Grats folks! Cheers to Dark and BP for the prizes.

I couldn't entirely say, Leaf S'like I said, I haven't really touched the official fate/stay stuff... saw one of the movies, but that's been it. Though that was part of the maybes included in that post, heh. M'honestly a little iffy on it, but (some of) it might be close enough to what Vec's looking for to be usable. Definitely silly things like impossibility or undesirability isn't really stopping Shirou in holding his ideals, and he recognizes that (insofar as I'm aware, anyway) instead of just being ignorant of it.

But yeah, that's a theme/starting point on a lot of the better FSN fanfiction stuff I've read. Addressing that issue (or not) is part of the fun, so to speak. Sometimes it even ends well, which I've no clue if the official FSN media does or not.

Yeah drought. I think Florida has been in a drought for the last 15 years or so. It's pretty pathetic to see swamps dry out into Texas-esque fields of scrubby dead shrubs. There were bouts out wildfires there too, but I think the municipalities there are more aggressive in putting out brush fires then they were before, so I can't think of any recently.

Nah... it's been off and on, not steady drought down here in Florida. Fairly sure it's been more on than off during the last couple decades, though But we've come out of drought conditions occasionally during that period, I do believe. This report's got a fairly concise look at drought history near the bottom of the pdf. S'a little outdated, but hits the early 2000s and '80s-'90s fairly well, from what I skimmed.

Not that drought conditions stops it from being as ridiculously humid as ever, o'course. Just means there's not as much rain.

Foolish... or really running the numbers for it. What's a couple planets here and there in exchange for a massive boost to the rate of expansion? Especially if they've figured out a way to make particular (mostly useless) planets attractive to the effect. S'the 40k Warp argument all over again, really~

As to the first bit, I don't think Samus is the one calling the shots re: civilization wide energy sources

... s'actually some kind of multi-species group, if I remember the bits from the comics, but I don't recall how much things-not-human had in regards to influence. Phazon could have direct parallels to stuff like asbestos, though. Call it a rather short-term-focused-species thing, if you really wanted to.

Hmmm, we haven't had a lot of posts in here lately. Out of curiosity, who's still actually interested in a multiplayer game, rather than just available?

M'still pretty comfortably in the "If someone bothers hosting, I'll join up" zone. So long as I'm at home and don't have need-to-sleep issues, anyway. Have VotM, for what that's worth.

Airdrop, buddy. Proper evil empires do it with zeppelins.

Or maybe strap rockets on it, whatever.

Yeah... like I mentioned, I totes wouldn't mind working, especially volunteer or part-time/reduced pay work, for the right causes. Find somewhere comfortably weather and social wise, stick to the kind of subdued entertainment consumption I've been doing for a while, and then find something genuinely useful/beneficial to do. I'd be set and damn happy -- double-bonus points if it's somewhere aesthetically pleasing, too. Honestly, it's money issues (with a sideline of figuring out how to convince people to let me, ha.) that are primarily stopping me from doing that good works bit now.

And I'd much rather be doing that than just bumming around. Bumming around is great, and while it never exactly gets old for me, it does kinda' get a little stale after a couple months. S'like... I like stale bread too, sometimes, but variety is better than stale bread forever. People like to work nearly as much as they like to play, so long as they're working towards something that has some sort of meaning for 'em, yeah. Fairly sure there's some degree of psych studies along those lines, if I'm not misremembering...
