that was a joke.

There's also my Co-pilot, making three :P

When the island isn't on fire or devastated, I'm sure we'll have a chance for the beach episode as well xD

[Foster]

Actually, I was forgetting about Kat.

/rascist

Meanwhile, a guy in a wheelchair is taunting an anthro T-rex.

[The Mage]

@Foster

I was going to say that he's keeping Kat all to himself, that's why he didn't say her name

but then I grew a brain.....

@Foster

That would be an insane fan-serviced episode...

I'm going to pretend I don't know where this is going.

You're not helping, hush.

@ShiningSector

I'm trying to

and I'll stop trying when you admit your siggy pic is



well, seeing as I got free time I'll go work on my post. I get to go delve deeper into my F15C!

EDIT: Well, the post is halfway done but the teachers decided to drop a test on my lap.....

[urukhai]

[The Mage]

post shall be up before you post. Hopefully I'm NOT the last one again...

even so, I'm getting really good at being the last....

[urukhai]

mine should be up today

[The Mage]

Actually, nevermind.

I'm not going to be able to post this week as I have a permanent late due date at the end of it and I'm way behind. so for the moment I'm going to put that ahead of my roleplays.

I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, please feel free to use my character in a post if you'd like- and I'll have a post up next week, when I have spring break.

and yes, I'm aware I keep saying I'll have it up here and now.....I would, but having 30% grade on all your courses isn't really good

[Rhona W]

I'm content to wait for a bit - there's not much point me making another post until there's a few more up anyway.

[Foster]

O.o 30%?

-I fell asleep through half my classes.

*Foster supposes Mage is doing more advanced coursework than metallurgical engineering.

S[eaking of sleep, I should go do that, like 30 minutes ago.

[The Mage]

I can still get on and do OOC posts since they don't take too much of my time and brain.

Actually I'm homeschooled in highschool, these are just the core classes.

luckily one is up to passing now, I need to get 4 more done by Sunday or else I won't be passing.

[urukhai]

Ok so! my post is very nearly done, but if I run out of time I understand (work has eaten up up my time the last few days). Just wanted to drop you all a line and keep you informed that I am still here and on board

[The Mage]

So all I need to do is finish one more unit of Science, A unit or so of LAC, 2 units of Algebra and a few lessons in World History and I'm golden.

After that I'll have time to post up on the IC. I already have half of the post done so it won't take long to get it up.

[Rhona W]

Okay, if you two guys are almost done with your posts, then I'll get a new IC up on Sunday - I have a tabletop RP session tomorrow, and it generally lasts the whole day, so I won't likely have a chance to check the guild then. Plus it gives you both a bit more extra chance to get things up and done.

@The Mage

*Foster never quite understood homeschooling outside of niche-artisan*

Probably because less than 30% of America has a stay-at-home parent. And 42% of the other half only have one parent at all.
-Removal of a well-to-do child from the community system ultimately hurts the community as a whole (most learning is via peer-interaction).

(maths: 30% with stay-at home + 30% single-parents = 60/100 = [remove stay at home portion for] x/70. Solve for X)
-Public education and easy access to an impressive public library [non-fiction section only] plus ridiculous extra-curricular overload for the win.

I also had WAY more time to work on my roleplays back in highschool than I do now. (in short: it will get worse, but at least you'll know why)

@Foster

Yeah, it's called growing up

and I prefer homeschooling because the school district here is pure BS, even in Elementary I got in trouble for being the victim of fights and never got help from my teachers. after first year in middle school switched over and I prefer this as I can get help WHENEVER I want!

I'm failing because I have ADHD and only recently have I started getting Adderall. Last year my parents stopped staying home and started going back to college so they can become Accountants. so I'm almost always on

Also, Since I'm about 6 hours behind Silverwinds time at 12 PM it'll be 6 PM or so over there. Not really a good thing,I'm going to have to stay up all night so that I can get schoolwork done. and that effectively means I need to be up all day or until I'm done with my schoolwork until I can post.

luckily I fell asleep for a good 5 hours. I should be rested enough to get this done

[Foster]

Seems more like an issue of task-priorities getting out of perspective too easily. Not sure if medicinal-stimulants designed to slow reaction-times will accomplish much aside from detaching you mind from feeling the fatigue and pain of the body just enough to prevent you from slipping into shock*.

*One of the other uses for amphetamines is pretty much in combination with painkillers to slap wounded soldiers back into the fight despite having a barely-stabilized gunshot wound or five to the chest in addition to a P-valve/needle to re-inflate the lungs. Still bleeding like a mo-fo, though.

As for falling asleep mid all-nighter, all I can suggest is lots of water and FOOD. Real fatty food high in protein because the later breaks-down and needs to be replaced exponentially faster by the hour and sugar can cause an immediate debilitating 'crash' with little or no warning.
-Water to help process it, and because it's hard to sleep when you've got to pee.

(also, if you clicked the video instead of finish reading this, GET BACK TO WORK. Because us and the internet can wait, like, forever. And even if we couldn't wait, nobody gets anywhere without making a choice to do it, and constantly picking that same decision even when alternatives become available or the path becomes difficult.)

Aside note: Found out my old patrol-leader is now a captain/S-3 in the 10th Mountain Division with ~10 years of military-service on-record. Which strangely enough puts him on the same level as @Gunther. (actually, no, Gunther would hold seniority)
-Wild guess based on the decorations on his uniform that it was 3rd BCT to Afghanistan in '06-07/'09/'11-'12 (ext. tour)/'13-'14. So I didn't feel like prying. All I know is OPFOR took a shot at him and his men and OPFOR lost.
