Though I do sympathise on "Winning a Halo Wars game"...that game is inherently frustrating. Who do you play as?

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

Your 30 now! Does it suck as much as we thought it would?

Did you finally get engaged? "gulp"

Is your friggin credit card paid off yet?

Was Jay Cutler worth 2 first round picks?

Did you finally build that damn coffee table your promised your sister in law you'd build? Well?

Were you late for work the day after DoD came out because you were up all night reading?

I'll mess with it more later.

Your old...We will both miss work that day. Oh, and my wife says to get on the ball!

I'm kind of like Will Ferrel in Old School (Bed Bath & Beyond if there is time) so not a whole lot of excitement as far as "what I want to accompish" but here it goes:

Still happily married & working.

Have car paid off and a big dent in my mortage.

Hopefully have finially stained my deck.

Probably put a bunch of hours into Dragon Age Orgins when it comes out and other RPG for the 360.

Read a bunch of good fantasy novels.

Will add more later...

Greetings Gamet, this is the ghost of forum past...

Where are you, I wonder, still in Wales? Because that one's a bit iffy right now, as you may recall.
If you are, you had better be cracking on with your Masters, because, let's face it, you ain't getting any younger!
And the job? You did promise you would change it, didn't you?
The girl? Did you make another fantastically poor choice?

If, on the slim chance you actually got published, well, goddam done, old son!
If, as you expect, you have not, there is always the clock tower and the rifle....

What happened in the Writing Contest? Recall that you were robbed of the first one. Did you rise to pre-eminence? Or were you cheated again? And did you finally lay the blame on another member (he-who-shall-remain-nameless-but-is-called-Br**d)

I did take a break for a couple of years and came back to find this place much changed, but kinda, still the same, with a nice, welcoming bunch as always. The names change but it always a good place to be. Wonder what it is like today?

Damn, I hope DoD was good!

Victory is mine!

When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
Take me home

Well it's been another year gone - another year of not visiting the forum anywhere near enough no doubt - but life gets in the way, doesn't it just.

Hopefully the forum has continued to grow, you have attended another Malaz meetup; having just seen the BBQ thread I realise how out of touch I've gotten (note to all you youngsters, I was at the very very first Manc meet

) and SE starts work on another massive malaz series...

Don't forget you need to propose at some point, it's only been 3½ years (now 4½ hopefully) though so no hurry yet. Though you'll be 26 now, that's getting old man!

Do try and get a house, a better job and have finally learned to drive, although I expect to have failed at least one of these.

Do also try and keep in touch with old friends more, it's at least a year since you spoke to a number of them now!

That's all.

OK, we've actually gone past the time limit here, but if people need to finish writing something up for the capsule you have another 48 hours to finish your entries and then it's closed for a year.

Get a job, you freak, and start getting rid of some of that mountain of lovely debt... this was a time of huge change for you, and you're getting your degree results tomorrow.

I hope you've sorted your life out, and maybe if you get this webhosting job, maybe helped sort out the forum too. 100% uptime!

Thanks for the extension, got mine in.

Also, I think you list the mods/supermods/admins when you close this. That stuff is an interesting change to note, imo.

In that case, my closing statement:

I hate you all, die horribly.

That's it.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Weird, I was looking for it the day the time limit went out and couldn't find it, so I thought it had already been closed and made invisible.
