So those will have to wait in line. Also, is it wrong to want college level lectures on the trivial this much? [[Because us Dopers are impartial here, right?]] ---

I’m so sad I missed the signups for this! Hi everybody I haven’t seen in years and years! (I’m Renata on Giraffe and was on Idlemafia as well, for anyone who might know me more from there.) This thread has brought back so many memories. Especially that Malazan game. Remember, Story? And the three girls and Guiri? (I think it was Cookies and Sinjin along with me? Can’t quite remember.) That was so much painful fun. If any more help is needed with hosting, please let me know. Otherwise I guess I’ll see you in the forbidden thread!
