First of all, thank you very much to everyone who took part in the second ever Reddit Romance Club community survey! We mods were absolutely amazed by the high number of responses, so thank you for making this such a vibrant and engaged community! You all rock.submitted by LauraVi to RomanceClub [link] [comments]
After grinding the (many) numbers, here are the results, which we hope you will find as interesting as we did.
Just a note: this survey was opened at the end of May and closed shortly after the June release, hence its questions only barely included Legend of the Willow and did not include Dracula: a Love Story. For this reason, we have not counted the (very few) replies that have been given in the "other" boxes mentioning characters that were not yet available as Lis/known as LIs in the May release (think Leo, Vlad, Kazu etc) as this would have not been fair to those who had answered the survey before the June update.
Having said that... buckle up for the ride! Lots of interesting info ahead.
💎Question 1: Which RC story is your favourite?https://preview.redd.it/rlq02ktm0y951.png?width=1890&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ac99dcf156eba4a1e7a25e118cedb51ed21847c
No one will be surprised to find out that Heaven's Secret is the top story in this community right now, chosen by over 45% of the respondents. Our nostalgic heart is very happy, however, to see some old favs still make the podium - albeit trailing significantly behind. Moonborn and Shadows of Saintfour score second and third place, only separated by a handful of votes at around 11%, but newer release Chasing You is already breathing on their neck at 10.7%.
A healthy mix of new and old stories follows: Sails in the fog is in fifth place with 7.8% of the preferences, while Legend of the willow, after only a few episodes, already scores a very good sixth place, in a tie with Seduced by the rhythm at 4.3% of the votes. Queen in 30 days is seventh with 3.5% and My Hollywood Story is eighth with 1.2%.
Last place goes to Wave Patrol at 0.4%, which sadly doesn't come as a shock given the general feeling that the romantic/reputation points system was too complicated.
💎Question 2: Who are your favourite LIs?https://preview.redd.it/x17lqdnw3y951.png?width=1020&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d560448445a77f5f076fcce43358b1dbb94c094
HS being the most popular story unsurprisingly propels some of its main LIs onto the podium with supersonic speed.
Bad boys rule, with Lucifer taking the crown with a whopping 65.7% of the votes and Alexander (CY) taking silver at 49.3%. The nice guys are not too far behind, though, with Dino in third place at 47.4% and Max (MB) only just about missing the podium in fourth place at 45.3%. We go back to bad boys with Brandon (SBR) in fifth, but soft spoken Sam (CY) is ready to balance things out again with his sixth place.
The most surprising result on top of the rankings is Jake (WP) who makes the top ten with a very healthy seventh place. He is really hard work, but obviously we all think he's totally worth it!
Old favourites Michael (SOS) and Victor (MB) still hold onto the hearts of their fans by scoring eight and ninth place respectively. First among the women - and the only female LI to make the top 10 - is the delightfully devilish Mimi (HS).
Waves' mate Sebastian misses the top ten only by a hair, placing himself in 11th place with a healthy 20.7%. Bodyguard Adam is the most favourite LI in Q30 in 12th place, followed by a row of SOS boys, with John, Derek and Aaron scoring very similar percentages in 13th, 14th and 15th place respectively. Sweetheart Ray is no longer the most favourite LI to come out of MHS, as in this round he ends up in a tie for 16th place with none other than his almost polar opposite, rough and ready Captain Jeff.
Leonard from Q30 (17th place) ties with Cherry from SOS but at least he beats his brother Richard (20th place) in the heart of the readers - and we all know that he'd be pretty pleased with that. Claire (SBR) is the second most favourite female LI in 18th place, while mysterious Luke (SOS) completes the top 20 in 19th place.
Here are the rest of the Lis who placed lower than the top 20:
(21) Carlos (SBR) 9.2%
(22) Justin (SBR) 8.6%
(23) Benny Bart (MB) 8.4%
(24) Tarino (MHS) 8.1%
(25) Gino (MHS) tied with Stephanie (SOS) at 7.8%
(26) Dante (MB) 6.9%
(27) Andy (HS) 6.3%
(28) Mike (MHS) 6.1 %
(29) Alek (WP) tied with Dante (CY) at 5.9%
(30) Kayla (WP) 5.3 %
(31) Alex (MHS) 3.9%
(32) Chris (SIF) 3.4%
(33) Frances (MB) 3.2%
(34) William (SIF) 3.1%
(35) Trisha (MB) 2.6%
(36) Charles (SBR) 2.1%
(37) Orlando (SBR) 1.8%
(38) Chris the bodyguard (MHS) tied with Adi (HS) at 1.6%
(39) Ellen (MHS) tied with Manta (SIF) at 1.2%
(40) Masked Man (SOS) 1.1%
(41) Ellia (CY) 0.8%
(42) Mermaid (SIF) 0.6%
(43) Simon (MB) 0.4%
(44) Charles (WP) tied with Emma (Q30) and Jackie (SIF) at 0.2%.
These lower rankings include some LIs that, based on the discussions we see on the subreddit, we were not expecting to get as many votes as they did - and vice versa. Dante from CY has more votes than Orlando from SBR? And Chris the bodyguard (MHS) beat the Masked Man (SOS)? Say what... Also: Jackie (SIF) definitely deserved a lot more votes! We might have to start a hashtag or something.
💎Question 3: Which non-LI character you'd romance in a heartbeat?https://preview.redd.it/vd1u59tk10a51.png?width=863&format=png&auto=webp&s=df9e41d03e7af6b60396f96dbfed685b8e425b8e
Here are the top 15 most desired LIs in this community:
To absolutely no one's surprise, Geralt (HS) takes the top spot with 39.1% of the readers eager to unbuckle his sexy neck belts at the first occasion. Dreamy Xander from MB takes a very respectable second place with 23.2%: we will forever long for his full lips and crisp linen suit. Another MB favourite, Prince Ethan Wood completes the podium with his Matrix-style coat and intense eyes, but sassy and sexy demon Austie (HS) is not very far behind in fourth place.
Vampires Dustin Chase in fifth place and - although at quite a distance - Sophia in sixth join the ranks of the many LIs who sadly never were in MB. Cute lifeguard Zoey from WP ranks seventh, and no worries if you don't remember who she is: her screen time was about 5 minutes total - but enough to end up in a tie with angelic mentor Misselina from HS. Frenemy Candy from SOS makes eighth place, while evil stunner Monica from MB clutches ninth. To complete the top 10 is no one else but grumpy Angel Fencio (HS) - we obviously all want him to show us his collection of talismans - tied with Bean from MHS, who sadly had the audacity to get married to someone else.
In 11th place is SOS great friend Bobby, whose bravery in the face of untold horrors gave him a special place in all our hearts, in a tie with another WP lifeguard, Ryan (yeah, we have little recollection of him as well). Party-loving and OSHA nemesis Anthony Wood (MHS) is in 12th place, while scheming yet gorgeous Julia (Q30) takes 13th.
In 14th place is no one else but our dear Sailor Bobby - an option that was added as humorous but instead raked up a fairly respectable 14% of votes. As they say, if you are not handsome you should be handy, and no one is a better dress maker than Bobby! Plus, how can we forget when he disguised himself as a tribesman to save Adelaide from becoming soup? He ends up in a tie with a fan favourite, sweet angel Sammy (HS). Completing the top-15 is another HS angel, the ethereal Leeloo.
This question also had an "other" box, where people could add names that were not included in the list. For all those (quite a few!) people who wrote Dino (HS), Sam (CY) and Orlando (SBR)... we choose to believe you misread the question, but if you didn't... oh boy, have we got good news for you!
A few people also wished for Rachel (CY) and Hiro (SBR) to be LIs, so that's another happy ending there as per the latest release.
Some also wished for Diego, Baron Samedi and Jackie from SIF, and Joseph, Christian and Gustavo from SBR to be LIs, and we are happy to say that, although their routes might be a bit hidden and not all of them can be endgame LIs, you can most definitely already hookup with/romance all of them. Check the wiki for details!
A few people asked for the coffee shop owner in CY... we have the feeling that we know who at least one of them is, and truth be told, that beard is dreamy so we can see their point! More bearded LIs please!
Those who asked for Fyr... far from us to kink shame here, but let's just hope he turns out to be human at some point! We also have some Seraph Crowley (HS) and Angel Mora (MB) fans amongst us, as clear proof that no one is ever too old for love, plus WP Agent Phillips' manbun has also scored him some eager fans.
But that one person who asked for Sean from MB... we hope for your sake you are also about 12 years old because otherwise you need an old priest, a young priest and also a police officer.
💎Question 4: Which LI do you think is overrated, and why?https://preview.redd.it/nea26zpyj2a51.png?width=855&format=png&auto=webp&s=dfeefda0ad627357d4a76c4e2fef0f3b4a42deca
Here are the top 10 most overrated LIs in the game according to our community.
You know how they say never rest on your laurels? In a surprising (or maybe not?) twist of fate, some of the most liked LIs also topped the most overrated rankings, which goes to show that the beauty of our community is that we all have different (and sometimes opposite) opinions! So please let's not fight in the comments, haha.
The most overrated LI crown goes to Lucifer with the 21.9% of the votes, (which is almost as him winning an Oscar and a Razzie on the same evening) mostly due to his behaviour, which many identify as "toxic", "abusive" and "triggering". Many readers are "not comfortable with his choking/manhandling of MC", and his "lack of respect for personal space". "Being treated poorly in the hope to finally reach a hidden soft side does not seem worth it". Some think "he needs therapy", and wonder "why he's still behaving like a teen while he's possibly thousands of years old". A reason why many dislike him however, is also "the daily flood of fanart that features him": we might all be a little Lucifered-out here on the subreddit!
Tied in second place (pun fully intended!) are Alexander (CY) and Victor (MB) at 11.5%: the reasons given for both of them are surprisingly similar. Both boys are into BDSM but neither seem to "truly know the rules of consent" and people think that they "overstep boundaries a little too often". Both have been described as "creepy", "controlling" and "plain weird". Victor is also guilty of being "boring" ("I asked for a tea not for your life story in India!" - someone wrote). Both have been invited to "drop the Christian Grey act" and some people think "they would be arrested in real life if they acted this way". Oh boy.
Justin (SBR) completes this unflattering podium at 9.1% because of his "obnoxious outbursts" and the way he treats MC. He is "rude" and "mean" and people seem to be willing to "pay diamonds to put him in his place". Hopefully that won't be necessary!
Jake from WP is fourth at 7.8%, the main reason being that he is "too difficult to romance", "too expensive and still rude", and that "we have to solve the Da Vinci code to get him" - as someone hilariously wrote.
Bad boy Brandon (SBR) scores 6.1% of the votes landing fifth place, with the word "jerk" being the most recurrently used to describe him. He is "arrogant", a "vanishing act", and "he is never nice to MC for long". Come on, Brandon! You can do better!
Unclaimed Andy (HS) takes sixth place with 4.5% for being "jealous" and "annoying" - although we would maybe argue that he's not really that overrated, as far as we can see from the sub...
In seventh place is Max (MB) at 4.1% but we are confused by the person who mentioned "his abs being too perfect" as a reason for disliking him. Of course, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, so... fair enough? Other words used are "too boring", otherwise many people voted for him but did not really give a reason why. Max needs to work on his PR clearly!
Another tie in eight place sees Adam (Q30) and Dino (HS) score 3.7% of the votes. The Royal bodyguard is described as "a barbarian" and his behaviour as "possessive" and "controlling", while the main complaints against Dino seem for the vast majority to be directed to his looks: comments range from "his eyes look disproportionally big compared to his head" to "his hair seems separated from his face" to some people calling him a "Fabio lookalike". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder indeed!
Gruff Captain Jeff (MHS) makes ninth with 3.3%, mostly because of "the dodgy power dynamic between him and MC" and his "bullying": "I like puppies is not a free get out of jail card!" someone wrote. The fact that SOS Luke "drugged MC" bags him unanimously the tenth spot with 2.8% of the votes.
Not in the top ten but voted often enough to deserve a special mention are John (SOS) because of his "murderous tendencies", Derek (SOS) because "people only likes him for his glow-up", and Leonard (Q30) as "he took Emma's spot as the third main LI in the story" and "that was a cop out!" Plus "he seems so good only because the other two are the worst", someone quipped.
💎Question 5: Which LI do you think is underrated, and why?https://preview.redd.it/t29ndbj8n2a51.png?width=1007&format=png&auto=webp&s=c817ac45f70f9210476feda212af736ad18b8f17
Let's all cheer ourselves up with the opposite end of the spectrum! Here are the top 10 Lis that the community think deserve more love! The answers in this question were a lot more fragmented, with a lot of random characters getting very few votes, so the ranking percentages are significantly lower than in other questions.
A few people chose to write "every female LI" as this question's answer, and this is reflected in the rankings below, where way more female characters are mentioned compared to other questions. So RC, we need more screen time for badass, gorgeous, interesting female LIs!
HS still carries its weight as the most popular story, with three of its main LIs topping the rankings, all lamenting the fact that they are "unfairly overshadowed by bad boy Lucifer". Andy tops the list with 8.5% of the votes: players think he is "a really good guy", "sweet", "cute", "caring", "thoughtful". They admit "he has flaws" but he "will help if you need him" and "will stand up for those he cares about". It's nice to see him getting some love!
Devil cutie Mimi ends up as a close second with only a few votes of difference, at 8.1%. She is "cute", "badass", and "so cool". Many people wrote they don't usually romance female Lis but they chose her nonetheless because she is "a great LI in every way". Someone wishes RC would "flesh her out a little more" and "give her more screen time". Third spot is for Dino: a "sweetheart" and "the cutest man in the game".
Jake from WP nabs fourth place with the 4.9% of votes. Players thinks the focus is too much on how hard he is to pursue, while "he is totally worth it", because after the initial coldness he becomes "sweet", "kind" and "caring". His "love for his family is another big plus", and he is always "supportive", "mature", "loyal" and "intense". Someone also wrote that "his sex scenes are amazing".
Gorgeous dancer Carlos from SBR is in fifth place: he is described as "cute", "great personality", "respectful" and "the sweetest". One to watch for sure! Prince Leonard (Q30) ties with Claire (SBR) in sixth place. Leonard is "complicated", "interesting" and "clever", while Claire is "sweet", "mature" and "loyal". Seventh position is for Michael (SOS) - "cute", "affectionate", "funny" - and Kayla (WP) who's "really nice" and "one of the first female LIs that didn't seem like a complete afterthought".
Eight place goes to Sam (CY) - "wholesome", "the right amount of naughty and nice", "a sweet and likeable guy" - in a tie with Chris (SIF) - "funny", "strong", "loyal", "always has your back". Ninth place is another tie between Sebastian (SIF) - "sweet" and "supportive" - and Alex (MHS) - "amazing personality", "really helpful".
Last but not least the tenth place is a foursome: William (SIF) gets some love for being "good", "solid", "loyal" and "fun", in a tie with Charles (SBR) - described as "perfect", "romantic" and "caring", as well as "hot", "sexy" and "gentle" - Jackie (SIF) - "an under-appreciated king", "handsome" and "fun", and Frances (MB) - a "real badass" and "one of the best LIs in MB".
So, time to replay your favourite book and try out one of these Lis instead than your usual one!
💎Question 6: If you could eat or drink one thing from the RC universe, what would you choose?https://preview.redd.it/q1oepb874y951.png?width=1108&format=png&auto=webp&s=fbd376a81dffac4123ffdfd8963ef87164466f35
Max (MB) might no longer hold the crown of most loved LI in the game, but his cooking skills still hold strong. A whopping 37.2% of the people in this community would eat anything he prepares. Getting drunk on Glyft at the HS Academy takes second spot with 23.1% of the preferences, while a sugar rush after a light BDSM session in CY is all what the 13.2% of us want, completing this delicious podium.
In fourth place is pizza with a bunch of MHS friends, fifth is potential death - as long as ice cream and Jake from WP are involved - and sixth is Anthony Wood's juice at one of his epic MHS parties.
Dinner at the SOS circus is seventh, chosen by a fearless 3% of the community, while canapés at a jewellery fashion show in Q30 score the eighth and last place.
💎Question 7: If you could spend a weekend in any RC story, would you:https://preview.redd.it/0nxu9upf4y951.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=2cbcbded6cb23da8f9f16e96e7cd65be46dee8fd
An entire weekend in the RC universe! What mischief is our community planning to get up to?
It looks like HS is once again top of the list, with over 38% of players willing to test their wings and get some strange and possibly corrosive blue liquid down their unclaimed throats. But LOW's gorgeous backgrounds and atmospheric setting have convinced the 16% of us to go explore a Japanese village, and possibly meet some mysterious cutie. Adelaide and her SIF crew navigate steadily in third place: 10.7% of us would follow them over the edge of the world and beyond.
In fourth place is a spot of murder mystery fun in CY, as 10.3% of us would happily explore a British family mansion - bloodshed possible but not guaranteed. A diplomatic trip with the Q30 Sagar Royal Court appeals to the 6.1% of us, especially if a romantic sunset is on the bill. The quaint and frankly unsettling SOS woods do not scare the 5.7% of us, but as long as no one picks up a nice bouquet of flowers, we should all be ok. In seventh place is our favourite vampire popstar Benny Bart (MB) performing at the Taste of the Night, while eighth is a dance marathon in SBR, inclusive of a trip to romantic Paris. Tarino's somewhat unusual directorial skills in MHS score ninth place, while hot surfers in WP's Miami end up last.
💎Question 8: If you could get more episodes of a series that has now ended, which one would you choose?https://preview.redd.it/qts8kk8i9y951.png?width=766&format=png&auto=webp&s=2b7135c2692b604dd9c9ad4b14bafa93cd4ecad0
It's time to go down memory lane! We loved all the stories that RC has now completed, but which one we miss the most?
Side note: SIF and WP were still ongoing when this survey was first opened hence they are not featured in this list.
Horror story SOS takes a clear lead, with over 47% of our community wishing we could get more adventures with MC and her friends. MB is second, with a healthy 34% of readers wishing to spend more time in the company of vampires and werewolves. Q30 is third, with 13.3% of readers missing its Royal Palace and all the intrigue coming with it, and last but not least is comedy MHS, which is missed by 5.4% of this community.
And now, some questions about this community's gaming habits:
💎Question 9: How do you usually approach LI relationships?https://preview.redd.it/v31scb2y4y951.png?width=834&format=png&auto=webp&s=6aa1f057936a83909a229f610e50e4a43b17f0d1
This question had a fairly split response between those who date a few LIs but ultimately choose only one (48.9%) and those who are fiercely monogamous from the start (42.4%). A healthy 8.7% of the readers prefer instead to play the field and date as many LIs as the gameplay will allow. And with so many great characters to choose from, that's hardly a surprise!
💎Question 10: Would you play a book that has a male MC?https://preview.redd.it/w15bvu885y951.png?width=826&format=png&auto=webp&s=b748f781448de34a98795a11470adc1e2dfe7129
We all know that at the moment all RC stories are gender-locked with a female MC. But what does the community think? Would we play a book with a male MC? The majority is in favour, with 61.9% of the responders answering with a resounding YES.
💎Question 11: Do you use the RC wiki on Fandom?https://preview.redd.it/j3bxwpgh5y951.png?width=777&format=png&auto=webp&s=97b8b0713957bf5ff133710b8cb1727411ec87c2
Our amazing fan-written Romance Club wiki recently celebrated 100 pages!
It sounds like a whopping 78.8% of this community uses the wiki, while about 14.1% did not know it existed (so we hope you are using it now!) and 7.1% are true daredevils who play without any wiki help.
💎Question 12: What genre of story do you enjoy the most?https://preview.redd.it/9ht7sl4u5y951.png?width=908&format=png&auto=webp&s=834f8b8a3f6a0c9465a3b9e74d5a3f70dfe77b9c
With new stories always coming up, we were curious to know which genres this community enjoys the most.
Despite the game being called Romance Club, the top of the genre ranking goes to Fantasy, with a striking 74.1% of preferences. But no worries: Romance is a steady second with a great 70.8% of the votes. Third place goes to Mystery with 65.7%.
Adventure comes fourth with 55.2%, followed by Horror (42.5%), Historical (35.1%), Science Fiction (29.1%) and finally Comedy (26.4%).
A very small number of people (too little to make percentage) also asked for drama, thriller, detective/crime, heist/spy, high school/teens, superheroes, zombies and time travel. All great ideas!
The community has spoken though: RC, give us elves and gnomes and medieval tales of debauchery and magic!
💎Question 13: How long have you been playing Romance Club for?https://preview.redd.it/irpho4w06y951.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=2f4cfd29dd89db03bfc910a5355ad8d47844668e
We were curious to know for how long we all have been playing this game we love. The survey showed a good mix of old and new readers, with a clear tendency towards long-term reading, which makes us so very happy to know we are all just equally addicted.
36% stated that they have been playing for over a year, 23.6% for more than six months, 17.8% for more than three months, 16.1% for more than one month and 6.4% for less than a month. Welcome one and all, we hope you are all going to be here for the long haul!
💎Question 14: How did you find out about the game Romance Club?https://preview.redd.it/3rcvli496y951.png?width=745&format=png&auto=webp&s=c48166ce7feee6ee5dab1c00fac3ea6dd3ab43ff
The main way in which our community has found out about RC is through the app store/google play store (70.9%). Another subreddit is a source for 13.5% of us (we probably have to say thank you to our friends at Lovestruck and Choices!) while a friend recommended the game to 8.7% of us.
Instagram (3%) and Facebook (1.5%) are also popular sources, but 2.4% of us arrived to the game through adverts, which is to us the most interesting data since in the mod team we haven't personally seen any adverts for this game - ever - so if anyone has screenshots, please post them in the comments, we are super curious!
Some users (too few to make percentage) also mentioned videos and memes on TikTok or Youtube, Google Search, Tumblr, Twitter, Vkontakte or even their own sister(s) as a source.
💎Question 15: Which operating system do you play the game on?https://preview.redd.it/j6zb31bg6y951.png?width=772&format=png&auto=webp&s=be90706aaa9835b173355c50388a6c5197ac786b
The majority of this community plays on Android (57.7%) while 42.3% play on iOS.
💎Question 16: Which other story games do you play?https://preview.redd.it/pcyngwew6y951.png?width=807&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e3f1f4956dfb8bc4e247d6a179a4153b62fc7da
Here are the top-10 story app games we play in this community, aside from RC.
Unsurprisingly, market leader Choices comes first with 53.3% of the votes. Another giant in the field, Episodes, comes second - although with quite a substantially smaller percentage of votes, clocking at 28.1%. The top-three is completed by UK TV show-inspired Love Island with the 24.6%.
Chapters is the fourth most played game at 24.2%, followed by Lovestruck and Love Sick - tied at 16.1%. Moments is sixth at 13.1%, new entry on the market Stories: Love and choices follows in seventh with 5.3%, Journeys is eighth with 4.7% and The Arcana is ninth with 2.6%. The top-ten is completed by Tabou Stories: Love Episodes in a tie with Originals - both at 1.2%.
Some also reminisced about Storyscapes (gone too soon but not forgotten!) and many other game apps were mentioned but by too few people to make up for an accountable percentage. We surely discovered some games we had never heard of before, though, including: Fictif, Heart's Choice, Everlasting Summer, Fancy Love, Romance: Stories and choices, Secrets: Game of choices, Fictions: Choose your emotions, Mystic Messenger, City of Love and many, many more... so thanks everyone for all these new suggestions!
And to that one person who selected half a dozen games and then commented with "it is a problem!" ... trust us, you are in very, very good company here!!
And lastly, some demographics:
💎Question 17: Where in the world are you from?https://preview.redd.it/wi54oynj7y951.png?width=742&format=png&auto=webp&s=67fd4ef85a56518876e64f5f1e35d704dc5d241a
We are a very international bunch, that's for sure! Here are the numbers:
45.5% of this community lives in Europe, 24.3% in North America, 16.9% is in Asia, 5.7% is in Central/South America, 5.3% is in Africa and 2.3% is in Australia/New Zealand. Welcome one and all! We are so happy you are here.
💎Question 18: How old are you?https://preview.redd.it/hgiuu3dq7y951.png?width=785&format=png&auto=webp&s=106185756ec1cfd67c4c1bb94a8bda1ce6f5a6d3
How old are we? The survey has spoken: 44.7% is between the ages of 18 and 24; 28.1% is between 25 and 35; 21.1% is 17 or younger; 6.1 % is 36 or older.
We must admit that we did not expect so many people to be on the younger end of the spectrum! But we hope everyone - of all ages - will always find this subreddit to be a safe, welcoming and friendly place where to discuss this game we all love. We mods work hard every day to keep this the most relaxed and fun RC space on the net and we feel so lucky that you are all as awesome as you are!
💎Question 19: What is your gender identity?https://preview.redd.it/kkr5bm1x7y951.png?width=810&format=png&auto=webp&s=90068fd1b9c2762f5b181b56af647848529c14e2
The overwhelming majority of this community (93.5%) identifies as female, while 4.6% identifies as male, 1.3% is non-binary, 0,4% identifies as genderqueer and 0.2% marked themselves as confused.
The fact that MC is gender-locked female and that LGBTQ routes are limited in the game is certainly one of the reasons why our community is not more diverse. Hopefully RC will expand their stories to include more diverse gender choices in terms of MCs and LIs, so to allow more people to enjoy their great storytelling skills.
💎Question 20: What is your sexual orientation?https://preview.redd.it/iskgfuk38y951.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d0cd01d9bedfb1f577206939bc22b959bc6921e
Here's the sexual orientation of our community:
70.1% identifies as Straight/Heterosexual
22.5% identifies as Bisexual
1.9% identifies as Lesbian/WLW
1.7% identifies as Pansexual
1.5% identifies as Gay/MLM
0.4% identifies as Aromantic
0.3% identifies as Aromantic/Bisexual
0.3% identifies as Asexual
0.3% identifies as Demisexual
0.2% identifies as Asexual/Biromantic
0.2% identifies as Asexual/Heterosexual
Once again, we hope that future plots featuring more diverse MC/LIs will attract more diverse players to our community.
That's all folks! We hope you found these results interesting and we look forward to a new survey once we hit 5000 users! Until then... happy gaming and thanks for making this awesome community as great as it is! :)

Food for Thought: Mrs. Claus shares tips for fun holiday activities
If you think you're busy this time of year, imagine how busy the first lady of holiday cheer can be. Not only does she help the big guy get ready for Christmas, but she makes sure everyone in the North Pole has a memorable holiday season. From hosting parties to keeping the elves happy and healthy, this joyful time of year is also her busiest.
For a holiday season filled with joy and laughter, Mrs. Claus shared her favorite ways to make lasting memories with your little ones.
Letters to Santa: Santa loves receiving letters from children. Encouraging your kids to write to Santa provides a great opportunity to teach them how to spell, compose written text and allows them to practice handwriting. For younger kids who haven't started reading or writing, encourage them to draw pictures, instead.
Leave something special: Making a snack for Santa with your little helpers offers an extra opportunity to spend time together creating memories that will last a lifetime. Think beyond the cookie tray and personalize your treats just for him. One of Santa's favorites is Kellogg's Rice Krispies Tree Trimmer Treats.
Holiday cheer: Make decorating the house a fun event for the whole family. Engage your kids in holiday crafts to display on the mantle and make sure everyone has ornaments to hang on the tree.
Rudolph roadmap: Make sure Santa and his reindeer can find your house. Sprinkle a mixture of oats and glitter on your front yard to help guide them right to your home — even if it gets a little foggy.
Rice Krispies Tree Trimmer Treats Recipe
Yields 12 servings
12 (6-inch lengths) red or black string licorice
12 miniature marshmallows
3 T butter or margarine
1 package (10 ounces, about 40) regular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal
M&M's brand chocolate candies
Fold each licorice piece in half and push ends through centers of 12 miniature marshmallows. Set aside. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add 10 ounces marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal. Stir until well coated. Using 1/2-cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray, divide warm cereal mixture into 12 portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into ornament shape around licorice ends. Cool. Decorate with frosting and candies. Best if served the same day.

Food Quiz
What is the name of the unleavened bread traditionally eaten throughout Passover/Pesach?
A. Afikoman
B. Matzah
C. Maror
Answer is at the bottom of the rail.
Wise to the Word: Kecap Manis
Often referred to as "Indonesian soy sauce," Kecap Manis is a syrupy, dark brown sauce sweetened with palm sugar and seasoned with things like garlic and star anise. Used as a condiment and for marinating dishes like satay (and ribs), Kecap Manis is generally a little sweeter than soy sauce, but you can use the two interchangeably.

Supporters at the Chicago Radical Doula Guide Release Party!
I'm psyched to announce that Tuesday, November 27, we'll be hosting a Twin Cities Radical Doula Guide Release Party in conjunction with the Family Tree Clinic, NARAL Pro-Choice Minnesota, and the Smitten Kitten. The party will benefit The Ilythia Project, a group that provides doula services for pregnant women living with HIV.
It's going to be a low-key get together, with opportunities to purchase the guide, get to know local doulas and reproductive justice activists, and raise funds for The Ilythia Project! We'll have a short discussion about the guide, Q&A and a raffle. Light snacks and beverages provided. There will also be a photobooth!
I'm really excited for this event, which once again will be hosted at another fabulous feminist sex shop, Smitten Kitten (review I wrote in 2008!).
Tuesday November 27
Smitten Kitten
3010 Lyndale Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55408
Facebook event here.
Hope to see you there!
Mega thanks to Erin Wilkins from the Family Tree Clinic for organizing this event.

This weekend, I participated in the Fort Sisseton Historical Festival, which is held annually at Fort Sisseton in South Dakota. It was the most unique and wonderful experience I have had reenacting. My friend Stuart and I arrived at the post late Saturday morning and quickly set our camp up and got acquainted with those camping next to us. We attended as part of the Fifth Minnesota Infantry, Company D, but by the end of the weekend, we were members of another unit as well (more on that later).
After we set up and donned our uniforms, we joined fellow reenactors Den Bolda and Mike Larson in interpreting pay call in the north barracks, with the non-commissioned officers' quarters being a temporary adjutants' office. Den portrayed the Regimental Adjutant, Mike portrayed the clerk (dressed as a Sergeant with the United States Sharpshooters), and Stuart and I were two privates serving as the armed guard, given that it was pay-day. It was a fun time, as we discussed the payment process in the army, the creation of greenbacks, and uniforms of the army in the Civil War. After this, Mike and I were part of a Gatling Gun crew, with Mike firing the weapon, while I served as the ammunition bearer. It was a lot of fun and the crowd appreciated the display.
Later that evening, we participated in an event that really set this event apart from others, as a grand march on the parade ground took place, followed by a ball. We were decked out in our best uniforms available and escorted lovely ladies dressed in fine evening gowns. The ball lasted until almost midnight, with many chances to dance period dances (Stuart enjoyed the Virginia reel). After the ball, we retired to the camp and socialized for a bit more before turning in.
The next morning, I drilled with the 13th US Infantry Regiment and participated in the flag raising on the post. The 13th Regiment has a place in my life, as my dad was assigned to it when I was young and we were stationed in Baumholder, Germany. The motto of the 13th was "First at Vicksburg", so it was a pleasure to drill with them. In the afternoon, I first interpreted in the post hospital, portraying an injured soldier. Stuart also played an injured soldier, suffering a head wound, and laid down on the hospital bed. It worked quite well, as he actually fell sound asleep for a few minutes and was still, which caused one couple to ask if he was real (I am not kidding, either). We played off the story that he was kicked in the head by a horse, and I injured my arm trying to catch said horse.
After that impression, I had the distinct pleasure and honor of serving on the Gatling Gun crew again, this time firing the weapon. It was an awesome experience and those who showed up were pleased. After this, I returned to camp for some socializing as the event wound down. The event ended and we returned to scenic Grand Forks that night.
Overall, I met a lot of great people at this event and will join yet another unit, the First US Volunteers, Company F, Galvanized, which is part of the Frontier Army of the Dakota. They are a great group that have a very family atmosphere and do events at state parks around the area. This weekend was great (I even met a guy portraying Custer, which was interesting) and I'll be at Fort Abercrombie this coming Saturday for programming dedicated to Flag Day. I will post some pictures from this weekend in the next day or two, but will give you the link to the event program. On a side note, I hope you all like the new look of the blog.

The state Board of Health on Wednesday rejected an emergency petition filed by medical marijuana patients who urged the panel to halt the sharing of patient information with law enforcement.
A June audit found that the Colorado Department of Health and Environment hasn't kept the registry confidential.
The board apologized to marijuana patients who demanded they destroy and rebuild the 107,000-person registry. Information from the registry is supposed to be accessible to law enforcement only under limited circumstances.
Board president Laura Davis said the panel doesn't have enough information to determine that the registry is not working properly.
That information will come from the state Attorney General's Office, which so far has made no formal recommendations about what, if anything, should be changed, Davis said.
"We don't know that we are doing anything wrong," she said. "The prudent thing to do is have a conversation with the attorney general."
Audrey Hatfield, president of Coloradans for Cannabis Patient Rights, said three patients had contacted her to complain that officers who stopped them and ran their names through their computers found that they were on the registry. "It has been going on for at least a year," she said.
Ron Hyman, the state's registrar of vital statistics, said his office has been in contact with the attorney general "to assure we are adequately following what we should be doing. The audit said we are moving through uncharted waters and we want to be prudent."
The state has been making changes recommended in the audit, he said.
In a 2012 case, according to the audit, the health department turned over 107 names to an officer investigating a dispensary, a violation of the protocol for sharing registry information with authorities. In another case, the health department shared with auditors the names of 5,400 people designated to grow marijuana on behalf of others, without notifying the caregivers of the breach.
Auditors also criticized the health department for not getting confidentiality agreements from temporary employees hired to help process medical marijuana applications.
Laura Kriho, of the Cannabis Therapy Institute, said she would resubmit the petition. The names on the registry should be confidential "so patients won't fear being treated as criminals."
Marijuana activists demonstrated during the meeting outside the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. They wore paper bags over their heads to protest what they called the breach of confidentiality.

TYNGSBORO — Police are looking for two Nashua men who allegedly used stolen credit cards at several Tyngsboro businesses.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Michael Perez, 23, of 17 Mulberry St. and Jonathan Escobar, 23, of 368 Main St., according to a press release from Deputy Chief Richard Howe.
Perez is being sought on four counts of possession of a stolen credit card, four counts of improper use of a credit card and four counts of larceny under $250.
Escobar is wanted for three counts of possession of a stolen credit card, three counts of improper use of a credit card and three counts of larceny under $250.
Police responded to Dunkin' Donuts in the TJ Maxx Plaza on MIddlesex Road on Jan. 25. where an employee told police two men tried to buy gift cards using a female's credit card. When the employee asked for identification, the two men left.
The employee gave a description of the men and the vehicle they were driving.
An investigation by police revealed the two men had allegedly used the victim's credit cards in other Tyngsboro businesses.
Video surveillance at the businesses confirmed the suspects were the same men who attempted to use a stolen credit card at Dunkin' Donuts.

After years of inaction, the US government managed to cut a deal with automobile manufacturers that would prompt the first significant increases in average fuel efficiency in many years. It's part of a plan that would see the average fuel economy clear 50 miles-per-gallon by 2025. Although that may seem like a large leap, it will still leave the US' efficiency standards well below those of other industrialized nations.
A new report by the National Academies of Science looks well beyond these goalposts. It looks at what it would take to get a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use by 2030 and a full eighty percent drop by 2050. To make matters a touch more challenging, it also looks at what it would take to get an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from our light-duty vehicle fleet. The answer is that no single technology is going to be capable of all of this, which means success would require a mix of technologies on the road at the same time. According to the report, none of it will come close to happening without a concerted policy push.
The cars under consideration here—the light duty vehicle category—are the sorts of things that most of us drive for commutes or to run errands. Collectively, they burn through about half of the petroleum consumed in the US and create more than 15 percent of its greenhouse gas emissions. That's enough to make them a significant cost in both financial and environmental terms, and it's a critical factor in the country's strategic decisions and international politics. The report emphasizes repeatedly that it will be expensive to drive the sorts of massive efficiency gains it describes, but it's an investment that will more than pay for itself.
The report also considers the potential for vehicles powered by the fuel that is radically altering US electricity production: natural gas. Compressed natural gas vehicles are a solved problem, but they would require a significant investment of infrastructure to actually deliver the fuel to vehicles. Compressed natural gas also won't help much with carbon emissions, for obvious reasons. The authors note that the fracking boom is expected to last for decades, after which the future of natural gas supplies (and prices) becomes a bit cloudy. The report doesn't note this, but it does say that "several decades" takes us right to the end of the time period it's considering.
That combination of factors—the lack of impact on CO2 emissions and an uncertain long-term future—may explain why the report places most of its emphasis on other technologies.
One of those is the traditional internal combustion engine. Technology already exists or is in development that can significantly lower vehicle weight and reduce rolling friction. Along with efficiency changes in the engines themselves, better traditional vehicles can contribute to reductions in both fuel use and emissions. A further drop in emissions could be had if drop-in replacement biofuels (either biodiesel or a gasoline analog) development advances continue. The report suggests that efficiencies of 74 MPG are possible by 2050 (and more with hybrids)—but only if the advances go towards fuel efficiency and not, say, acceleration.
Vehicles with batteries are already playing a significant role in transportation, and the report expects hybrid vehicles to only become more common. Battery-only vehicles are expected to increase in range thanks to advances in lithium-ion and lithium air technologies, and these will reach the point where a single charge might cover 100 miles of driving—easily covering most commutes. These will clearly help drop petroleum consumption, but their impact on emissions will depend on further growth of renewable electricity and/or the development of efficient carbon capture and storage.
The one technology that the group felt has been unfairly ignored is fuel cell vehicles. These have the advantages of using well-established technology and handling both emissions and petroleum use (assuming the hydrogen is generated from renewable energy). Additionally, fuel-cell vehicles are as convenient to refuel as current vehicles. The downsides are large, however, including a complete absence of existing infrastructure and a lack of a clear route to hydrogen production. Nevertheless, the report gives them a strong endorsement: "The committee believes that hydrogen/fuel cells are at least as promising as battery electric vehicles in the long-term and should be funded accordingly."
In the end, the committee that prepared the report concluded that it would be very, very difficult to meet the 2030 goals, in part because many of the vehicles that will be in service then would be produced before this decade is out. The 2050 goals are possible, but no single technology would be able to reach them on its own; at least two, and possibly more, might be needed. This would mean having significant numbers of more than one type of vehicle on the road at the same time, something we're just starting to experiment with now thanks to the rise in electric vehicles.
Reaching the goals would also require developments outside the automotive field, such as making the electric grid more heavily powered by renewables and putting a hydrogen production and distribution network in place. All of that would be expensive, as would the vehicles themselves. The authors expect the vehicle of 2050 would cost several thousand dollars more, even when inflation is accounted for (although it would be significantly cheaper to run).
All of this is why the authors expect a concerted policy effort will be required to bring this about. Given that we collectively have a poor track record of predicting which technological changes will prove easiest to develop, they argue that the government should focus on policies that favor any efficiency, such as a tax on carbon emissions from vehicles. They also argue that R&D dollars should be spent on all of the technologies required, at least provided there are no unforeseen breakthroughs that make one a clear favorite.
The effort will also need to be sustained over decades in order to bring what are now nascent technologies into the mainstream. All of which will be hard, but the payoffs of success will be rather large. And as they note, "Even if the nation falls short of the 2050 goals, there are likely to be environmental, economic, and national security benefits resulting from the petroleum use and GHG emissions reductions that are achieved."

Duke cruises past Virginia Tech
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Seth Curry made the most of his last chance to play in an arena his father once ruled.
The son of Dell Curry, Virginia Tech's second all-time scorer, scored 19 of his 22 points in the first half as No. 6 Duke opened a 20-point lead and sent Virginia Tech to its ninth consecutive loss, 88-56 on Thursday night.
"I just wanted to come out tonight and play well," Curry said. "The first two times I played terrible."
He took care of that in short order, hitting three of his five 3-pointers before the game was 7 minutes old.
"I'm always trying to be aggressive early on," Curry said. "Coach called the first few plays for me so I was able to get some good looks and they went down."
Curry finished 6 for 14 from the field overall, but missed only once in six tries from behind the arc. Duke shot 53.6 percent for the game (30 of 56) and was 12 for 17 on 3-pointers (70.6 percent).
"Our shooting was terrific. Seth set the tone for that in the first half," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "He put on an amazing display with 19 points and we stayed steady the whole time."
Rasheed Sulaimon added 17 points and Mason Plumlee had 13 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocks, a performance Krzyzewski called "an almost perfect game."
The Blue Devils (23-3, 10-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) moved Krzyzewski into sole possession of third place on the career list for victories at one school with 877.
He was tied with Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and is now two behind North Carolina's Dean Smith. Syracuse's Jim Boeheim leads with 910 victories.
Erick Green, the nation's leading scorer with a 25.3 average coming in, led the Hokies (11-15, 2-11) with 22 points. C.J. Barksdale had a career-best 14 points and Cadarian Raines added 10, but no one else scored more than five as the Hokies shot just 43 percent and made only 1 of 16 3-point attempts.
Duke, meantime, buried the Hokies quickly with a 3-point barrage.
Curry had three 3s and Quinn Cook and Sulaimon also connected in an early 19-6 run, and after the teams swapped baskets, Curry capped a 15-3 burst for Duke with his fourth 3-pointer of the half.
"Curry came out on fire," Virginia Tech coach James Johnson said. "Before I could turn around he had 19 points."
That made the score 37-17 after 16 minutes, and Curry added a fifth 3 before halftime. Duke was 8 for 9 from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes. The Hokies, meantime, had 10 field goals, none of them 3s.
Coming off a 2-point loss at Maryland, the Blue Devils started fast in the second half, too, getting an inside basket by Josh Hairston, a baseline jumper from Cook and a 3 from Sulaimon to make it 55-30.
The Hokies never threatened again and Johnson pulled Green with just over 6 minutes to play and trailing 73-49. Krzyzewski followed with wholesale changes shortly thereafter.
The victory kept Duke solidly in second place in the ACC, two games ahead of North Carolina, N.C. State and Virginia.

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys Share Top-Secret Intel on The Americans
When they were in KGB spy school in 1962, the young Russians now known as Philip and Elizabeth Jennings couldn't say "nyet" when they were ordered to marry and move to suburban Virginia. Eighteen years and two kids later, the question is, will the couple finally find true love with each other undercover?
On location in Queens, where they're filming a scene that involves an armed and dangerous little girl, The Americans costars Keri Russell, 37, and Matthew Rhys, 38, banter and finish each other's thoughts as they contemplate that idea and more.
TV Guide Magazine: Even when you're not on camera, you two act like an old married couple.
Rhys: That's a rumor! This is the only time you'll see us out together, engaging in anything remotely close to a conversation.
Russell: I request no eye contact.
Rhys: When Elizabeth put a knife to Philip's neck in the pilot, that wasn't scripted. It was purely reflex that saved my life! [Laughs]
TV Guide Magazine: Was it our imagination or did their relationship become deeper after Philip killed Elizabeth's old KGB rapist?
Russell: That was a huge turning point for Elizabeth, because this was really the first time that she felt taken care of by someone. That's what created an opening for them.
Rhys: This season is about the first timid steps of trying to define what they will become.
Russell: He always liked her a little more than she liked him - like in any good marriage. [Laughs]
Rhys: Which makes for great conflict. As does the fact that he wants to put his family first. He's realizing that their life is unsustainable and their children will suffer.
TV Guide Magazine: Could Philip really convince Elizabeth, a true believer in the Soviet system, to defect to save their children?
Rhys: Yes, but he's wracked by genuine doubt as to whether that's possible. She's incredibly cold.
Russell: Not cold - she's just complicated.
TV Guide Magazine: Is it real love now?
Russell: Let's not get carried away. No one should get too comfortable.
Rhys: Their relationship is like a chess match.
TV Guide Magazine: But jealously has entered the equation for the first time, right?
Russell: It starts becoming real jealousy. Philip felt enormously hurt by Elizabeth's affair with fellow spy Gregory [Derek Luke].
TV Guide Magazine: Knowing that, why did Philip have sex with his former Russian girlfriend Irina?
Rhys: After learning that Elizabeth betrayed him again by reporting his wavering commitment to their KGB handlers, the move into Irina's arms was very easy for him.
TV Guide Magazine: What's the fallout from the Irina incident in tonight's episode?
Rhys:Elizabeth finally makes an important gesture to Philip regarding their marriage, but it's too late. It makes him regret sleeping with Irina enormously.
TV Guide Magazine: Would the KGB really allow the marriage to end?
Russell: That's the discussion right now. They're partners, but do they have to be married?
TV Guide Magazine: What's happening with Philip's escalating honey-trap wooing of smitten FBI clerk Martha [Alison Wright]?
Rhys: It's an out-of-control juggernaut. Each week she wants more of an emotional commitment, which he must acquiesce to in order to keep his cover as "Clark." It could be very dangerous.
TV Guide Magazine: This is such a different role for you, Keri. What made the producers see darkness in someone who's been so winning on screen ever since Felicity?
Russell: Elizabeth is unsympathetic in a lot of ways. They needed someone who everyone thinks is nice. But they should see the real me, demanding chocolate and coffee on set!
TV Guide Magazine: And Matthew, how did Brothers & Sisters' Kevin Walker make the producers think of the KGB?
Rhys: They saw me in Look Back in Anger on Broadway and asked me to audition.
TV Guide Magazine: And that led to the slap that won you the role?
Russell: In Matthew's audition scene, I was supposed to slap Philip. The other actors flinched, which our director Gavin O'Connor didn't like. This time, he whispered, "Really slap him!" I guess a more professional person would have faked it, but I slapped him so hard I could see my handprint on his face. He didn't flinch; he just turned and looked at me, and Gavin said, "That's what I want."
Rhys: I was still drunk from the night before - didn't feel a thing. [Both laugh]
Russell: I felt instantly comfortable with Matthew. [To Rhys] Joe Weisberg [the executive producer] said after the first time you came in, "I instantly believe they're a couple."
Rhys: That's good, becausethe attraction for both of us in this project was that in the center of all this madness is the relationship.
Russell: I feel like the spy stuff helps elevate the stakes. It's really more a story about their complicated marriage.
TV Guide Magazine: Are you similar in your work styles or opposites who complement each other?
Russell: We're both pretty easygoing. I do want to say that, because Matthew is this fancy-pants trained actor, it's like in the Tour de France when there's a front rider and the second person drafts off him. I'm drafting off Matthew.
Rhys: Which I will say is absolute rubbish. We draft off each other!

Old questions answered by Siciliano guilty verdict
When Mayor William Phelan took office in 2002, he soon became aware of quiet questions that some people around City Hall had about the way Anthony Siciliano was running Quincy's Community Emergency Response program.
The new mayor caught heavy flak at the time for dismissing the popular deputy director, who'd managed the volunteer program made up almost exclusively of teenage boys for 20 years. Those lingering questions were answered Monday, when a Norfolk Superior Court jury convicted Siciliano on three counts of rape of a teenage boy he'd recruited into the program in the 1990s.
With a then-60-year-old man overseeing teenagers for vaguely-defined services, "there were obvious concerns ... in terms of who was in the building and how they were being supervised," Phelan said, a few hours after the verdict was announced. Siciliano was acquitted on a fourth charge of indecent assault and battery of a person 14 involving a second alleged victim.
"My heart goes out to those victims," Phelan said. "I commend them for the courage they showed in stepping forward."
Phelan's concerns weren't shared by everyone. Siciliano called former mayor James Sheets and Quincy Sun publisher Henry Bosworth as character witnesses. Some councilors criticized Phelan when he removed Siciliano from the program.
Sheets could not be reached for comment after the verdict was announced Monday.
If anyone else around the city had suspicions about Siciliano's relations with his young charges, they kept it to themselves. The rape victim, who was between 13 and 16 when the crimes occurred, didn't come forward with his accusations until 2003.
Siciliano was a familiar figure around Quincy. He could often be seen driving his emergency-response truck, a sort of mobile promotion for the program.
According to the men's testimony, he made his first advances at the program's basement office at the city's public works department. Other molesting occurred in the truck, at Siciliano's home and other locations.
"We were friends," the rape victim testified about Siciliano. "I looked up to him."

It's a tiny, loaded, powerful word.
For people whose natural inclination is to take care of others, using time and energy to care for themselves can be upsetting. Depending on the person, it varies from slightly uncomfortable to downright distressing.
When faced with the idea, there may be a freak-out: "What?! Myself? How will…? What can…? I can't do that!"
You can. You really can.
Here's a thing I've realized.
If you have a tendency to focus on others, it's difficult to shift that focus. It may seem unlikely to happen. Impossible even. When you begin focusing on your Self, you'll find a thought popping up often (the persistent little bugger):
"If I'm spending all that time taking care of myself, I won't be able to take care of anyone else!"
"If I'm spending all that time taking care of myself, I won't be able to take care of everyone else!"
That's it, my friends.
Take that in. Accept it. Embrace it.
You can't do it all.
Don't be that person. The harried, stressed, wreck who tries to help everyone and tries to do everything to the detriment of his or her Self, family, health, relationships…whatever.
Yes, this means you have to make decisions. When will you agree? When will you decline? Choose wisely. And ditch the guilt. (It can be done. I have faith in you.)
A lot has happened since I chose 'Self" as my One Word for 2018. Some of it good. Some of it not so good. All of it eye-opening. Take care of yourselves, gentle readers.

The racing presidents pulled out all the stops for the standing room only crowd of 41,985 tonight at Nationals Park, completing the homestand against the Boston Red Sox with a multi-vehicle presidents race relay.
Abe Lincoln and George Washington competed in the first leg, riding Segway personal transporters along the left field warning track toward a finish line that had been moved to center field from its usual location in foul territory.
With Abe on a Segway and unable to put on his usual burst of speed, George was able to hand a huge lead to Thomas Jefferson, who took on Teddy Roosevelt in the second leg riding pedicab bicycle taxis.
Tom jumped into one of the taxis as the driver started peddling him to the finish line, but then Teddy Roosevelt took the reigns and started peddling his own cab. The Rough Rider ignited the crowd when he briefly overtook Tom, but the peddling wore him out. Teddy faded at the finish and failed to deliver for the 201st time.

What Shall I Do Then With Jesus Which Is Called Christ?
Although there is no set price for the GTS tracts, the tracts do cost us money to publish and we can only provide them as The Lord meets the financial needs to produce them. Therefore, a shipping and handling fee has been applied to each tract quantity packet available. While we are asking for the price of packing and shipping to be shared, a donation above the shipping cost will help us to provide the millions of tracts that are sent out to prisons, street ministries, and those who truly cannot afford to donate but are able to help sow the salvation seed into the Harvest fields. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

By George
Father Tim
So after keeping us in suspense for a few days, the royal baby has finally been named: George. Actually there were a few other names attached to this but I've forgotten them. Two or three middle names seems to be a monarchy thing. As you'll see below, I've done some research on William and Kate's influences in coming up with the name. Oh, and just for the record, Americans don't deal kindly with English kings named George. Just sayin'.

This week, inmates in Sao Paulo broke into a cell block where prisoners convicted of rape and pedophilia were held and killed six people, including a man, Jose Agostinho Pereira, convicted of imprisoning his daughter for twelve years and having seven children with her, two of whom he also sexually abused. Using makeshift knives, the attacking inmates, decapitated Pereira and three of the other prisoners.
Extreme overcrowding in the prison seemed to be one cause of the violence – a number of inmates, unhappy with their poor conditions, attempted to escape, which precipitated a riot. However, the level of brutality and the focus of the harm seem to tell another story. Indeed, it's important to note that the men who were killed had been kept apart from the general population for their protection, a practice which is common at many prisons both abroad and in the United States.
Once imprisoned, child sex offenders become prime targets for violence by other inmates and it's interesting to think about how much of that abuse might be retributive in nature.
Do prisoners who decapitate child molesters feel they are delivering "justice"? And, if so, on behalf of whom do they believe they are acting?
As I've mentioned previously, I'm currently working on a set of experiments with Penn cognitive psychologist Geoff Goodwin regarding intuitions about punishment and one of the recurring themes in our research (and that of others interested in retribution) is that people's motives to punish often do not align with what legal scholars assume them to be and that there is still much left to uncover in the study of "responsive harm." For better or for worse, that additional research may lead us to some troubling truths.

Crytek: Crysis Patches Prove Abundant Piracy, Consoles Are 'Very Good DRM Technologies'
Based on downloads of the last Crysis patch, he argues, there were "a lot more active [Crysis] players than there were unit sales."
And since those pirates are still playing the game months after release, Seeley reasons that "then they were a sale that didn't happen but probably would have had it not been possible to obtain the game illegally."
Crytek, the studio that created the hardware intensive Far Cry and Crysis games exclusively for PC, has repeatedly stated that the upcoming Crysis Warhead will be its last PC-only game due to the abundant piracy of PC games.
But just because Crytek is no longer developing PC exclusives, that doesn't mean the company will abandon the platform. "We want to continue to provide our fans in the PC world a rich and engaging experience," Seeley explained to EDGE Online.
"But that doesn't mean we can't also release the same title on consoles. It takes nothing away from the PC gamer if the game is also available on another platform."
"Console technology has advanced a great deal since we released Far Cry," he continued. "Our teams have since found it very exciting to push the boundaries of what most people today consider possible to do on those platforms, both technically and artistically."
In addition, Seeley expressed his belief that things will be better on consoles as "consoles themselves are, in one sense, simply very good DRM technologies."
"Consumers welcome and pay for [consoles], in order to receive the benefits that come with them, such as the healthy variety of games which are able to prosper in such a protected environment, and the greater ease of installation, use and reliability."

Jab we met – movie review
I had no intention of seeing Jab we met (When we met) a Bollywood film with an Hinglish title. But well, I was dragged to it…not by anyone in particular but by the four/three star film reviews. I cannot resist a movie that has been given four stars. I have to know whether the movie is really worth the stars and whether I would rate it the same way.
Would I give the movie four stars? No.
Jab we met is a light frothy time-pass movie. For me at least in dragged in places but it may not for all. There was this bunch of college kids sitting right next to us and they had a whale of a time. They were repeating the dialogues and commenting on almost every scene. There was a middle-aged couple on the other side and they seemed bored. We didn't fall into either group because although we were not so exuberant in our enjoyment of the movie, we did enjoy it.
The story is basically about two young people who meet on a train and fall in love. Aditya Kashyap (Shahid Kapoor), a rich industrialist's son has been 'ditched' by his girl-friend and is depressed. In a daze he gets on a train going to nowhere and that's where he meets the love of his life. Only he doesn't know that she is the love of his life. Geet (Kareena Kapoor) is a talkative extroverted girl who tells Aditya that her ambition in life is to get married! She is on her way home to Bhatinda but plans to elope to Simla where her love Anshuman (Tarun Arora) lives.
The best part of the movie is the chemistry between the two lead actors, and the way the sparks fly and a fire ignites. The credit goes to the director ofcourse (Imtiaz Ali) and the great script…but also to the actors. Though neither Shahid nor Kareena are grade A actors (Shahid Kapur has the potential) this movie would have been flat without them and the chemistry they create. Kareena acted well and it was a surprise. The fact that she was right for the role helped. She smoothly makes the transition from bubbling young girl to aggressive no-nonsense girl to sad girl.
As for the story, it isn't easy to show a man who considers killing himself gradually becoming mesmerized with a strange girl despite himself. It was nicely done and very natural.
The story is very simple. Boy meets girl and they fall in love. And there isn't any melodrama or rona-dhona…in fact there are quite a few comic moments. Tarun Arora, who plays the role of Anshuman has something to contribute here…but ofcourse it's the situation which is comic and so are Anshuman's dialogues. Hats off to the director! But Arora acted well too.
The board-room scenes (Aditya has taken over the reins of his father's empire after his father's death) seem artificial but thankfully this was a small part of the movie.
The music is good, though not earth-shaking. Shahid Kapoor manages to create some magic during the singing and dancing.
So is this film worth a see? Yeah why not! It's a different kind of movie, fresh and easy on the eyes. There is a kissing scene (not common in a Hindi movie!) but it's a movie one can take one's kids too.

watched this movie day before yesterday and really liked it. It's such a plain and simple story but refreshing indeed. kareena is awesome… looked beautiful and acted superbly too… Dialogs & incidents are taken from our daily life only… Simple yet stylish and beautiful.
We say 'life is a journey'.. well this movie tells us more precisely that it's a train journey. There are so much things that happen on a train journey (i.e. sleeper class, people travelling by AC class can't experience it).
After JWM, I am lookng for Imtiaz's previous movie 'Socha Na Tha'. My friends who have watched that movie, told me that that's also a nice movie. There the male character was confused in love, and here the female lead is, in JWM.
Thanks Rupesh. – Nita
