750 AD. A rebellion in the Hulgade Kingdom has led to tensions between King Jomarsson and a band of insurgents, led by Jarl Kotzrul. In an effort to escape the enmity of the mainland, Kotzrul has taken to the seas and led his people to a strange new land to grow and prosper away from the King. But it appears as if they aren't alone...

You are a member of Kotzrul's new clan and must help your fellow men build a new home in the midst of foreign terrain and the wake of an unforgiving winter.

Not really a huge bug, but at the beginning of the game, on the page where you choose your character's alignment, the character race is always listed as Human, regardless if you may be a Dwarf or Elf.

Other than that I haven't really uncovered many bugs, but I haven't progressed that far into the game yet. I'm having a lot of fun with it though. It's much more entertaining than that dice game it's replaced.

There's a Halloween party another student is hosting...on a Monday. Yikes. Other than that, not much.

I don't think I have an actual costume prepared either. I got some hamster mascot suit for $20 at some cheap store but I dunno.

Well a family member passed away at 81, my grandfather. He had major health complications due to a long life of heavy drinking and smoking, yet he refused to speak up about his pain and issues. It's something my family especially likes to do - hide their problems and try to fix it themselves, but look where that took him. My father had just returned back from a short venture to his family to attend the funeral and express his condolences in person. He insisted on going alone.

Before this I was lucky enough to have grandparents on both sides alive - on my mother's side they were very polite and generous people, supporting my parents' decision to come to the United States fully, but on my father's it was a different story. My grandmother on my father's side hardly cares for anyone except her for granddaughter that has never done anything in her entire life rather than be endlessly spoiled. And her mother (my aunt) is also a stuck-up, irresponsible brat. Like mother, like daughter. My grandmother didn't care all too much for my father, who actually tried to do something meaningful and productive with his life and further his education, as well as even start up his own business. She never minded her grandchildren overseas who, despite constant financial complications among other issues, were striving to further their education and make an impact on their communities. And who my grandmother didn't care for, she despised. She tears down my mother and her family and makes it her life's goal to consistently shame us, though for what reason, I don't know. But alas.

I'm also constantly getting sick. Fighting through a nasty cold right now.

And to throw in a little shitty first-world problem, just to shake things up a bit, my PC is sluggish as hell. Woe is me.

There's a lot of things I regret from my CYS experience: rushing into things I'm not prepared for (c o n t e s t s), my awful fucking username, my procrastination on shitty storygames. But now I'm back and maybe(?) better than before. So what's been happening in my absence? From what I've gathered there's been a few contests running, so that's pretty cool.

Can't say I wasn't expecting that, really. I've done the compass quiz before and got a similar result.
