EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY TO TORTURE, MAIM, AND DESTROY
Below is a message I sent to CCT like yesterday, and after I sent it I thought-instead of just my thoughts coming in, maybe others would like to comment! So I was wondering if you feel the same way that I do about this arc.
So below is the message that I sent-afterwards, go ahead and tell me if you think I said things correctly, if you agree, etc.
Don't be harsh -.-

College is actually pretty cool, and the freedom aspect is a part of that.

But outside of the school work, college is so cool. You can actually find groups of friends where it is extremely cool to be a video game nerd, or be into any fandom. And then you can do stuff with it, whatever you want. If you want to play through Dokapon Kingdom with a bunch of friends, you just do it. If you want to be in two weekly RPG campaigns at once, go for it. If you want to do a 72 hour gameathon of nonstop gaming, you do it. College lets you do this stuff, and actually meet people who will not only do this stuff with you, but expand your horizons as well. I discovered the joys of table-top RPGs thanks to my college buddies, and hell, I wouldn't even be playing a game like League of Legends if it wasn't for college.
Yeah, these are some great reasons I actually want to be in college already.

It's the GETTING THERE that's stressful and maddening.

Yeah, I'm tempted to just make up an interesting story to amuse the readers of the prompt.

It's what I do lol. Whenever I was younger and I would be asked things like "who is an inspirational figure in your life" I would make up that my mom was a war vet who got lots of honors and things like that lol.

I was born in poverty... Abandoned at merely a year of age, my adoptive parents were abusive. I struggled in life living under the shadow of the other boy who lived with us, my adopted parents' true child.

My friends were spiders, not people, as I learned by seeing them under the staircase. As I was living life as an outcast from school, it was al I could do to endure the tortures of loneliness; no one wanted to be with that weird adopted kid. However, I knew that deep inside, I was special.

So I began to work, to plan ahead for the future. At the age of eleven, I got my first pet, a true sign of responsibility. Trained it to deliver letters and all of that. I was accepted to a fairly acclaimed school in Britain. There, I became more social, gained friends, some giants, by becoming more outgoing, and began focusing more on schoolwork. My classes went fairly well, though I have had some trouble with a certain hook-nosed, snarky Chemistry teacher.

I dealt with a fairly large bully on Halloween night. Big, ogre-like, smelly, nearly killed my friend. But I saved her. This was a turning point in which I realized I am the hero of my own life.

As it turned out, I was a prodigy with a broom. Became a hero, in the sporting world. Not that it meant anything of course.

Did I mention I found the secret to everlasting life? Yeah, it's a stone.

Aced exams, all of that. And then I went on to become the greatest wizard in the world.

And so I searched up what Dokapon Kingdom was.

Spoiler: click to toggle


How do I not have this game on my Wii yet. Or DS.

EDIT: $169.28... That's why.
You know you can buy Dokapon Kingdom for like $20 at Gamestop. Now if only there was a game called Dekopon Kingdom...

It's not really scary. College is actually pretty cool, and the freedom aspect is a part of that. It's just very easy to lapse into bad habits early on and therein lies the troubles. "Oh, I have a lab report due, but I don't HAVE to finish it tonight." "Oh, I don't HAVE to go to class." Ya know, stuff like that. Like tonight, where I just turned in a lab report due in literally an hour. 3 hours ago I had some data and some semblance of an introduction, I had to whip up an entire report. Or test studying: I didn't have to study much in high school, college is different, so I had to adjust my time to include studying.

But outside of the school work, college is so cool. You can actually find groups of friends where it is extremely cool to be a video game nerd, or be into any fandom.

Anyways...that got off-track...I think I'm tired...
The woes of online university. It blows that I don't have the "normal" college life like on-campus universities.

Ehh, it really depends on how you live it. I went to a small private Mennonite college. So I didnt have the "normal college experience". It was a dry campus, and a majority of the people there were Christians of some sort. Even there I was able to find people to play Dungeons and Dragons, League, and other things with. Board game nights happened a lot, as did marathoning TV shows and Movies. Lots of Frisbee Golf. I understand that out of the two of us I have had a much more "normal college experience" but it is solely due to who I surrounded myself with, and I am sure unless you live in the middle of nowhere, like I did, you can find these people to hang out with even if its not on a college campus. Granted having people around in college did make it easier.

Naw, doesn't work when about the half the population is nearing 40 years old. And on top of that, the campus (which is closing down next year) is located in Iowa, and I'm in Cali. So yea... lol. But I don't regret it at all. I was able to connect through other means.

I've just closed the match submission form. Matches have concluded, but now there's still the story resolution to complete. Once the BoP is updated, we'll be able to announce a winner. We'll then have a final Balance of Power that we can use to guide the conclusion of the story.

At first I thought you meant who's eviler, in which case I was gonna be like 'Duh, BC.' Then I realized it was about who's the worst of the worst and can never win arcs. That went dark quickly.
