On an unrelated note, I realized today that I've now been participating in the threads for over three years.

My first thread was Outpost, March 2011. Three years, four months. How time flies.

EDIT: On a completely unrelated note, I hate writing omniscient viewpoints.

So (<— as you might be able to guess <—)I spent the whole morning finishing a digital drawing of Oswald all cloaked up, so, essentially, the way he appears in Inn right now. Here's the whole thing (just upper body) for those curious. I think it's a marked improvement over my Joseph picture earlier this year. I'll have a variation without his mask too sometime later.

Now that that's done, I'm going to go eat (like I said, the whole morning was spent drawing) and try to get something posted.

Would I be interrupting if I went into the dining hall? @_@

In which thread, Inn, I'm assuming?

Yes, in Inn.

I also work a lot during the day so I will likely be slow during the week. Uh. I will try my best.

Hey Night and Lord Greyjoy: I get that time in Inn is a bit in flux, but just how long are Se and Gregory going to stay in bed?

Still having motivational issues, though the main reason I haven't been posting for my one active character is because I've been braindead.

Will at least post something for the observatory later, however.

For the people in the Game Room: Don't wait up on me, I don't think I have anything else to add to this conversation. Blackfire667 can go ahead and respond.

If I knew how I know everything I know, I'd only be able to know half as much because my brain would be clogged up with where I know it from

Once Masterofchaos posts in Inn, I'm dropping out and sticking with just Archipelago, probably until I'm done with my summer classes at the beginning of August.

The goings-on seem really insular now, and that's even considering I bring an adult desensitized to weird shit and unafraid of military-types rather than a jumpy little kid.

You realize we don't really have anyone who would answer to the description of "military type" in the thread? The closest thing to an actual military archetype was one of KC's characters early on, but which isn't currently active; Gault's characters match it visibly I suppose, but you've been saying this since before Gault joined. We have people who are enlisted, sure, but it's not like they've been wearing uniforms, openly carrying weapons, or marching. Even that number is relatively few. There are a fair number of combatants, but aside from Gault's characters, nothing that would distinguish them as such to the eyes of a child.

Every time you've said that I feel like you must be talking about some bizarro universe version of Inn where everyone's in a uniform.

None of them look military, but the bulk of the conversations seem to be about military-type things. Putting aside Daisuke for a second, it doesn't interest me.

Unless I'm also wrong about that, in which case I'm sorry I even brought it up. I can't read, by the way.

Everything still seems very insular, though.

By the way, if I ever say something that doesn't make any sense (and this goes to everyone), please, I beg you, just tell me the first time or I'll just keep thinking my misconception is right until the thread's over.

I'm not really sure where you're getting this impression either. Looking at the current conversations:

  • Rein and Lord Greyjoy's characters have been variously insulting Steve and discussing superheroics (which I guess is sorta "military"). The current conversation with cats' character seems to be about food.
  • I'm not sure what's going on with Naoko and Mazak, since that conversation seems pretty slow, but I think it's about comparative magic systems.
  • Oswald and Blossom have only just started talking, but it's certainly not about "military things".
  • Claire is trying to get information from the Firstborn about the Eyes and Teeth. I guess that could vaguely be considered a "military" topic, but not really.
  • And for my part, Havanar's conversation with Nyris has been all over the place.

I do agree that Inn is feeling a bit fragmented, if not quite "insular".

[up]Dunno. Honestly I'm not sure who's still active beyond the people I just listed.

Insular meaning not receptive to new people. The conversations are well-established, they've found their path, and they're flowing along sort of like how a plot does. I know I've felt this way before- the conversation's about to come to a head, when suddenly someone new comes in and breaks the flow, or they even try to steer the conversation elsewhere. That's why I always ask. But I don't think I've ever even heard of anyone else feeling this way, so I might be alone here.

Either way, I understand that the military remark was equally as stupid and based in irrationality, and I offer my apologies for bothering everyone with my drivel. Probably for the best that I stay out if that's how good my reading comprehension is.

[up]Don't beat yourself up so. Once a false perspective gets stuck in one's head, it can be very difficult to remove. Many in your position, I find, would rather argue onwards than admit they weren't looking at the right thing. I'm sure you can think of a few highly-paid examples.

Patxi is relatively unoccupied and decidedly benign to one's immediate health, so if anyone wants to chat...

Something seriously weird is going on with my connection to TV Tropes, so posting may be sporadic today.

[up][up][up] ...Yeah. Thank you, it means a lot.

[up][up] I still have classes to worry about, so I'm not really sure yet. Thanks, though.

And bringing Daisuke was just a mistake. I'm developing him just fine on my own, so... yeah.
