Thread pruned a bit. What is it about this obsession with wanting the last word?

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.

Not really old... but been on the BIS message board. Mostly as a lurker I guess, due to the effort it takes to write in Engish and especially so if one's quick to anger^^ I may have joined Missy's at some point, at least I do remember her. Don't remember much else from back then, just a few names and people. Ah, good to see some of the familiar faces nicknames here :)

This thread is good times.

 

Grommy, for what it's worth, I created an orc character in Skyrim based on you. Ha! Good Fun! :dancing:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

My memory is fuzzy, samm. You're a computer science major, right?

So is mine... You're the one with the crates, aren't you? ;)

 

CS minor, literature major. But I wasn't during the time at BIS, must have been at school then (Junior Highschool I'd guess it would be in the US).

Nice combo. Probably confounds everybody. What do you do these days, or you still at uni?

Yes, seems quite confounding to some - to me, those two subjects were just what interested me the most :)

What I do? Jobwise, I'm no longer at uni, I've finished last year, and been working as a programmer since (before that, I have been doing so part time for around seven years).

 

And what is it that you do nowadays?

That's sad about tarna. Same with you Sargy, seeing Visc smiling made me smile and sad at the same time. I've always wondered what happened to the rest of the guys.

With that consideration, maybe remove his email in case there's a spambot that didn't pick it up already...

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Good thinking.
