No it's ended now, it's 6 AM and that's late enough. I need smoke and sleep.

I'm visiting family this week but they usually go to bed around ten so I will try to be on at least for a bit (ancient chromebook and family's dodgy internet permitting). Could be that I get an opportunity to stay on a bit later too.

Thank you to all my fellow nations who invited me to join your happy hour. But while I speak good English, I think I don't want to talk and be heard, I prefer typing. I once wanted the LCN League of Conservative Nations discord to roast me good, pro and con, on their discord talk channel, where I would participate. But it never happened, I had problems of personal and political insults from certain LCN leftists and they complained about me, until the leadership kicked me out. The leadership never saw my side of it, only their side of it, But the leader of the LCN is right, they roasted me good, before they kicked me out. The short version of the story.

As I said, there is the NS chat thread, the RMBs and discord to communicate with other fellow nations as well. Thank you all for your invitation.

Well everyone, as expected I can confirm that happy hour will of course be happening at the usual time (9 PM tomorrow), at the usual place (zoomland.) I have my nice long list of people, if anyone would like to join and see what the magic formula that's kept this going for so many months is, just make yourself heard in the thread. All are welcome, whether you're an nsg regular or not.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I logged in several times I'll have you know.

.... Yes, most of it has been just walking around trying to figure out the mechanics in the mean streets of Ankh-Morkpork, but my 'go smell the floor and rummage through rubbish' stat has gone through the roof.

And I just recently learned how to take a job in the job board too!

You can set the typed messages to be either seen by all other conversation participants or just a single individual. So yes, about as private as NS and Discord.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. 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. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

If you need help sometime lemme know. I'm online a lot these days. I should be able to portal soon so i'll bus you around. I'm not being a taxi, I can't stand randomers expecting me to drop everything to portal them for a measly 5 bucks, but i'll do it for friends for free.

I'm either hunting with some friends I made or in the Drum drinking with them if i'm online. I've accidentally pissed of Pishe by murdering an entire town too many so now i've drifted down into "Neutral" alignment and she's very, very angry with me and is withholding my powers, so it'll be a while until I've gotten myself back to being a goody two shoes. I'll probably be in the drum praying for a while, since I cba to find a nest of evil and kill it to make it up to her.

I think it was all the child murder.

Yeah. Probably the child murder.

Tell you what mate, if you're online when I am we'll hunt for a bit and i'll rustle up some cash, take you to the custom armor shops and you can decide on an aesthetic. I recently finished mine off, just waiting on my custom daggers now, and then i'll try and get some Sekkite to trade me a Holy Weapon ritual for one of my rituals so I can complete my Phoenix theme. (Well, complete it when I get a Witch to delude my daggers into thinking their names are Light and Heat.).

My goal is to get holy weapon so they "scorch" and "vaporize" and so on instead of "stab" and "Impale", delude them so they think their names are Light/Heat so the combat message says as much like "??? Vaporizes the warrior with Light", then get them enchanted.

Usually going all in on enchanting and holy weapon is like, bad. It increases damage but makes them harder to use, but daggers are easy to use so it'll be like wielding two swords. (There's basically no way i'd be able to duel wield enchanted holy swords until i'm like, level 500. Duel wielding enchanted holy daggers is doable though.).
