I do the same Sully, except I've hundreds on my to-read list (kept on GoodReads) and about 20 physically at home waiting to be read. Then there's a whole library of books near me too, so I borrow from there too. Too many books, too little time. I alternate between heavy (eg, The Idiot which I read this year) to light (eg, Lee Child's Jack Reacher books) and get about one non-fiction in for every 3-4 fiction. Love sci-fi and fantasy though. I'd read anything except chick-lit.

As a staff member of tcd I have borrowing rights in the library. I'm gonna miss that place when I get a real job :pac: Because of the arts department they have lots of regular non-academic books, and as it's a deposit library they're sent a copy of every book published in GB&I every year. They don't keep them all on campus - most go to storage. But it's a really great facility.

I just don't understand science fiction. I know that makes me an odd scientist.

Secret photos

Ah no. Yeah, photos went up but people took them back down I think. Well I deleted mine as I was far too drunk in it and that wasn't needed in the public domain. I only posted it to show that me and Tigs might have mutual friends IRL!

Hiya folkettes!

There is waaaaaaay more wimmins here than on any other part of boards (barring tLL I suppose), it's especially surprising considering it's a game!! :P

I also missed the whole pics thing but I defo did enjoy when I read the describing each other thing! I did see the Andy pic, also shocked. Was fully convinced he was in his 50s with kids my age!

:pac:

QB, dunno how I completely missed you were a girl! I had you pictured as a short, slim, dark haired slightly hyperactive guy with glasses! Didn't cop at all the in the last game that you, me and Xara were an all female killing team!

I am sickened I'm missing the beers! If I wasn't already going to be in Lisbon in Nov for the web summit I'd almost consider flying home for the weekend! :P I've been on boards for years although at varying levels of interest and I've never made it to a boards beer.

You're not alone. Most people assumed male. It didn't bother me one way or another, so I never corrected them. It was only after WW3 that I mentioned it when talk of the beers got serious, I thought people should know. I had quietly grinned to myself though, about the three Baratheon brothers all being women!

Haha, yeah I get that, I think if you don't have an female sounding user name people (myself included) assume you're a dude. Like I thought Xaracatz is surely a girl, same for Cee Jay and MrsFlushDraw obviously. In most other parts of boards they assume I'm a guy too, also never bothers me but I do correct on occasion! :P

I am on the last episode of season 1, not as good as I thought it was going to be. Didn't grab me from the first episode like The Blacklist and Mr Robot etc but going to keep watching it.

I am not into gore, and although I watch Game of Thrones and Vikings which is a bit bloody etc I am finding TWD a bit yuck! but will stick with it for now.

Mollyb60 · 29-10-2016 1:08pm

Ahahaha just found this in the vampire backroom and it made me lol hard:

i think its 50% as lucifer would be holding back more, the picture of a red haired woman on her profile probably is activating my conformation bias

Tigger, the red haired woman is Ariel from the Little Mermaid, and it's my sig coz I have red hair. Yay confirmation bias!

It's based on my name. I am not blue in real life.

i'm gonna go but i'm thinking of designing a game
what type? i think i'd like to doyust two terams but we are quite advanced now so would that be boring

Could do a game, based on the players that have played....

i'd want to do a game where we all re-reg with clean accounts
barman
barmaid
brewer
blacksmith
mayor etc
stuff like that and play in the back room and we discuss the game openly on boards using our normal accounts so its two games at the same time and the dead room isopen to all from the start

i'm trying to work out how it goes but for example i might be the barman and i might be a werewolf so i represtent that i'm just a barman on the otherplace and we play were wolf

but in the "dead" room we are all talking so i'm tigger and i might say i think the barman is a wolf and then we lynch him so i'm out of the game as the barman but i'm still in the discussion as tigger

so dont say i'm dead in the game and near the en there might be 6 players left in the game but there is still 24 players left in the discussion room who may or may not be alive and they are pushing for their team or they are interested in whats goingg on or they are being helpful or not

so its two games going on at the same time in two different forums on about 5 different threads

i thionk it might need three teams each with a room and some villagers with one shot powers to make it interesting.

i wouldn't be playing but for example if i was id have to try to post inthe style of someone else to throw off the link between tigger and mr barman

yeah the mechanics are the bit i'll have to think about
i like the idea that people can keep playing for their team but they mighn't even be on that team or helping at all
you could say on the boardss area i voted for barman
on the back area 1i voted for bar maid
and in the "wolf " area i voted for mayor cos i think he'ss one of the other team

i like the idea you could throw yourself undera bus and then be saved buy you enimies

That is taking 'complicated' to a whole other level. Not sure I'd be able to keep up with that.

MrsFlushdraw · 29-10-2016 5:19pm

Remember during the game I mentioned that I couldn't get in on my phone, well I had the same with my tablet and then my laptop. Had to reset my password. This is the second time in the last couple of weeks this has happened,

ALSO I was saying about not getting emails anymore? still not.
NOW I noticed I didn't see sigs, so went in and it was removed and also avatars, I had an avatar but can't remember what it was and wasn't till I switched back on avatars I recognised Valeyards and Mollys etc

This is all so odd. Has anyone else had any problems like this? I know I didn't make these changes to my account.

if there was some sort of boards website update recently or something it may have re-set all the options to default?

It's a great idea, but I'm not sure that boards admins would allow the game of re-reg accounts?

Thanks, the dress took me a while to make and I wasn't really happy with the makeup in the end as it was rushed, but sure. I went as Venom last year and set the bar way too high for myself. It's still my favourite pic of me:P It's the only time of year I get to dress up and be creative! :P

sullivlo · 30-10-2016 7:17pm

Cool costumes!

I think I'm getting old. Or something. I used to love dressing up for Halloween and making the most of the long weekend by going out and having the lols. I have a bag of home made costumes from nights out over the years.

But this weekend all I wanted to do was sleep. Today I even willingly cleaned.

I think I'm adulting and I don't know how to stop it

I cleaned the shower. Properly full on cleaned with vinegar (limey area), changed my bed, hoovered, cooked dinner... Now I am lying on the couch with 3 lasagna and 3 cottage pies in the oven, and when they're cooked I'm going to drive them into town to give to a charity who feed homeless people. I also made 4 sliced pans worth of sandwiches. It cost me the same amount as a night out, but the people needing food are more important to me.

Tomorrow I think I'll build some Lego.

Oh! I forgot that I also walked the dog. We're dogsitting. She pulled at one stage and her lead snapped! Thankfully I was able to get a hold of her but it made for an interesting walk home.
