Rurik Harrgath Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 You have more than likely heard that an active and long-time member of the Rebellion passed away late last month. @Mr_Willes was a wonderful friend and contributor to the Forums, one of those sterling examples of encouragement and kindness who make this place so magical and keeps us coming back again and again. In Willy's memory, we ask that you take some time to reflect this challenge; even if you didn't know him personally or even through the Forums, the example he set is a lingering reminder that we can, each and every one of us, do with more kindness in the world. Be the spark who lights a fire, that others may follow in the warmth and glow of your wake! That said - Welcome, one and all! Our next challenge is about to begin!

Jarric Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 A half-elf slides silently into the room, taking up his usual stool and leaning on the bar. Not the usual today, barkeep, he says, with a wry smile, but make it strong and dark Wordlessly the barman produces a bottle from beneath the bar, with a stemmed glass. Turning to the room at large, the half-elf raises the glass.

May he rest in peace. 6 Quote "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." -Henry Ford "If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things." -Miyamoto Musashi "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore." -Kurt Vonnegut. Link to comment
