    Your Island Kingdom

    I set up a computer in my hut, find a way to power it, and run a game of Dwarf Fortress. My successes and failures in the simulation will form the foundation of our new city. I figure most deserted islands have a good magma pit so I should be able to get a badass albeit unsafe system of central...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Yay! The first deadline I've actually kept! The initial shock of the world's worst air show still held the group in its grasp as the soldiers advanced towards the ship. The banner carrier stumbled, letting the flag touch the slick ice. A loud crack was heard as an officer drew his pistol and...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Really sorry for the dead spot. School work's gone through the roof. Here's just a little something the keep things going. I hope to have a murder up by Tuesday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silvered shapes roared across the sky, propellers...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Galt cupped his hands to his mouth, desperately trying to keep his breakfast under control. "Uh...ehp...Let's just put 'im out on the ice...Get a sheet over him at least, I can't take looking at this any longer."

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Alright, the first murder's finally up. Now on this one I'm going to give you guys the option of whether or not to lynch since you don't have too many clues. If the majority of you don't vote at all, I'll just keep the story moving without a lynch until the next murder...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Sorry for my absence, it's been one hell of a week for me. Routine since Monday's been get home from school, putter around town getting hours for my driver's test, and spend 3-4 hours working on school projects, and then passing out whenever I try to write something up. If I can I'll get...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Turning from the communications officer, Galt decided he'd take a stroll down below deck, after all, he was supposed to be supervising things out here wasn't he? He found the computer lab door ajar and let himself in. He noticed blood dripping from Killion's hand. "Ha-ha, welcome to the...

    Article: Choices in Gaming

    Thought provoking text wall is thought provoking. I see what you mean with the inherent flaws of the good-evil slider system. However, on the matter of Fallout 3, I figured since there was a large civilian population that wasn't in KILL! MAIM! BURN! mode, that the morality of your decisions...

    Governments and extortion.

    If crime syndicates built your roads, cleaned your sewers, protected you from other crime syndicates, ran your schools, buses, and trains, then yeah it would be similar to what the Mob does. Damn, I'm an Objectivist and I don't ***** like that. For Christ sakes, pay your taxes and get over...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Alright, here's the kickoff! On the ice, a hulking metal ship thundered along its course, crawling slowly up onto the surface, slipping its stubby metal chin along, only to bring it crashing down back into the water. Like a hellish Pacman, this beast chomped down endlessly on the thick shell...

    Galt's Back With A Lyncher!

    Alright, I'll have the start up sometime tomorrow. Bet on later in the evening EST, because I've got a full day of mounting sensors and badgering engineers to look forward to. Anyways, beloved veterans of my prior RPs can consider yourselves added to the roster(I was worried we wouldn't get a...

    This is an inauguration...not a superbowl.

    Still grumpy...Now he's just throwing more fuel for the fires of discontent. GRUMP FOR THE GRUMP GOD! PESSIMISM FOR THE HALF-EMPTY THRONE!

    Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!

    This is an inauguration...not a superbowl.

    I never said that I was one of those he should worry about, I just said that there are people who are going to take a cynical look at this. Whether or not he chooses to focus his godlike attention on those who don't approve of this sort of spectacle is his own choice. I just don't approve of it.

    Poll: Sleep Paralysis

    I got a case of SP once. At first it felt like a vivid dream, but then the dream faded back into my room, at which point I hallucinated myself a spooktacular boogeyman(I remember thinking he was a Palestinian for some reason) and tried to move my head away but couldn't. Once I regained mobility...
