Interesting experience. An old friend from college was in the city, so we decided to get together for dinner and drinks. It was fun, but sustaining conversation was somewhat difficult.
In my post-mortem of the evening, it occurred to me that I don't think we ever once hung out one-on-one. We were friends because we hung out in the same circles, but there were always other people around. We had no experience at sustaining a conversation with just the two of us. Curious.

Evening, all. What did I miss?
The 'start' of my new PF campaign. Amazingly I'm actually really pleased with my group, especially since we were doing character creation with the party working out their interrelationships.
One player even said when I asked what equipment he wanted replied; "Well my characters a bit of a carouser, so some favours with the locals. Maybe a place to doss, he doesn't really have much stuff."
Anyway happy friday. Board-games & Pizza tonight. :D

Hmmm - 4.5 months from now is October 7th, 2013.
Eureka! - Golarion will experience a great event on 7 Lamashan 4713
Looks like our posting pace has slowed down considerably. Since May 23rd, we have been posting an average of 55 per day. At our current rate, our new 100,000th post day is February 15th, 2014.
In reality, I am quite sure we will be over 100,000 before the end of 2013. My new forecast is Thanksgiving weekend when the event will occur.

Just got out of ~2 hour meeting that started at 7.30 AM (a full hour before I normally come in to work). So much headache with the current legal situation when you work in accounting.
Thankfully the rest of the day is looking to be fairly easy and laid back.
I hope its over soon. I know you accounting types are in a worls of hurt now.

We had one of our insurance experts at the meeting. His legal department guy starts every meeting with "This is what I know today. I guarantee absolutely nothing tomorrow."

My father's buying lottery tickets hadn't helped keep the demand up?

I would think reducing the payout would be a better strategy. Raising ticket prices will probably sap demand even further.

I imagine they see the big number they can stick on a billboard or on TV as the main draw, and thus aren't amenable to reducing it; their only option for reaching that number is, as a result, to crank the prices up.
