Ertai whored psionics out.

However Tres brought the psionic sexy back.

He is definitely up there with some of my favorite Psionic users, but for uniqueness I have a few candidates on my own list that rank higher.

However he is pretty much #1 for public RPing picks.

Eating is such a chore now. I don't know if I want to keep building muscle.


Sure does feel good having the genetics to sit at 200+ and only have to eat like 2500-3000 calories to gain when guys half my size have to eat like.. 4500 to just put on five pounds or see their numbers jump up ten or twenty pounds.

Also creatine is a big deal because it's one of the truly well-researched supplements that actually has a beneficial effect. However, you don't have to take that much of it (in fact, front-loading creatine to 15-25 grams a day for your first few weeks, is bunk despite being "common wisdom" for most gym rats), but it does improve performance, mostly at max effort or at the point where you would really begin to fatigue.

It's not going to make you put on mass any faster, it'll just improve workouts. Wanna put on mass? Eat. Drink a lot of water. Sleep. Lift heavy, lift often.

Also, just because someone does something for free doesn't make them above criticism or reproach, nor does it mean they never make mistakes. Just because some guy offers to fix my car doesn't mean I'm going to let him because it's free, and if I goes off and breaks a tire-iron off in my engine block then it doesn't matter whether or not it's free, he's clearly a shitty mechanic.

Any time you step into a leadership or authority position, you open yourself up to criticism. That's because the capacity for critiquing authority is what keeps it in line. I've run tournaments before; I expect people to be thankful but if they have a problem with how they do things they're entitled to say so, it's a two way street. I don't get a get out of jail free card just 'cause I'm doing something nice for the community, I still have to be competent.

Which isn't to say that the judges are incompetent. Only that if you're gonna do something.. you kinda have to do it competently, whether or not you're getting paid for it. Half-assing it isn't gonna get anyone anywhere.

Well shoot. If circumstances don't change I may just be out of the tournament.

Wait, Doji. You aren't a judge? MODS! MODS! MODS!

So they moved Sigil from the commerce to Barton Town. No warning, no explanation.

I am not pleased.

Cultivating mass man too huh?

I've been downing cretine like a mofukka.

Why is cretine becoming such a big thing?


The whole of it. Once you take it, you need to work out.
It also gives you energy to do so for longer.

Follow the work out up with a protein shake and you'll find yourself getting stronger quicker.

I have heard nothing but complaints about the judges competence from everyone.

I think this would be a good way to dispel a large amount of that lack of faith.
If I were a judge, I would gladly post the scores and why I gave them.


It is not about pride in work or judge trust at the end of the day.

Posting scores public opens the door for people to go into the score thread, see a score of a buddy or fellow fighter, then complain about it and how they feel it is because and how that s**t is not fair because . Another reason is for example, let's say I was still a judge and had to grade your fight. I decided in my parting comments to point out a few things in your role-playing I wish for you to correct or at least pay attention to for your next round. Your next round starts and suddenly people who seen your last score sheet are making comments non-stop about how in their opnion your role-playing has not changed it and how "that ******** better get docked for this JUDGE JUDGE". Mitigating bullshit by keeping stuff private is the best thing, imo.

At least this way if someone wants to post their score public for discussion they can. Those who wish to keep their results and feedback hidden can do so.

I understand where you are coming from though and it is a noble idea. smile A judge should take pride in their work but if modding taught me anything people will always complain about any decision because of something something. It better to take pride in your work and avoid unnecessary scrutiny.

Also creatine lmao

Also if the judging gets done by the end of the week I am giving everyone involved a gold star.


That's a valid point.

However, I do think since we're all growing up and we're all adults, we aren't going to be putting up with the nonsense of some socially inept c**t. Gaia RP is becoming more and more of a joint community and people should take note to avoid constantly ******** people.
There's less and less room for people to be a little b***h about things.

Now tell me why creatine makes you laugh your a** off.

It's a sort of joke from the GTB IV from a faux pas on Vin's part regarding fight grading that led to KB losing a fight he should have (and technically did) won.
