Behind the Scenes - November 2013
After hearing this for close to eight years, I'm sick of it. If I'm lazy now, it's because someone has been moving the goal posts whenever I came close to reaching them, and I just don't want to bother anymore. Get decent (for the time) moneymaking skills? Here's GWD. Get the stats for that? Here are extremes, curses, and Nex. Started getting 70s? The goal is now 99. Got a few 99s? You have to max. I'm imagining that if I ever maxed, they'd increase the cap to 120 the very next day. I've even started to get close to ports armor, except that now there's T90 power armor that's better in every way, and I got soul split the day after they nerfed it. So tell me, how long until I can stop grinding and start playing? I think I've spent my entire career as a mid- to upper-mid level player, and I'm expected to be glad that they're now openly widening the gap between the top of the high scores and everyone else (If not blatantly fighting attempts to close it). It's not even about levels anymore, it's about blatant pandering, and I feel like this community is so out of touch that they have no idea what it looks like to someone who isn't up there: while everyone else is playing with their new toys, I'm stuck with things that haven't been updated since their release. Feel free to ignore this like you've all done with everyone else who's tried to tackle the same issue. For what it's worth, I've had very little 'handed to me'. Perhaps that's why this is such a thing for me - I usually hear this from people who get things handed to them on a regular basis, whether it's donations to help them get back on their feet after a loss/return or just being lucky at the right time. Or I can leave and let you guys think that this sort of thing is alright. I'm probably one of the last people that's openly against it, so... Whichever you prefer. :-P

Usually rollbacks happen to people who have audience with J-Mods. Most of the time, the perps get away with it. *insert rant about how these people tend to get more support than the moderator community*

The 'You're Banned' Game (over 38,000 banned!)
Banned because there is no winning or losing, unless the game has a clear end goal. If nobody posts after you, the game dies because nobody wanted to post anymore, not that nobody can post after you.

The Time Machine
Granted. You end up in Europe and are executed as a witch, because you appeared in a big flash of light on a clear day, in the middle of a populated city, and then started playing music through portable speakers. I travel three weeks into the future.

Alg Plays: Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal 8 - spooooky Halloween edition!
OoooOOOOoOOoooo! IN THIS PART: I use some pot, encounter the WATER ARMY, and gain a budge that may or may not actually exist. And also get to be about halfway through the gyms. That's something, right? As the title suggests, this part is going to be scarier than the others. There will be ghosts. There will be monsters. There will be monks. Be wary. Dead men tell no tales. [spoiler=Here there be ghosts] Moving trees. Yep. Must be the wind. Definitely the wind. Okay it's not the wind. Luckily, I came prepared! Before heading into these dark, obviously haunted woods, I consulted a guide on how to survive a horror movie! ...Of course, the fact that I'm a young girl who's alone in these obviously haunted woods means I'm already guaranteed to die, but maybe I can salvage the situation. I just need to refrain from checking any strange noises or having sex in the middle of nowhere, and I'll be home free! Maybe this girl can help! If we work together, we can- -Get so high that we don't really care about the monsters anymore! Brilliant! So we went to see her sister. We asked for pot. We did not get pot. Tell me when this stops being funny, I kind of feel obliged to post it once an episode. Anyway, back to the tree: Here goes... Something? And it attacks at a brisk pace. ...These are some crazy drugs. It's almost enough for this game to make sense. Anyway, a bit later, this happened. Then this, That one is Ariados in both English and Japanese. I'm genuinely surprised that they almost got it. Now I've made it through the obviously haunted woods, and have reached an obviously haunted city. So I'm going to back track a bit. I regret everything. The game continues to provide double entendre after double entendre as temptations, BUT I REMAIN FIRM By which I mean I said "Hell yes!" and got an eevee Not an Eevee. Nevermind. Anyway, time for the plot. This looks like a job for a PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR! Sadly there's just me. Hey it's that guy! The guy whose name I forgot! That stalker whose name I forgot! And I'm alone and trapped in an abandoned, burned building with him! And the monster is hunting for me, specifically! You thought I was joking about all of the horror movie stuff, didn't you? Oh good, we're fighting. If it was the opposite, we would have been easy prey for the monster. SICIB now has an attack called EDU! I bet it's like Education! He's going to teach his enemies! I can't wait for an excuse to use this! SICIB basically soloed this thing. DELAN (Whose name did not stick) cleaned up because I wanted someone else to get precious experience points. Oh good, we're safe Oh god, we split up. I woke up here. There were ghosts. There were monsters. There were madmen. In spite of it all, there was hope. hope that I crushed, for now I know my destiny And I learned that the being I thought was a monster... was God. [spoiler=Next time... On Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal] I DANCE BEAUTIFULLY

Banned for leading four teenage warriors in a quest to gather the Seven Keystones for the final battle in King Incompeténtio's floating black castle. Because you're wearing red and everyone knows that red is heroic.

So I just looked through the wiki after not having played Minecraft in a while... And found that they added Stained glass. Excuse me while I get addicted again.
