8 months? I don't feel like I received enough warning at how quickly time flies the older one gets. Poking around, taking a look.

I tend to avoid excessively "evil" or demented characters, typically because they don't fit with the rps I join. The one that sticks out the most to me was a character in a GoT rp from a while ago. He was the young lord (17? 18?) of the Skagosi. Their liege lord, House Stark, recently had the audacity to mention that they should start paying their taxes. My character responded by raiding some small villages, taking prisoners, then (off scene mind you) raped them as part of a ritual which ended with some cannalbization. Maybe a dozen or so men, women, and children that were captives. He also kidnapped one of the Stark girls, leading to her impregnation. It was a bit over the top, but the North called for a big baddy that wouldn't be all that hard to take out. Plus, lore-wise, the guy fulfilled the boogeyman aspect of his people. He was crazy, even for them, and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer.

One thing that kind of irrationally irks me is when somebody tries to advertise their game or interests as a "craving". I don't know why, but it seems really skeevy and gives the impression that said craving will pass in about a week before they move onto something else.


You're so irrational.
But...uh, have lists been mentioned? Because lists really annoy me. The "Role A x Role B" type lists....especially when there's like, 50 pairings listed. That's not an idea you want to rp, that's just "let's have an excuse for romance to happen." Which, I mean, is fine and all, but wouldn't it be faster to just type that, rather than compile that list?
Magic Magnum said Actually, although gamers themselves have united pretty well and get a lot of support from Indie Developers. We are still get the shit kicked out of us pretty hard by big companies who are listening to the social justice warriors. We're only a powerhouse in the same sense I described above, we are consumers and can take our money elsewhere if we don't like a certain service or product. That's business, that's the nature of the economy and life. And I highly doubt anyone here think's forcing gamers to buy games they don't want or support is a good idea.


What? In what way have major companies bowed to the pressures of SJWs?

Also, forcing gamers to buy games they don't want? What do you mean? I don't know many people, if any, who will pay for a game simply because some reviewer somewhere said it was good. Regardless, no one is forcing anyone. And since the internet exists, there are tons of not paid by the company shills who review games. Take each review with a grain of salt, look at the trend of comments, decide for yourself if its worth it. No one is forcing you to buy anything.
Hi there!

I use my phone a lot for accessing the site, but I can't say I've encountered many issues doing so. Maybe provide some more details on what you're using? I can access fine on an android os/chrome browser. As our benevolent overlord (mahz) is still building this site, there is some downtime from time to time. Though not that often recently at least. What happens during the times the site won't load for you? An error message, white page, etc?

I kind of think that statistic has a lot to do with what I already mentioned about Africa, though. Like, is the same going on with those isolated cases outside Africa?And... are you sure that's the way to treat it? Or is that just what they're doing in Africa because they don't have any better options? Is the rest of the world doing the same thing? Note: I'm far from an expert on the subject, so these are kind of legit questions - not me trying to debate anything.Like pretty much everything I said in that first post I remembered hearing in a Vlogbrothers video so yeah I don't know shit.


There's some treatments, I wouldn't go so far as to say cures, in development. Really early development, although they did give some doses to aid workers who contracted it and both were released from the hospital a few weeks back. Another guy died after (allegedly?) receiving the same drug. Part of the problem is that Ebola has always been a small scale problem, couple hundred people at a time, there's not much money to be made to recoup the cost of research and testing. There's also some belief that the blood of infected individuals who survived might act as a treatment - but that can be a whole host of other issues when people start buying and selling without proper screening.

Quarantine has been the typical manner of stopping outbreaks. African nations' infrastructure sure doesn't help combatting it, but we also don't have many options for treatment. Right now its keep people hydrated long enough for their body to fight off the infection.

Or at least, that's what I've gleaned from various bits of internet researching. Take it all with a grain of salt.

I never argued it wasn't normal, that kind of was my argument actually.I'm just concerned about the wellbeing/healthiness of the kinds of minds that actually enjoy such abusive relationships just cause the guy looks cute and can be nice sometimes. >.<


I hope I'm just not understanding you properly, because what you seem to be implying is the inability of women and girls to distinguish reality and fiction. The same argument, targeted largely at boys and men (by the media or "concerned" parents) regarding violence in video games is just as inane an argument.
