All I have to say is that only 1 in 10 18-25 year olds voted. This is among those who were actually REGISTERED to vote. Sad. And to think that we're actually the majority in this country. No wonder no one takes us seriously. God, I don't care who you vote for. Honestly. Just vote. In the next electi...

*grinds her teeth* No. Not going to comment. All I'm going to say is that when asked at my legislative interview today, what I thought one of the most important issues was in Arizona is this: "I feel that of all the issues facing Arizonans today, one of the most important issues is one that fac...

That is horrible. I would report their name to a GM. I'm sure there's a way for that sort of thing to be tracked, even if you didn't get a screenshot.

My head hurts. I spent most of last night at an election party in Tucson at a hotel amongst friends and...when things started to look unfavorable, we all just went home. Kind of sad, but oh well. That's just the way things go. *shrugs*

Getting the Teleport-Mea crystal was time consuming, but it saves time to get them in the long run. I'm going to get a scroll of Instan...

Ha ha! True. I know a registered Communist who voted for Bush, though. His reasoning? "It'll bring about the revolution!"

I fear for humanity.

No wonder I've totally lost my faith in it.

At least you don't have people training citadel bats, fallen majors, and revenants in the Eastern Altepa Desert. -_-; I just got the Altepa crystal a few weeks ago. I'd rather level there than Garlaige anyday, but people are real pains about going there: "It's too far away!" "I don't ...

I've got THF and WAR and RDM all leveled up for a while (WAR at 37, RDM at 38, THF at 30). I do tend to ask people what they need me to sub before I join a party. The stupidest reason I've been denied a party as a DRK/THF when my WAR sub wasn't leveled: "We need a second tank." Uhhhh....DR...

I've seen a Lenina on the Siren server. Every time I see her (she's also a mithra), I can't help but think of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (aka Lenin). Heh.

Good. I'm glad. I try to keep politics and whatnot out of the game arena, but this is really important. I mean, there seriously is no excuse not to vote. If you don't have a car, request a mail-in ballot. It doesn't cost anything (not even for postage). Can't say I know any politicians, though. I mi...

Not intending on starting a flame war here, but if you're of age, you're a US citizen, and you have a voter registration card and a driver's license.... Today is November 2. Get off the computer and vote! Especially if you're in the 18-23 age bracket -- we are the majority in this country, and yet w...

Gwynn said: personally i won't be in a party that won't accept anything but the traditional subjobs. Maybe it's just the Siren server, but we have a lot of subjob Nazis on there. I call them that because they're like, "You can't sub anything but WAR with NIN because NINs are supposed to be blin...

Has anyone had trouble getting a party playing as a DRK/THF? I got my DRK up to 42 while subbing THF, but when I started looking for parties in Crawlers Nest at 42 (it's sort of a transitional level, I know), I found I wasn't getting any -- but all the DRK/WARs were. I was recently invited to a part...

Yeah, I've seen a lot of those too.

No clue what it references, though (probably some anime I've never seen).

-- Sarah

There are also lots of "Purr--" names on the Siren server, but they're pretty cool, so I don't mind them (like Purrsia, Purrussia (I think she told me it's supposed to be a play on Prussia, and some other ones).

Though it is pretty funny to see a 74 WAR named Kittylicious.

-- Sarah

The name Mozyr comes from the name of a small town in Byelorus located pretty close to Chernobyl. Most of my RP characters have names connected to Russian. I have a Galka mule character on Siren named Tovarishch, which is Russian for "comrade." So that's where my names came from. -- Sarah

I agree with you, Tivia. For some reason all the "kitty" names for mithras just irritate me. The name from my character comes from the name of a mountain range in Slovenia (I'm Slovenian). I thought it was creative.

-- Sarah

I have lots of friends in Canada. One of them is a physics professor at one of the universities in Quebec. I've got a few friends that live in London, Ontario and some friends who live in Toronto. Never been there, though. I have issues with cold weather (I've lived in AZ for going on 15 years now)....

I agree the government does fail, but we're here, so we may as well deal with it and at least try to make it better while we can. I'm sort of of the mind that, okay, this is bad -- but change comes from within first, even if it does take a really long time. What we do today affects what happens tomo...

So true. Honestly, Russia is awesome. From an historical point of view. It's not someplace I'd want to live full-time, though. They have their own time zone, I swear. It's Russian Standard Time -- which usually means that if you need to get someplace, everything will be late, the bus drivers will de...

Zdravstvuyte! Or as we say in English, hello! I'm Sarah -- I hail from the Siren server, where I play a Mithra named Mozyr. Surprised that I don't see any Siren people on here! Forgive me if there are -- I just didn't see the server mentioned anywhere. A little bit about me. Bah. Mostly everything i...
