"emerge into the ship (after washing and dressing)"

...but what if I want to run around naked, as the green goo monster, leaving a slimy trail as I go....

So, I keep helping DH with food stuff, and am always impressed with the things I see here.... not enough to actually make them, but hey. I can dream of it, right?

I'm a lazy American. Maybe not as lazy as some, but definitely lazy. Mine, though female, is the life of the bachelor. I come home, peel off my shoes, shirt, socks... and usually end up popping a Hot Pocket in the microwave. But tonight... I cooked! Wow, it was a crazy night. 15-20 minutes (including photo taking time - 40 minutes to prep them for this post) versus the 3 minutes for a Hot Pocket!

All in pictures - may your deity help your connection. Hopefully the laughs will be worth it. If not, please don't hurt me... too much.

"Some Cheap Asian Noodles, and Discontinued Tuna Steak."

Prep time: 15-20 minutes, with goofing off.
Cost: $1.97US for 6 noodle servings. $1.96US for the single tuna steak.

(Did I mention I am also "frugal" on some things?)

Yum!

That depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for roleplaying - it's there, but it's so muddled in inter-player politics in many instances that it is disgusting. Admittedly, I have heard MUCH better things about the European servers - so you may have better luck there.

I played UO for about 8 years. I finally broke when I realized that the roleplayers I played with had lowered their standards so far... well, they went where I could not follow. I was assaulted verbally OOC, and a player broke so many courtesies, showed no respect, and used OOC information willfully... and the community in general accepted that behavior. 
I just stopped logging in one day. That was in September/October 2006.

UO, mechanically, is nothing particularly special either. Nothing is overly 'broken'. I do still have my account, but I think UO continues to exist on the playerbase that simply can't move on for whatever personal reasons, moreso than new players joining it.

The new -client- overhaul will be out soon, but months after that, there will be a new expansion, as has been EA's practice year-to-year.

It's lower requirements are a nice draw for those that don't have the super-computers needed for most MMOs coming out (or even out now).

I may be a little jaded at having seen all the changes over the years, too.

That was intense, and I believe well done. I have no real criticism at all. In fact, it was NICE to see a PnP style scenario pulled off in a game. You and your helper cohorts did very well!

Being the one that made one of the hardest decisions (by far, Jeziellia was NOT the only one making hard choices last night)... I don't at all feel like I was limited. If Jez had left the camp instead of doing something - I know you would have adapted. And believe you me... She almost did not come back to the camp - why do you think she stopped outside?

I feel confident in saying those things since there's no way to change her decision.

Her journal entry won't be the best explanation of what happened, I don't think. Maybe it will.

I'm having a hard time writing it. I keep getting this weird lump in my throat, as her mind drifts toward certain thoughts - like the last time she saw him, which happened to be the first and last time he would ever really hug her to comfort her instead of vice versa.

*sniffles*

Oh no! I wish you the best in your recovery from this. Take care of yourself and yours.
