Someday, I'm going to drag up my first post on Yahtzee's old Keenspace forum...or not. I remember how I was. It's one of those things that's pretty high up on the list of "Things I Would Beat the Hell Out of My Younger Self for Doing and/or Saying."
Check out my crappy drawings!

You've got to remember that you're more privlidged than your younger self. You've got years of experience on that self. That's why I don't shoot myself when I read some of what I wrote. It's almost frightening how far one can come in four years...

This should be my first post on these forums. And as you can see, the first reply sort of scared me off for awhile. It also gave me an irrational fear of Icey, which I have thankfully overcome.

why is "consent" to have sex between two people "consensual?" it doesn't HAVE to be "sensual" to share consent.

I'm going to assume this was my first post, but I've been wrong before. If I can be arsed, I'll look on the proboards forum and the old LnE forum too...
EDIT: The earliest post of mine from the Yahtzee Proboard forum was this one, old LnE board to follow...

I just thought I would share this with you guys- there are authentic rules of a British golf club during WWII
1. Players are asked to collect Bomb and Shrapnel splinters to save these causing damage to the Moving machines
2. In competitions, during gunfire ar while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play
3. The positions od known delayed action bombs are marked by red flags at a reasonably, but not guaranteed, safe distance rom therefrom
4. Shrapnel and/or bomb splinters an the Fairways or in Bunkers within a club's lenght of ball may be moved without penalty and no penalty shall be incurred if the ball is caused to be moved accidentally.
5. A ball moved by enemy actions may be replaced and if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped, no nearer the hole, without penalty.
6. A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped, not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole, without penalty.
7. A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. One penalty stroke.
No wonder British have Monty Python.
This was shown to my college group during "british culture" class by our native speaker teacher (100% pure English)

Well, that's golfers for you. Mind you, they/we were much worse in the Victorian Era...

It sounds from that list as though if there were to be a nuclear holocaust, the only creatures left living would be the cockroaches and the golfers, and maybe some mutant plants or something.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

I don't really see the big thing about the list. If you're not fighting in it, why should a war ruin your fun(assuming you're not in more danger by playing).

revolt - that's really a great idea for a game.
Sime - of course you are in danger playing - read the delicious line "A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb..." Can you imagine a poor golfer with perforated eardums, splashed by mud, complaining about the one penalty shot he gets...
Actually, at that time Britain was at war with Germany...That was the whole point. That despite the war, British were determined to continue to live as nothing happened.
