Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Hello everyone! Remember, the back room is for roleplaying. Well sort of, anyway.

Re: QM (back room) - Ye Olde Days

*follows Em in, still worried and unhappy*

If Mama isn't here in 20 minutes, I'll go out all the same - sitting here waiting is driving me crazy, and the day is too nice to waste by sitting here worrying and procrastinating (because I can't concentrate on anything anyway)

That is a good plan, Magpie.

Re: QM (back room) - Ye Olde Days

Or, if we don't feel like roleplaying, we can start a new Mint.

*orders a really cute patron to "stand and deliver"*

Hee! I've still got it!

ETA: I'll start a new Mint! *hops off*

One tea, please, bartender. And could you please put out a beer for Reg and put it on my tab? Thanks!

This room has been around longer than I've been posting in the Mint.

Careful, don't wake up any spiders!

Bamboo sticks are good for many things, but not spiders.

Libra, and now we both go and read MST.
And when we return the new Mint that Em will open shortly might be half spent already. Yeah.

Goodnight for good.
