Old Skool Kickin' Hivemind Thread Boi!

Fun jobs usually don't pay well, though. I know for a fact that fast-food workers, grocery store workers, etc make significantly more money than I did doing AI Research as a faculty member at the University of Maryland over the summer...Hopefully MIT will pay me more if I get a UROP here, but I doubt it.

Speaking of "con crud". How was DragonCon? I could have gone as it turned out. I lost the temp job I was working. I didn't go because after two weeks of 12 hours shifts that I spent most of on my feet, my back hurt REALLY BAD.

It went pretty well. All of us had fun. I went around after my duty hours taking pics of people in costume. Saw the costume contest, which was fun to watch. Did alot of walking around all 4 days. My friend Richard had a blast, it being his first time going. He didn't like all the walking and waiting on elevators but he did get art jobs out of the deal!

The con had to toss out this guy who tried to do a crazed postal worker with "explosives" strapped on him because he scared a mother and her kid. I briefly saw him after he'd gotten told by security to leave.

Saw two Wookiees walking around. One of which went in to have something signed by, I presume, Anne McCaffrey, who is a sweet lady. Her son's nice too. They're great to deal with! Even if her fans are a pain in the ass!

Good for you. I so happy for you.

I played Friday night. My sorcerer got the killing blow with his dagger on the displacer beast the party had been fighting. Our fighter was pissed. Her player wasn't too happy either.

I played Friday night as well. Played my wizard. Which reminds me, gotta go find 3 spells for her spellbook.... knowledge swapping is good....

I made slightly less per hour and got less hours in computer support, but that job was a hell of a lot more fun.

With my Telepath, the GM decided to pit us against a dungeon full of only undead and vermin (mostly undead), so I could only use my dagger thanks to their immunity to mind-affecting spells. This was made even worse by the DR on the zombies and skeletons. Nonetheless, I somehow managed to hit for 1 or 2 damage and finish off the monsters, killing like 16 monsters with a total of 28 damage. Our fighter also got a bit annoyed

No, I'm sorry, could you say it slower, louder, and enunciate more?

No

Strangely enough, in my group the players are just happy that the monster is dead; they don't quibble about who dealt the killing blow.

Of course, I've used a lot of positive and negative reinforcement to condition them that cooperation is key to survival. May have something to do with it.

No

Then why ask in the first place?
