Because every time someone falls in the ice and snow, it is undoubtedly the queen's fault XD

Now I wanna know who fell while ice skating and tried to sue the queen.

The Queen, being the sovereign of Canada, is the one being defended in any lawsuits against the states.

So in jurisprudence, a case will often look like "So and So vs. Her Majesty the Queen"

Yeah, I just find it kinda funny that they have to put all that in there for official reasons.

One time at an event at work there was a photographer and we all had to sign disclosure forms that said something to the extent that we were giving the queen permission to take photos of us through the representation of this person.

Don't you sometimes feel pressured to do things you might not want to do, though? Saying no to the queen is a bit daring :D

Not really.  ....although I had to swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen when I started working for the government so maybe I am just one of her mindless zombies now  :D

But I trust RL is being good to you lately?  Business (and in its original connotation of busy-ness) happens. 

The Queen is the titular head of state for New Zealand as well, which still sort-of blows my mind.

...wondering if I just stumbled across a troll paper or if they just didn't think anyone was actually going to read the paper.

Quote
the existing concepts about the Habitable Zone completely overlooked the risk posed by Zombie attacks.

Quote
We propose indeed a new biomarker completely overlooked in previous studies: beer. We argue this biomarker is universal: everyone drinks beer and, contrary to wine and vodka, non-alcoholic beer does exist. Another robust piece of evidence is that beer is cheaper than water and sodas in most parts of Earth.

Wait a minute...

Oh, absolutely.  Just the combination of being onsite at a client and not having my laptop most of the time, and then going out to dinner every single night.

Heyo, I've been keeping an eye on /tg/ and the SSSS PnP RPG.
Here's the core rules now, it's about 75 pages long. It's a thing, read it! I mean, if you want to.

It's a thing indeed! Holy moly, somebody has put some time, probably a lot of time, into this. It will be interesting to see where this goes and if it catches on. It will take a while to digest all 75 pages.

The threads have kind of been lagging lately desu. Have fa/tg/uys lost interest again in an SSSS RPG?

A few threads ago, there was an agreement to stick to ~1 a week on saturdays. This attempt has certainly got further then the previous abortive attempt. But yeah, it's going on slowly. As long as it continues to be updated, I'm happy.
It'll be slow until they get another cute picture of Reynir and can debate how it affects their sexuality.
Or one of Lalli, or Emil. Frankly, anything sort of discussion that should go on /cm/.

Yeah, somebody clearly has two obsessions: RPGs and SSSS.


Also, whoops, forgot the GM's handbook. Which, in usual /tg/ fashion, puts pressure towards actual RP and not being murderhobos.
