Careful with asking questions, it tends to aggravate the Administration here.

The Courtyard is dangerous for us. Or maybe it's paradise... depends who you ask, really.

llBoonell

A fresh comment on a ten-year-old post? What the hell, indeed...

llBoonell

Careful asking questions here. It angers the Administration.

[COLOUR: Red] may be larger than life to you but it is no giant, nor is it the sun. It's something else entirely.

llBoonell

Try not to ask questions, it draws too much attention.

I've seen many voices come and go. If there's a particular one you were after, say so and I'll tell you what I can.

llBoonell

I'm going to stay here for a bit, watch the sun for a while and collect my thoughts. Let me know if you need anything - go take a walk, if you like.

Maybe stay out of the Courtyard, though. For now, at least.

llBoonell

Kind of a combination of hot oil and melting/charring plastic. Also probably some burnt-rubber smell but hard to remember since it was so long ago.

It was quite strong for the first three-or-four days of riding (about 30-40 minute rides each day), and became less noticeable after that. It gradually lessened to the point where I didn't notice it at all after about three weeks or so.
The fact I was riding it every day for those first three weeks probably helped shift the stink quicker - if you're not riding it every day, it'll take longer.

llBoonell

Not safe at all. I'd still probably want to send it round the loop a few times, but I acknowledge that wouldn't be a good idea and if something went wrong I'd only have myself to blame.

llBoonell

It's the sarcastic cackle after the "re-tail" bit that just gets me, the dwarf knows it's an awful joke and he doesn't care one bit

llBoonell

any part

llBoonell

Nar don't sabotage any part of someone's vehicle, it's not a good idea.

llBoonell

Aha, cheers! Forgot that was today!

llBoonell

Hahaha that one got me laughing aloud in the coin laundry, good on ya

llBoonell

Not full time no, she just fills in occasionally - always a good time. I've met her a few times and her energy is just fantastic, I wasn't surprised at all to see her absolutely killing it as a presenter just as much as she does on stage.

llBoonell

True enough, maybe 'ask' was the wrong word. Maybe 'call it out' is a better way to phrase it.

llBoonell

The 'why' of it's existence lies in the balance of nature, so to speak - it's theorised that the Crime's existence is a sort of 'law of nature', designed to maintain the world's balance: it helps limit the amount of immortal beings running about the place by making it <very> difficult (though not impossible) to procreate.

As to why the metamorphosis is considered bad - those multiple cases that don't seem so bad? The operative word there is "seem" - there is much more to people like the Ligeians than meets our mortal eyes.

llBoonell

What exactly are you referring to?

llBoonell

That's fair enough, I saw similar things at the Trans Day of Visibility rally I was in last year - pretty well-organised, everyone was looking after each other and doing the right thing. Suppose it just depends on who's in the crowd on the day.

llBoonell

I dunno anymore, honestly - I've seen stranger and more unhinged shit on my morning commute than what the other commenter described.

My first thought was 'that happened' too but on second thought, it doesn't seem that strange to me anymore.

llBoonell

Slight clarification: the Crime itself is the consumption, not the procreation on its own.

llBoonell

My own armour is done up in all red and black, it's just colours that I like at the end of the day. If someone suspects it's some kind of dogwhistle they're welcome to ask me about it - and if they'd rather just be lazy and assume things about me instead, that's their prerogative.

llBoonell

Man, you guys are nuts... I hate cold morning rides, every time I'm stopped at the lights you'll see me with my hands down on the cooling fins trying to defrost my bloody fingers!

llBoonell

Delaying the inevitable - don't wanna go back up.

I like it down here.

llBoonell

Hahahaha I had a guy like that once on Melbourne Road, heading to Williamstown. I gave an admittedly-dramatic nod/wink combo, he came back with a big ol' salute before twisting the throttle and taking off like a shot!

llBoonell

Hahaha that's one hell of a necro!

But yeah, can confirm - looks like they made all extra content available before they shut down the services for the game. Good on 'em, I suppose

llBoonell

I've made a habit of appending "honest question, not having a crack" or something like that to my comment when I need to ask something on here, just in case. Usually helps set people's mind at ease.
