@HannahB what's your opinion on long distance relationships?

Hmm, I guess I don't really know, I'm not sure if I would want to be involved in one, not because I wouldn't like the person or not want to be involved with them but simply because I'd be worried that it wouldn't go well because of the distance .

That being said I have never had a proper "relationship" with anyone so I don't really know what I would say if someone asked me...

If you are looking for my general opinion, then I guess I'd say I don't mind them, or people in them, I would just be personally cautious getting involved in one myself.

Drat

What is your opinion of the guilds?

What is your opinion of the guilds?

I do toughly apologise for my late response, I have had some trouble getting on recently

Anyway, I can't quite remember if this was posted before or after out discussion on IRC, either way, for everyone else's sakes, I shall relate my opinion here.

To me the guilds seem like a good idea, on paper they should help boost activity and relieve strain on other area's of government while simultaneously promoting citizen's to be more active in said government, if they somehow (and I doubt it) don't succeed it won't be because it was a bad idea, it'll be because we didn't appreciate them somehow...

However, and this is purely subjective, I will be vocally against the guilds... purely because of their popularity and how good they seem... I am quite a contrary person you see... often if I hold no hard-line stance on a debate, I will side with the less popular opinion, merely to play devils advocate, but also because I believe that what makes the best ideas the best, is being able to stand up to the strongest opposition, it may sound selfish or self inflating, but I honestly believe it can help sometimes.

Additionally I have had some, unfortunate run-ins with groups calling themselves guilds in other communities before... now this is an even more subjective point than my last one, but it does heavily bias me against them... for what is basically at best; a paranoid delusion and at worst; no reason at all... However, I can't change how I feel about things but I guess this will help with my vocal opposition of them. - Though I realise in the end, this is more to do with the name "Guilds" that I am not a fan of, they function differently from other organisations by that name I have encountered-

With all that being said I will not use any powers I may posses to prevent them or anything, I may even use them myself in my capacity, as I say, I think it is a good idea and should help out a lot... It's just bad experiences and my contrary nature that may sometimes make it seem like I am more against them than I actually are.

Thank you for your question Laurentus!

Thought I'd bump this, since it's been a long while and I don't think all of the members that have joined in the long time since this was a thing know it exists.

So yeah, as always, ask me anything.

Which of the world's evils are you most opposed to?

To answer that question from Aethelia, from like nearly 2 years ago, I most dislike charismatic dishonesty, not just lying but effectively convincing other people of your lies....

Anyway, (hopefully I can post here without too much issue) was browsing my work emails and noticed notifications from @Laurentus and @Wintermoot (sorry for the mentions, if that works it's been a while) thank you guys . So I spent the last few hours browsing the forum feeling nostalgic for the times when I spent like 12 hours a day hanging out in IRC and scrolling around here. I love you guys.

It's super easy for me to pop in and check a forum post for these next few days over the weekend and I'll probably be online for a few hours, so as the title says: (has always said ) Ask Me Anything? (if you are curious about me or what I've been up to) 

Well, welcome back! Are you going to stay back for a while, and what have you been doing for, like, the last 2 years?

Thanks Lau . I can post on the forum super easy, since it's nice and slow paced might try to keep up with it if I don't get too invested, but it won't be as much as before.

I graduated Uni, 1st class, with Merits, top of my class, (a little proud of myself sorry ) and am on a graduate programme with a company, don't know if I should say who since I needed a bunch of security clearance but eh... but they are big in the areospace and power industry and a very well known name in the uk. I've been living with Nargothond (that's his nation not his real name, he is still on NS at least once a week ) who I met on here, for a while and we just recently had our 2 year anniversary in November.

Had way more self confidence in recent years (to which I attribute entirely to you guys here), but with that I have had so much to do IRL and so many places to be and all of my online stuff just sort of dropped off... when I come home I don't play much video games or comment on anything, mainly I'll just want to sorta chill out and relax instead of actively participating in stuff, but I still hop around everything and read stuff quite a bit, just don't want to say anything and get sucked in.

Where can I express our undying love and devotion towards you? I missed you Welcome back for the moment!

Please no undying love and devotion  . I really don't deserve it .

I missed you too Crush and thanks for the welcome back .

Will you be starting your own religion to rival The Great Spud or Amalyism?

I certainly hope not  but if one springs up, who would I be to stop it.   

Damn, welcome back! To this day I'm still wondering if you'll come back and revive that Choose your own adventure game you started.

Haha, I loved that game, just took so much work for me to retool the game in to reasonable engaging language... But I will think about it, would people be mad if it started again from the beginning?
