I'm thinking of making a roguelike

[Confidence Interval]

It'd be the same for you if you came to Europe (presuming you're not half-Irish or something - don't you have an Irish surname?). My partner might object to the arranged marriage thing, unfortunately, so it'll have to be a job.

[Grimm]

Already have a UK passport - dual citizen. Lived there for a while a long time ago.

[Confidence Interval]

Leaving perfidious Albion is no bad thing.

[Grimm]

No friend of the Sassenach you.

[Confidence Interval]

Albion represents all of Great Britain, in my understanding.

[Grimm]

The 'perfidious' modifier restricts it in mine.

[Confidence Interval]

We're all pretty treacherous, really.

[Grimm]

A Cretan paradox!

[Confidence Interval]

I'm not certain that being treacherous and being a liar are logically equivalent so I don't think this qualifies.

[Grimm]

I have to grant you that.

[Confidence Interval]

You are generosity incarnate.

[rebthor]

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Irish? Or the Jews? Or the Mountain Dwarves?

As an Irish Jew, I'm not sure how to respond to this.
Maybe

[Grimm]

Or maybe

Well, I was ascribing a positive attribute (wisdom) to them so if you regard saying that a group is good, based on a racial or ethnic definition of that group, as racism then you may have a case. That's probably not what most people mean when they refer to racism, though.

[rebthor]

I was kidding anyhow (not about the Irish part or the Jew part, just the "I think it was racist" part)

[Grimm]

Joke Police!

[Confidence Interval]

That's you, isn't it?

[Grimm]

To be perfectly honestish, I'm not sure.

[Confidence Interval]

You make a smartass comment.
Grimm changes reality by creating a new thread, erasing his own comment, and placing your contribution out of context.
You look foolish.

[Confidence Interval]

Are you coming out here for realsy? We should have a Crawlcon.

Crawlcon begins a week today in Vancouver, BC. Currently registered attendees: 1.

[Grimm]

It's a mere six hours by train. I wouldn't want to impose though.

[Confidence Interval]

Twelve-hour round trip is a long way just for me to buy you a couple of beers.

[Grimm]

a) I clearly have the free time.
b) "Couple" is a disturbing underestimate.

[Confidence Interval]

Not for me: I'm a lightweight.

[Grimm]

Not to mention I know some residents of Vancouver, so it wouldn't be all Crawl. On the other hand I do have the Tavern to moderate.

[Confidence Interval]

I think we could all agree that disaster would surely should the Tavern be allowed to become immoderate. I note with interest that this task is the only reason you give for not upping sticks and hitting the road.

[Grimm]

Well there's also my scotophobia.

[Confidence Interval]

Do you experience it in relation to definition one or definition two on that link?

[BlackSheep]

Perhaps both?

[Grimm]

ONE

[Confidence Interval]

I can see why you would want to stay at home, in that case.

[Grimm]

It's dark in Canada. So far north.

[Confidence Interval]

Much of Canada is further South than Scotland. Vancouver is less far north than where I grew up, so I am used to it.

In any case, it is summer and there will thus be more light if you travel north.

[Grimm]

Again with the facts.

[Confidence Interval]

Call me Gradgrind.

[Grimm]

Next you'll be telling me wendigos don't exist and aren't a serious threat to visitors to Canada.

[Confidence Interval]

Wendigos do not exist in Crawl and ergo do not exist at all.

[Grimm]

Canada doesn't exist in Crawl either - and don't say "Ice Cave", that is not funny - therefore you will be spending your time a week from now in NOTHINGNESS.

[Confidence Interval]

you will be spending your time a week from now in NOTHINGNESS.

I welcome the relief from Samsāra.

I will also be eating lots of sushi and drinking cold Canadian beer. And engaging with the international news-media. It's all good.

[Grimm]

And surreptitiously sexting Kate Beaton no doubt.

[Confidence Interval]

Distance from my current location to where Kate Beaton (according to her website) lives, NYC: c.3335 miles
Distance from Vancouver BC to where Kate Beaton (according to her website) lives, NYC: c.3080 miles

Being in the nothingness of ultima thule isn't going to make much difference in terms of either distance or territory.

[Grimm]

You're hyperaware of where she is. You can feel her breathing.

[Confidence Interval]

New unique proposal: Kate Beaton.

[Grimm]

Here's a bit of Canadian culture you might be interested in. The magisterial but frequently NSFCS* Space Moose.

* Not Safe For Civil Society

[Confidence Interval]

This amused me, thank you. I am looking forward to sampling the various delights of Canadian/Pacific NW culture soon.

[Grimm]

It is the best part of the world. You're coming at the nicest time, weatherwise.

[Confidence Interval]

Yes, I noted that when I looked up the weather - not dissimilar to England at this time of year, in fact.

[Grimm]

Only less of the Home Counties haze.

[Confidence Interval]

I do not live in that part of the country so that does not trouble me. In fact, where I grew up had a very similar climate to the Pacific NW: pleasant summers, mild and wet winters.

[Grimm]

You'll be right at home.
