I suspect a lot of people hate JWs because they're unitarians. Many Christians consider denying the divinity of Jesus to be a pretty unpleasant thing.

I'm not sure there have ever been enough poggers in one place for a live turbo, but with this new infusion of ww enthusiasts, maybe this summer at the wsop

clown ; great, ssnl game ok to run on April 6th?
Either we can find a co-mod to call night, or you can run it at euro friendly times.

all ; Thanks for tha congratulations. We've been trying for ~6 months. I don't find it that hard tbh.

graydot ; sounds like something we could start thinking about, I'm sure there's a us city with enough people playing here now to make it a posibility. If not Reno's idea sounds good.

So my first delivery arrived today. Tiiiiiiiilt.
It was the Planet Earth and Firefly blue ray boxes, of course I don't have a player yet.
On the bright side I had forgotten that I also ordered "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" so I'm gonna read that for now (or reread since I've pretty much read most of it)

edit: April 6th sounds good as long as someone can explain the finer points of modding (namely how do I count votes, balanced v/w/s ranges, pretty sure all of that can be cleared in one PM). I'd have to know if I have a comod or not before we put up the signup thread I suppose since it will dictate nightfall times and thus influence who signs up.

w/v/s ranges are in the sticky.

there is a spreadsheet there for counts too.

I do counts manually, so I am little help with advice of how to use it.

wrt a co-mod, that is dependant on how bad you want one?

Since we want to start on the 6th I suppose if someone volunteers within 2 days we'll play US times otherwise it's Euro times.
So signup thread can be posted on Saturday/Sunday in SSNL.

I can call night a couple times for you as long as the votes are kept up-to-date until some reasonable point late in the day.

so I had a dream last night involving VR and what must have been a bunch of other poggers because we were all sitting down together live to play a ww game. Except we were doing it at a poker table. We weren't in a casino but in some sort of gymnasium or maybe a warehouse of some sort.

Once we got to the table we weren't playing ww but hold'em, and on the very first hand I was dealt KJo except that the tops of the cards were clearly marked with what the cards were, and I said I wasn't going to play and VR got pissed and basically tried to fight me.

She was surprisingly strong and almost threw me to the ground but didn't. We eventually worked it out and a got a new deck to play with and then that section of the dream ended.

Later on I was at a different poker table sweating a friend of mine and the dealer asked me if I wanted to play so I grabbed a chair and sat down and found a green chip ($25) that was stuck under the rail so that was nice.

The only person I'd like to throw to the ground right now is the person that apparently stole my Phillips 66 credit card and used it to buy their groceries at a gas station. Dustin is safe from me for now.

buying groceries at a gas station (or more likely walgreens) is definitely my style

Going to get a couple of hours sleep and then head straight to the airport, and then after a mere 18ish hours I'll be in vegas!

Someone let me know where and when we're meeting on saturday

So, lunch at...



I'm not allowed to meet internet people unless the guy is available to go with me, but that issue will hopefully resolve itself soon, although not next week soon.

this reads like you're hoping for a breakup.
And I'd feel really weird and pissed if my gf decided to go meet some dude she met on the internet. I mean if you don't know pog how can that not be sketchy.

I'm not hoping for a breakup. We are currently apart more than we are together because of living in different cities, which may change in August.

Edit: And we've talked more in terms of multi-person gatherings like Reno or Vegas, rather than me just going to have lunch with some random guy. (No offense, dustin, I know you're not random.)

So I was doing dishes, had the dishwasher open, turned to do something, turned back around and nearly tripped over the door to the dishwasher.

Which reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in 15 years. The mother of my best friend in first grade in paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheel chair after falling backwards over a dishwasher door that was left open.

Holy ****.

fair enough. And I think I'd be more comfortable with my gf doing that too.
