Finally got my account re-upped! Woo hoo!
One thing I thought I'd mention (yes, Lora'Lai modified something in the base, first thing. )
I replaced the Atlas Park portal temporarily with a portal to the Rikti War Zone. So when you come back through the Base's Main Entrance, turn right around the corner and it's the first telepad on your right to get back to the RWZ.

I just discovered the Fan History Wiki while doing some research -- does anyone know anything about it? It looks surprisingly detailed, at least on a couple sample pages I clicked, and I was wondering if anyone had strong opinions, good experiences or whatever.

The Internet Is For Norns.

August 1, 2007, Tommy Makem, Irishman, singer, songwriter, poet, and bard, passed away after a lengthy struggle with cancer. He was one of the great inspirations in my life, and one of the most genuine and fine individuals it has ever been my pleasure to meet.
Sir, you will be missed.
Motivational Poster Inspired by the news

I sit by my fire when the twilight falls softly
And all the sweet memories flow through my mind
I imagine I see, as the flames wave and flicker
The people and places that I've left behind
Chorus:
Sing me the old songs of laughter and pleasure
Sing me the old songs of sorrow and pain
Sing from the heart, sing of love without measure
The good times, the bad times, the sunshine, the rain
I hear an old song that keeps haunting me ever
The good times rush back with that well loved refrain
The sweet wine is flowing, the bright laughter ringing
And all the old friends gather 'round me again
Chorus
I remember the summers, the walks in the country
The long, quiet evenings, the smell of the hay
The touch of a hand and a smile that beguiled me
And told me of love that's still with me today
Chorus

Look at them now
What do they want?
And what do they do?
Nothing at all!
What do they know?
What do they think?
And who do they tell?
No one at all!
Their lives are truely meaningless
And we are busy being blessed
With all that we
Can take and pocket
No one needs to know
We're the plug
And they're the socket
Give us the juice
And we'll glow
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king!
How do they sleep?
Their lives are so tawdry
We're the trash collectors
'Cause they're nothing but trash
What do you expect?
They've got no standards
So we lower the bar
'Cause they're perfect for us
We'll open up Pandora's Box
Pandora gave us keys and locks
They're the victoms
Waiting for their mugger
Come to the confessional
So I can tell you all to bugger off
There's no time like now!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the marketplace sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king...
And we'll do it our way
It's our time to play
We know what to say
If you stand in our way
Don't stand in our way
No time like today...
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the anthems we sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
The butcher is king!
Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the chosen ones sing!
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pigs
the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs
the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs
the butcher is king!
In the land of the pigs
the butcher is king!
-- Meat Loaf, In The Land of the Pigs, The Butcher Is King

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

Chapter Five of Drunkard's Walk V is now available on my website.
And since this came up last time, if you have questions or objections about anything in the chapter, you might want to check the Concordance first and see if we've covered it already there.
Have at it, folks! Enjoy!
