    Mahri Plight

    By Crimson Jester,

    Gah. The Lego Company can be quite a pain at times. First, they say the Mahri will be in Canadian stores by July 20th. Now its been postponed for another month! Why us? Why the Canadians? *grumbling*
     
    Feel free to post your thoughts.

    As of late, I've been working on a rather massive new CoT RPG project, based around the console RPG 'Mass Effect'. Being a rather expansive game, with many paths to choose, and many things to discover. Thus, I'm asking you, the BZPower community, to aid me in making this project one for the books. Comment, or PM me, for details.

    So, since it's been a while, I figure I'd take a break from blogging my lyrics (since nobody bothers critiquing them anyhow :\), and give you guys a little life update.
     
    First off, general life garbage: I moved at the end of the summer. Bigger town, stupid rich kids, but still nothing to do. Lots of gorgeous babes, though. That's a definite upside to Wetaskiwin.
     
    Got a job, as well. Actually, two. First of all, I'm now Chief Survival Instructor of my new Cadet squadron. This job has me in charge of primary survival instruction duties, planning survival exercises, and doing any other survival-related work at the squadron. Essentially, I am amazing at survival.
     
    And, as for the second job, I'm now working at a Canadian chain, similar to RadioShack, called the Source. Basically, I sell TVs, video games, and electronic stuff the odd time that people are actually in the store. Otherwise, I just practice my screaming, listen to metal, and jam on Guitar Hero with my co-workers. For $10.50 an hour, I can't at all complain. And plus, since I work in the mall, there's an Edo Japan within feasible distance.
     
    Otherwise, I've basically been finishing up school, planning out my military career (I'm enlisting next summer), practicing guitar, and working out. All the cool, metal stuff that I normally do.
     
    Oh. And don't forget to go critique my lyrics.

    Messiah(bolical)

    By Crimson Jester,

    I want no one to escape
    Gripping tight the sickle-blade
    Swing to seal your fate
    All is lost
     
    No warning to my approach
    On your life I will encroach
    As the blood pours from your throat
    Release your soul
     
    Don't judge me for what I do
    Messiah, I'm saving you
    Freedom from your tortured shell
    Abandon the rest, earthly ######
     
    Come to meet the hangman's noose
    Draws you to the gallows, seduced
    Death will find you better use
    Come to me
     
    Do not be ashamed at your demise
    For in your death you will find
    I am the one who's truly kind
    I'll take you home
     
    Don't judge me for what I do
    Messiah, I'm saving you
    Freedom from your tortured shell
    Abandon the rest, earthly ######
     
    All is lost
    Release your soul
    Come to me
    I'll take you home
     
    Come to me
    Release your soul
    All is lost
    You can't go home

    Yes, yes. It's been a while. But dun shoot me. I've been busy. Let's see what I have(n't) accomplished since I last blogged:
     
    -I managed to skin my foot, damage my ankle, cut an artery twice, and nearly concuss myself.
    -I got 100% on a description of the Somalia conflict by writing out the Black Hawk Down script in point form.
    -I collaborated on a new RPG, that could even be up in the RPG Contest 12 Submissions topic by tomorrow.
    -I learned to play a few songs on my guitar.
    -And, I survived the second-last week of school before Christmas Break, without just breaking down and faking sick.
     
    It's definitely be an overall interesting week, if I dare say so myself.
     
    Let's see what's on CJ's plate currently:
     
    -Christmas: I am so bloody pumped for Christmas, you can't even imagine. Aside from getting an Removed of sweet presents, I get to hang out with my long-lost cousin, do some ski-dooing, go to a party or two, visit my family, and just generally enjoy myself. My Christmas starts early this year, with Break beginning on the 19th, and an early Christmas present opening with some family on the 20th. Following, I'm going to the acreage until Christmas day, then back to my grandparents until Boxing Day, then back to the acreage until sometime close to New Years. On top of all that sweet stuff, I'll get to spend some time with that one special girl, which is pretty Removed. Do not bypass the filter. -Kohaku.
     
    -RPG Contest 12: As most of you aren't aware, myself, along with Koname and Rehz, have a new RPG basically ready for RPG Contest 12. We've been working the past little while to perfect it, and I have to say, I personally am quite proud of what we've pulled off. I won't divulge any details to you guys yet, so just look for Rehzzie posting it in the RPG Contest 12 Submission topic hopefully soon.
     
    -Other RPing: As well, with the help of Hak, I've created a new CoT RPG, in the wake of a failed Shattered Earth, entitled 'Terminal Point'. The premise is a Resource War between the United States and Communist China over the last remaining drops of oil in Europe. Be sure to check that one out once Toaraga has approved it.
     
    -Guitar: I had a recent relapse in guitar, and hadn't played for a few weeks, sadly. As of the last few days, I've been making special care to get as much practice as I can for the holidays, so I can A) impress that aforementioned chick () and B) jam out with my cousin on early Christmas. Recently, I've been playing Disturbed's Remember, and Just Stop, along with Metallica's Seek and Destroy.
     
    Well, I believe that's about all I have to say at this point. So:
     
    Until next time, BZP.
     
    CJ.

    Good afternoon, Vault Dwellers.
     
    It is currently 13.30h at The Vault, apparently the power-hour of brainstorming activity. Outside the security door, the sun is peeping through a blanket of thick, gray clouds, and the air is mighty warm.
     
    But, petty weather is not why I'm broadcasting this message. 'cause, heck, weather doesn't even affect us in the oh-so-glorious Vault. The true reason I'm sending this message, is to inform all you wonderful Vault citizens of some updates.
     
    First off, the Weekly Guest Column feature is turning out good so far. I've had numerous people sending me in great columns. Don't fret, though: you still have until tomorrow at 10.00h Mountain Time to have your entries in!
     
    Secondly, the other feature announced yesterday, the Vault Dwellers' Society, is soon to be in full-swing. I'm just finalizing a few of it's features; expect to see that up in a few days. And remember, citizens, you can start sending your applications for the VDS, so get 'em in!
     
    And finally, I have another new feature to announce: the Weekly Interview Spotlight! Once a week, I'll select a topic, review the week's applications for interviewees, and select one lucky winner to be interviewed on the chosen topic! Feedback and applications are much appreciated!
     
    With all that said and done, I must leave; apparently a few Radroaches got in the reactor shaft, and must be dealt with.
     
    Until next time BZP,
     
    CJ.
  11. Crimson Jester
    RPG Masters' Guild
     
    What is this?
     
    This is a group of Role Players who have experience and knowledge behind how these games work. Currently there are three members to this group; Robo, Crimson Jester, and Spink. The two on the ends (Robo and Spink) Have been known to help out with a few RPGs and get questions related to RPG Help to them, and for Crimson Jester (CJ), he has knowledge in many of the aspects and has experience from running several of his own, as well as writing up several.
     
    We are here to help with other people with Role Playing in general, from IC structure, or just questions out of the blue on Role Playing Games that are Text Based, we are around to offer our help to those who want it. We do not consider ourselves the "Best" but are the three willing to answer these questions and help out with possible new RPGs. Since two are Judges for RPGs in COT, they generally know what will and what won't get by, so help from them is probably a good thing. CJ knows what he talks about, and knows how to structure and create an RPG, as well as play in them.
     
    We are here to help, nothing more, nothing less.
     
    We call ourselves the "RPG Masters' Guild" because we are a group of people who know what we're talking about and what we're doing, and have put ourselves in the group to help. The name isn't to give a "We're better than everyone demeanor" but just a fancy titles that sounds good.
     
    There is not much else to say, that relates to this group, but this;
     
    Robo - Basically the guy in the head of it, since the idea was generally his.
    Crimson Jester - Robo's right hand man and second to know of this, and has graciously put this in his blog.
    Spink - The Freshman of the group, he's the one who wrote up what you are reading, and so actually *GASP* DOES STUFF.
     
    All three are open to any and all questions you may have regarding the TBRPG business.

    This, Vault citizens, is the future of the Vault for years to come. Ladies and gentlemen, what you see above you, is the beginning of a rich, exciting, and expansive Vault.
     
    As the Overseer of Vault 16, it is my duty, and goal, to give Vault citizens the best experience possible. From the unique blog entries, to the great Photoshopping, thanks to both Hak and Nayaks. But, despite all this, the Vault is not near complete. It needs expansion. It needs substance. And that is where you, Vault citizens, come into play. I need your ideas and suggestions. Use your brain, and imagination (because I don't want to use mine), and let me know what additions you think would be good for the Vault!
     
    Since I've covered most of today's ranting in my prior post, I'll leave you with some lyrics:
     
    Undying - Demon Hunter
     
    Ever since the day that I was made I've been deciding the end
    And I was made of wood and stone and won't diminish or bend
    So when the heavy hand of death is here to take me away
    I'll be the solid grip of time, forever holding my stay
    Nobody ever made a force that took a beating like me
    I call the earth and every scum to come and try to fight me
    Cause when I made the choice to live beyond the dirt that we tread
    I felt the curse of mortal limit fall before it was said
     
    [Pre-chorus:]
    When this season ends
     
    [Chorus:]
    One final heart-break
    And blinding lights will guide our way
    Free us our blind state
    They will call us by our name
    Undying
     
    Tearing through these days I find
    The tolerance to strive and push on
    I know what lies beyond this life for me is already won
    No one can take away the blood that covers over my fall
    Without the blood of perfect life
    I know I'm nothing at all
    So now I reign forever hallowed in eternity's hand
    No man can shake me from the everlasting ground that I stand
     
    [Pre-chorus]
     
    [Chorus]
     
    We are the ones who will still remain when all is laid to waste
    We are the ones who, when angels cry, will see them face to face
    We are the ones
     
    [Chorus]
     
    If you'd like me to relentlessly, destructively rant about a topic, feel free to let me know!
     
    Until next time BZP,
     
    CJ.

    New Rpg

    By Crimson Jester,

    17th August, 1948
     
    It'll be five years next month. Five long, bloody years we've been in this
     
    Five is a pretty small number, contrasted to the rest of those associated with this. Thirty cities in ruins. Ninety-one ships sunk. One hundred seventy-eight planes downed. Three hundred one thousand, six hundred fifty-six men MIA. More than double that KIA. And by tomorrow, I'll be back here, writing again, scribbling out those numbers, and replacing them with the new tallies.
     
    My division has been in the jungles for fifty-one days now. Well, at least what's left of the jungles. What once was revered as being a place of beauty and solace, has now become its' bitter foil. Trees and other plant life crushed and burned lines the jungle floor, speckled with the occasional human or animal corpse, in various conditions. It really goes to show how bitter our race has become.
     
    I've gotten used to the smell of bodies, at least. There's some who still haven't, and boy do I feel sorry for them. Almost every day I see a group of them off in the bushes, puking their guts out. There's been lot of mental breakdowns, too. Almost every day the companies have to send men back to the psych ward at Fort Grey. Makes you feel lucky.
     
    Speaking of lucky, we lost another platoon last night. They were out on a night raid, about 2km south-east, at a UE encampment. We lost radio contact with them at around 2345h, and found their bodies, along with an empty camp, this afternoon. May they rest in peace.
     
    Anyways, it's getting real close to dinner time, and I think we get those fancy MRE's with the meatloaf tonight. I'll try and write tomorrow.

    Break Point 
    Since the dawn of time, mankind has known no other home but the tiny, sea-dominated planet known as Aven. Although nothing near the legendary, fictitious human home planet known as 'Earth', humanity has developed in a virtually identical manner as that in the tale.
     
    As time passed, through bitter conflict, and political dominancy, Aven divided itself into six independent nations: the Republic of Dayson, the United Empire, Falkland, Byzantia, Kyrin, and Korr. The nations co-existed quite peacefully, confining conflict to their rightful waters, and generally avoiding each others' affairs.
     
    Shift forward to six years ago: November 5th, 1939. The ever-suspicious United Empire got greedy. Their sweep was fast, and powerful. The Invasion was not unlike a sucker punch, lightning fast, and originating from seemingly nowhere. Aven was hit hard, and within three years, all but the secluded nation of Korr had fallen to the United Empire's iron grip.
     
    The captured nations plead with Korr to act, and repel the UE, but they would have none of it. At least until the war hit home. On May 20th, 1943, four-and-a-half years after the United Empire began to sweep Aven, they invaded, pummeling the naval bases on the North Bay, and eventually invading. Within a month, the entire north shoreline had fallen.
     
    Now, five years later, the war still rages on. Back and forth, with no clear victor the forces of the UE and Korr battle.
     
    Will you commit to you national duty, and enlist in the Korr Armed Forces? Or will you pick up a rifle for the United Empire, and crush Korr once and for all?
     
     
    The war is in your hands, recruit.

    1. Factions:
    Korr Armed Forces: The legendary military of the secluded nation of Korr. The KAF is divided into three branches: Army, Navy, and Army Air. Upon enlistment, you will be given the rank of Private, and shipped to the jungles in the northwest.
     
    The United Empire: Equally powerful to the KAF, the UE is a battle-worn, malice-fed force that has seen nine years of combat in five nations. Upon enlistment, you will be given the rank of Private and shipped to Korr's northwest jungles.
     
    a. Navy
    Boats are considered an award in their own right, given for missions or as a reward of service. Boats range from small patrol poats, to wooden river gunboats and torpedo boats, to even U-boats. ((For game mechanical purposes, nothing larger is permitted because of the lack of RPing that would be in it. It could not be operated very well unless there were several players on it and working together, while something like a PT boat could be handled by one or two players and a few temporary NPCs.))
     
    Boats:
    -Harbour Defence Motor Launch
    -Motor Gun Boat
    -Motor Torpedo Boat
    -Moa class patrol boat
    -Fremantle patrol boat
     
    Submarines:
    -Type U 31
    -Type U 51
     
    More boats may be added later on, however I think there's plenty to go around as is.
     
    Also, there is a limited number of harbor ships which are used to carry patrol and river boats across the sea, or else they would get swamped with waves or caught in storms. This is to make invasion possible. They are used only when needed, authorized by naval command and not capable of being commanded by players.
     
    Custom factions may start with small navies.
     
    2. Locations:
    Aven Map
    Korr: Korr is quite unique compared to the other nations of Aven. For one, the country consists of a single, large continent. Secondly, the regions of Korr greatly vary: A mountain range dominates the north-west; the jungles engulf the east; and plains cover the central region. The climate on Korr varies by region, with the jungles generally being warm and humid, the plains being cool and dry, and the mountains, cold and harsh. Korr is a very militaristic democratic nation, and has one major metropolitan center: its' capital, Korruhnai. Korruhnai is a large city, overlooking the Great Lake. It is considered one of the most contemporary, beautiful cities on Aven.
     
    Kyrin: Kyrin is known as being the smallest and most inhospitable country on Aven. It has two seasons that can change at any time, without warning, throughout the year: severely hot, dry summers, and extreme sub-zero winters accompanied by 'razor hail'. Kyrin has a single inhabited city, named after the country. The city is small, with heavily-reinforced steel buildings. Kyrin has only a local militia, but is a very important military staging point for either side.
     
    Byzantia: Byzantia is interesting, geography-wise. A ring of small, mountainous islands borders a larger island, which consists of a mountain-ringed southern half, and a flat, taiga forest north. The islands are trapped in an eternal, harsh winter, with a good two feet of snow permanently blanketing the landscape. A single Army base dominates the southern half of the main island, whilst the capital city 'Cliff Terrace', along with dozens of other small towns and villages. Cliff Terrace, the nations' capital, is built on the top of a large cliff, overlooking the sea.
     
    Falkland: Falkland, located east of the United Empire, is a sea-dependant nation. Its' four islands are spotted with many small seaside towns and cities, with the two most important being its largest, 'Shale', and the capital 'Stroetz Bay'. Falkland has a mild, warm climate, with a humid, sea-water air hanging constantly. Rocky shores, and vast, rolling plains make up the nations' landscape, and the furthest north island has one of the most advanced Air Force bases on Aven.
     
    Republic of Dayson: The Republic of Dayson consists of two nearly-connected islands, with two major cities: the capital of 'Westfield', and 'Hudson'. The Republic is, save for the cities, fully coated in foliage. The dense jungle has a warm, humid climate, with the occasional burst of rain. Dayson has one of Aven's most important Naval Facilities, Fort Edmonton.
     
    United Empire: The United Empire: a three-nation, three-island imperial alliance. They are one of Aven's most formidable, militaristic countries, on an equal playing field to Korr. The UE is headed in the city of 'Zath', with two other major cities at 'Harem' and 'Gattenfeldt'. The United Empire has a fair climate, with optimally warm summers, and relatively mild winters. There are five major military installations in the United Empire, as well as many small towns and cities.
     
    3. Advancement:
    Being a military-based RPG, there is obvious room for advancement. Said advancement can occur on a single level: ranking up. The ranks are as follows:
    -Private (Pvt.) – The grunts of the force. All recruits begin at this rank until proven worthy.
    Perks: Springfield, SVT-40, Thompson, Type 99, Colt M1911

    Perks: Colt Python
    -Major (Maj.) – The last active-duty rank. Finish this, and you're off the battlefield.
    Perks: Browning M1919
    -Colonel (Col.) – Welcome to the back lines, soldier. You've completed frontline duty, and now the lives of troops are in your hands.
    Perks: N/A

    Perks: N/A
    -General (Gen.) – You are the best of the best. Congratulations.
    Perks: N/A
     
    In order to get promoted, you must show prowess and dedication to the RPG. You will be contacted by a GM upon promotion. NOTE: Ranks Colonel and beyond have no new weapon perks, though, there will be special opportunities for high ranks.
     
    4. Character Creation:
    In order to join, you must fill out a profile, and PM it to me. Profiles are as follows:
    Name:
    Age:
    Affiliation: (only Army branches of each side are available at this point
    Squad Role: (Choose from: Rifleman, Medic, or Submachine Gunner. Machine Gunner, Demolitions, Squad Leader, Marksman will become available as you unlock more weapons/ranks)
    Main Weapon: (Choose between an unscoped Springfield, a SVT-40, a Thompson, or a Type 99)
    Sidearm: (Colt M1911, until you earn a new one)
    Appearance:
    Bio:
     
    5. Faction Creation
    In Break Point, players are given control. Though you may join one of the two opposing armies, you may also create your own small faction, whether it be a guerrilla group, supply runners, or anything else you can think of. If you'd like to create a faction, fill out this form, and PM it to me.
     
    Faction Name:
    Type: (Guerrilla, supply runners, etc.)
    Roster: (How many PCs/NPCs you have. NPCs must be in reasonable number)
    Location: (Include a facility)
    Armament: (Again, be reasonable. You wouldn't have tanks, gunships, bombers, etc. Try and be creative.)
    Description: (Goals, funding, how it was founded, etc.)
    Affiliations: (Other factions, existing or custom. Explain the affiliations.)
     
    6. Gameplay:
    Gameplay is like any other RPG you'd encounter. Here's a quick refresher:
    'IC' for in-character, role-played portions, 'OOC' for out-of-character discussion. Read the rules for more information.
     
    As well, being a war RPG, don't go doing anything overly heroic and stupid. Your character will promptly be killed.
     
    7. Rules:
    -Use IC/OOC, and use them properly. If not, you're gone.
    -No god-modding. You aren't superior to anybody else, and I will gladly prove that to you.
    -Don't kill other player's characters, or I'll have to kill yours.
    -Don't use other player's characters for anything major without prior permission from said player.
    -Just because you're higher rank, doesn't mean you're a freakin' superhero. You have the same abilities/strengths as anyone else. Go abusing your status, I'll abuse you.
     
     
    8. The Gamble Factor:
    The Gamble Factor is a significant, unique factor to Break Point. Being a war buff, I strive on the most realistic text-based war experience imaginable. Thus, the Gamble Factor was born.
     
    Now, you might be wondering what this means to you, as the player. Here's the low-down: In a real combat situation, extreme cases of heroism and bravado generally hang with heavy consequences. The loss of a limb, blindness, even death; all have been paid. This knowledge in tow, you must make many war-changing decisions, ones that could involve sacrificing your own life. Make your choices carefully.

    -SVT-40 (Private)

    Nothing

    By Crimson Jester,

    Simple I am
    Simple I go
    A few simple luxuries are all I know
    (And all I need)
     
    A simple man
    I have no home
    For all my life I choose to roam
    (Down my own road)
     
    The simplest life
    Is all I'll take
    When everything is hollow and fake
    (So full of lies)
     
    A basic life is all I need
    But if I could have just one more thing
     
    (chorus [Not at ALL satisfied with it...])
    Your face
    Mine to
    Embrace
    I won't let go
    I'm haunted by the memory of you
     
    Simple I was
    Now I fade
    My simple life for you I gave
    (Gave it all)
     
    Empty I am
    Broken, sullen and scarred
    As I walk toward my grave
    (It beckons me)
     
    (chorus)
     
    As I drift among the dead
    A thousand memories
    Flooding my head
    Flooding my head
     
    I gave it all for one simple thing
    My haunted voice for you it sings
     
    (chorus)
     
    Calm, collected
    Hollow, fake
    I have become something real
    I have become nothing

    Oddities...

    By Crimson Jester,

    So here's the situation: Hak and I, like every night lately, were playing Seven Hand Poker via MSN. We had each won two matches, and were playing a fifth and final round to break our tie. Game plays through as it usually does, Hak gets a chip, I get a chip, so on, and so forth. But our tiebreaker ended in a tie! We both had four chips! So yeah. Seeing how ironic that was, I decided to share my epic tale with all of you.
     
    *goes back to Poker*
     
    And yes, however strange it may sound, my name is Colt.

    Time for a short little rant, maggots!
     
    Opinions. Like the humans behind them, opinions are scattered and diverse. They are part of what I like to call our individuality complex; what makes you, you. Like fingerprints, there are no two sets of opinions that exactly match. This can range from your favorite sports team, whether you enjoy a certain type of food, or even your favorite music/bands. People also carry negative opinions, usually biased in one way or another by hearsay, or a bad experience.
     
    That being said, despite what some of you particularly head-strong people like to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't care how much it infuriates you, but unless it actually has some sort of defaming or demeaning quality to it, it is allowed to be spoken. This, unlike mostly everything else I or you say, is 100%, pure-cut fact. So, suck it up. Because, if you actually listen to your common sense for once in your life, you'll come to realize you have this handy little quality to walk away from a situation, or ignore the opposing party.
     
    Now, that being said, you're probably wondering why I'm bringing this up. I was wandering a certain forum today, and came across an argument between several individuals over hatred for each others opinions. This topic has been debated several times, and often has to have some sort of staff intervention.
     
    My first thought, as I looked at the confrontation was "What's the point? They're just making themselves, and the side they're defending, look stupid and lacking self-control." This brings me to my point.
     
    This website, despite what seems to be popular belief, isn't, and never will be, a forum of debate. I mean, in CoT in particular, there is a specific rule aimed at the dubbed 'versus' topics. The staff see what it does. It breaks two seemingly decent things and people down into a blinded slap-fight of pathetic retorts between a pair of blithering fools. They lock themselves so deeply into the fight, the two parties fail to see how bloody stupid they look. Because really, no matter how 'ignorant' or 'uninformed' your opponent is, you're both completely biased.
     
    So why do it? You get nothing out of it. I mean, internet tough-guys aren't like the real world. Everyone sees through your thinly-veiled threats, and the pompous attitude. Hiding behind a screen gets you nowhere. At the end of the day, everyone walks away from their computer, laughing at another kid who (with much effort, of course) is capable of making himself look easily as dumb over text as he does in real life.
     
    So, for those of you who didn't care to read the rest, because something else in your day is keeping you busy (which, I must congratulate you for), here's the gist of it:
    -Arguing about opinions is like fighting with your bare hands over a pile of guns, only to find the cache is filled with bubble-gum wrappers.
    -Internet tough-guys aren't that good at appearing tough
    -Bickering on the internet literally gets you nowhere
    -Everyone is entitled to an opinion
     
    Now, with that being said: please, for the love of BZP, please shut your mouths. If you don't like what somebody else thinks, learn to control yourself. The world is a plethora of varying opinions. You have more important things to worry about. I speak for the majority of the forum when I say your consistent beating of the last few specks of a long-dead horse really are just an inconvenience. You aren't even doing yourself any good.
     
    So, unless you've something contributory to say, put a sock in it!

    Reboot!

    By Crimson Jester,

    Well, it seems that the generosity of the BZP populace has yet again caught me off guard.
     
    For those who haven't taken notice yet, I am a week away from the beginning of my sixth, I repeat, sixth year at BZP. I'm sure it's something many people have hit, and will continue to hit, but, from my perspective, it seems like quite the milestone. In these six years, many things have happened. Bad times, like Hurricane Katrina, the canceling of Duke Nukem Forever (Fornow) and the recent Haiti earthquake. Good times, from the election of Barack Obama, to the release of several of my top albums of all time. Heck, in the time span of six years, I've gone from being a child, to a teen, and now nearly an adult.
     
    Now, before I go any further, I'd like to give my express thanks to Desu, Spink, and EW (twice). Without these three, I wouldn't be typing a blog entry. It was out of Desu's pocket, and the latter two's suggestion, that I be given the wonderful surprise of this PMship. So, if you do happen to comment in this entry, be sure to thank them.
     
    Anyways, enough of that happy, cheer demeanor garbage. Down to business.
     
    Not much to really note here at this point. Since my time of last writing, I've gotten further into the enlistment process. I applied for the Royal Military College of Canada, in order to get paid to go to university, and to become a Canadian Forces Infantry Officer. They've taken quite an interest in me, due to my hockey background (ironic for a Canadian, eh?), and I figure I'll probably be playing for the varsity team.
     
    So yeah, if you want, feel free to ask me some questions about anything. But specifically RMC. I'm insanely ecstatic about it.
     
    Now, before I drag this out, let me exit to the tune of an ever-famous quote from one of my favorite actors of the 20th century:
    "NYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
     
    That is all.
