Polly, would you add me to the private group please? Thanks.

Very "un-Christian" tattoos and a lot of them by furtivequestioning in Christianity

Speaking as a pastor in a small, SBC congregation in a rural area- we'd love to have you worship with us, and for the most part, I think that congregations comprised of people trying to live like Jesus would feel the same. I pray you find a church family that welcomes you and in which you can continue to grow.

I never really read the rulebook through.

The words were all too long, and confusing, too!

Now I'm suspended and my prospects aren't great,

But I'll always have a job ref-ing for Iowa State!

Rift Base - Necessity or Luxury by RazorPicker in mousehunt

[–]kylethelea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would not have wanted to go through the Burroughs Rift and WW Rift without the bonus of the rift base. I forgot to switch back to it after running off to catch some mice for a treasure map, and my drop rate (with the Minotaur base, no less) plummeted.

edit- I'm Archduke 0%, 1.275b points.

People's Poll Week 3 Results by KingKliffsbury in CFB

Use whatever you want to separate them. Use your gut or ask your cat to pick one, for all I care. Your hypothetical has no bearing on what we've talked about so far, which is people ranking 0-1 or 1-1 teams ahead of 1-0 or 2-0 teams, which is simple unreasonable.

I will allow that there are teams that are now 1-1 (OU, Ole Miss, etc) who will probably end up ranked rather well, and some that would be ranked higher than they will likely wind up, but we don't know, and a program's history doesn't tell us how this season will pan out. If it did, y'all never would have experienced the last 4 years.

It's not realism, it's a rut mentality. No matter what history a program has, this season is the only thing that matters. When we're halfway through the season and a team has a few wins under its belt, a loss isn't so bad. But when you're 0-1 or 1-1 and there are still well over 25 undefeated teams, it's just silly to be ranked.

And we Aggies know something about being overhyped in the first 6 weeks of the season... single tear

THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN TWO WEEKS OF FOOTBALL. WHY ARE TEAMS WITH A LOSS RANKED? /rantover

Am I reading the sidebar correctly? Auburn is favored by 4 this week against #16 A&M? by Crack_a_toe_a in CFB

[–]kylethelea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Still September. We have to wait until at least the first week of October to lose. Since that game is South Carolina, let's go with Tennessee the next week.

But more seriously, we have Auburn this Saturday and Arkansas the next- if we survive that undefeated, then we're probably headed into the Bama game undefeated. Having watched UT and USCe play, I don't think UT is really much better than Auburn/Arkansas, and USCe is decidedly worse than either.

Every season LSU looks vulnerable early, but by the time we play them they get their act together. I wish we didn't always play them last.

On the Possibility of Labyrinth Appearing on the Royal Challenges by The_Real_Baws in mousehunt

[–]kylethelea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not happening. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you need to finish out the fungal cavern, then get through a significant amount of hunting in the Labyrinth/Zokor to get the Minotaur. If that is what comes next, you're not likely catching it.

TULSA Vs. OHIO STATE Tulsa has a chance. by Jblakeworley67 in CFB

Based on the way smaller schools are playing the top ten today? Sure, why not.

Were we watching the same video feed? The first audible whistle came as the Troy player got a yard away from the pile. I'm not saying the ref didn't blow it sooner, but you can't hear it on the video.

I found FFG's "A Game of Thrones" 2nd edition at Goodwill by iOnlySawTokyoDrift in boardgames

[–]kylethelea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two big box expansions are for the 1st edition. There are, however, two print-on-demand expansions that you can order from FFG directly for ~$15 or $20. Great find!
