Sleeping if primarily what I did also when we lost power since it wasn't like there was anything else to do.

Like we used to say in the Army ...
Don't run if you can walk...
Don't walk if you can stand...
Don't stand if you can sit...
Don't sit if you can lie down...
If you can lie down, you can go to sleep...
When you sleep, you're not in the Army until you wake up!

Sounds to me like the frickin' ARMY of all things is encouraging lazyness. Since when does laying about doing nothing but sleeping win wars?Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 10:54 pm So basically do the least amount of effort? I like that.
PLEASE tell me I'm right in suspecting it's just some kind of metaphor for finding clever solutions to do things an easier, more efficient way or something like that.
And what's that "You're not in the army till you wake up" part about? I don't get it.
Edit; Wait wait wait, I got it...the army is trying to make fun of lazy people, right? Sarcastically quoting the kinda stuff a lazy person might say? And then that "wake up" line is to promote the army's ability to teach you discipline.
Re: Chat Thread 43: Good Ol' ArcWolves' Club (Voting's hard,OK?)
Sounds to me like soldiers comiserating about the hardships of army life and the solice of sleep and encouraging each other to take opportunities for rest when they are available
Plus, given the war Weston would have first been of age to fight in, I'd fully support any soldier whose coping method was to just try and survive by doing as little as possible. I've never been through hell, and I won't judge those who have

What would have been the first war he was able to fight in? Vietnam right? I only know about three great past wars and that is both world wars and Vietnam.

Just wanted to say, I was watching one of the steamers I follow play a game called Party Animals, and it absolutely reminded me of the comic.

Re: Chat Thread 43: Good Ol' ArcWolves' Club (Voting's hard,OK?)
I've never been much one for writing things - my creativity died sometime in my sophomore year of high school - but the other night at like 2am this idea came to me for some kind of fan writing that I could throw in the Fan Projects board. I'm probably not going to end up doing anything with it, but I wanted to put it down somewhere in case I change my mind. Maybe get some thoughts on it, who knows.
Inspired by some of the letters soldiers would write home to their loved ones in the Civil War, I had the idea to tell a story through the lens of such letters. Maybe of some regiment or group sent off to fight, and whoever their fighting managed to utilize/weaponize some of that cursed gold unbeknownst to the narrator(s), which starts out as a little-believed rumor that eventually becomes all too real. I've got a couple of ideas for scenes/letters already, but major plot details still aren't settled, e.g. who would they be fighting? Some sort of animal uprising? Would it actually be during the Civil War? If so, which side is it following? If it IS Civil War or shortly thereafter, it might be able to tie in some of the "Confederate Gold" myth; the other side has to have gotten their hands of that cursed gold somehow.
Anyway, just some thoughts and ideas I wanted to get down/share before I forget, even though, as I said, I'm not likely to do anything with them.

The idea really sounds like one that would be intriguing! I don't think your creativity died completely after your sophomore year of high school and it is just hiding!
Re: Chat Thread 43: Good Ol' ArcWolves' Club (Voting's hard,OK?)
Maybe just need a little inspiration.
Re: Chat Thread 43: Good Ol' ArcWolves' Club (Voting's hard,OK?)
Thinking about making a thread in this specific forum thats "Not the Comic" where I essentially review all manner of video games (Primarily older video games, even going as far as reviewing all manner of emulation equipment as well as various accessories among other stuff.)

Isn't there already a Video Games thread you could use?

There is. That’s be fine.

I think he would want to do a thread where he reviews video games and equipment and if he did that in the actual thread it would end up cluttering up with the other posts that don't have his reviews in it and it would be hard to find a review with the other posts that end coming through talking about other things.
Re: Chat Thread 43: Good Ol' ArcWolves' Club (Voting's hard,OK?)
Exactly what I was thinking when I asked about said game review thread. I'll see to it that I have something ready around December 27th or so.Amazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 1:05 am I think he would want to do a thread where he reviews video games and equipment and if he did that in the actual thread it would end up cluttering up with the other posts that don't have his reviews in it and it would be hard to find a review with the other posts that end coming through talking about other things.

Yeah, but they'd be perfect for the video game thread. Unless you were planning on doing a review a day, which you'd have to be insane to attempt

I think he plans on doing them frequently but not that frequently and it would still be hard to try to find all of them when people change the topic in the main video game thread.

Only song I know by him is "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" which I know because it was in a scene in the movie Beetlejuice.
