Keystone XL

The Nexerus said
Keystone XL is an addition to a massive network of pipelines that already exist across Canada and the United Sates. Pipelines are the most economical and most environmentally sound method of transporting oil, and obstruction of the construction of Keystone XL is not only doing economic damage in the way of restraining the benefits that the pipeline offers directly, but also causing huge gridlock in the other methods of oil transportation that substitute for Keystone out of necessity, such as rail and trucking. To offer a small example of just how big of a necessity easing the transportation crisis for petroleum products is, I'll cite the fact that rail shipments of oil in the United States have increased 4,000% from 2008 to 2013, from 9,500 carloads to over 400,000. As a result of that, more oil was spilled in 2013 in rail accidents than in the thirty years prior to 2013 all put together.Environmental groups are targeting Keystone because transport is a vulnerability of the oil industry, which they're adamantly opposed to the existence of. Ironically, though, they actually cause environmental disasters by targeting these transport methods, as displayed above.Pipelines are the safest and cheapest way to transport oil. It's good for everyone.

Do they have the path that the pipeline would take if it were approved?

^This My gripe is the fact they went and destroyed the Old Republic, it made sense with Post ROTJ IMO because it had gotten a bit convoluted but could they not at least leave the Old Republic alone. I hope to God they make Prequel films and re-canonize Revan and the Jedi Exile.

Although I don't know how well Revan losing to the Sith Emperor would go over.

In the end it will be mostly up to you and I'm sure you'll keep it within the correct bounds. If it becomes a problem I'll bring it up again, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

I can make an official OOC tomorrow with a character sheet skeleton and start making this more final, we just need a few more people interested.

Meet Camilla. Former scourge of the West. She managed to discover a secret to prevent her body from aging into a decrepit state. She led an army of skeletons, ghouls and necromantic horrors. Unfortunately for her, but fortunately for the countryside, a daring hero put a strange green substance into her brew of immortality. After Camilla drank for the cauldron, she was physically superior than before. She noticed, however, that her memory began to fail. She began to act senile, and her empire was defeated easily without her leadership or control over minions. Her legend became nothing but a comical fairy tale, and as the years passed she began to be seen as a harmless, but maybe occasionally annoying pest, rather than a lethal horror she used to be. She doesn't remember the vast majority of her extremely potent spells. She still knows how to make effective potions, and a few spells useful immediate use. Bandits once attacked her houseand attempted to kill her. She briefly remembered some of the spells she used to wield and scared the bandit horde to death, almost literally. She had one of them at her mercy with a dagger to his throat. She suddenly remembered she was making dinner and turned her back on him. As the criminal was about to stab her in the back, she turned around with a tray of cookies and bumped hard into him as she tried to offer him one. He fell back and bashed his head hard on the master work furniture, knocking him senseless. When he came to, he had bad amnesia, and his wits were much less sharp than before. She has been taking care of Tom ever since the incident and he has been some sort of a dim witted body guard and house servant ever since.

I really like this character. However I think the one kink that needs working out is how she remembers "some of her old spells" basically when she needs to. It would be better to have some sort of "rule" or control on that instead of "Oh yeah I remember a spell for that." and suddenly doing it. Because then she's basically a regular witch.

Your Political Ideology

I define myself as a libertarian, but the extremes of my party go too far.

As far as the test shows I'm slightly off right, but halfway if not more down. My social policies would never allow me to drift too far off to the conservative end, but granted I tend to qualify such issues instead of taking one side or the other.
