there hasn't been a single one.
It's like... wow...
Yeah, I have a few gathering dust since the 'Incubus Dreams' debacle. It's quite funny I open one at random page in a book store, 70% of the time it's a sex act. The other 30% I find it interestingly written, especially in a rpg way. But that 70% is way too much for me to think about it. At least it's not the Don Pendleton- Executioner series or Barbara Cartland.
