Blues win game 2, again in overtime. They lead the series 2-0.

Hopefully Seabrook is suspended for the cheapshot on Backes instead of getting a $5 fine.

Backes wasn't looking so good...

I was using a hack to find criminal's locations more efficiently. The only fun I find in city RP's anymore is exploiting the rules lol.

Please be banned.

I don't like the way experience works.

Instead of it being based completely on chance, it should be a sort of token economy system. Basically, you gain "points" which are small, insignificant rewards that are given to you for doing your job. Once a certain amount of points is attained, you gain one experience point.

For example:

You're a laborer and you get experience from collecting resources. Instead of your gaining experience hinging completely on one lumber or one ore, each resource you obtain has a chance of giving you a point. Let's say you have a 50/50 chance of getting a point from every resource you gather. So if you collect 500 lumber, you would theoretically get 250 points. Once you reach a certain amount of points, you automatically gain the experience point and the counter resets. Instead of the laborer getting one experience for 1000 lumber, and then another experience after only 20 lumber, they would get one experience for 475 lumber, then another experience point after 530 lumber, etc.

The "points" don't even have to be shown to the player. This is just a way to make gaining experience better.


Also, there was a disagreement just a while ago. Nobot was harboring criminals and making up rules to benefit himself and is friends. Basically, he was harboring criminal-friends inside his house. Then, when I blew the house up with a grenade to allow cops in to arrest them, the two inside were killed and they dropped their weapons. dwaif jumped in and grabbed the weapons, but the house reappeared leaving dwaif inside.

Nobot then threatened to ban dwaif if he did not give the weapons over.



He says above that if dwaif leaves before handing over the weapons, he will be banned. However, there being no actual set rules, Nobot says that this rule is common sense. It is obviously not a "common sense rule".



He then defends himself with the above. Even if this was a rule, I was the one who killed the criminals. dwaif was simply a bystander grabbing weapons (the weapons and their money are legal to pick up because they were criminals). You can't ban someone for legally obtaining weapons and then leaving. After those weapons are picked up, they are dwaif's.


Anyways. It's over with, but I suggest talking to Nobot about making up rules to benefit him and his friends, and perhaps creating a set of rules so this sort of thing doesn't happen in the future.

Pavel Datsyuk scores with just minutes left in the 3rd period to beat the Bruins 1-0.

Go Red Wings.

The Beatles by far.

The Beatles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5c-LVYnafg

Hey Jude is a popular song among those who barely know about the Beatles.

Some others are:
Come Together
Yellow Submarine
Here Comes the Sun
Hello Goodbye
Let It Be
Revolution

I like the less popular songs more than the ones that most people think of when they hear of the Beatles.

Here's my top 25 Beatles songs.

Um what. A pastime is something you regularly to to stay entertained. Why would you choose something not entertaining to entertain yourself?

When I say boring, I mean unexciting. Something can be unexciting and still provide enjoyment. Collecting baseball cards is unexciting, yet it brings joy to certain people.

Same goes for watching baseball. However, there are people that find baseball exciting and enjoy watching it. It depends on the person.


I was at the Blues game. It went until around 11:30 PM. That's the best Blues game I've ever seen/been to.

I apologize for being unable to update the stats until just a few minutes ago. I got home from the game at about 12:15 AM.

I'm saying I follow the teams and watch tons of their games so I can brown townyse them pretty well.

Which team do you root for though?

yah, baseball isn't boring. :(

Baseball is America's pastime. It passes time. If you need something to pass the time, it's most likely not something exciting, for example collecting stuff, taking walks, or fishing. Most baseball fans admit that it's boring, but they like baseball the most compared to other sports. I respect that, just not when they think baseball is better or more exciting than sports like hockey.

At the end of the first day of the playoffs, the Ducks, Canadiens, and Penguins all win game 1 of their series. All of those are in my favor. :D

Tomorrow are 4 good games:  Blues/Blackhawks, Sharks/Kings, Rangers/Flyers, Avalanche/Wild.

As from a Boston Bruins fan I feel like they can easily sweep them regardless. (Also a Pens fan, which might help my reasoning they're gonna win lol)

I don't understand this part of your post. You're contradicting yourself...

Anyways, I can't see the Blue Jackets getting more than one win out of this series. They are too young. They have nearly zero playoff experience and will have trouble defending against the Penguins' offense.

I'm taking a long shot with the penguins beating boston (or even phili) but I feel like they'll start playing to win again.

You have the Penguins beating the Blue Jackets in 6, yet you also have them winning the cup over the Ducks.

If they have trouble with Columbus, they're gonna' have a lot of trouble making it to the final round. In my opinion, that should be 5, tops.

The other weird one I see is the Bruins sweeping the Red Wings.

Unfortunately, the last two were both against the Blues.
