does anyone ever talk about anything out of game? The forum feels a bit intense. Lots of people arguing over whether Archons are the new Divine Champions or something. How are we all? Good? _________________

But seriously I think most of us who are left just hang out on IRC too much for our own good. Anywho, I'm doing alright. Moving into a new apartment tomorrow.

My daughter turns 3 months old today. First child. Life's good.
Oh... sorry...
JackTheRipper casts a fearful glance Excel's way, then exclaims loudly: I FIND THE POWER LEVELS OF CROSS-TRAINED ARCHONS TO BE COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! THAT IS WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT. _________________ Jack T. Ripper

I can no longer convince my niece that "everything is a hat." She's become so conformist since she started attending that school of hers. Darn schools.
You don't understand, Masumi. If Archon's are too powerful, it's literally the end of the game world. That's just science.
In this thread we now discuss how this game sucks because Archons are overpowered and also how can we destroy the game-disrupting free skills _________________ IF WE LOOK AT ROME AND SEE OUR HOME, THE END IS ON ITS WAY
The NCAA Tourney is screwing up my carefully constructed* brackets!
* And by "carefully constructed," I mean I did the same thing I did every year for the past decade now... Roll a d20 for each team, subtract that team's seed, higher result wins. Everybody's got a dumb method, there's mine.

Oh, much the same, thanks. I will get back into IRC again, once I remember how to work mIRC. I've changed computers and it doesn't do all of the auto-setup any more so I have to try and find which server I want and all of that malarkey.

'lo Masumi.
Hope all's well.

Congratulations, Jack! I hope she is a joy to you. I know she will be. Once you get past the sleep deprivation...
I've been enjoying living on my own for a couple of years, doing my own thing. Stupidly busy at work, but the money has been good. But feeling a bit of a hankering recently for the days when I spent entirely too much time playing NW and trying to moderate forums and the like. Maybe Jrom's annoucement of StellaVitae helped kick my gaming bug back to life, but I'm defintely enjoying Nexus Clash. But heck - I even found myself re-reading the Shintolin forums earlier this evening. Wow, golden days, eh? I still can't get over Grugg turning villages into campfires and eating his own fists. Poor Issac; he never quite knew what had hit him.

Sorry, Bob, but I have no idea what this post is about. According to the Evil Google Empire, NCAA is something to do with basketball?
I don't know, maybe I just wanted to ask some Americans how bizarre they think Rick Santorum is (I just got back from Oklahoma and boy were they all agog for him there). It's like the Republican Party is a cult or something now. If you can't sign up to overturning Roe vs Wade, preventing gays from getting hitched and nuking Iran then you are a MODERATE! _________________

Masumi! Hi! I'm good. Busy with work. Haven't been on IRC much lately, too much of a time sink and I mostly don't have that much time. I have no idea about Archons. Bits of whatchamacallits in them, Advocates, right? Never had an Advocate. Or an Archon. One of these days, maybe. Probably after they're nerfed into terrible terribleness, or at least I fully plan to use that as my excuse for my terrible terribleness at it.

Jack! Wow, congrats, that's awesome.

He's incredibly bizarre. My younger brother was in college out in Pennsylvania while Santorum was a senator out there and has all sorts of hatred for the guy (my brother also happens to be gay, so you can imagine why he's not a big fan).
Me, I find it stunning that someone can go from losing their campaign as an incumbent senator (seriously, incumbent senators hardly ever lose...and Santorum managed to lose by close to 20% or something ridiculous like that IIRC) to being a serious contender for President. It's like getting called up to the major leagues because you had the worst, losing-est minor league season ever. Just makes no sense, as a career arc. But I dunno. I gotta expect the GOP's headed for a meltdown of some sort...just too much crazy in it these days.

Yes, putting random stuff on your head is comedy gold for the preschool set! Why? Because it's damn funny is why.
Also, Masumi: Rick Santorum represents the dark id of the Republican soul. Now that the economy is doing better, the Republicans can't rally around that issue (and hence, Romney) as much. So instead let the culture wars begin anew! Santorum will ban pornography and contraception and put the gays back where they belong! Yaaaaay!
I mean you see him using Word of Retard all the time, wait he isn't smart enough for that word to apply to him I really don't know what to say!
On a more serious note I think all democracies should take up the mechanics of the Australian electoral system, compulsory preferences based voting. I think it breeds a duller more boring breed of politician. Oh and donkey voters, people forced to vote who just rank the preferences by the numerical order of who is on the ballot. They are so great I love donkey voters.
Congrats, Jack. I'm six months behind you, with my pending son, and first munchkin. Started fairly late in the vast scheme of things, but that's life. Prepping the house, sorting stuff and spending a lot of money, but that's life also.
Just about to have my current contract end, so now scouring the market for change management jobs and hoping people stop saying the words global financial crisis and all get a grip. Slightly nervous about that in the current personal pending situation.
Just ran the DnD Lair Assault for a friend's birthday party, and it was suitably epic. They were in the last available round before Azmodeus was about to show up, half the party were dropped and in lava, making death saves, and the last two people standing were a berserker on his very last legs, and an infernal warlock. On the last initiative before the dark lord awakened, the warlock blasted the high priest into oblivion.
And you know, I was just thinking how groovy it is to see so many awesome Nexal Warriors back recently. Masumi, Hungerer, Toben, and everybody else... wow! Hi!
Congratulations to all on the babies front, go you!
Life here is pretty good. New job, and it's a lot of fun, back to doing software, in this case the software stack in a really exciting enterprise storage product (exciting and storage, two words I never thought would go together, but there you go).
For those feeling apprehensive about jobs and such, at least anecdotally in Bay Area software-ish circles, it's back to the good times. So that's one happy data point. There's doom and gloom here and there, e.g., sucks to be in Blizzard operations right now, and Cisco obliterated many jobs in the traditional "we're really good at X, so let's try doing Y, because we will surely be good at that too" floundering that all these monsters go through. Been there, done that, got the commemorative glassware from both Intel and Cisco now.
So hooray. I'm pushing electrons around and loving it, my health seems to be doing fine, which is novel and exciting, and an agent asked for two full manuscripts from my wife, so that's exciting and stressful, but good.
