What we disagree on is the AMOUNT. I would be happy with 10, and ecstatic with 20 or 25lbs. HE tells me I need to lose 50.
And now since last Monday, I have lost your entire "happy" goal. Yeeps!

Dunkin is doing 99c coffee from 2-5pm.
If the mildly cold weather wasn't enough the sky has been grey (I LOVE grey sky) and now this!
Truly, this is a joyous time of year, as I prepare to take a walk in 67 degree weather to drink dollar Dunkin, coffee that is considerably better tasting than the mediocrity of overpriced (and over roasted) Starbucks!

Why does PbP recruitment take so f***ing long for so many GMs? I'm not in the habit of doing first come, first serve or anything like that, but three weeks? Seriously?
I mean, if someone doesn't check recruitment every day, or at least in an entire week, what are the odds you think they're going to post in your game frequently?
I had two players already be like "oh, dang, missed this one" after I had recruitment open for an entire week. Dude. Minimum one post a day when the game starts, and you missed a game that's been up for a week?
Actually makes me disappointed. One of the people who expressed interest was one of the programmers for the original Fallout, but he didn't give me anything after that. I would have let him in with a slapshod two sentence background and a one dimensional clone personality once I saw his name on the game credits, just as a thank you for helping give us such a wonderful series, but...I mean...zero in a week.
Meanwhile I've got three characters waiting to be chosen on games that are like three pages full of applications and at least another week to go.
Doesn't anyone else want to, you know, actually play the game?

I dunno what's up with those other people, but I for one want to winnow out those who will show initial interest and nothing else with my recruitment periods. A good backstory can be nice, but I'm more interested in seeing who continues to show up and the like.
That makes sense, I guess...especially since yours has a lot of stragglers from the last one.
Engagement is what matters most to me. You can have the best players in the world and it doesn't matter for fiddly if they post twice a week.
Incidentally, good on you for picking up the reins like that. It was just cruel to put such a good concept with only two slots like the original GM. I would have done it, but I'm already GMing two now.

Two! Two new games based on flatulence Gas Out and Who Tooted? and they really draw it out to ridiculousness.
And people wonder why we don't have enough of Pie Face.
It's a s+*&ty year for toys.
Maybe I'll give myself a hug (since I'm trained)
... Why the flying hell do either of those need to be a thing? I swear, toys really have just gone downhill.

They still had pumpkin flavor, which my wife got. Apparently it's not just a white girl obsession, but all females, regardless of melanin content, can be obsessed with the pumpkin spice.
I'd get it more often myself if A) I liked coffee to begin with, B) I could still have caffeine, and C) it wasn't so darned expensive.
I like the pumpkin flavor a lot though. Someone brought pumpkin spice donuts to work a week or two ago, they were really good.

Decaf* is a thing, you know....and 99c is pretty cheap. How cheap does it need to get?
*if you're not supposed to have any caffeine whatsoever, I understand, as decaf only removes about 95% of the caffeine.
If you don't like coffee, you probably haven't had good coffee. Starbucks is an example of mediocrity. Most cheap coffee is garbage. Coffee and tea are two products where you can REALLY taste the difference in quality. Good coffee doesn't need cream, and maybe one spoon of sugar to cut the bitterness.

I edited that post and added a little. I understand not liking coffee. There's so much bad coffee out there, it's easy to get a lot of bad experiences and write it off.
You ever walk through the grocery store and smell that gourmet stuff, that's like $20 a bag? You know how it smells so good? Yeah...
Meanwhile, the Maxwell House factory is downtown here in Jacksonville, and when I drive past it the smell makes me gag.

I've tried many, many different kinds of coffee. And I love the smell of coffee. But I can't stand the taste of any of them. (I'm trying not to get irked at the use of the common "if you don't like X, it's only because you've never had good X" excuse.)
Simpler that way anyway, one less thing to miss. Having to cut out most sodas was bad enough. If I'd been a coffee drinker too, I'd probably have been utterly miserable.

Yeaaaaaaaah, I'm a sweet over bitter guy by miles. Milk chocolate over dark (and white over milk), etc. So yeah, coffee not for me. The exception is those frozen Coolatta things Dunkin does, and those are more sugar and whipped cream and flavoring than actual coffee.

I wanna try that coffee that's digested by monkeys, who then s+$+ it out, which people then sift out so they can roast them immediately.
They call that "Maxwell House"; no, I know the kind you're talking about. Rare does not mean good.
Mourge, I adore Kona! My wife and I are planning on going to Hawaii for our 10 year anniversary, and I'm gonna bring clothes I can throw away so I can fill the return bag with Kona coffee and guava (my favorite fruit I never get to eat)!

Here, s#+% in this cage... good, good!... now rub down with some cumin and red chili powder for a few hours and I'll be back with a pot... I mean candy and hookers and lots of cold hard cash.

I got the holiday snickerdoodle flavor, which was really good!
Don't like pumpkin, don't like coffee. Do I have to return my complimentary white girl card and ceremonial uggs I don't wear?
