I did my best.
I'm usually not on during the weekends at all.

We had great fun last night.

Yeah, Chris. You were a bright spot last night.

And don't worry about it, Evan. I didn't expect you to see the point. tongue

Haha! You know I'm just messin' with ya!

But seriously, dude. It's perfectly ok to acknowledge that the side you disagree with isn't the only one that plays underhanded political games. You're way too smart to play "their side is bad, my side is good" games. Either something is wrong or it isn't. Drawing distinctions without a differences is beneath you.

Anyway, I hate to leave just when Chris is getting on to post, but I have to get up early. Sorry, guys! See you tomorrow night, maybe! happy

It's almost midnight, so I'm not staying long either.
Just trying to do my part!

Bless you guys for doing your best to stay the course! hugs We're looking at a little over 12 hours to go, here, so we might survive. tongue I might survive. I've never tried to be an RPG Peter Sellers before. tongue

Normally I think playing at being Vjikings and oppressed monks is great fun, which is why I do medieval re-creation. I can see how it would be hard for people who aren't interested, though.

Guy--you're a history buff, right? You could mock us in a thread where you ask us historical questions which we're supposed to answer without looking anything up. Dark Ages England/Scandinavia would be a plus, given the current theme, but anything would do.

Would that be more to your liking?

I don't know all that much about Western Europe's Dark Ages, though. Maybe more than the average person, but I think the most I learned about the period was from a History Channel special. tongue

Just follow my runes links back to the Nova page.
They have videos and stuff there.

I really have to go to bed. Night all.

I have been called to go be a modjerator doh! , but I'll pop back in when I can.

Guy--what kind of history are you interested in?

More post-1450 stuff, at least with the West. I'm interested in the Islamic world, and certain aspects of Asian history, but most things in that part of the world (particularly in China and India-- excepting the Islamic expansion into India) seem to move very, very slowly until about the 18th and 19th centuries. tongue

My "best" period is actually Early Modern Europe, especially England. I confess that I do have a certain fondness for the old Norse civilizations though (they were actually only "vikings" when they were raiding). My last name is Scandinavian, and a large chunk of my ancestors came from Denmark and Norway. My mother used to have use this crazy "suck it up" expression that she got from her mother: "The north wind made the vikings." (The proper response is, of course, "I'm not a viking, and I don't caaaaaaaaaare!!!") My grandmother's father was a Norwegian shipwright, of all things. So maybe I do have deranged viking ancestors back there somewhere. tongue

Also, I think pretending to be a barbarian is kinda cool. tongue

This has to be the most exclusive social thread ever. tongue



EDIT: Also, everytime I look at ophelia's icon I think I see Obi-Wan blinking. Then I look for a short while longer, and realise he was not blinking. Then I wonder whether there's a slight smirk forming on his lips. Probably not...

I'm trying to form my own clique so I can be cool, E. And the same thing happens to me when I look at her icon, too!
