Well...I didn't see that coming... 3-0 to a low-ranked team that hasn't RP'ed? After I wrote *that* monster? :blink:

Just be glad it wasn't a blow out ;)

If it makes you feel any better, if I've learned anything from playing against you, long posts don't always equal victory :p

I'm actually quite calm. You'd be surprised if you saw me right now, I think. Perhaps you are mistaking ethical conviction for emotional instability; quite the opposite, I'd say.

However, I wasn't born recently enough to fall for the old canard, "I can mark people out as second-class and treat them however I want, and it's fine because I'm in Kidding Mode." A comedian worth hir weight in salt kicks up, not down.

Oops, I mixed up the WBDT and the WCDT :oops:

Time to take a step back from the discussion threads :D Apologies, Kard, there were no canards there. Mark it up to another misunderstanding, especially if Tae actually was being sarcastic about someone else. It was pretty annoying after seeing him whine about results in the WCDT for like the millionth time--if he was being sarcastic here, that's probably a sign of growth and I should eat my words.

Apologies in advance for a lackluster RP tonight. I had a nice, full-length reply get wiped out by the fact that it took too long to write and I lost it when I tried to post due to being automatically logged out.

If I take a while to write an RP, I always open my nation page in another tab and click a link to the forums from there. That normally ensures I'm logged in before the post.
