Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh crap, I forgot to watch Castle.

hivemind - stuff at a silent auction. What is your experience for what it goes for on average? 50% of stated value? more? less?

Gosh values seem so wildly varying to me. Certain things go way over value, others are absurdly underbid. I don't know. The one thing I've seen is that GCs tend to go for their face value or maybe a smidge over.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Start the items at 1/3 to 1/2 their value, and if there are no bids for a good long time, cut 'em down further. It's hard to predict, people will get crazy competitive on random stuff and other things you think will go for a lot... don't. IME. ...that may not have been the question you asked, but I hope it's helpful.

People, "Gus Raley" of TVTropes wants to be my friend on Facebook. If this is a joke by one of you all, WTF? And if this is real, seriously?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I got the same request. Not amused.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Same thing. I was thinking he was lurking, saw Suela's story, and wanted attention?

Because books.

Me, too. I don't get it.

Suela's story, Sophia? What do you mean?

She posted a link about a pseuocide (unless I dreamt it) saying "not to give anyone were-monkey flashbacks, but")

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got the request too. Do we want to delegate someone to "friend" him or what?
