Faster or I pull the trigger.
"Yes, indeed. Something like, perhaps, 'They Did The Job They Had To Do'?"
"No," said Vimes, coming to a halt under a lamp by the crypt entrance. "How dare you? How dare you! At this time! In this place! They did the job they didn't have to do, and they died doing it, and you can't give them anything. Do you understand? They fought for those who'd been abandoned, they fought for one another, and they were betrayed. Men like them always are. What good would a statue be? It'd just inspire new fools to believe they were going to be heroes. They wouldn't want that. Just let them be. Forever."

The Imperial Navy wrote:What keeps me going? I think it's the fact it's a familiar place, it's something I enjoy, and to top it off, part of me loves battling with others on topics, even if it is futile. So! My question is to those who have been here a while, those whom know the ins and outs of NSG.

What is it that keeps you here? Enjoyment? Or another reason?

For me, all the people I've 'met', on occasion I like to debate, but really its more about socializing :?

Mainly because NS has become my connection to the outside world. Something that isn't rural Japan and filled with people who understand some of the same cultural refrences. Oddly enough, I'd say that spending large chunks of time arguing about everything has helped keep me away from culture shock and has allowed me to keep on an even keel. *nods*

Of course then Ard went and bribed me with cookies (Which never showed up) to get Red Shirt'ed and then Max locked the door behind the three of us so now we can't get out! :shock:

You're on NS. Any even keel you thought you were has long since disappeared.

Lets see... Kanabia, Moleland... I know a few, but I do not know many of the "Newer folks" sadly.

So I cannot probably guess.

I was drawn in by people being hopelessly and wilfully stupid about evolution. I don't know why I'm still here, except to jump up and down on threads that make the same mistakes.
It's slightly better than lurking on 4chan /tg/ I guess. One day I'll just make an rpg.net account and leave forever

I'm addicted, but luckily I have no social life.
