    ===ATTENTION===
    My Apologies
    My alarm did not go off, I woke up late. I'm arriving soon for the meeting, for those that have any interest in it still. I understand if someone is upset with me.​
    • No heavy combat armor.
    • No distracting facial obscuring items. While you have right to wear something to hide your identity, I'm not letting someone show up with a flashing kabuki mask or something.
    • No large/automatic weapons- this means melee weapons and firearms. Personal defense weapons are allowed for your comfort- I know that some people just don't feel safe without carrying something.
    • Do not arrive intoxicated.
    • Do not arrive with intent of provoking people, or be subjected to me punching you in the gut with my robotic limb.
    • No explosives, smoke producing objects or stink bombs.
    • No drugs, this includes alcohol and tobacco.
    Failure to comply to rules vary, from verbal warnings to outright discharge of the room/premises.
    If I see problems with armor and weapons, I'm going to move our meetings to Mud where you can't have weapons PERIOD.

    I would not be opposed to meeting others in person, though I would prefer to volunteer as an assistant rather than someone seeking help, if that's okay.

    I see nothing wrong with that. Everyone and anyone is welcome to a group like this, including people who just want to offer a hand.

    Depends. I don't want any fucking people complaining about their stubbed toe and saying it gave them post traumatic stress disorder. This shit isn't a joke and I won't go anywhere near this if it turns into one.

    People are free to share at their own risk of being judged by others. I have already decided that if some asshat shows up trying to be a joker, we kick his ass out of the building. So it should only be people who really need help.

    There is enough people to make this an actual thing. I'm going to try and figure out where a good meetup place would be. Maybe the Upside town hall if it's available, but I'll still be looking into things.
    If you know of a place that might be good for a group, let me know, I wouldn't mind doing less work!

    Upside's library is a decent location, in my opinion. The town hall wouldn't be a very suitable location.

    Sounds like this could do me some good. I'll come along, but, if this does turn into a joke like Sarah said with some douchebag trying to ruin it, I'm walking.

    If we have a time and a place, let me know.

    Open doors, come and go as you please, we're not keeping anyone at bay. (You can drop out whenever. Just say "bye" and head off :p)

    ((However long people bother to stay. Oakie has nothing to do, so he could stay there all day and talk. He'll be there until he's called away or has to go. The group is dynamic, you can leave or come as you please.))
