Next Monday is Jonny's 21st birthday, and we have plans to go to the Lizard that night. Not looking good for RP. I propose maybe a daytime session on Saturday or Sunday, if nothing else is going on. My mom will be in town, so I may have to renege on that too. We shall see. [[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 03:04, 26 April 2011 (EDT)

The EX3 Devs sent out a low-res version of the final map, unfortunately it's a little too low-res to see too many details.

I haven't posted in forever. Sorry about that - in the case of Star Wars, this was actually careless reading on my part. Tony's last post left ''me'', not Brian, poised to respond. I actually missed that. I'm going to post a reply by tomorrow evening.

As per seems to be normal, things have been pretty hectic, to the extent that I've sort of put writing moments and stories on the back-burner (although if anyone has momentum in this direction, I'd love to talk ideas, this might get me jazzed up enough to force some time in that direction). That said, I have no intention letting our Star Wars game die. I've resigned that it's actually easiest for me to post during my lunch break, which is not a big deal. I'm going to do my best to impose a 72-hour for myself on replies to that. My lack of Star Wars reply since last time has been an unfortunate combo of busyness and misreading.
==Database Backup==
I backed up Seventh Legion today. Download it just so we have copies on as many hard drives as possible.

Hope Shadowrun is going well. There's still nothing started up here (classes always end up taking more time than we think they will), although there remains enough interest that I think we could get a group (probably for DnD, but hey, I'll take it) going next quarter.
Can you guys believe all the content we've generated over the years? Just hit random page over and over again and marvel. It's awesome.
I'm still puzzling over my top 10 characters. It's like picking a favorite child. Also, there's still time to get Final Fantasy tickets for this summer - do we wanna do that? It'd be awesome if any of you guys ever want to take a trip to Chicago (for the concert or for any reason, haha) and come see my 'hood.

Talk to you all later. Feel better Brian.
It really is amazing and I'm pretty glad it's lasted as long as it has and generated so much content. I would say the sitting here and clicking random page has gone from something I enjoy to being a full fledged hobby of mine. Also, this is a little late but did you guys realize that March 25th, 2012 was the 5th anniversary of this site being live?

No problem... Shadowrun has been taking up most of my creative energies anyway. Once the current SW chapter is wrapped up I will probably have put it on the backburner (maybe until the summer). Take your time.
Pretty awesome and continuing to grow as always. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Eh, some of those statistics are skewed. Just remember that [http://aartedafuga.blogspot.com/2009/06/secessao.html some sites] link to our maps of the world... possibly mistaking them for reality? I really can't tell. [[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 05:35, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
Wouldn't that make it fairly easy? I think I speak for the others as well when I say that it's pretty obvious who the favorites are in our families.
Definitely wouldn't mind a trip to Chicago. I don't see anything in the way of my attendance of the FF concert. It's on a weekend right? We should probably get a final head count and buy tickets together so we sit together...
I'm feeling better, should probably be back to 100% tomorrow. I'd be up for some Shadowrun this weekend, but if Tony is busy, I wouldn't mind just working on the mage group or whatever else. I've got nothing going on this weekend.

==Cancelled until further notice, ugh...==
I woke up feeling under-the-weather today... I don't know exactly what it is yet. But if I feel this way when I wake up tomorrow, I'm going to have to cancel RP :-(
Hold off on ordering pizza/making dinner until you hear from me... ugh
[[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 01:19, 10 February 2011 (EST)
Consider it cancelled unless you hear from me... I am feeling worse, so unless I wake up tomorrow with no fever and some energy, I don't think I'll be up for playing, and I don't want to get anyone else sick... maybe we can find some time this weekend, I was really pumped for this mission (still am) [[User:Kirkland|Kirkland]] 03:35, 10 February 2011 (EST)
Bummer dude. Feel better, we haven't missed many weeks so don't worry about it. This weekend isn't great for me between Valentines Day and I have a Volleyball tournament. --[[User:FyreFly|FyreFly]] 06:16, 10 February 2011 (EST)
Boooo! Hisssss! When is this volleyball tourney and Valentines date? I have no soccer this weekend. Do we want to try on Tony's free day? Probs not if its Friday? I have a calm weekend so Brian and I can always iron out the details on the magic group if nothing else. --[[User:Macabreengel|Macabreengel]] 10:58, 10 February 2011 (EST)
==Awesome Star Wars Fan Documentary==
I think they are all available on youtube and this is the guy's blog. I watched the first 8 "Star Wars Begins" and they were pretty awesome, I'd recommend them for any Star Wars Fan. (They are a bit lengthy though)

==LoL==
Hi, just thought I should tell all of you having trouble connecting to the LOL server a small trick:
1) Browse to ...\Riot Games\League of Legends\html\js
2) Open main.js with a text editor
3) Find the line "if (!$(this).hasClass('play_button_disabled')) {" (without quotes)
4) Delete "if (!$(this).hasClass('play_button_disabled')) {" and the corresponding bracket.
It should look like:
...
$('#play_button').click(function() {
Launcher.play();
return false;
});
...
5) Save and Enjoy!
Feel free to post any questions! Have fun playing!

Stumbled upon some really good FF6 remixes that I hadn't heard before. Definitely worth a listen if you didn't already have them. This guy has some other good ones on his website as well

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5Wsf31WIdY World of Darkness MMO confirmed]. Also, they've confirmed it centers around OWoD V:tM, which sits well with me.

==Grass-Spiders==
The focus of Grass-Spiders is character development. Although the missions are important, seeing the characters change and interact is my favorite part of this storyline. I've always thought that the coolest thing about Dragon-Bloods is that they are much more human in scope than Celestial Exalts. They have long, but not unfathomable lifespans. Their Exaltations are not necessarily a result of their excellence (although they still tend to excel), but a genetic phenomenon. They are mere men given inconceivable power. Ultimately, the Grass-Spiders is the story of how people handle this situation. Right now, our characters are pretty much people with jobs. They get up and work. Granted, their jobs are incredibly lucrative and impossibly thrilling, but such is the nature of Exalted. But where will they be in 10 years? 50 Years? 200 years?
My approach to this storyline is have it played out over the lifetimes of the characters. Chapter 1 is indeed the early years, but Chapter 2 may, and likely will be 5 to 10 years later. Chapter 3 may be 20 years after that. As I said above, this is a character piece, and this is the story of the lives of these characters - they will become more influential in the organization. Maybe someday they'll run it. Maybe they'll have families. Maybe they'll leave the Order. Maybe they'll come back. Time will tell.
My plan is to finish out Chapter 1 this summer, before I go to Evanston. This will include a solid introduction to the metaplot, which will persist at least through Chapter 2 (the White Veil Society works very subtly - most of the time - so 5 to 10 years is a perfectly reasonable timeline for their plans). That will proceed as it has been, and it will just last for as many sessions as we can play. Once I get to Evanston, the playing style will be as follows:
