Before I get permissions I need to actually select, which pics I want to post. Thanks for the comment on the poem.

In case anyone notices, I guess I'll give the answer before the question comes. Yes, the Paypal donation link has been removed. We have issues with the Paypal account, which are being worked on. Will let you know if anything new happens.

Thanks! The three liners were really weird for me too as I usually write a-a-b-b type rhymes, but the idea was something fresh. And I've always had trouble with rhythm, being more of a rhyme person myself. I guess it's something I'd need to consciously work on, but never feel the inclination to do.

Dreams reflected in a pool When wind's embrace Disturbs the surface Dreams simply blown away Simply come back again Is hope really vain? Dream on dreamer So they used to say Day after day after day. Dreams are eternal To be eternally broken Again and again. Close to completion Hope comes fast But hope is what dies last.

Flames Dance Life-giving light Flames dance merrily in the night Burning lives away Chasing the night away Picture taken during 4th of July BBQ in Queens, NYC

So it was the hottest part of the day in Miami and I needed to get off the streets...and went in a cinema to watch The Dark Knight. The reviews were hyping about it, and justifiably. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a posthumous Oscar given out for this one...and Heath Ledger isn't the only one to put in a good performance (although he does thoroughly outclass everyone). Go. See. It.

Imagining that with the hair that you have does provide a pretty vivid mental image. ;P

As far as I know it's still supposed to be out in April of 2009. At least that's what Amazon also says.

Finished Robin Hobb's Assassin trilogy a while back. It was a fun read, although it did drag on at times. Now reading the Liveship Traders trilogy by the same author. At times it's very good, and then at times it's much too slow. Still a fun read, but I don't think it ranks with the best.

I saw Memento recently. Very well acted film and a very interesting concept. Three thumbs up...wait I only have two...

Do you perchance have a sample (or samples) of the type of stuff that needs to be written?

This one felt pretty weird while I wrote it, and I'm not really sure about the artistic merit in it...but hell, I need to get back to posting ways. When you don't have inspiration Just write When you feel nothing is right Don't run When you just want to hide Face your fears When you look at me It makes my day.

Happy Birthday Mynx!

I see you're still doing it, Can't let go of this shit. Is it simply lack of will That causes you this ill? Get a grip on yourself And leave the bottle on the shelf. You'll see you'll be better And you'll feel less bitter. Still the same crappy rhymes, but hey, that's the only way I write poems.

Villagers got lucky with the roll of the dice, eliminating the wolf. Finishing scorecard: Tanuchan - Seara Ryswell Akallabeth - Wolfram Waters TheResearcher - Joran Griswold Savage Dragon - Jasper Cornelius Dead players: Mithrandin - John Deere - villager, 1st lynchee Giles Jordan - Dane of the Ornate Helm - villager, 1st wolf kill Ozymandias - Routh Kurston - wolf, 2nd lynchee Akallabeth was the baner and Savage Dragon the seer. First night's seeing target was Mithrandin/John Deere, targeted by the wolf at the same time. The baner did not have a target.

Angry voices drew Stephen to the back of the caravan yet again. Contrary to what had happened before he arrived there before anyone was harmed. A ring of people surrounded Routh Kurston, who was protesting his own innocence, just as the farmer had been doing twenty four hours earlier. The captain of the guards was just about to break things up when someone tugged at Routh's sleeve. As the merchant's sleeve tore along its length the moneybag that had been fixed to his arm was dislodged and tumbled to the ground. For a merchant who was going to King's Landing to sell his things, Routh sure had a lot of coins with him. Silver, bronze and even some gold coins tumbled to the soil. Some made moves to pick up some of the coins, while others cornered Routh between two wagons. For once, the guard captain did not interfere. He did not mind a traitor dying. OOC: seems that you got lucky. Ozy/Routh Kurston was the wolf...

This time there was no scream. The killing was silent and went unnoticed during the night, being discovered only when the mercenary captain went to rouse everyone and found that there was one person he could not rouse. No exterior signs betray how Dane had died, only a faint smell lingering on his person betrays the potent poison mixed into his supper. Another pair of fighting hands is gone and the defenses of the group weaken. Who does this benefit? OOC: Dane of the Ornate Helm/Giles Jordan was an innocent villager. You have 48 hours to lynch someone. OOC2: Sorry for the short post, but I have to be getting back to The Witcher. Much too good game for my own good.

Nice to see you around again Sweet.

The rain struck at noon, drenching everyone and everything in a matter of minutes. A lot of names were whispered during the gloomy hours of rain, some maybe for the right reasons, others possibly for false ones. The only certainty in the whispers was uncertainty itself. One of the younger boys had the bad luck of mentioning Stephen's name while he was in earshot. The glare the guard captain shot him back would have been enough to set his blood rushing fast had the boy not already been running to the back of the caravan. "No! No! It wasn't me! I'm innocent!" came an agitated shout from behind the last wagon. "I'm but a simple far-" the second shout was cut short by a low-pitched grunt caused by a knife thrust into John's chest. "I'm in....no...cent" he managed to gurgle between the blood he was coughing up as the young boy who had been running from the captain of the mercenaries reached his side. By the time Stephen was there John was dead, having drowned in his own blood. Shaking while he was interrogated the boy could only say that he hadn't seen who had stabbed John. Three miles to the east, the outrider Stephen had sent out that morning clutched at the arrow shaft that protruded from his neck. Only four guards remained... OOC: The dice decided...John Deere/Mithrandin was an innocent villager. Specials you have 24 hours (give or take a bit) to PM me your targets.

Day phase shall end in about 10 to 12 hours from now.

Read quite a few books recently. George R.R. Martin - A Game of Thrones, A Storm of Swords, A Clash of Kings, A Feast for Crows - Breezed through these four books quite fast. Very captivating reading, has you turning the pages very rapidly. Now I can stand in line with all those people who've been clamouring for the fifth book for a couple of years. Tom Clancy - Clear and Present Danger, The Cardinal of the Kremlin - Usual Tom Clancy stuff. Nice long reads. Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind - reread this book, still very good and waiting for the continuation. I'm currently reading Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy (one book down) and have the Liveship Traders trilogy scheduled for after that.

Game thread is up! (link) Roles have been sent out. If you haven't received a PM then you're a villager. There is one wolf, one seer and one baner, which means that there are four innocent villagers. It is now dayphase, you have 48 hours to lynch someone. (that 48 is approximate, I reserve the right for ~12 hours plus ...posting in 48 hours would mean another post snuck in from work ) Players are: Tanuchan - Seara Ryswell Akallabeth - Wolfram Waters Ozymandias - Routh Kurston TheResearcher - Joran Griswold Savage Dragon - Jasper Cornelius Giles Jordan - Dane of the Ornate Helm Mithrandin - John Deere
