I'm back! Who wants to kill me?
So, since I'm back and I'm in no games, let's start one. Who wants to welcome me back from surgery by defeating me? I propose a classic game, PPSC, 24-hour phases, and a stake of about 25 D. Who's in?

Yeah....I've changed my view. He's a Patriot. Yes, he committed an illegal act...but sometimes a good man must break the law to do the right thing. Had he worked for Enron, he'd be a hero, a -, and the government would protect him. But when you are blowing the whistle on the government...

Too many topics about Mapleleaf. Let's make another one.
I muted all the threads about mapleleaf and it's like all the drama he's causing vanished. Fascinating how well that worked. (I guess I didn't mute this thread. That would be weird muting your own thread though.)

The poo maple
As I was cleaning my mapleleaf, I discovered it was covered in poo. I got it all over my shorts. When I checked if it did happen, I got it all over my hands. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell like maplepoo.

Please advise.

Maplepoo Donations
Since it is quite evident to all that Maplepoo it yet another Canadian that really wishes he weren't, and he has obvious jealousy issue with the US - his desired dwelling place, but that his criminal record (or some such thing) is preventing him from becoming a US citizen, and thus he has taken to rather amusing constant stream of America bashing to try to soothe his saddened soul....let's take up a collection and send old maplepoo the biggest US flag we can find.

Hey gang. Having spent the last week in hospital, I'm back. Hopefully that was the last operation I'll need. Going to need to spend the next few weeks healing, but that'll give me plenty of time to join some games. Thanks very much to abgemacht for sitting my account for the last week.

An Idea for World Games
Most of my recent games have been World, and I've found that once you get 20+ units, the list of orders can become quite unwieldy. Since you develop different "fronts" involving different sets of units, it'd be really cool to be able to arrange my own units to I could keep all of my South American guerrillas separate from my Mongolian hordes (Inner and regular). Would this be simple/worthwhile to incorporate?

• I have a job.
• My high score is 4.3, and that was this semester, the one semester out of the eight that I really didn't try on anything or give a shit about a single course.
• I'm going to college in Illinois. I don't know what the laws are, all I know is that whoever makes them is going to be in jail someday.

OK, here is my for real advice, and it is as serious as anything I have ever said on this website:

It is very important that you figure out what you want to do. Maybe you want influence and power, or to be rich, or the be the best at something, or to find an easy job that allows you focus on other stuff, or to have lots of kids, or to make the world better. It might be some combination of these things.

This sounds like a cliche or so obvious as to be useless, but it's not. People have no idea what they want in the world. I didn't; I let what I thought was the right ("right") choice and others influence me too much. That doesn't mean it's wrong to not know. But this is your best chance to figure it out and start down that path.

I'm more a worker than a customer on that front, and I only really do it on occasion for family/family friends, so I charge considerably less. I was just taking a cheap-shot at the rest of the country's low minimum wage from my seat of pretentiousness here in Seattle.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
05 Jun 14 UTC
Seriously? I'll go for $25 an hour if you want.

Crabapple, yeah, fuck off and be poor sounds good.

Ghug, you, taking cheap shots at the rest of the country, bragging about Seattle? NO!

See, here I am trying to be serious, and you guys are talking about handjobs or whatever.

Question: Is everyone on this site old, like celebrating 20+ years wedding anniversaries old, or young, like college-aged or below, except me?

I got you at 10, I could have offered 8 and you would have jumped. First lesson learned. Don't listen to Roberts, you have time, enjoy. You'll never get anything like your college years again. But to Roberts point, the time is finite and at some point you need to assess what's important.
