Just saying Hi :)

[Shellie]

I was thinking about tows today and popped in.

How is everyone? What's going on in your lives?

Sine and I are great. He's loving his current job, it's been a few years now so I can't really say new anymore. However, he's a hermit and spends his non working hours youtubing or playing MTGO.

The kid is in Kindergarten (OMG), I left my job a couple years ago and now I'm a stay at home mom. Sine works from home, as his company is based out of Pittsburgh. Other than that, nothing really new.

The kid is following in Sine's footsteps. He loves science and shows a knack for Math and engineering. Loves games, he plays Terraria, Mario Maker, and Minecraft (of course). He really likes Scrap Mechanic, but it doesn't play well on his laptop. Anything where he can build stuff.

Anyway, much love to you all

[Eric]

Everytime you or Sine show up like 10 threads get bumped

Glad you and your family are doing well! Stop by more often!

[ManaMan]

The kid has good taste with Terraria! Tell Sine to get his butt back in here, I haven't seen a post from him in months. What kind of person stops posting at the Shrine for extended periods of time???

[kali o.]

Sounds like things are going great (should have lied first, and made up an outrageous story).

Me...I am being my usual odd self, refusing to grow up. I did buy some properties in Greece. Occasionally killing the bots here. Mental still shows up once and awhile, but I don't think he enjoys it unless he is fighting. Same old same old.

And thank you for holding down the fort

[Julius Seeker]

Glad to hear everything's going well!

Things are rolling along fairly regularly here right now. It should be an exciting year with the U.S. presidential election, Final Fantasy games, a new console(s?), new Paradox Interactive games, and that huge open world Zelda game.

Hi Shel! Hope all is well. Thanks for keeping the Shrine up and running.

Tell Sine to come talk Magic some time, it would be fun.

I don't love the fights at all, Kali. I don't love it when you say shit like "I could have you killed" to me, or to the rest of the board. You don't seem to remember the days before all the fights, even though you were around for that era. I remember when you were Slappy White, after all. My issue with you is your evasiveness, your hatreds - I remember when you were talking about the "miserable Greeks", after all - I don't care at all if you bought properties in Greece, I only care if you hurt people doing it. I just wish you wouldn't bring it to the board I made.

Spoiler: show

Since you have repeatedly rebuffed most of my attempts to solve our differences between ourselves away from the board, I'll just put this here. Quite frankly, I'm sure you could have a lot of us killed with the wealth and power you have, but you can't do it and not get found out - not without paying a LOT more in police bribes than you want to spend. You might be able to make me disappear and joke about having the whole board killed...but you can't make the dozen people or so I talked about your threats with disappear too.

I have put rather a lot of effort into being less combative here, despite what you may think. Since you are now by default the most powerful person here other than Brendan and Shel, it would be nice if you curbed your own power trips too. I actually have a level of concern and compassion for you as a person at this point. Please be good to us and be good to the board I *did* found, which you once told me was basically irrelevant, and please don't make any more "jokes" about having people killed. By the way - at least as far as I am aware - you are not under FDIC investigation. But if you keep making those kinds of "jokes" you will get put under investigation by someone no matter what you do, or what I do, for that matter. Do us all a favor and be kind. Please. And I will try to do the same. I have been no saint here as we all know, but I made this place as a refuge of sorts from all the bullshit. I'd like it to retain some of that, even if it's not mine anymore.

lol, I love you so damn much it isn't funny

[Shrinweck]

Please don't have me killed kali, I promise I'll agree with you about Danganronpa and everything.

Well, I can't promise I never will, but you have a pass for now, my little werewolf.

Btw - I am definitely not Slappy. Not sure where you got that Mental. He actually came back briefly at some point to give everyone an update.

Right right, you love me so much you still have "homo" up on the front page of the site just to fuck with me, so much that you paid to have me surveilled ten years ago rather than talk a dispute out like an adult, so much that you're going to play it off now like you saying you could have everyone here killed never happened...yeah, Kal, you love us all so much, don't you?

I don't love fighting at all, but you loooooove fucking with and needling and manipulating people. You absolutely love this shit; like Mana, I'm finally starting to wake up to it all. Personally I don't see a benefit to myself anymore to trying to change it. You will never change. Indeed, society has rewarded your manipulative interpersonal style over and over again; so why would you?

Shel - if you want my advice, have Brendan back here to talk about effective site leadership at some point.

Hey, Shellie! Been forever.

My three kids are 7 (twins) and 5 now. Pains in the asses, of course, but always fun. I only come here a couple times a month now and don't get to play much games anymore, just collecting. The whole real-life responsibilities and all. But it's all good, tons of fun.
