Nothing much, just got back from playing softball

I'm fully awake now. Fed the birds and put them outside in the nice shade, beautiful day. And just received word the folks aren't too far from their first overnight stop.

whoo hoo

Heading to bed guys

Just bored, thought I'd ask. Any of you guys have a favorite character you made?

Doug and Illyana, they're two of the first I created from my favorite X-Couple

Gotta be obvious for me, it's James I've really fleshed him out nicely but my favorite incarnation of him is the Haven City one, feel like he's a more conflicted individual than his other incarnations. After him I'd say John Talbot, he's a good villain I think.

Indeed. It's a bit less obvious in my case since I usually don't recycle characters but I'd say Angelica is mine.

I really only recycle James just cause I'm a bit lazy haha but I've got a bunch of guys I'm looking to flesh out more in Haven City.

I think my best character though is Carol.

Yeah Carol is a badass.

her and Ian are the two that have the best story to them.

Yeah, I'd say Ian or Keith are my favorites out of your characters with Jill, Carol, Doug, and Illyana all coming in close behind.

I love James, so much that you can do with him.

Yeah I've been able to fit him into a lot of RPGs, he can play the bad guy, the hero, or the anti hero well.

yep

I like Keith though a lot, always trying to keep everything level.

I try to play each character differently and add a little bit of myself to each one

Yeah, same here.

be back in a bit

I'm not too sure about mine. I have a real like to Isabelle and April on CURA, mostly because neither of them are a challenge for me to play, they're made up of mostly me. Izzy's reactions and quirky side is exactly how I speak and act from time to time. And their compassion and kindness is me too.

However, my favourites are the cold hearted villains. I really enjoyed playing Haleigh Finnegan- who could electrify at touch, and Bionica who could disintegrate. Then Jacqueline in COK, she's so cruel and cold its so interesting for me to push myself for the hatred but keep the charm and seductive trait with her.


My biggest regret is not being able to make use of some characters who could/could've been greater- Kaetlynne and Sahlene have the potential to be better but I just need to explore things more. Lana as a clone was cool, and Ashleigh in Haven City could've been used more.

Heading off, might be back

If I'm a player in the NFL right now I'm pissed that we've got to deal with refs that have no experience or haven't refed in years. THese refs are not controlling the games, costing us games, don't know the rules, and seem more like fans than officials. At the same time though, I'd take advantage of their inexperience as a vet or coach. If I'm a defender I'm holding a reciever well beyond the five yard allowance, grabbing the collar to bring a runner down, getting in late hits and whatever else I can get away with because the refs are either too intimidated/awestruck to call a penalty on me or they just don't fully comprehend the rules. If I'm on offensive player then I'm holding a defender and whatever else I can get away with that I couldn't with the usual refs.

As a fan though, I'm done with football at least until the reg officials return, especially if I'm putting out good money to see my team play. I think if enough fans just stop watching the games and paying to go to these games the owners might finally get with the program and get this thing with the refs settled. I heard that some fans are trying to get others to leave at halftime, I think it's a good idea for people that have already paid for tickets to upcoming games. Go to the games sit there for a quarter or two then leave.

Yeah sounds like a good idea.

I read that some of the refs are from the LINGERIE FOOTBALL LEAGUE...the fucking Lingerie league...I mean really Roger Goodell?
