Good morning, citizens of Off-topic. Today I want to take the time to declare that the State of the Union of Off-topic is [b]Strong[/b], and not only is it strong, but it is constantly evolving and getting better. New people, old people, all users coming together to make this forum a better place. Politics: Despite a recent day filled with politics, I am pleased to see that much of the political posts that can tend to be so toxic have largely quieted down. There are always going to be these posts, and I'm sure that the coming events in the real world will facilitate an upsurge, but for now we have peace. Role-playing: Also in recent happenings we've seen a surge in dedicated roleplay groups. Milton's [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Groups/Chat?groupId=3774846]Generation Vice[/url] is an ambitious roleplay "server" that is ran by a prominent member of the older role-playing days (Note: Generation Vice is currently under "development" but you can join the group and learn the classes, world, tech, and all the other myriad options via the group). Isabell Haestrom's [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/252631690/0/0]Hearthshine[/url] is an active themed roleplay that is open to all as soon as you've made your character. SENATE BILL #3 has passed in the Senate, marking September 20th as national Nathan Fillion, a holiday for Off-topic to enjoy a great actor and generally misbehave. Have a fantastic week, Off-topic, and a delightful Fourth of July.
