Please, if you are not staff, don't answer questions in this thread, even if you think you know the answer. Also, please take complains about bans, question about TL as a site, etc to the Website Feedback Forum. |

Important Question:
I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend (Yay for me). I have a problem though. I am getting the ring custom made and it will take about four weeks. We are heading on an amazing vacation to South Africa on friday and next week we will be staying at a 5 star private game reserve. I was planning on asking her there but the ring won't be finished before we leave.
So question is this...
Should I ask her to marry me when we are somewhere truly special but without a ring, or should I wait till we get back? I won't be able to match the place here but I will have the ring.
TLDR: Place/Occasion > Ring OR Ring > Place/Occasion
I am leaning towards asking her without the ring mainly because the ring will last forever whilst the occasion will only happen once. But I know girls are somewhat irrational about engagement rings and the last thing I want is for her to feel like the proposal was underwhelming. The ring will be done by the time we arrive home so we can pick it up as soon as we land.
Without special circumstances i always refused to propose without the ring. I also got my partner's custom made and i waited months just so i could do it with the real thing.
But you are staying at a 5 star game reserve - find some beautiful sunrise and pop that fucking question!!!!! Get some cheap shit from Diva and put it in a ring box. In this situation, the ring can always come later but that experience is once in a lifetime
edit: Holy crap - and CONGRATULATIONS! I'm a hopeless romantic so people being love makes me so happy =)

Get her one of these:

That'll hold her over.

Thanks guys, that was one of the options I was thinking of. I'm actually going to video the stones and setting before we go so I can show her. I think a cheesy obviously fake ring will probably make her laugh and defuse the tension from the lack of something substantial 
The good news is that I got my bonus figure today and it is much bigger than I expected so I can go for quality stones. It took me longer to decide on what I wanted which is why I am in this pickle. I went from a standard single stone solitaire setting (classic) to a central diamond with a sapphire on each side (her favourite colour is blue). It's different but still classy.
I think I'll stop posting in this thread though. Don't want to clog it up. If you want to chat, send me a PM. Thanks again guys!

Do all the staff mainly play BW/SC2 or do some main other games?
I see Neo basically heads the LoL general discussion but just curious as to what other games are on the list

OMG BLOG IT NOW NOW NOW !!!!!
Also, IMO the sooner you pop the question the better. If Mafia is any proof, you can't keep a secret for more than 6 days. :D :D

Quite a few play Dota 2
Safe to assume many will play D3 too I think !

I go back and forth between BW and LoL. But I'm pretty rubbish at both.

I play loads of other games, and most more than SC2 and I haven't touched BW for about 2 years. (games I've played as much as or more than SC2 this last year: Civ V, Shogun TW 2, Dragon Age 2, Skyrim, Mass Effect 2, Cities XL, Minecraft, Bejeweled, Tropico (4?), LoL and I know I'm forgetting some games... oh well they were probably some crappy tychoon games... I'm a sucker for them)
But I've watched way more starcraft than anything I've played. Probably about as much as I've played games in total.

What was the last thread/post on tl that rekindled or at least bolstered your faith in humanity and our corner of the internet?

Oh shit! That may be the best thing to have happened ever and, unless I'm totally wrong, Hot_Bid is in second.

Who is the banling/blue name/red name/writer etc. with the worst moderation history or are you all angels? 
As a member of staff, can you change your own mod history?
