Pickle4PP + My Thoughts

Day 2,855, 12:29 • Published in Canada Canada • by Thedillpickl



Hi kids!



After much consideration (and a lengthy discussion with the guy pictured above) I have decided to become more active in my party. To that end I would appreciate the vote of Beaver Action League members.

I would note that the last month my absence has been conspicuous. There was an issue with my RL workplace. I work the overnight shift. I cover 4 nights and my counterpart covers 3. When needed the other nights are covered by temporary people. Seems the last few weeks no one was available to work nights. I worked 78.5 hours last week. Also didn't help that I've got a medical issue.

Anyhow, there is now someone to cover the other 3 nights and I'm hopeful the medical thing is drawing to a close as well.




Observation

Finally, I can take a moment to actually visit eRep. My life has been busy so I am even more removed from the goings on than I had planned. I'm glad to see people are still active but I scratch my head at what they are trying to accomplish. The term "Chinese fire drill" comes to mind.


How Canadian society appeared to me when I first arrived.

While somewhat interesting to see all the personalities come out into the daylight, examination of what this game is morphing into reveals a useless pile of excrement. I'm sure everyone is working toward something that they think is most important to make the game fun.


Canadian society with the rose colored blinders removed.

What I see resembles a smokey old tavern:

➳ We have the good ol' boys sitting at the bar nursing their beers, reminiscing the old days and muttering about how someone should do something.
➳ Old bitties and coots sitting at the Keno table scratching lottery tickets waiting for the next round to come up. They do love their gossip.
➳ Hustlers and suckers are at the pool tables. For some reason both think they are going to take the others money.
➳ Kids playing shuffle board. They act real cool and think they are "fitting in".
➳ Odd people (like me) sitting at random tables, munching a greasy hamburger and sucking on suds. Some thinking they should stand up and say something, others just sitting back enjoying the show.
➳ Then there is Rylde... shoving quarters in the jukebox. He's making a lot of noise but no one is really dancing to his tune. Those that are standing just sort of shuffle their feet with their arms hanging limp. Quite the lame party he is throwing.

I always imagined the end being like watching a train wreck in slow motion. This is like watching Canada willingly march into quicksand.
