Hey, FAWTLies. How goes?
I've been drowning in work lately and have had no time for catching up here.
But we did have our first PFRPG game Saturday, and it was *amazing!* My character kicks butt. Okay, I wanted her to be a damage machine, especially against evil beings, but even our DM was taken aback by the sheer carnage she unleashed on the big daemon we fought. :) After playing moody, complicated, magicky types, it's fun to let loose with a character who mostly just whomps on things with a big pointy stick.
Yep. Gotta change things up from time to time. And it's fun being the damage dealing machine. Glad you're enjoying it. :)
Hi all. Things not going so well.
We got some estimates, and we just don't think we can afford it. I think we are calling off the move.
Ach, I'm so sorry to hear that. Seems like nothing is going right for a lot of people lately. Maybe things will turn around soon for everyone.

Welcome back.
Isn't it though?? Love whomping things from time to time.

+1. And it kept me from getting help when I needed it later in life because I developed a deep distrust of psychologists.My parents used this option on me, but compulsory therapy isn't likely to be productive IMHO.You do not have to participate but you do have to go?!?!?Not to bum you guys out more than I have already, but what are the options when you have a teenage child that needs counseling but refuses it?
She had another problem day...
never said it was a good option.Unfortunately I have no productive ideas or suggestions. Wish I did.

Sorry to hear that. What are you guys gonna do now? Or are you still figuring that out? Either way, good luck and I hope that things work out for the best.Hi all. Things not going so well.

Don't know. It's hard to see things working out for the best right now.

Isn't it? I love playing a crude barbarian or nasty-tempered fighter every now and again, especially in shorter campaigns. Long term, I prefer good RP chars, but it's nice to slice'n'dice on occasion.
Sorry to hear that a lot of FAWTLies are having a rough time of it. I hope things get better for you all.

Not sure how long the link will work for. You'll need to vote to see the actual page with the full alternate dialogue joke.

This might be a good thing, but then I'm not a huge fan of change. I hope it works out to be a good thing!

Sounds like fun, what is your character?
The operation seems a success: thanks of the inquiries. They took a bunch of what looks like crab meat out of the area behind the disk that was poking into my nerves. The radiating pain is all gone now, and I just have intense back pain in the area of the surgery. Will keep you guys updated.
So, I take it I missed nothing in particular today? Goodnight, GBB. I hope to have a good burger for lunch tomorrow.
Glad to hear from you, M. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I hope all heals well.
In addition to what Jess already said, there's usually a big to-do around harvest and slaughter-times.
Those times being early autumn and...spring? (Don't know a whole lot about farming, myself.)
Also, it may be relevant that my homebrew is a water-world, so there's a lot more fishing than farming.
A good place to start is the Jewish Calendar. Each holiday, corresponds to an event.
What's the Jewish calendar like? More or less arbitrary than the Roman?
One thing holidays across cultures seem to be attached to is heavenly events. Especially equinoxes and solstices. Most other holidays seem to be very culture specific.
I gots me to do some wiki research, then.
Are you looking for religious or seasonal based holidays? Because here we have religious holidays for several religions. If you're interested in more information post a reply.
Mostly seasonal, I suppose.

It slipped my mind that Chuck Biscuits was in Black Flag as well as Danzig. Talk about Six Degrees ....Does anyone just drink plain black coffee any more besides me?Just you, me, and Rollins.
Chuck Biscuits has been in just about every punk band ever. Let's take a look...
D.O.A.
Black Flag
Circle Jerks
Subhumans
The Weirdos
Fear
Samhain
Danzig
Social Distortion
The Four Horsemen
Floorlords
Brown Sound
Victorian Pork
...and that's just the list that Wikipedia has online.

I would say it is somewhat more and yet at the same time less Arbitrary.
This is all generic information
The Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar, or fixed lunar year, based on twelve lunar months of twenty-nine or thirty days, with an intercalary lunar month added seven times every nineteen years (once every two to three years) to synchronize the twelve lunar cycles with the slightly longer solar year. Each Jewish lunar month starts with the new moon. The year 5771 started on 9 September 2010 and ends on 28 September 2011. This is a leap year.
Concurrently there is a weekly cycle of seven days. The Jewish day always runs from sunset to the next sunset; the formal adjustments used to specify a standard time and time zones are not relevant to the Jewish calendar.
The twelve regular months are: Nisan (30 days), Iyar (29 days), Sivan (30 days), Tammuz (29 days), Av (30 days), Elul (29 days), Tishrei (30 days), Marcheshvan (29 or 30 days), Kislev (29 or 30 days), Tevet (29 days), Shevat (30 days), and Adar (29 days). In the leap years (such as 5771) an additional month, Adar I (30 days) is added after Shevat, and the regular Adar is referred to as "Adar II".
The days are numbered 1, 2 and so on for 6 days and then the seventh is the day of rest.
Holidays, Well New Year; Passover (based on an event) 15th of the first month; A sheep butchering feast on the 14th of the second month; a holiday counting the mid range between passover and Shavot (when the 10 commandments were given out); A fast day in the 3rd month which is once again is about an event in the ancient past; A fasting day once again in the tradition of celebrating the worst events imaginable; followed a love Holiday that is all about the grape harvest, both of which are in the 5th month; Nothing in the 6th month but then several holidays in the 7th.
Whats funny is the holiday most of us know of Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday.
I do not know how well it will work for you in a water world but some of the ideas can be easily adapted. A fish harvest festival. The commemoration of a battle or major religious event.

We don't really have and seasonal holidays as such unless you count Ney Year's day which isn't really fitting a season. The closest are Easter and Christmas which are religious that happen to fall near seasonal turnings.
Morning all. Almost time to start getting ready for work.
Arrrgggghhhh!!! The Copy of the Deathnote Anime that Netflix has on instant view is subtitled, not dubbed. But I do not want to READ my anime.
You disappoint me.
To Facebook or Not to Facebook? That is the question.
You know the answer to that question.

I'm sorry CH. I really am. I've been going through a rough time with my better half myself and I know how something like plans for the future can affect a relationship. I hope things improve for you and yours.

Glad to hear you are doing better. Here's hoping you knit swiftly and are back to your leafiness better than ever soon.

Oh, why is that? Because I tend to be too tired to want to read by the time I get home? Yes, over half the dubbings on Anime suck, but not all of them.
Hmmm off topic has got very serious and un-fun, don't get me wrong I don't mind the occasional debate but just lately its been one festering pile of troll vomit after another....
I have been trying to think of ways to combat it.... I noticed some good conversations in the books and movies and music threads.
This leaves me wondering if the off topic conversations doesn't have common ground like the love of movies and books and stuff is this the cause of the off topic threads gravitating towards flammable topics...
Hey Sharoth how did you go with the podcasts?
I have another recommendation for you... Film Sack its a bunch of guys that review bad movies on netflicks...its very funny.
Gonna retreat from posting for a while again. RL is overwhelming right now. I'll pop in from time to time though. Take care all.

Ooo, sounds interesting. I may have to check it out.
The 11,000th post wins...You do realize this is the SIXTH FAWTL thread, right? So there's like 150,000+ posts already.
Actually, there are more than that. Most of the other FAWTY threads don't go past 50 to 100 posts. I think there are about 8 or 9 other FAWTLY threads PLUS the 6 or 7 FAWLTY threads that made it this far.

True, I was only counting the "Official" threads.
Sorry, AZ. I can't help myself sometimes. I see a dumbass and I feel like Red Forman
BAD Ashe! BAD! We don't feed the attention starved trolls.
But I'm hungry!!!

Anyone else notice that's there has been an upswing in trolling lately?
I am starting to notice the upswing every time Paizo puts out a new hardcover book, and starts a new playtest.
