What is this game that is so engrossing it causes you to post here when it beats you?

It's a Medieval era based RPG, mostly played on horseback. It's very good and addicting, but it seems that every time I begin to build up a nice army and start doing well money wise, someone attacks me and I lose, and that means I lose most of my army at least half my money and I lose renown as well... That means I have to start building my army from scratch again and this is problematic in that I now have no money... I think now I have an idea of what the game entails I might start again and see if I fare better!

Not much is messing with my groove right now.

Have you got the settings on 'automatic save'? (which saves every time something happens to your party?) Because you can turn it off, at the beginning of the game. You can then save when you want, and if you accidentally lose all your men, you can, erm, reload. It's not really cheating, it's just not as annoying.

My groove is a little messed with, due to something at work that involved a lot of blood loss, but everything was ok by the time my shift finished!

Nope, post-partem haemorrhage. Trachys aren't that messy...!

Some jackass stole my towel at the gym today while I was in the shower.

I went to a party that asked us to take off our shoes and leave 'em by the front door. No problem for me. Except...

Some jackass took my red Converses down two flights of stairs, out the door and tossed them into the bushes next door. In zero degree weather. My friend's jacket was at the bottom of the stairs, my other friend's jacket is still missing. Ours were the only stuff that were messed with.

I was leaving the party in fuzzy blue slippers that were too small for me when I came across them. My momentary happiness was quickly squelched because the missing jacket still needs to be tracked down.

This is a party full of grad students. Who the crap does this stuff at this age?

Baaaaaaaack toooooooo schoooooooooool..........

My Dad called me earlier. The friend he has taken time off to take care for since December is not expected to last until Friday, and has had the last rites said over her at her request.

It was the first time I'd heard his voice shake since his brother and Mum died within months of each other back in 82-83.

How do you console someone in that situation? How do you tell them it's going to be alright? Even saying they'll no longer be in pain sounds trite and callous. We aren't a religious family so there goes half the (apparently) comforting stuff people say during these times.

Somebody hurry up and fix that whole "disease" and "death" thing. I've decided I'm very much against them, and shall be declining to participate any further, thank you very much.

With you there man, my granddad died yesterday... Going home for the funeral later on this week, which just happens to coincide with my birthday (the funeral is the day after, so its a bittersweet week...) He has been going for ages, and has been in a secured rest home for over a year (he had very severe senile dementia) his brain deteriorated rapidly and he never recognised anyone from his family, including his daughters (one of them my mum) or his wife, It was horrible, and in some ways it was definitely his time to go, but at the same time its not a nice situation at all...

My right thumb (which I use a lot being right handed) hurts an insane amount when i move it at the bottom joint (which moves when you do ANYTHING) I completely blame my GM, Shiara and Miss Lucy for this, not because I know how this happened or anything, but because they were teasing and breaking my mercilesly all day yesterday and clearly it must be their fault.... right?

Condolences to Tiste and Sombra, may they have gone to a better place.

I feel dog-tired...and I still have football training and it's only Monday. Bummer.

[Centzon Totochtin]

That sucks Tiste and Sombra Never much one can say in those situations.... I would give you each a hug if I could.



My right thumb still hurts eating was not easy tonight.

I have a promotion course commencing Monday 8th. I fly out (to frickin' Adelaide) on Saturday the 6th.

I - and others in my unit - received the information on what I need to do in prep for the course and flight confirmations TODAY. Normally you get about 4 WEEKS notice. Too much to do, too little time. Oh, and did I mention they are filling our remaining days with pointless training and mandatory "awareness" lectures? We normally have these at the start of every year and generally waste 2 days on them trying not to fall asleep in lecture theatres.

This gives me precisely two-fifths of fuck-all time to get ready. I am not happy. Actually, if things do not improve somehow before Friday, I shall - in the immortal words of the legendary Prince Humperdink - "be most put out."

In a slightly less serious but annoying nonetheless note, I am going to have to shave off my magnificent beard because I want to look smart for the funeral... And at the moment I do not...

[caladanbrood]

Condolences to both of you, sorry to hear that.

[teholbeddict]

Okay well I was going to complain about Monday mornings, and the frigid WInterpeg weather. Neither seems so bad anymore after reading Sombra and Tiste's posts. I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through at the moment guys. Condolences to you and your families.

[Tiste Simeon]

Thanks chaps. And no worries, everyone hates mondays Tehol.
