no, the school lends us Chromebooks so that they can control browser extensions and downloads which was a huge issue when they were lending us Macbooks.

No? Then all you might need to do is to disable some applications.

Anyway, we need a host.

Last night is rather blurry, aside from my very strong memory of a posh man who was brought there to shout at me and then...didn't. Did anyone offer to host?

With all due respect, I wasn't brought there exclusively to shout at you. I actually came over to have a laugh with new people; something I found quite novel considering the relative dullness of my current predicament. That was great fun, by the way -- thanks guys! ^^;

Is there any point making a list of people confirmed for next week? Why not just use last weeks list, adding new people and removing people who say they don't want to participate. It means the same people don't have to say they're coming every single week, and that the host doesn't have to check quite as often.

And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Nah it was my fault as well lol. I, too, feel rather passionate about it tbf; I can't keep my mouth shut over these things. Let's just keep away from the matter, as I'm a teensy bit too arrogant when it comes to things like thar.

I found that 9pm was a good time, so if we could have the same this week then that'd be good.

And I still find it amusing that newcomers remark that we all look normal in comparison to what they expected, as if we are all a bunch of fucking monsters or something.

if people use an animal/human-like avatar, i typically just imagine them as being that avatar, so i assumed you'd look like yours - old and white
in my case, my lack of a face reveal means i could still well be a talking assassin bug
