Erm... have you got a better idea? 'Cause if you do, tell us. When the elected representatives stop listening to the electorate, some form of protest is necessary to try and keep 'em honest. Not necessarily picketing-outside-W's-window-protesting, but something. Heck, an angry letter.

Feeling the presence of other ancients, Sliros awoke.

----------

It was an unusual evening in Joth, as the district's citizens had been brought together in the abandoned plaza of a dilapidated villa. The majority of them looked better off than the city's homeless, but worse off than the peasants. In truth, the homeless were simply those who had not found their way to Joth yet, as the vast abandoned sector of Kirwood had more than enough room for all of the city's squatters to thrive. The only problem was that the vultures of the city, the thieves and robbers, were more than content to prey on the weak, causing a rather high turnover of residents in the district.

But tonight, most of these hangers-on were gathered in front of a substantial fire, passing around flagons of home-brewed beer and flasks of stolen wine. None knew exactly why the gathering had been called, but nobody felt like questioning it.

The story of the evening was Jerome's escape from the thugs, which he re-enacted rather frequently. Each time he told the tale, it grew just a bit more improbable, and Jerome grew a bit more drunk. A little after his third attempt at showing off the flying roundhouse kick that knocked out all three thugs at once, Zeth walked up to the fire, catching the attention of all.

As Jerome picked himself up off the ground, Zeth spoke. "Now I know you all think there's some sort of ominous reason I called us together tonight, but I'd like to reassure you that it's just for our own merriment. I thought that it'd be enough to celebrate that Jerome's still alive."

This was met by a few loud bursts of cheers and applause, and much to his own surprise, Zeth continued speaking. "It's just that we don't deserve a life like this, one where we don't even see our neighbors unless they're being held at knifepoint. Where our loved ones and friends disappear in the night, victimized by cults and slavers."

Zeth had no idea where he was going with this, but the crowd was hesitantly drawing closer to him.

"I think of this as a beginning, the start of a life for us all where we can depend on one another to endure all that the cruel city can subject us to. The patrician takes our silence for granted, but he should fear it," Zeth said, now convinced he'd had too much to drink. He tried to steer his monologue back to something reasonable.

"Anyway, I hope that everyone's enjoying themselves. Maybe, the next time someone has a near-death experience we can do it all again. For now, I'll leave you to your drinks..." he said, before his mouth started moving again. "But first, a toast!"

The crowd was getting a little jittery at this point, but most of them were amiable enough to lift a flagon of something. Zeth, puzzled at his own drunkenness, continued: "A toast to us all, the forsaken denizens of Joth! The city may forget us, but wiser and stronger powers have not!"

Zeth glanced around at the crowd, the fire, the abandoned villa... and what he saw left him in a cold sweat. Just within the reach of the fire's light, a small cloud of black moths fluttered harmlessly. Now completely terrified, Zeth's rebel mouth plunged on: "A toast, to Sliros!"

The revelers joined him, toasting the name they'd never heard before, yet knew by heart.

With all due respect, but what has been happening here lately?
Geneforge 4 was released, providing the spike in board activity that we'd all predicted and bringing a fresh wave of members to the community. It just seems that most of these members have yet to "stabilize," for lack of a better and less directly offensive way of saying it. I could swear that in the past, such people "stabilized" a lot quicker, and thus the community's growing pains were minimized. Right now... well, we have to deal with it.

I kinda agree with Slarty, but honestly, I'm getting fed up with some of it, and a few times I have wound up actively restraining myself from exploding in a cloud of profanity. Of course, I've been a bit more stressed in real life as of late, so some of that is probably creeping into my posts.

Nioca: TM, like most people here, is actually a very reasonable person, in case you hadn't noticed. I mean sure, his posts could use a couple gallons of disinfectant every now and then, but beyond that, he's fine. He's as core of a member as any other "oldbie," or whatever we're calling that now. And when he does go off, he does so in a fairly restrained way. Like, instead of posting six topics full of gibberish, he'll make one topic with a really pointed (and possibly offensive) comment. And honestly, I think that's easier on everyone.

And honestly, if we brought him back, we'd probably have fewer of these disputes between oldbies and newbies, if only because TM would say something that just makes everyone stop and think for a while (even if they're just trying to figure out if they've been insulted or not).

So, I happened to look at the date today, and realize that it's been three years to the day since I registered. Needless to say, I was excited that I hadn't forgotten this completely (though my goal of reaching 3333 posts by now fell through). But anyway, that made me think about what's been said over here about the feeling that this place is fairly constant. And like I said there, I agree completely.

I mean, since I registered way back then, I've graduated high school and made it through almost two years of college, I've created an improv group, then joined two others, designed two (almost three) BoA scenarios, been to my grandfather's funeral, watched the St. Louis Cardinals play in the World Series twice (getting swept once and winning in 5 the other time), realized that a long-distance relationship with someone I didn't really love doesn't work, found someone that I do really love, very nearly lost my last shred of sanity to Saturday morning chemistry lab, and helplessly watched the fallout from one of my high school friends suddenly turning into a murderer. And that's only the major stuff.

Thus, in a similar vein to the Where You At Now? topic, anybody else feel like ranting about how much everything but SW has changed since they registered?
