It was 10 years ago today...

[Spinward Scout]

That Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.

Wait, that's not right.

10 years ago today I signed up for a really cool web forum called Citizens of the Imperium.

And it's been a wild ride ever since.

There have been up and downs, and I even got banned once.

But it's been very cool getting to know all of you and trading Traveller ideas, and jokes, and stories...

Sincerely,

Spinward Scout,

Only banned once? You're just not trying

(Still a year until my 10th anniversary)

Well congrats I would be closer to 10 years if I would include my time as Zaphod. But still 8 years is not bad more a lurker I guess than a poster but do post from time to time.

Congrats on the 10th anniversary from a relative newbie!

Does this mean you've earned a Starburst Tie-tack with a blue rhinestone on it?

That's about what I got last time I had a 10th anniversary.

 

[Spinward Scout]

Thanks!

How many hours spent playing Classic traveller

Ok so I have played traveller for 34 years now, lets assume twice a month (probably an underestimate) for an average of 5 hours a session (not counting prep time as ref)

therefore 34x12x2x5= 4080 hours= 170 days= 24 weeks

I'm 47 years old = 2444weeks

So why does my wife moan traveller only takes up 1% of my life

By comparison my degree took 90 42 hour weeks= 3780hours!!

:devil:

Is it time to start telling off-colored Vargr jokes?

 

[Capt. Blacklight]

Is it time to start telling off-colored Vargr jokes?

You mean there are on color Vargar jokes?

I didn't know Vargar could tell the difference

So this Vargr limps into a bar, all beat up. Ear torn, muzzle bleeding.

The bartender looks and says...

Roflmao!

When I tell Rin Tin Tin jokes at the table, my teen players give me blank looks. But Lassie jokes they still get.
