Operon

Whoops, forgot to check this thread. I have, I am called Operon in game... I usually do BGs and hang out with Canderous and Manifold.

Alas, we're debt rich and cash poor, her laptop wouldn't run the game and I don't see a new one (or desktop) in the near future.

We often have scattered or broken clouds, with overcast skies being the norm large parts of the fall, winter, and spring. However, it just makes the sunny days all that more satisfying when they appear! It often drizzles in those 3 seasons, but our actual total rainfall isn't unusual for the lattitude, it's just we got periods of days or longer where there is on and off drizzle or rain. It's rare that we get downpours like the Midwest and South are used too, just a lot of gentle sporadic rain...sometimes it gets to you like chinese water torture. The summers, however, are fantastic. Room temperature or warmer most days, often high pressure, sunny weather for weeks at a time with only brief clouds or rain to interrupt. And the days are longer than most of the continental US. We have a lot of retired "snowbirds" that live here in condos or vacation homes in the summer, and live in Arizona or Florida for the winters. This period of nice weather lasts from about late June through mid September. Best kept secret is the tap water, It's some of the cleanest, purest water you will drink in the country. I often travel out of state to the Midwest and to California and the Southwest. My amazement at how foul and disgusting the tap water tastes is unceasing. I'll trade a lot of cloudy days for tasty water anytime!

Well, my phone has eaten my last two attempts at an introduction with many witty comments and anecdotes...but a good friend suggested this is the guild for us to join in Wildstar so here's the condensed version: I played a lot of EVE Online, Tribes, Battlefield, and Diablo 2 in Hardcore mode. I've dabbled in many other games, but those were the ones that touched my soul. Especially EVE, it was beautiful how the Devs allowed the scheming and scamming, and you could spend weeks or months aquiring the most valuable weapons or items and have them taken from you in the most secure space. It's not real open world PVP until you can loot the corpses (or wrecks) of your slain foes. My thing I do to pay for fun stuff: IT for a healthcare system in Seattle. I enjoy sailing and flying. When I was 14 I started flying gliders (full scale for all you hobbyists ) and I hope to continue flying them well into my 80s. I have also done some diving in Puget Sound and teach sailing at the UW sailing club intermittently. Oh, and my wife is a helicopter pilot. You may now put me to the question(s)...
