« on: May 21, 2007, 02:50:01 pm »
Well, I'm back, 'officially'. I'm in the middle of a good deal of major life decisions, and one of the things I've decided is that Precursors had languished too long. I know the semester's been rough; it's been hell for me. Still, I think it's time for renewed vigor, and a new set of goals and direction for Precursors. Expect quite a bit of work to be done in the near future.

I also just want to let everyone know that I now have several pots in the fire, so I will be working on many projects not just precursors. I'll also be working, and moving (most likely) so I can't promise to be the most present, but I will be here, and I will be pushing this forward. I've pretty much decided that now's the time to make this my life. So I'm going to.

Well, consider this my little inspirational speech to all the forumites.

Oh, one last thing... Anyone interested in doing some RP on these forums? I'll setup a RP section if people want to. :-D

RP was something I was thinking of a while back. I'm interested, despite the retards RP seems to attract... So far we don't have any such RPtards on the forums (to my knowledge), so I'd say let's have at it.

Besides, we can always use some new targets for shooting practice.

Very true. Then again, I'll put Ginny in charge of N00b roasting...

...O.o The thought of Ginny with a flamethrower... I'm very scared now

Something I just realized - Ginny has a forum name, right? So doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of not telling people who she is on the comic site?

If she has one, what is it? Anyway i think RP would be a wonderful thing. As long as people keep up to date with it. With the RP me and my friends in the anime club are doing, none has done anything withit in weeks. oh and Ginny witth a flame thrower is more amusing than scary. maybe cuz she wouldn't hurt me!

Oh, she's going to tell people who she is. So, it's not self defeating. She's just being dramtic.

XD No, it doesn't destroy my... 'mystique'. I am simply here by name, just as on the comic site. >.>
I am Emer-woman of mystery!

Emer does indeed desire RP. >D And a flamethrower.
And, Erica, NO ONE is safe from the flamethrower... particularly not in MY hands.

Just cause she roasted you doesn't mean the rest of us should fear her.  Remember the wars . . . Dawn is still licking his wounds from that.

You say wonderful. I say "condolences." :D

Of course, Cae knows I'm joking. It's still a bit surreal that he's married. Seeing him marry somebody he really loved made me get all introspective about what I want out of life, chicks, marriage, etc. But fear not - it's wearing off, at least a bit. ;)

Exactly - I can't grow up yet!

Seriously, though, it has had a positive effect. Not gonna stop me from hitting on chicks in bars to get some experience in the game theory side of things, but it's at least got me wondering whether I'm wanting short flings or long-term stuff right now, and at least modified how selective I'll be with girls in the future. Or something like that - it's hard to explain.

Ah well, back to morgul's plans for world domination, starting with Precursors!

...Or so you hear, right?

Actually, (and more on this in another thread I'm going to be writing in a few minutes (hours?) the world domination might not be through Precursors just yet. Precursors is huge, and as such, won't be done in the next two years... GNE needs something to show by then. So, it might END with Precursors, but it will begin with something much smaller... and... shall I say 'bloodier'? *evil grin*

Well, off to rub the back of my Art Slave... erm.. girl friend...

P.S. Oh, and marriage will change your life. Suddenly you find out how much of a slob you've been. :-p
