  1. I was just accosted by a homeless woman at Goodwill. I went to drop off a bunch of stuff, and she tried to take it from me before I could give it to the Goodwill people. When I handed it to the Goodwill person, she then followed me out to the car, where I was getting more stuff, and then got INTO the car (it was a Zipcar and the doors all unlock when you use your card to open the doors) and started berating me for not treating her well enough because she's homeless.

    When she finally got out...

  2. Thank you, everyone, for chiming in with your thoughts. Community participation and brainstorming is what helps make things better Just to be clear, we have no plans to drop the Top Sims Contest, and there's not really any impetus to radically alter the program, either. I was merely asking if anyone had anything in particular that was vexing them about the contest that we need to fix, or if there's any great ideas for increasing participation which we haven't thought of yet. Please feel free to drop other thoughts into this thread!
  3. As we close the 2012 Top Sims Contest, I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for improving the contest for 2013? Are there any suggestions on getting more people involved in each round of voting? Ways we can cut down on the number of sims people have to vote on/read each round? Are there important changes that we have to make to ensure the contest is more fair, or more representative? Let's hear your thoughts!
  4. Just two and a half hours until this voting closes

  8. EVERY TIME I take a nap, I'm like "Wake me up in an hour and a half. Don't let me sleep more than an hour and a half," and Hank Hedland is like "Okay, an hour and a half!"

    And then, I wake up like three and a half hours later, and I'm like, WHAT HAPPENED? And Hank's all "You told me you wanted to keep sleeping!" And I'm like "THAT WASN'T ME! That was the evil nap monster who controls my body when I'm asleep, and I've told you a thousand times NOT TO TRUST THAT MONSTER!" And Hank's like, "Wel...

  9. Spent the morning preparing for our trip to Fargo, only to then have it cancelled. Spent another 1.5h trying to find another flight, but nothing available until Monday from anywhere within driving distance. We are devastated.

  10. Oh, you want us to buy more guns? It should not surprise anyone that NRA's recommendations are not just dangerous but self-serving.

  11. Now is not the time to discuss ... cutting Social Security benefits, Mr. Obama.

  12. I got on the wroooong train. Misrouted onto the wrong track and now it has to change directions. Oh BART... at least you're still twice as good as WMATA.

  17. You can see the list by going into the Hall of Fame forum Each round (two weeks long) people submit the sims, and we choose a winner. then those go to a run-off round where the staff votes. The winners of those three run-off rounds are who we're voting on now!
  18. The guy who plays McCoy apparently said, in an interview, that "Cumberbatch's Gary Mitchell..." is really well done or something to that effect, so...
  19. Hrm -- don't know about this. I'll reserve judgment until I see it, but I think this comment on YouTube is pretty spot-on:

    THAT. JUST. HAPPENED.

  21. This is it, the final round of voting for 2012's Top Sim. The winner of this vote will be considered the Top Sim of 2012 -- one of the most highly coveted writing awards in our community. Voting closes automatically at 23:59, December 26, 2012, Pacific Time. These sims were submitted by members of the community. A vote was conducted every two weeks, and the winner of each round was sent to one of three run-off rounds which were judged by a staff panel of five members. The winner of each run-off round is listed below and those are the sims your choosing from. Please read all three sims before choosing the one you like the best in the poll above. Your choice will be public, so that we can ensure that one ship's crew is not "stuffing the ballot box." If we find that any one crew is trying to force someone from their crew to be the winner, that sim will be disqualified and the ship will be ineligible to participate in the contest for all of 2013. For a vote to win the final round, at least 10% of its votes must come from a ship other than the one the sim was created on. That does not mean that you can't vote for a sim that was originally simmed on your vessel. You just shouldn't vote for a sim from your ship simply because it's by your crew-mate. Instead, choose the sim that you believe is the best written, most engaging, and embodies the principles of good simming that this community values.

  24. If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal. I can call you Betty, and Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al.
