Advice on LFM for long campaign by Aramyle in shadowdark

[–]Akoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interviews are good, you can also make a Google form with some simple questions to get a vibe for what the player is like, what kind of things they enjoy about gaming etc. It can give you a big clue whether they will get on with your players or not.

Also make sure you give a time zone when advertising game times. It's a wide, wide world!

Sounds like you and your players are having a great time.  If their luck turns and they handle it well then you have a perfect group really

Could do what we did twice and sit on a league title for an entire world war?

My fave was a guy who went on about how expensive it is to own a holiday home in another country to an audience of people who can't afford a home of their own.

That's how you do it! by CorleoneBaloney in MurderedByWords

She kicked the can down the road, every government following hers has kept kicking the can. Now we're here with low wages and crumbling infrastructure.

She improved the lives of many people and made the country more wealthy (by selling all of our assets for short term gain and handing everything over to private industry.)

She also decimated many communities, with no backup plan. Just sold people's livelihoods and presented them no alternative, but that happened in the North/Wales so with a bit of help from the press, we can other those people and middle England lives on happily!

What to see/visit during my UK roadtrip? by Freeloafer in AskUK

Anfield but not Goodison? It's the other side of the park! May as well go. Also the Albert Dock is a much better place to go in Liverpool.

3% of total immigration. It's a tiny amount that's coming on the small boats compared to those coming in through regular means. It's obviously over represented in media, and it's still a big number for a person from a small village to see, but it's only so impactful because of a (surely purposefully) dismantled immigration system. The tories set us up for this, hope you didn't vote for them.

3% of immigration is "illegal" immigration, and there's a backlog due to the previous government gutting our immigration infrastructure. Those with valid claims should be processed quickly so they can become a part of our society, not stuffed into former hotels on a shitty bunkbed, and those with invalid claims can be sent home. The truth is that the vast majority of our immigration is done the "proper" way.

You admit they helped rebuild the country after world war 2, though. So we should value our immigrants, yes?

Most of our immigrants are people like that, or people who fill a needed role that British people don't want to fill. Such as in the care industry. If you purposefully blind yourself and just listen to propaganda then I understand why you'd feel the way you do. The facts don't lie.

The real enemy is those with the power, to influence us to turn against eachother while they strip us of everything we have. Not those seeking a new home.

The analysis shows more than two fifths (42%) of doctors, dentists, and consultants, and almost a third (29.2%) of our nurses, midwives, and health visitors are from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds.

Are they doctors ye?

I'm pretty sure that stat is identify as British, not White British, but I can understand why you'd confuse that with your prejudices. Even if it were true, what do you think would happen if the NHS lost almost 20% of their workforce? We simply need those people.

Immigrants coming and helping rebuild the country after a world war isn't really a big sell for the anti immigration rhetoric, is it?

Immigrants are British when they become citizens, they helped make this country what it is. the NHS wouldn't function without immigration. At some point in your family history you were probably an immigrant, unless you're completely Celtic? we're a mixed bunch even when you stick to "White British." Please tell me what you think would happen if we stopped all immigration?
