MINGLE #2

[footkind]

Use this post to mingle and meet with each other! For the coding to make your tags MSPA-style use the box below:

<b><font face="courier,monospace" color="#HEX">

There is no set time line for these interactions but the game has not been launched yet and no one but the Beta(s) should know they are prepared to hack the game. For human/troll interactions try to keep I AM AN ALIENNNN to a minimum, or at least be realistic--would YOU believe someone was an alien if the IM'd you and told you they were?

This iteration of the mingle post will include sections for each team to help everyone figure out what do! You don't need to reply to these but I think it might be helpful c: You may create your own sections for your characters as well!

One would suppose it would depend on the hobby in question. However, by and large I would find I agree with that statement.

[absentultima]

i c∧n't think 0f ∧ single 0ne.
even /\/\usic bec0/\/\es unn∧ccept∧ble with /\/\0re th∧n the /\/\ini/\/\u/\/\ v0lu/\/\e.

[austereastronomer]

Perhaps you could try reading?

[absentultima]

re∧ding is 0ne 0f /\/\y preferred ∧ctivities.
i ∧lre∧dy do.
but re∧ding is 0ne 0f the few truly quiet h0bbies.

[austereastronomer]

I do enjoy a good book.
It's rather a shame that there are so few of them.
I hear on other planets they used to have an impressive literary body of work.
I'd have liked to have read some of it.

[absentultima]

th∧t d0es see/\/\ like ∧n ∧ctu∧l sh∧/\/\.
/\/\y re∧ding /\/\∧teri∧l h∧s g0tten sc∧rce l∧tely.

LOL LOOK AT ME HTMLFAIL OTL

[austereastronomer]

What sorts of things do you like to read? Perhaps I could recommend a title.

You are somewhat SKEPTICAL, as they seem to be a HIGHBLOOD, and you didn't hate everyone else to the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE LEVEL (with personal exceptions), you would HATE THEM THE MOST.

But THEY LIKE BOOKS, and that is at least one point in their favor.

...and then I html failed too

[absentultima]

this se∧s0n, /\/\0stly hist0ric∧l n0vels.
they put the /\/\ilit∧ry c0nquests in ∧ fresh perspective.
i h∧ven't decided wh∧t t0 f0cus 0n f0r next se∧s0n yet.

and now I have typing macros for this wheee

[austereastronomer]

If by "a fresh perspective" you mean a propagandistic one.
I used to read from that genre, and found many of the stories entertaining, but I find the constant flagellation to the Condescence frustrating.
These days I am more interested in philosophy.

XD

[absentultima]

she h∧s the right t0 rule.
i d0n't like 0r dislike th∧t trend.
i h∧ven't dug t00 deeply int0 phil0s0phy yet.
/\/\∧ybe i'll l00k int0 it f0r next se∧s0n.

[austereastronomer]

It's not that I debate her right to rule; rather, the fact that she and her actions are largely above reproach.
But yes, philosophy I find to be quite interesting.
Much of it I don't agree with, but it provides a lot of thought-provoking material.

[absentultima]

h0w w0uld y0u pr0p0se t0 even cre∧te ∧ w∧y t0 d0 th∧t?
there is n0 0ne ∧b0ve her.
s0/\/\ething th0ught pr0v0king w0uld be ∧ nice ch∧nge.
it s0unds like ∧ g00d ch0ice f0r next se∧s0n.

[austereastronomer]

Absolute authority is a poor idea.
Everyone is fallible, even those with absolute power.
Drastic change is sometimes necessary to improve society.
But quibbling about politics aside, I'd highly recommend it.
I can forward you a list of titles I recommend.
I think that even works that oppose one's own points of view can be useful for refining one's views and separating the metaphorical grain stalks from the chaff.

[absentultima]

i w0uld need t0 re∧d up 0n it /\/\0re t0 be ∧ble t0 discuss it th0r0ughly ∧nyw∧.
yes, i w0uld enj0y l00king 0ver th∧t list.
if n0thing else it will sh0w /\/\e h0w 0ther tr0lls think.
