Considering Dirk's original concept was based loosely on the Chinese electric batman, I don't think you really mean that.

(In the second season, the Chinese Electric Batman goes from a clean polite youth to an unshaven drunk in the space of two years - after which circumstances force him to take on an apprentice, who he proceeds to beat and mentally abuse to make up for his own insecurities because he lost his love interest between the timeskip. He gets better.)

Maybe not, but I am always willing to adjust my role-plays with characters when able.

Well, that's quite the fall from grace for this Chinese Electric Batman, though there are people like that. I still am quite polite, and used to be extremely kind in high school, but as I got older, I realized that you cannot be good to certain people. Now, my default is to be modestly good, but eventually I will snap and start yelling and threatening people who are consistently bad, stupid, or pathetic. I did this three times in my job before being fired, though yelling at and scaring the biggest boss (the plant manager) speechless was priceless, he stood still, mouth open, bald head and face full of worry, looking like he was about to crap himself. It's funny because he was always acting like the 'tough guy' and it backfired completely. Prior to that, my supervisor, who was also trying to act like the tough guy, received my wrath, in front of the foreman, and he did nothing, a whipped puppy basically.

Now that I think about it, maybe I'm not as kind or good I think I am, considering I can get up-close, face-to-face, with guys twice my age and size and give them shit to their faces. I don't think I am scary, if you go to my FanFiction profile, my username being JonathanKonopka, you can that my avatar is an actual picture of me, wearing a cuirass, I don't look scary.

Anyways, I was thinking of a new style of role-play somewhere. People can be assigned to specific tasks, such as role-playing as the 'boss' of the area, or playing as a villain who pursues the heroes and is so strong they are forced to flee, somewhat similar to that demon-guy from Prince of Persia you must always escape. It may be a driving force for users, as they'd have a predatory effect in their role-playing.

I made a mistake; I forgot that this month is quite short, not having the usual thirty days. So, I will be leaving tomorrow morning, and may be gone for up to a few days. I'll be driving to Vancouver to try and buy a new car. I should be back by March 4.

Change of plans on the last minute, I just made an important revelation. The vehicles we've been watching past few weeks from various car dealerships in Vancouver have undergone some changes in their stats. For example, one Nissan had 90k km and then suddenly has 140k km. I also found out it has fifty-nine history records, meaning it underwent 59 accidents/repairs/examinations/etc, making me suspect something was amiss. Also, I looked at an American website, a carfax provider, and found out most cars could be traced into USA. This made me speculate that the car dealerships in Vancouver buy crappy cars from USA, refurbish them, make them nice and shiny, and resell them for profits. I decided it's not worth the risk. Instead, I think flying to Chicago and buying a car there is a better idea.

To those who may be buying vehicles from dealerships, be sure to copy-paste the carfax number from their website into a carfax website that tracks carfaxes, as that will at least give you the number of history records of the car, which provides hints about their quality. If a car is cheap, has low mileage, and looks great, there's probably something amiss. You can also use a magnet to see which car parts are magnetic, and check for stickers; if the car is missing stickers and isn't magnetic, that means it's been in accidents and had parts replaced (so don't but it). Another thing I noticed from first-hand experience with house salesmen/retailer agents, is that the nicer they are, the more likely they are trying to sell you a bad house/property.

Hey guys. I've been lurking for a couple days. College goes 0-100 and then 100-0 in the span of a week. 2 tests and a presentation tomorrow, another test Thursday, and then spring break for a week. Looking forward to that, for sure.
I just play FFXIV at this point. DC: Crystal
