Appears I'm a few weeks behind since my last blog entry, and by the looks of
things no one really cares anyways.  So this time, I'm feeling all sorts of
mean with this entry.  But first, what have I been up to in real life?  With
spring now really coming around, been working out on the farm every weekend. 
I'm getting close to having next winter's wood supply put away in the shed. 
This weekend, Dad and I finished the replanting of the trees and arbovidas
that died out of the wind break.  We innoculated the cattle and the dogs for
the coming year and did all sorts of other spring clean-up work.  In about a
week from today, Dad will start planting the corn crop for this year.  I'll be
taking a week away from work to help out.  Here's hoping for warmer and
relatively dry weather during that time.  And no wind!!!  It has been so
breezy around here this spring with the jet stream seemingly camped out over
the Midwest the last few months.

And now for my mean rant.  Current Bat reinc system has got to be the most
retarded set-up that I could think up with only permanent death being even
lamer.  Let's punish the players for wanting to play and experiment.  Two
months for lowest rate and then force them to run on the xp treadmill for
weeks to make up the xp back?  For the retired old pricks such as myself, I'll
never get enough time around to finish up a reinc.  I'm sure many players will
agree that you have the most fun is when you are done reincing and partying
and not leeching xp so they can get enough xp to make lvl 42.  Stupid system,
make it go away.  Rant over.  In spite of this, I doreadily admit that most of
the changes have been good and the game has been improving.  For me, my stage
in life has forced me past having the zeal and time to devote to gaming on
here.  Still don't keep me from loggin on and complaining a bit though. 
Someone has to keep the wizards honest. ,)   Shoutout to Boot, (I bet you're
the only one who reads my blogs still.)
