A bit of a thread jack I know, but this got me to thinking about a problem that's been happening in my life, and I'd like some opinions…
To put it simply, a friend of mine told me that she is interested in another friend of mine who happens to be dating someone that used to be married to my friend's ex-fiancee, and wanted to know what I thought about it. So anyway I spoke to my friend and told him what my other friend thought about him and he seemed surprised but genuinely interested. The problem is that I also have an interest in my friend, so I don't know whether I should be trying to help them get together, or whether I should be doing my best to stop my friend getting with my friend when it's me who has wanted the friend for a long time. It doesn't make it any easier that the friend's partner is also a good friend of mine, so I feel like if I'm helping out any of my friends, all it's going to do is hurt my friends. My friend is coming over tonight to talk about it, but I'm not sure what to say to them… can I please get some advice? Thanks.

Actually yes, these rings determine how old the tree is. |

Speaking of rings and trees, Lord of the Rings has one ring that ruled them all and trees that walk and throw big rocks. And Arwen is hot! |

New WWJD tip - Post a news article:
Why spend all your time writing a long post when you can simply post a news arrticle. This method is best used if you quote one piece of the article at different times in a thread.

Some more tricks of the masters are as follows:
Sign Up For All Interactive Dynasties - The interactive dynasty provides a wealth of opportunity for posting small quips without doing much work other than scanning the write-up for your handle, reading two sentences, then commenting and your character's pseudo prowess or lack thereof. Create an Interactive Dynasty - Here's the money. By spending some time and creating an interactive dynasty that updates regularly, you can chew through post count quickly. Best of all, you can continue posting without using the "Dola" trick because, dammit, it's your dynasty. Additionally, you get post count value out of creating ambiguous rules that require dynasty participants to ask questions that can often be answered with one-word answers. |

A dynasty that involves letting FOFC members play the roles of some of the AI avatars in whatever game you are writing the dynasty on. For example, some have run TCY dynasties with the FOFC members as college players, and someone ran a "Combat Mission" dynasty with FOFC players controlling some of the units.

Dola -
Another trick is to vote in every poll, then post what you voted for without adding any commentary as to why you voted that way. |

New posting secret:
The Hell Atlantic - Write a post about a subject you are not really angry about, but pretend to do so out of the sake of controversy. Then insult that person's sexuality, personality, culture, and hoagie to pad that post count. Very tricky tactic and only the masters can handle it without getting banned.
