Goodbye, old quote.
You've been with me and my TL.net account for 5 years. It's time to go our separate ways.
"Sleep is for the weak, and I am weak"
This was inspired by a T-shirt sold by a local Princeton coffee shop, which read "Sleep is for the weak" - a macho-nerd T-shirt of sorts. I was somewhat rebellious towards the on-campus norms at the time (including being sober for the entire 4 years there), and decided to poke fun of it on my Facebook profile (I love sleeping). This quote was on my Facebook profile from 2004, and appeared on my TL.net profile when I joined this site in 2006.
Travian Coordinates
Travian was perhaps the first major role I played with the TL community, as fellow TL'ers and I grinded out a year long battle to the top of the server. (Yes, we won.) Neo and I, along with several others, stuck it out to the end even though we know we really had nothing to gain from the victory. It was for pride. TL pride. My relationship with Neo is one of the closest I have with any TL member, despite not talking with him frequently at all. My closest friendships have been made from persevering through mutual suffering (deathly physical problem sets...), and Travian was certainly no exception. I still have lasting respect for Anihc, Locked, oneofthem, legionairre, b_unnies, among others.
New Quote - Personal Site
I've replaced the quote with a link to my personal page. I've been thinking about online and RL identity a lot lately, and I've decided to fuse them all together (even though I have a reputation for being a bitter elitist online and a happy fellow IRL - hi Chill & Kennigit!).
It's an "up the ante" to myself.
I'll up the ante one more by showing you my other online identities (which I'm fusing together).

My relationship with the web and with TL.net has changed over the last 5 years. I hope that I can continue contributing to it in my own way.

Bookmarked.
I've heard a bit of Travian, nothing too much though to be honest.
Interested about your new site :3

As for the site, it's currently just a blog + crossposts of my Quora posts. (not sure what it'll end up being in the long run)
My goal is to only produce meaningful material that is either (a) informative, or (b) thought provoking.

"I made one of the deepest relationships I've ever had with this game"
"Don't play it"
Hm...
Is the twitter account related to the blog or just your personal twitter?
edit: should figure out before asking, nevermind I figured it out~

The game sucks.
The relationships were gold, and were a function of the quality of TL users.
The twitter account is my personal RL twitter and my online persona twitter. It's all going to be that one account.

Exactly. Bad game, no skill involved, but addicting. I guess one can learn something about game design from it though...
My posts are a gag by Sonuvbob ^^
edit: oh wtf Torte what is going on with your posts lol. Did you play a grudgematch and lose all of them like Fakesteve?

When did you graduate? Never saw you around campus, though I've heard fond stories from dsh.
Is this coffee shop you speak of Small World? I need to exit my cave sometimes -_- I sleep too much.

What is Travian essentially?

Perhaps you can do what I do, and have two quotes, separated by "|"? Then they can co-exist, the old and the new, the site and the joke, forever together|and yet apart.

I was class of 2007, so I don't think we even shared a year on campus together.
(is dsh on wallstreet now? )
Yea I believe it's Small World. (I've never actually been there myself, since I'm a tea drinker)

its my older brother in a conversation about my driving habits in the past...something about a speeding ticket on a really windy road (there usually arent cops there lol)...i think it was almost 5x the speed limit (posted being 25mph)

We need to start a quote worship centre of sorts, with haji being like a Kim Il Sung/Kim Jong Il.
"OH THE MOST GREAT AND GLORIOUS OF ALL LEADERS WHAT DO YOU, WITH YOUR GREAT BRILLIANT MIND THINK OF MY LOWLY SCRUB SIGNATURE?!? I COME BEFORE YOU WITH THE UTMOST HUMILITY MY MASTER AAARGHHHRAAWWA"
Sorry, i've been watching too many documentaries recently

He's working at SIG in Philadelphia. He'll be at IPL if you're planning on going!
I've only been to Small World when USG hosts those free coffee+dessert events. I unfortunately lived at Forbes/Spelman for my first three years, so I don't wander very far D:

He is a sharp buy so I'm sure he's doing well, though I rarely see him around these parts of the woods anymore.

So Tortes postcount is actually the ESPORTS Dow Jones ? Oh noes. ESPORT is falling ! We need better products with at least an A- rating from the ICCUP ESPORTS rating agency.

I always quote "Sleep is for the week, and I am week." , and no-one ever understands. Thanks though, it's thoroughly entered my lexicon.
