Could you please change the subject.

The election is too close to call! The uncertainty is driving me nuts! Though it appears that the polls are not taking into consideration new voters and student voters.

I cant wait until Nov. 3rd when the recounts and lawsuits begin. *sigh*

Yes, electoral-vote.com now switched the data 50 points the other way and is favoring Kerry. (This site was a couple votes off my prediction last night) Race2004.net says that no candidate has enough votes yet. (These two sites only show the most recent poll) Here, you can see my map, and predictions.

Kerry wants to get conscription back... but Bush doesn't...

Changing the subject again before I run to DC and throttle all the politicians.

I found a really cool game yesterday. It's basically a collaborative story maker thingy. You pay tokens to create characters, places, traits, etc. and then roll dice in a very simple manner (compared to D&D type stuff anyway ) to determine resolution of conflicts. It's an incredibly versatile system, allowing you to create everything from murder mysteries to soap operas involving pink aliens to Martian cowboys who ride giant mutant mice, and have it all in a more or less organized form. Info & examples of play available at:

It costs $15 US, not sure about other countries although I know it's available in Germany at least. Although the original rules use 10-sided dice, normal 6 siders reportedly work just fine.

And no I'm not on their payroll. I just really really want that game, and I thought a few of you might be interested too heh.

Are you sure that Kerry wants the draft? I know the recent draft bill was sponsored by a couple of Democrats, but that doesn't mean that Kerry favored it.

I never heard Kerry say anything about supporting a draft. In fact I think he said he was against it. He wants more troops out there than we currently have but I think his plan is to use incentives of some sort.

alc003- that electoral-vote.com site totally made my day yesterday. Thanks for posting it. Today more states are solidifying in Kerry's direction. That makes me happy. One more day! Everyone go out and vote!

Onyx- that sounds interesting. Have you ever played Toon? It's a sortof open-ended gaming that can be really hilarious, but there's tables and rolls and characters, and it's more of a typical RPG.

I started playing Fable the other day. It's an action RPG for Xbox and it's one of the funnest games I've ever played. The graphics make it feel like an immersive Dragon's Lair, with great lighting effects. You can create and grow into any kind of character- either good or evil, and get haircuts, facial hair, tattoos, and wear any clothes you can find. The battle system is almost exactly like the great system that Nintendo created with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time but I think they actually improved on it. And the magic system is really cool- your magic can actually make you a better swordsman. And the interaction with the people in the game is almost like the Sims. You try to get fame from your deeds and other characters can fall in love with you, and you can get married and buy a house, or get drunk, dress like a woman, and watch as people laugh at you when you approach. Fantastic game.

I heard about Fable, and am dying to play it. I think I'm going to ask for it for Christmas.

As to the election, Bush is going to win. (Imma is going to make sure of it muahahahaha)

Filthy humans! It matters little who wins your pathetic election. For I, ZIM, will soon rule your planet, and rain DOOM DOOM DOOM down upon it!
