Raistlin's Round 3: Welcome to the Frontlines

[Del Murder]

Hm, that was profound and from the heart. So when exactly did you take over Raistlin's account, BoB?

[Jiro]

You're so smurfing sentimental, Raist.

[Pike]

My post tricked Raist into showing his softer side! Just as planned!

[Jiro]

What a sneaky sneaky robot

[Raistlin]

Is this what I get for saying something nice??? I'll be sure to stick to calling you all jackasses from now on.

[Hollycat]

Raistlin, would you like a huggle?

[Del Murder]

Hypothetical question. You've just won this contest and are now Eyeson's Next Cid's Knight. Naturally, the first thing you do is go into the staff forum and search your name. You get about 5,000 posts as a result. After reading every single one (I know you would) you find a not very flattering picture painted of yourself. In fact, it may at times be downright insulting. Many personal digs have been taken at your intelligence, your compassion, and your hygiene. What would you do?

[Raistlin]

That is actually a very good question. But I would laugh and get over it; hell, I would probably get a kick out of it. I really don't take things personally, and I'm sure most of the comments there were in response to me trying to provoke some sort of reaction some years ago. If there's one thing I can do, it's laugh at myself (and write love poetry to Neil deGrasse Tyson, but that is not relevant to this post). And in some hypothetical bizzaro world where that actually happened, that would probably mean the staff was also passed it.

Plus, can there be anything worse in there than Shlup has already said to me personally (and publicly)?

[Jiro]

You'd be surprised.

No I jest, it's really not that bad.

[Freya]

He's lying, they are always saying you smell of farts.

[Raistlin]

I'm sure that's all Shlup blaming me for her own!

[Raistlin]

Oh, and I suppose I should decide who to save with my immunity, because this round might end in a day or two. I figure I should save Bleys on the off-chance that he might be cut, just because he's so fun. The only other people I'd care to save are involved in the Thunderdome already competing for immunity. Well, and Vivi22, but as he's my pick to win, I'm refusing to accept that he'd need any help this round.

Give me your immunity.

If you were still in this round, I would have considered it, if only to confuse people.

So I'm writing an article about sexism in Final Fantasy. I was hoping to be able to complete it today, but I had a headache most of the day, so I only have an intro and outline done so far. I think to give the subject any fair treatment and analysis, it's going to have to be fairly long. But I hope it will be a good discussion starter.

[Jiro]

Get what you can done and make it a two-part thing if need be.
