Yeah, that one doesn't work well here at all. That said, an interesting new personality comes along, and people will naturally gravitate towards them. That only seems to happen when someone comes across as being genuine.

That happens to me fairly regularly. Of course, the problem I have is that there are three different nations that I could possibly have used. Then, sometimes, I find it and it's on another nation and I like to keep my puppets quiet.

That said, it'd be a dull world if everyone got along absolutely all the time. I don't particularly enjoy confrontation, but if someone says or does something I don't like, I won't stand for it. I much prefer to have a good time of course. I'd never look for conflict.

Sometimes conflict looks for you. It can be quite the effort to do what must be done while also avoiding writing things that will result in moderators having to do what must be done as well.

My friends and I discuss Inception with reasonable regularity so it is, perhaps, unsurprising that one day I tell them that I'm not usually confused as to whether I am dreaming or not (this is related to my not really remembering many dreams these days). When I get home it occurs to me that I am often have memories that I am not sure actually happened so I end up asking myself, "Okay, so was that a dream or not?" Sometimes I have memories that are really blended memories. For instance, there's this really epic episode of Digimon that is actually the result of about three different episodes over two series.

For the most part, I don't use my puppets for substantial posts. There are a lot with ten or fewer posts. Only three with many posts. At one stage I was wondering whether my third nation would over-take my first nation in terms of post counts but I got over the reason I started posting with that nation and returned to this one.

It's like my Runescape accounts. Quite a few of those, only two that actually got any sort of development. And blogs. Heaps of those. Only one with more than five posts.
