Between ponies and the occasional argument, WYM is still as active as ever.
Seems that nothing has changed between now, and my last post. I'm not all that surprised, honestly. Few spats here and there, but what else do you expect when you have so many smart people in one place? Egos will always get in the way, and not a soul will care if they hurt someone's feelings or not.
Hn. Maybe once in a while, that rare person will care.
I think Karma needs some assistance, and maybe a long metal pole with one sharpened end. Deflate some of those overbearing egos.
Bah. This post is probably not going to make much sense to you all. I think I need some sleep...

Long Day is Long
Observations on the community, Midnight of the 30th.
People I have not seen in months have been dropping by. Some of these are good, some of these are bad. Everyone seems... A bit on edge, to be honest. I can almost sense several friendships straining, including a few of my own. I try to keep face. It isn't easy.
People have stopped trying to force on topic, this I am glad about. I enjoy the bit of OT as much as the next, but when we're discussing the same things time after time... I get rather tired of it. We need new canon.
I'm kind of glad whenever we even get a troll in the chat. It's fun to play with them, y'see... Gives me something to do when even roleplaying and looking at art isn't enough. Late nights are cut back with school returning... Hope Jad doesn't put everything right in the middle of my Finals and stuff. I kind of need to pay attention to some of them, if not all of them...
Within Hubris is a bit more active again. Wonder how the trend will go, counting down until the 10th. I know I've been checking in a lot more, though that might have something in part to do with the MLP:FiM thread.
Hah. Ponies. Listen to me, I've gone soft.

Countdown: 11 Days Remain
I'm not exactly sure what I want to put here. I am not the brightest, the most clever, or the fastest of all the people gathered to fight against whatever caused the eventual loss of Jad, Alex, and many others. I do not view myself as important, nor do I think this blog is absolutely nessisary.
I think I will just dedicate it to my thoughts on what's going on in the community. My strong point has always been observations of people, how they interact, predicting what they will do next. Of course, I'm also going to put down first impressions of new events in the game, and the occasional pony reference.
For those of you who do not know me, I am known in the community as Yuki-Onna. I am the admin of The Fourth Day Forums, and I have been playing since December 7th, 2010. Not very long compared to Sheik or Astartus, but I'm proud of what I have accomplished on my own.
So what am I going to do with this post, besides rave about myself? (I won't really. That would be terribly self absorbed.)
Well, we got ten days to sit on our duffs and look at the clock. Something like eleven days and nine hours until 6:00 PM that day, if I remember correctly. What do I honestly expect? Some OOC posts, leading slowly into IC like what we got with the Fake Trailer.
What I hope to take away from this new trailer? More stuff to strengthen my analysis of the Hubris House, as I've come to call it. It bothers me just how my perspective of it shifted when I went back to look at it again, and I want to see more of it.
With any luck, the IC will be something interesting. It's been too long since I've been really afraid of anything, BEN, The Father, Kelbris... I want to remember that fear.
In closing, I'll try to update this once a day, maybe twice, if I feel like writing. Mostly just observations of how the community is going through this. Maybe fireworks will go off. I'm hoping for something interesting o report.
