It's AWESOME getting funny, silly, weird or downright dirty cards from folks, to stack up on my little table. I never used to get anything, so now I have lots. It's great fun.

Perhaps it's fate that today is No Pants Day, and you will once again be fighting for Triumph... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from pants. We are fighting for our right to go streaking. To exist. And when we win the day, the No Pants Day will no longer be known as an Triumph holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not only go streaking at night!" We will not wear pants without a fight! We're going to streak on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Pantslessness!

So it is indeed possible to vote at 7:59 and 8:00.

I16 is fantastic to me because it adds just that much more customization and creativity to our characters. And the AE provides a limitless source of actual content (we never farm/PL). Even my daughter (age nine) has written her own arc.

Of course, my daughter spends almost as much time in the SG base or her Hobbit house (depending on which game she is playing) as she does questing. She puts a lot of RPers I've known to shame with her imagination. Whereas many RPers I've seen seem to think spouting off lore tidbits constantly constitutes roleplaying, she spends time in her house or in the other areas of the game world playing the same way she plays with her dollhouse. She has her own little stories going on all the time -- and even manages to connect them to CoH/LOTRO as she goes. That is, she's aware of the game world and just weaves it into her own stories. It's fun to listen to her play.

She doesn't require other players to interact with to have fun with her own stories, any more than when she's playing with her toys by herself. The other day in CoH, she had one of her characters being a super Longbow agent. For a while, she ran all over Atlas Park looking for Longbow patrols. She would check in with the leaders, give instructions, and move on to the next one. If they were in combat, she would join, and act concerned if any were knocked out or nearly defeated.

In LOTRO, one day I noticed she had her little Hobbit girl (a Guardian) in, dressed in a dress instead of armour, and walking around all the bushes in her yard, pausing every now and then. I asked her what she was doing; she replied that she needed to trim the bushes. She said that there wasn't an emote for that, so she just pretended that's what she was doing.

A few days later, her Hobbit invited a couple of our characters (both Hobbits, of course) over for a party. While we were logging in, she ran her character over to the neighborhood shop and pretended to buy food and such for the party. The she ran back to her house and pretended to cook. When we arrived (having doffed our armour and donned more party-appropriate clothing), she served several courses (from appetizers to desserts), then we went outside and played party games (e.g., tag, hide-and-seek).

We didn't gain a single point of XP, we didn't "progress" our characters one iota -- but we had a blast using our imaginations and playing together as a family.

The next day we geared up and stomped some Orcs together. That was fun too.
