Crimson Longinus's latest activity

If I'm playing football and then the ball goes off the pitch, have I stopped playing football? If I'm playing football, but I don't...

I found FitD (via Scum and Villainy) to feel a little too much like a "writer's room" -- that is, when playing we (as a group) were...
