Welp waking up after 3 hours of sleep. My doggie decided to jump on my bed this morning and get me up early. I love him though so it's okay <3

Also morning my red babes

Hikamaru May 2nd, 2015 5:09 AM

Not good Chase, we're down a member because Alex has been a bad boy

Sirfetch’d May 2nd, 2015 5:14 AM

Well let's not talk about what Alex did. But Team Red will be okay! We will still take down those blue boobs ;D

Hikamaru May 2nd, 2015 5:15 AM

I know about the whole "ban privacy" thing but I hope we can get someone new to come in and take his place...

Sirfetch’d May 2nd, 2015 5:16 AM

Red vs Blue is still taking signups so we will get some more partners soon!

Hikamaru May 2nd, 2015 5:51 AM

Please feel for me as I am suffering terrible reminders of that nasty time I had in 2011... I really don't want to call it quits because I'm so brittle and insecure

Zehn May 2nd, 2015 10:31 AM

Hello comreds

This day is quite uneventful for me, being a Saturday and whatnot. Usually Saturdays and Sundays are my boring days, mostly because I want to go out and do things but I can't because the public transportation systems sucks some serious ass here on weekends. So, Mondays-Fridays it is, I suppose.

I hope everyone has been doing well though!

It's been such a busy Saturday for me ;-; I helped my parents with some things after shopping and now the day is mostly over already D:

God I need to apply for more jobs too. I got called back for a second interview to a place but if it falls through I need backup plans. I am just so lazy sometimes when it comes to actually doing it.

Meganium May 2nd, 2015 11:32 AM

There was a job I was interviewed for, but I had to leave my place 2 1/2 hours before the actual interview because I had to cross the city with two major highways, and one of the highways are known to be absolutely awful during rush hour traffic. I barely made it.

Wicked3DS May 2nd, 2015 2:40 PM

I have a job. I wish I lived closer to work because I could conceivably wake up an hour later if I lived 20 minutes closer -_-

Sirfetch’d May 2nd, 2015 2:45 PM

If I get this job, it is only about 20 minutes by car from my house. That isn't too bad imo.

Sonata May 2nd, 2015 3:31 PM

If I get any of these jobs I've applied for I'll only be about 5 minutes away on foot.

Sirfetch’d May 2nd, 2015 5:14 PM

Oh you people who can walk to jobs sure are lucky haha. I don't really live close to any business as I live out. Means I have to drive pretty much everywhere and with gas prices so high....

Sonata May 2nd, 2015 5:47 PM

It seems that there's still some confusion. So let me try to make this as clear as possible. This is how the scoring for the quote war works.

Every time you quote someone from the Blue Team you get a point. It doesn't matter if someone posts before you or after you, you get a point for quoting anyone from the blue team. That being said, every time you quote someone try to post a link to the post so that at the end of the week we can go through and tally it all.

Now as for chains. A chain is created when one person quotes someone from the other team, and then the person who was quoted comes in and quotes the person who quoted them. Hallelujah it's a chain! Now as long as nobody else (regardless of if they're on your team, the opposite team or not on any team) pops up and breaks the chain of quotes, then you get a chain count. And you get a point for each and every quote that you've made regardless of if you were the last quoter or not. So here's an example.

If person X says that they like pickles and then person Y quotes them asking if they've ever had kool-aid pickles, then that's a point for person Y because they just quoted person X. Now it becomes a chain if person X comes back and quotes person Y without someone popping in between them. It's just like a conversation. Now this chain goes on until person Z - who could be literally anyone - comes in and posts. So the chain starts with the first quote, Y quotes X and sets it all off. Then when X quotes Y that's a 2 quote chain. Y quotes X again it's a 3 quote chain, and this goes on until person Z decides to ruin the fun.

If anyone still has any questions just bring them to me and I'll help you out.

Sirfetch’d May 2nd, 2015 8:13 PM

Thanks for clearing that up, buddy! You explain it way better than I do when people ask haha

Meganium May 2nd, 2015 9:29 PM

I prefer to drive.

Even though I'm about 10 minutes from both work and uni, I'm still planning to move even closer. Because the traffic seriously kills my commute, so sometimes I have to leave my place over 1 hour or so before, in case I get into traffic. Hopefully I'll be able to get a place by the end of the summer.

Although Houston's public transportation is decent, and cheap.

bobandbill May 3rd, 2015 4:22 AM

I drive at times, but with uni at most I drive to the train station and enjoy an hour+ train trip. I may move closer with a friend to uni this year, but then I'll be significantly poorer. =(

Luckily I have some income from the uni already (plus tutoring!), but when I near the end of my PhD it'll be application-sending time.

Meganium May 3rd, 2015 4:58 AM

Yeah. Houston's public transportation system is about to get renovated soon as well.

Although I really miss San Diego's system. FUCK YEAH TRAINS AND TROLLEYS.

Sonata May 3rd, 2015 5:01 AM

I don't know too much about our public transportation system. I know bus fare isn't too bad and then there's the public access bus that costs a dollar to go anywhere in about a 10 mile radius but they have certain stops kinda like a bus. We don't have many bike paths though which really irks me.

bobandbill May 3rd, 2015 5:08 AM

Our train system (Sydney Trains, formerly CityRail) is not the best. I don't have many complaints about buses but rarely catch them anyway, and sydney traffic can be pretty terrible at times so I imagine buses are also affected.

Lycanthropy May 3rd, 2015 5:29 AM

My experience with buses is okay during summer time, then it's a decent way of transport. But in winter or when it's raining for the first day after a week without, the bus always has some delay. Once I even had 45 minutes delay (on a trip of about half an hour).

I take the bus sometimes, and yeah I hate it when one of those things happen. :x

Megan May 3rd, 2015 10:21 AM

It's good to not be too much reliant on public transportation services. No more waiting an hour for a bus just to get home, every day and being able to decide on your own when and where you want to go is just great. The only downside is that maintaining a car can get really expensive, especially when it gets older.
