Two words:

Hell's Angel

Is organization its main purpose?

Is it a scientific concept?

Was it invented within the last 20 years?

Okay I just dug through the internets, had a nice musical throwback, and I think I found it:

Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

Bingo! You can see how I thought it would be easy to find based on that picture.

I recognized a lottt of the songs I went through but this is one that I didn't, otherwise it probably woulda been a lot easier


Okay so I had an idea to have the prompt be a whole bunch of random words and have ya'll guess them all, but that didn't work as the image just turned into a scrambled mess that didn't look like anything

So here is an easy one (probably)

We are getting into a very broad topic now which borders on life / career advice / personal philosophy, and without getting too deep into it I'll just say that ultimately the drive to create has to come from within, rather than be externally motivated. So its entirely understandable that entwining one's passions with one's financial needs can create tensions between the internal and external. Everyone's situation is going to be different so you kind of have to decide for yourself these things and what makes sense for you.

To get a little more on-topic with regards to forum games, the basic point I wanted to make earlier was that there isn't really a critical difference between forum games and other art forms where professionals do exist, so a career in forum games doesn't seem entirely impossible of an idea (and apparently it already exists, as Nuke mentioned in their examples). How feasible it really is right now is another consideration though.

There's certainly nothing wrong with doing creative activities purely as a hobby. That's how forum games / roleplaying are for me, and I doubt it will ever be anything more than that. I'm simply in support of pursuing one's passions as a possible career (and in fact that's what I'm doing, with my music). Anything that brings value to the world deserves a kind of support in return (and often times that support will be naturally established by those who can enjoy said value, in one way or another). Anyway the topic may be getting a little too broad at this point.
