    Sorry for the complexity Oskar, I'm planing to get my post in tonight sometime. I probably would've had it done sooner, but recently I got hooked on Bleach so I've been watching it quite a bit.

    If I may introduce a topic of discussion, I was curious as to how all you deal with the bane of any altruist. How do you deal with ones ego when it submerges from the depths of your life?

    How is the story coming along by the way?

    Egos, eh?

    If by that you refer to my own, then I'll answer with this...
    I think having a big ego is a weakness. If you think that highly of yourself you dismiss your own flaws, you've weakened yourself in that you'll overestimate yourself in some way sooner or later. I see myself as being as flawed as any other. And through that knowledge, there's a strength of sorts.

    If you mean the egos some others have...
    Well me being me, I'll most likely find them insanely funny and probably end up laughing at them. In all honesty those with big egos tend to be fools and they can do two things most often. Make you laugh, or just plain irritate you. Often it's harmless, sometimes it seems that the best thing to do is try to help them out a bit. In that case, all a guy needs to do is make a judgement call. Is it really worth getting involved with?

    Silly me, hadn't taken to discussion...

    Ahem...

    I do try to submit my ego. I seek to be humble most of the time, seeking to live rather simply than seeking to boast. Usually, I deal with ego in the opposite way; unfortunately, it's not the best way. If the bane of humility is ego, then the extreme opposite of ego (the manifestation of Pride), would be lack of self-esteem, right? And I often seem to lack self-esteem, which I must say is my fault.

    Fortunately, being bumbly humble helps a bit with people of great ego. All the better I can do is to ignore people with huge egos. After all, eventually they'll fall, and fall very harshly.

    The Final Boss Theorem:
    The size of the ultimate form of the final boss is inversely proportional to it's chances of actually beating your party. If you agree with this, please copy and paste this valuable piece of info on your sig. AND, if you're evil and villainous...never settle for a big form when a smaller form is more kickass...


    'Tis a shame I can only place names now...:

    Fellow Seekers, I recently learned some news that is going to affect this club forever. I don't know if any of you know about it or not already but either or here it is. Quoted from the Andro himself.

I and others have bent the rules too much for them and I'm not going to allow that anymore.
    I found this in the new club discussion thread that was created today. So what are your thoughts knowing if this club ever becomes inactive it is the end? We are the last light that will ever burn in the TFF clubs. In fact faction wise The Masters, and SoI are the only two remaining.
