Small group int. checks

I should really be doing more important things right now, but Christmas break is coming up and if my memory is to be trusted, it'll be school again before I can get a role play up and running if I wait until then. So. I'm looking for one or two people to RP with, no more than two. I once let a bunch of people into a role play that was supposed to only have three players total and things quickly got way out of hand, so I'm putting my foot down this time. I'll not have any more than two other people in this RP. I've got a few ideas myself, but I'm open to any of yours. Keep in mind that I'm pretty uptight about grammar, so please at least know the difference between "you're" and "your." If you don't, though, check this out-- http://www.roleplaygateway.com/perfect-your-grammar-editing-services-t65363.html . I won't hassle you about slang or chatspeak if you know when and where to use it. I don't care too much about post length, but detail's nice. Shoot for maybe a paragraph per post. If you like longer posts, I'll try to match mine to yours.

The stuff I'll RP with:
Any kind of fantasy, including its sub-genres--dark, modern, medieval, etc.
Sci-fi--I really like playing with dystopian societies, steampunk, and fantasy/sci-fi blends.
Pre-made story worlds--if you're writing a story and want to RP with the world you've made, I'm more than happy to join.

Stuff I'm not comfortable/skilled with, but willing to try out:
Realistic/modern-day things
Romance (I'm okay to try some romance, but I'd like to keep it controlled and realistic and not gushy.)
Zombies

Stuff I won't do:
Fanfiction (You'd be hard-pressed to find any fandom I'd know anything about, anyway)
Anything R-rated
Boarding schools or vampires, unless you can convince me that your idea is really original
Band RPs

Ideas:

1.) Trapped in the Witch's Mansion: Our characters wake up to find themselves locked in a labyrinthine castle in the hands of a bored witch looking for some sadistic entertainment. They must search for the key to freedom, all the while avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and keeping each other alive. Death and injury are very possible in this RP.

2.) Choose your own adventure: Remember those old books where you spent half your time reading and the other half flipping through the book, looking for the right page? This will be kind of like that, except I'll make it up as we go. I'll do all the writing and you can have your character decide which path to take. A detailed character profile is encouraged so I can write them well.

3.) DINOSAURS!: A civilization has risen and fallen. All humanity has now are solar-powered laser guns and the dinosaurs they cloned from fossilized blood. Tribes of people with tamed dinosaurs, among them utahraptors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utahraptor), triceratops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triceratops), and parkosaurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parksosaurus) live nomadic lives in what used to be North America, having epic dinosaur races, epic laser gun battles, and epic laser gun battles while riding racing dinosaurs. The Rule of Cool and the Rule of Funny drive this RP.

Flood threat for Ark., Tenn., Ky., Ohio, even Texas

By The Weather Channel and msnbc.com staff

Heavy rain could bring flooding to parts of Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and even drought-stricken Texas Sunday and Monday, The Weather Channel warned.

In a posting on its website, Chris Dolce, a meteorologist at The Weather Channel, said some 1 to 3 inches of rain was expected across a swath of the central U.S., from Texas to Ohio, where the ground was already saturated with water.


However, up to 6 or more inches are possible in some parts, he warned.

"Excessive rains over saturated soils are not a good combination. As a result, we are looking at a flood threat Sunday into Monday," in the affected areas, Dolce said.

"Flood watches have been issued for portions of the region, including the Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, Tenn., and Paducah, Ky. metro areas," he added. In an update to the posting, Dolce said there was also a flood watch for Cincinnati, Ohio.

Some 83 percent of Texas is still affected by an extreme drought, the second worst category.

However, Dolce said the weather front "has the potential to dump an inch or more of much needed rain in portions of the eastern and central Texas."

"The swath of heavy rain also covers adjacent areas of northwest Louisiana, which could also use significant rains due to the prolonged drought. That said, too much rain too quickly could cause some flooding even in drought areas," he cautioned. "This is a case of potentially receiving too much rain to fast."

A band of snow affecting the Midwest was lingering in parts of Wisconsin and Michigan early Sunday, but it was expected to diminish during the morning, The Weather Channel also reported.

Carrier IQ, in a new press release, reminds us it works for the carriers

Carrier IQ

Carrier IQ has issued a new press release defending its business and reminding us all that it works not unilaterally, but for the operator -- the carrier. The nut:

Carrier IQ acts as an agent for the Operators. Each implementation is different and the diagnostic information actually gathered is determined by our customers – the mobile Operators. Carrier IQ does not gather any other data from devices.

We've got a massive discussion coming up on the podcast, folks.

Check out the whole press relase for yourself after the break.

1 killed in explosion outside central China bank (AP)

BEIJING ? One person has died and several others have been injured in an explosion at a bank in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.

A city fire and rescue official says the explosion occurred early Thursday evening outside a branch of state-owned China Construction Bank.

The official says that there was no resulting fire and that the cause of the explosion is unknown. Like many Chinese bureaucrats, the official would give only his surname, Zhou, because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said he was not clear about how many people were injured.

Accidental gas explosions occur with some frequency in Chinese cities, while homemade bombs are often used in committing crimes or in revenge attacks because of tight controls on gun ownership.
