Didn't know if anyone was interested in becoming Facebook friends? I'm on there a lot more than here, but I still want to keep in touch with a lot of you.
Dunno if this link will work, but here is my facebook profile: http://www.facebook....115&ref=profile
Just put "Malazan" in the request and I'll know who you are. Thanks!!! :Urb:

There's an entire Malazan group you can follow if you want, last I checked... a year ago or so... it had some 1000 members maybe.

Other than that Face-book is a soul sucking piece of shit used to kill your productivity and allow annoying people you barely know to pester you with a hundred thousand bullshit invites and other useless shit.

IMO.

Thanks for the warning Apt. :3
But at this moment in my life, I have a lot of free time, so FB is a better way to keep in touch with my friends and family than anything I can come up with. :Urb:

(And yes, it's hard to stay in touch with my friends who work, have school, and live very far away, so having face-time with them isn't an option... unfortunately. :<)

Haven't seen you around for a while! I see you got married, when last you made an appearance (that I saw anyways) you were still engaged. Congrats on that.

I find disavowing anyone who plays those crappy games like Farmville, culling my friends list and just ignoring people I don't want to talk to makes it a rather pleasant, non-soul-destroying place. Like MSN, but not quite as good.

I dropped most games I played there, but I kinda want to stick to Mafia Wars.

Also, Bejeweled Blitz. A bit. I suck at it anyway.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Mafia wars is evil. I'm at something like level 517. It's not much fun, it takes no skill or even blind chance, it's just click click click hey I finished that job. Can't stop playing it though, but at least I am now only playing it on one account.

Why would you have more than 1 account?
Is multiplicity based on your life story?

Probably a fictional account to get 500 people in your mafia without having a bloated friend base on your real one...

I kind of like facebook, as someone who has moved around a bit and emigrated it's convenient to see what family and friends are up to, even if some of them are obsessive status-updaters to a slightly cringe-worthy level.

I have a rule that I only add people I've met in the flesh though. Being an internet nerd and member of many forums, it's a necessary rule.

And yes, I thought I spent a lot of time on Bejewelled, until I had a look at Giles' record... it's terrifying.

The only status updates I ever see from Baudin (I'm not calling him Giles) are "**** just got his 500,000 points star on Bejewelled Blitz" and " Is wondering if anyone is going to Rocksoc/Sanctuary/Darkside tonight"

I'm on and I probably use it far too much. I chat to a couple of Malazan People on there, mostly Brood, and receiving snarky comments from Cougar. I use it as an excellent place to organise things and upload pictures but I never bother with the Farm crap or anything...

I'm on it. I don't do the games much at all, and I'm not big on chatting, but I use it to keep track of friends (IRL and online friends) and relatives, as well as post updates and share links.

I'm at http://www.facebook.com/saltmanz and, for that matter, http://www.twitter.com/saltmanz

It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

now im not at work I can make a full post.

I'm on it, though the account I registered ages ago with my macros at gmail account isn't in use, thought random people who I dont know still try to add me on it, I sometimes figure they're malazanites.
If you did try to add me and I ignored you, I wasnt being rude, the email addy just is wrong.

Member of the Malazan group.

For actual facebook, easy way to keep up with people, especially as I don't be home much at the minute.
