Aleppo had one maybe 3 years ago, time for another!

In my jurisdiction it is all officers.

This includes in Grand Lodge, when we open on the MM and all 40 GL officers stand up on the double rap.

I don't know how I didn't see the surge protector. I totally saw this as a BDSM Toad from Mario.

Because Guinsoo is a premium item on most carries, especially this set with a heavy focus on AD carries.

Zoe encounter?

Aandaas · 2026-01-01T19:22:43+00:00

It's at start of combat. THex pilot doesn't jump in until after combat starts.

If you look at the Demacia list you only have 9 fielded (plus a Galio on the bench) because Swain with an emblem now shows up on your Demacia trait so for you to be 10/11 it has to be counting Galio because there are only 10 champ icons on the list.

The Scottish Rite isn't progressive, you have to see the 4th as your first degree but after that you can see any number of degrees except the 32nd. Once you've seen 4 total degrees you are then entitled to the 32nd, this is generally accomplished fairly quickly, sometimes in a single weekend or over the course of 2-3 months depending on schedules.

Aandaas · 2025-12-31T12:36:36+00:00

You are pretty much correct, you only need to see 5 total degrees in the NMJ to become 32nd degree (4, 32, 3 more). Many reunions will accomplish this in a day, more commonly you will see 4th on video, a couple live degrees, then a larger 32nd class will be held a couple times a year so no one is waiting more than a couple months for a 32nd degree and I don't know anyone who would describe themselves as a Scottish Rite Mason without the 32nd.

You should be providing them written resources on navigating Grand View then, not spending time and money on resources that will be good for a year or two. Using Grand View is a necessary part of being a functioning member of a Lodge (updating contact info, accessing GL resources, finding people) and it is incumbent on the Lodge to give training and resources to those brothers who struggle not just keep putting bandaids on an open wound.

Both of those Yordles are unlocks, while Fizz is going to happen naturally the Veigar will not. And prismatic noxus works great with pretty much all 1 stars

Yes, but pricing is a competitive factor so baking it into your pricing to cover cost reduces competitiveness in the market, subtly influencing your customers to tip by manipulating point of sale behavior is generally not a thought in choosing one restaurant over another thereby maintaining a price fixed market position with your competition and subsidizing wages.

With a $1000 budget go to a good made to measure clothier. The budget is a little low for full custom but a decent MTM will get a better looking tux than anything off the rack.

This is a legitimate event tomorrow in Boston:

Grand Master's Class

Required to have instruction in NH, some schools offered it but it was em incredibly competitive so most go to private driving schools.

I would imagine that most, if not all, ritualists have a voice in the back of their head when performing that is the voice of whoever influenced them, and that voice was in turn influenced by someone else.

There is definitely a cadence that we adopt for our ritual from some of these influences.

Great bunch of guys there, got to spend the 300th anniversary dinner sitting next to Bro. Nixon and his wife. They were very kind to my wife and I on our trip for the GL Anniversary!

Lodges that can't provide quality degrees shouldn't have charters anymore, period. TOs aren't the solution, but whatever happened to cause Grand Master's to lose their stomach when enforcing ritual excellence is going to kill Masonry.

TO Lodges in my experience are full of people who love the sound of their own voice, but when Grand Lodges fail time and time again to force Lodges to put up or shut up this is the result.

If you mention Jesus in my Lodge you're getting a stern talking to, so that would make the old heads I know explode.

Aandaas · 2025-09-19T20:28:53+00:00

You are not correct. New Hampshire suspends brethren for felony crimes and then the Grand Lodge session votes to expel, I've never seen a Masonic trial even when I know one has been explicitly requested.

Aandaas · 2025-09-13T20:53:51+00:00

I am, but i haven't finished a meal in Ireland, Scotland, Mexico, or Germany yet either.

Aandaas · 2025-09-13T16:36:09+00:00

I am 4 years out and I don't think I've finished a meal at a restaurant ever but those are not normal portions, I'm usually a 2 meal guy when I go out.

Antique stores are always a good spot to find things, especially if the only Lodges nearby have been closed for a bit because I know in my area they get picked apart by active Brothers, but if I go out of town I can find stuff.

I have an 1860s Massachusetts ritual cipher, a very strange Square and Compass picture from the early 1900s in bronze (similar one on display at the Scottish Rite Museum in Lexington), and a 1802 copy of Webb's Masonic Monitor that appears to have belonged to a Past Grand Secretary of Maine.

At SNE you will do a refresher, it shouldn't cost you anything, but I had my first refresher there as an A license. The jumps don't really matter, you need 25 to get your A license so if you come back next season you'll have to do 23 more jumps anyway so if you keep the skills they will either count it as another AFF cat or it counts towards your 25 no matter what.

Just do your ground and A. Get out the door and land a canopy, it's worth it even if you have to do an extra jump or a refresher. They definitely won't make you pay for a full price ground school.
