The second person in TET today who's mentioned answering the call of the mountains. I'm deeply envious.

What call? Mountains don't get reception.

Soon you'll join us in the trails, if you make the choice to. :p John Muir is waiting!


Would love to have a life centered on trails, please teach me how.

They're calling. You're just not listening. Muir is disappointed in you.

And there was ORDER.

It worked.

:bow:

They actually listened and obeyed. I can’t believe it.

This is the quietest and most responsive class all week. I had to warn people continuously but at least with the new command/warning/threat styles they were RESPONSIVE.

The firm warnings before the bathroom breaks were effective in reducing hallway chaos by over 90 percent.

Further testing on other classes is needed but this is very very encouraging.

Basically, you must act like a queen/warmother to get things done

If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long.
