This semester has been absolute hell for me. I had to drop my animation course in order to spare myself the D or F I might get - which would have kicked me out of the art major program!

Now I'm scrambling to catch up in WDMD because I have a big project due Monday night and my final is Thursday. I have to pass this class (110) because 111 begins shortly after this one ends. -.-

Additionally, my Asian Art History mid-term is thursday and my midterm for Com 101 is just after spring break.

Well it's that time of the year where school is just really boring and nothing can cheer that up. Too make it worse, I have no manga too read when at school, so I'm stuck reading what ever crummy books school has. So I'm currently suffer from a Manga Withdrawal. As for anime I haven't been watching much as I'd like to. I've started Kuroshitsuji( Black Butler) and it's awesome. I'm also waiting the 88 days until NoBrandCon which will be epic!

So yeah I realize it's been a while since I posted, my laptop's hard drive crashed and it's been running off of a live CD. So yeah NoBrandCon was freaking amazing, for those who weren't there you missed out. More details to follow soon.

i am going to go to nobrandcon this year, and despite very good advice that says not to, i'm going to attempt to dance. or at least, i'm going to hang out in the dance room and play with glow sticks like a small child. there is a reason i am going to do this. because i have requested some songs, and because some other people i know have also requested some songs who have good to decent musical taste, and i want to see how many of these songs they actually play, and how much techno they play. i hate techno.

So I am bringing back pockyBot, my IRC bot. If you don't remember pockyBot would give users random flavors or pocky and faygo soda. Unfortunately I lost my config file that did this so I have to reprogram pockyBot so right now he doesn't live up to his name. He can still do wikipedia lookups with ".wik topic".

And of course he lives in the #nobrandcon channel.

So as some of you knew I started an IRC channel for NoBrandCon. It has been pretty dead. I am considering killing it off. If you want to check it out before I kill it off check it out here

I added an area for all development on Project 42. T arhanks to Harley I have been able to get a lot of stuff done on it. I am still looking for volunteers for Project 42 so feel free to post that you are willing to help in the dedicated area.

So I decided to add two more things to Project 42.

Battle Royal: Between midnight and 3 am (times can be changed) any player can kill any player they wish to. Any player killed during this time does not respawn until the time is over. No points can be made during these three hours. Each night the player that kills the most players will earn a special prize.

Weapons: Any Balgarth legal weapon can be used to assassinate another player. So things like foam swords and nerf guns.

So I have been hitting a couple roadblocks on my secret development of Project 42 so I decided to Declassify it and use the open source. I am going to post what I have so far, everything is up for improvement/modification. You can post your changes as comments or if you are a user of the NoBrandCon forums here. Everything I really need help with is highlighted in purple

I am going to running a alternate reality game at the next NoBrandCon. The details are currently classified but this is what I can tell you.

1. There will be prizes

2. There may be text messaging involved, but the ability to text message will not be a barrier to entry.

3. It will be free

4. It will be fun

More details will be declassified later
