How much is a stream? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

We had really bad flooding up here back in March, and people are still cleaning up/fixing their houses, too. I think the difference between the floods here and what's going on in South Louisiana is that people had time to get out. They knew ahead of time that flooding was going to hit most of the places that got flooded. With the current flood, it was all flash flooding, which caused many people to be caught unaware in their houses. That's about how it was here, too. It happened in a small area, though. There are always flash floods here, where we live in the mountains. During the rainy seasons we always buckle down and expect a number of them to happen, but the one in WV just hit harder than most do. I live nearly on top of a mountain, so I have to worry more about landslides. But five minutes down the road, or thirty minutes the other way, where the town is in a small valley? If it even rains six inches there's a minor flood going on as it runs down and just sits in the town.

Flooding has been terrible this year. Southern WV went through it's own flood disaster just a few months ago or so. I'm glad it's getting so much coverage, hopefully it'll help with the efforts. It's going to take a lot of clean-up; we're still cleaning up some parts here.

If you ask me to stancedance one more fucking time..
Arrelaine replied to Lamiaris's topic in FFXIV Discussion
Man, like I don't even care what the heck you're doing as long as the bad guys are dying and we're not. I've tanked, dps'd and healed and I just don't care. Someone's not as efficient because they're not doing the rotation right? Don't care. Someone's not stance dancing, but the group's staying alive? Don't care. I stance dance because I'm bored, I don't stance dance when I'm experiencing a little lag (a rare instance). -

Wayfarer's Gift Giveaway: July *Results are in*

Thanks again for putting these on! Now I can take creepy pictures of people having dargon wings! bwahahahahahah -
...I made some eye candy. Of the giraffe kind.

I think a way to get around the quickchange thing is to say it's just a glamour that they put on and take off whenever they need to. Like, for instance they could make armor look like regular clothes and vice versa. It would be just like the game mechanic, except you can activate or deactivate the crystal when you need to. Obviously, it would still remain the original it would just look different. It's really not any more useful than walking off stage, but I guess people like that kind of flavor? That being said, if you have a standard, people should respect that standard. Especially if they're very clearly posted.

A birthday present for Val! Have some of my other characters, mostly of Marcelloix. Yes, my Elezens are eye candy. OKAY???? If you'd like to commission for screenshot edits, send me a PM!

1) I have, basically when she had reached the end of her story and was no longer enjoyable to play. 2) They were all fine with it. 3) Yes, I would still play/RP with a person described. While my story may be intertwined with theirs, it's still their game, their character, their money. If they're getting bored with a character of theirs, who am I to get upset when they've decided they're unhappy enough with the character to end them? RP is a game to me, a hobby. The player's feelings matter to me more than the RP or how it affects my characters. I can always RP with their new character. I'm of the belief that only I'm responsible for my own entertainment or my own happiness, and I hold that to other people. So, if you're unhappy with another character's death because it was just out of the blue, then walk away. It's neither wrong for them to kill their character because they're no longer entertained, nor is it wrong for you to walk away because you're no longer entertained. The people who get upset, harass, cuss someone out over a fictional death are people I certainly don't want to hang out with.

[6-16-2016] Sale of Housing Advertisements Temporarily Suspended
Arrelaine replied to Nero's topic in Forum Announcements
They didn't, but given the fact that most people's reasons to buy an FC is to get the house that they have... probably not allowed either. -
This will be as-applicable when one person with a knife can kill 50 people in a club in minutes, or a student can kill 30 college kids with a single knife, or someone with mental health issues can murder two dozen school children in seconds with a single knife. Law doesn't have to fix it, it just has to make it harder to do it this easily. Hell, no law in the history of man has gone unbroken, so why bother having any of them? I mean, drugs and prostitution and everything else is illegal and people still do it, so why bother legislation against them? People are just gonna be people, so we might as well give up on trying to not listen to our lizard brains. I'm not grumping at Askier in particular, but "people are just going to do it anyway" is the worst defense for guns, and it seems to only ever come up regarding guns. Think of how many lives would have been saved in Colorado, or Florida, or Sandy Hook if these people only had access to knives. But they wouldn't not have access to guns. Look at drugs. Prohibiting drugs certainly didn't make it harder to aquire them. The Cartels from Mexico smuggle them in on an hourly basis. They would still have access to guns. If you put in gun laws, guess who doesn't have access to guns? The people who are willing to protect themselves. All of those places had no-gun rules. What would have been the outcome had someone else other than the police officer outside had a gun there, who had their permits, their classes and their training? Also, all of those incidents, people had guns illegally. None of those people were legal gun owners. Even the guy in Florida would have been an illegal owner had his ex-wife reported him for domestic violence. They all either had a rap sheet, or they had mental health histories, and they got their guns from legal gun owners (which is also illegal). You can't own a gun legally if you have any sort of mental health history, drug abuse, or really anything on your rap sheet that would have landed you in jail. They -already- 'do it anyway', it's already supposed to be 'harder' for them to get it. Everyone here where I live conceal carries. We have almost no gun-related violence. Everyone assumes everyone else has a gun, and the rare occurrence is a robbery at a gas station. "The system works, it's just everyone else failing it?" Sandy Hook took his mom's weapon. Orlando bought his weapons legally. I don't recall off the top of my head where Virginia Tech bought his, but VA has such lax gun laws it's laughable. Again, if "everyone would do it anyway" how come drugs are still illegal? Gambling, outside of select states? Speeding? Law in general? Why is it always guns that people clamp down on? What's the last mass-shooting that was stopped by a heroic concealed-carrying citizen? Never, because mass-shootings happen in gun-free zones. All those places? Had rules against carrying guns. There was a mass shooting that was stopped, just after the Pulse one in California. ISIS had called for more attacks just like it, and a member was on their way to a gay club there, but he was stopped before he even got there. Has there been a mass shooting where people were allowed to carry guns? Even VA Tech has a no carrying law, as most colleges/university in my state do. And exactly, Sandy Hook stole his mother's guns (which is illegal). Orlando wouldn't have been bought legally if his wife had reported him for domestic violence. VA tech did buy his legally, before they closed the loophole where people with an unstable mental history could still buy guns so long as they didn't go to a ward. Now if you have a prescription for any kind of mind-altering substance, you can't get one legally. I don't think we need speeding, drug, prostitution or gambling laws. If people want to do stupid things to themselves I don't care what they do. Prostitution and drugs would be a heck of a lot safer if people didn't fear punishment and actually get help with not doing dirty drugs or getting STDs. In other countries, there are places were there are no speeding laws, rarely does anyone get hurt. In other countries, prostitution is legalized and the prostitutes can regulate themselves, and demand testing or protection. People don't rape or abuse them because they're protected by law. Here, they're going to get arrested if they go to someone and say 'hey I'm a prostitute and I was raped'. I already made the point about drugs and alcohol. Alcohol is by far a worse substance, yet it's legal to drink it, and people go out and kill people by the -thousands- because of drunk driving.

Money we don't have. On laws that really only effect the people doing it to themselves. Heck, alcohol has a worse effect than most drugs and it's still legal. They would still have access to guns.
