Impressive. I was driving at 14, just a school permit, since I grew up rural. Still have yet to kill anyone.

I can legally drive.

However, I really should not have this privilege.

A RPing question.

On another site I made an interest thread for a RP about the Battle of Gaia and said that the Ragon will lose and some guy named Zenith would take command of the Gaian defenses after the first guys death. Players could play as both Ragon and Gaians.

Someone pointed out that I seemed to have it all in mind, so I'm wondering.

Are RP's were the ending is already decided worth it with Player vs Player RP's?

You should be terrified of riding in a car then.

After spending a week in the Bahamas I have no fear of first-world roads. Once you've been driven around at high speeds in a rickety-ass van with no seatbelts over roads that are 110% pothole everything else seems pretty tame by comparison.

I had one job. "Back up the vehicle," they said. "It's simple and nothing can go wrong," they said.

Then I hit the gas pedal.

I must be abnormal because I actually like driving when I'm first starting. Except I'm bad at turning which is why for now I'm practicing in a new suburb where there aren't even any houses built yet. And trying to learn in a big truck doesn't help with it at all.

Now that I think of it I should of made it based on soldiers or something on one side.

I disabled NS++ a while back, simply because I knew this was a possibility. I remember Afforess getting all defensive about the possibility that he would ever abuse anything regarding it, saying it would not only get him DOS'd, but would also probably risk his livelihood, given that he's a programmer and programmers generally don't try to nakedly blackmail and threaten the people they make content for.
Glad to see I was justified in my concern.
