Here is a recent demo by JAARS pilot Mike Mower, the announcing may very well be Nathan Mackey. When this Helio comes up for sale, you may want to sign right up. This one was once the "Grey Goose"
I liked this paint scheme originally, but now it looks like a Cessna 206 in a way. Any Helio with the Queen Mary porthole rear window should have the original 3 color paint scheme that were offered by Helio and painted in Mena, AR.
This is my two cents, and in no way reflects the personal tastes of others.
When this airplane becomes available, I hope that someone realizes the value of this icon.
Now, about that paint. Here we go.
Color schemes here are a couple photos but the main thing is the 'belly pod', that needs to go. Lance Goodwin removed the cargo pod on c/n 1243 and the performance increase was noticeable.
The narrator was Scott Zibell.

First Impression: Hyrule Warriors (Wii U) ~ Zelda with a War.
During my two week break, I got my hands on a Wii U. Honestly, it wasn't really a break; I just didn't had time due to various reasons. But let's put that aside, since I think it's time for a new article. Today, I'm going to give my first impression of one of the games I bought the Wii U for. Hyrule Warriors. It's was so hard to not watch any video or read any review of it. Honestly, it paid off. The other games I bought are Zelda – Wind Waker HD and Bayonetta 1 & 2. Fun fact, when I told this to my buddy MiseryLC, he said: "Wow, I thought that those games were totally not your style." Hehehehe. In any case, let's begin with this article. As usual, feel free to write your opinion on the content of this article and/or the game in the comment section down below.
It's a blast
I expected a sort of hack-and-slash game. I got what I ordered. But what I didn't expect was the amazing story.
Minor spoiler here, but it feels like it's the story about the big Hyrule war for the triforce that's often mentioned in other Zelda stories.
While Nintendo published this game, the developers made sure to use the Zelda lore to its fullest extent. Koei Temco Games & Team Ninja used a lot of Zelda characters and none felt out of place for me. The new characters introduced could as well be Zelda characters, they are that good designed.
The voice acting of the narrator is a okay at best. I like my stories told with a bit more emotion. Don't get me wrong, it's very well done. What I really like about the game is that they didn't give the Zelda characters voices. They used text boxes to tell the story. Very good job, since you didn't disappoint the fans with possible badly chosen voices.
Also, when you buy the DLC for this game, it adds background stories to some characters. I haven't played the DLC stories yet, but that will come soon. Since the game has it's hooks in me. Since I bought my Wii U, I have played this game more then I like to admit.
Slash those enemies
The gameplay is easy to explain. You are in war with one or two other armies. You need to conquer keeps. You do that by first defeating the guards and then the keep boss. A keep spawns more allies. The more keeps you have, the better. In some scenarios, you have to avoid the death of some characters. This "defeat condition" made me seat on the edge of my chair various times.
The game uses some nasty tricks sometimes. When you think the character you need to protect is safe, a horde of enemies come and attack. Not only attack, but they charge towards the character you need to protect.
Various maps also have special situations that can occur. Like in Death Mountain, if you don't conquer two keeps, the enemies throw rocks at your main base. When your main base gets destroyed, it's game over. Same counts for the enemies. When you destroy their main base, it's game over for them.
The only thing that they could improve on in the gameplay department is that the enemies might be a bit more intelligent or the allies for that matter. I encounter them sometimes just standing there. But truth to be told, writing code that would put AI to each and every enemy would be should a pain. You would think that the game is easy then. Well, if you keep paying attention and fight the right enemies or fight the right battles… this game isn't that hard. Granted, I have only played on the normal difficulty now so I still have to play the "hard" difficulty.
In some other reviews I read a very valid point, this game can be repetitive. Honestly, it is. After a few hours, the game is repetitive… But I enjoy this game so much that I always want more fights and battles to play. So, I don't mind the repetitiveness of this game.
Another complaint is that this game is a "mash buttons to win" game. Well, I have issues with that statement in general. The negative I see is that you have a way to win where there is no skill involved. But hey, using the combo's makes a nice visual thingy too look at.
I want to talk more about the gameplay, but I will leave that up for the review when I finished the story mode and played a bit more of the other modes.
Is it good or is it great?
So, in the previous part, I touched upon the graphics of this game. And let me tell you, they are amazing. The areas you visit look colorful and/or have the right atmosphere. The battlefields are so well designed that the keeps are real strategic points that armies would use in a real life battle.
Apart from the game being eye candy, it's really amazing how this game has such a fluent animation. Often, there is a lot going on, on screen but it rarely drops to a low framerate. And when it drops… It drops to 15-20 frames, which isn't that bad. But in general, this game runs at a steady 60fps.
What blows my mind even more are the animations. There made me feel being a real bad-ass hero several times. I really like the combos you can pull off.
To wrap up, let me talk about the soundtrack. It's one of the best soundtracks I have heard this year. I adore the soundtrack of mainstream Zelda games and this game is no exception. The soundtrack is so well done, that I want to hunt down a CD of it.
So, I think I'm going to wrap up my first impressions here. I actually want to talk a lot more about this game but I'm leaving that for the review. And also, long time readers know that I often leave some parts out since I want that some parts are for you guys to figure out.
In any case, thank you for reading this article and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I also hope to welcome you in at another article on my blog. But until then, take care and game on!

1953: Norodom Sihamoni: The King of Cambodia who is a Ballet Master and Speaks Czech
Photo Credit To Wikipedia Commons
Historical event:
King Norodom Sihamoni was educated in Europe, and he is even a ballet instructor. He spent most of his childhood and adolescence in Prague.
The current Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni was born on this day in 1953. He inherited the throne from his father Norodom Sihanouk in 2004.
Before Norodom became a king, he was a delegate to the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. It is interesting to note that Norodom Sihamoni was educated in Europe, and he is even a ballet instructor.
Sihamoni's name is derived from a combination of his parents' names (King Sihanouk and Queen Monineath). His mother, Queen Norodom Monineath, was actually named Paula Monique Izzi (a French name).
Namely, she was the daughter of a French banker Jean-François Izzi, who was of Corsican, French and Italian origin. The mother of Queen Moninetah, i.e. grandmother of the present king, was from Cambodia.
Sihamoni spent most of his life outside Cambodia. As a child he was sent to Prague, where he received his education in the field of music and ballet. It is interesting to note that he learned the Czech language. Namely, Norodom Sihamoni is the only monarch in the world, who speaks Czech.
He lived in Paris during the 1980s, where he taught ballet. Later, as mentioned, he became a delegate of Cambodia to UNESCO. He visited Prague, the city of his childhood and youth, many times.
In 2004 Norodom Sihamoni succeeded his father, who had abdicated. When Norodom became king, he was 52 years old. It is interesting to note that he became a honorary citizen of Prague in 2006.

'All in this together'
22 Dec 2020 | Dr. Abeer Hassan Dr. Abeer Hassan, Reader in Accounting, School of Business and Creative Industries, University of the West of Scotland, reflects on how integrated thinking at micro and macro levels have helped sector respond to the Covid-19 crisis, focussing on the experience and examples from her own institution.
Integrated thinking (1) on macro and micro levels in UK HEIs during the Covid-19 crisis - insights from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS).
Universities have a unique place in society. They are not only centres of creative thinking and innovation but they also fulfil many additional roles, providing leadership, advice and support. As a result, academics and scientists are the nation's powerhouses of knowledge and are playing a critical role in the global response to the pandemic, informing decision-making through their expertise.
UK medical schools, too, have been on the frontline of this emergency, supporting the NHS and the social care services. The medical schools have provided additional medical staff – from clinical academics to final year medical graduates. Newly qualified doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and paramedics have been fast-tracked to help. In addition, engineering expertise called out to solve the health care challenges in terms of ventilators, PPE equipment, and so forth. Academics in other disciplines have fulfilled their duties and they adopted very quickly to reposition their research focus to help to deal with Covid-19 crisis.
Many universities started to offer free webinars in areas such as 'managing in crisis', 'working virtually' and 'responsible businesses' to try to help communities and businesses. At UWS, a partnership between the University's medical staff, the engineering department and industry partners to devise a new form of reusable PPE with a self-circulating air supply was just one of the many examples of integrated thinking. And there are many other examples of UK HEIs who have combined efforts with private sector organisations to form partnerships to develop critical research programmes. As well as this, Social Sciences research has analysed the impact of Covid-19 on communities in towns and cities; Business Schools are studying the pandemic's economic disruption. And on top of this, universities have had to rise to the challenge to continue with their teaching commitments.
Below, I share some specific examples on how UWS and its researchers helped the country during the pandemic:
The UWS School of Health and Life Sciences, jointly with the University of Stirling's Health Sciences and Sport, developed a facemask prototype in a partnership with ARC; this facemask helps prevent the spread of Coronavirus. In addition, an innovative Covid-19 training solution for healthcare professionals – based on gaming technology – has developed through a collaboration involving UWS, Edinburgh Napier University and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) (3). Furthermore, academics from UWS have played a key role in the production of innovative thin film-based chips that will help prevent the spread of coronavirus. Working in partnership with Glenrothes-based semi-conductor foundry Semefab, UWS researchers have produced the technology that embedded in non-contact thermometers, with the firm receiving orders for more than 12 million of the chips from across the world (4). UWS had coverage wide coverage for the first-of-its-kind research into the impact of menstrual cycles on elite sporting performance (5). Moreover, UWS researchers led a Covid-19 rapid research project funded by the Scottish Government on the impact of social distancing and isolation on physical and mental health. The project will assess changes in people's activity from both before and during lockdown, by collecting data from individuals' wearable technology and using a new, specially-designed, app to examine the differences (6). UWS students and graduates have played their part too: an award-winning graduate apprentice engineer has helped to produce ventilators, saving lives nationwide. He undertook a Graduate Apprenticeship (GA) with Wishaw-based precision engineering firm Swissmatic, with the learning component provided by UWS (7). Two UWS student nurses have documented their experiences just over a month since joining the frontline fight against coronavirus on the COVID ward at NHSGGC Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley (8) – they talk about what it is like to join the workforce as band four student nurses during the global pandemic.
Integrated thinking at a micro level was happening within and across departments in universities too: For example, HEIs worked closely with their IT departments to have the reliable infrastructure that allowed continuous and timely communication with both staff and students. Institutions faced an unprecedented challenge of the sudden to move online education, requiring leadership, creativity, agility and not least cooperation to reinvent delivery and implement how to run campus operations virtually.
Focusing on my own institution, there was a significant evidence of integrated thinking. For example, the 'People and Organisation Development' department (P&OD) quickly provided support for managers, with sessions on mindfulness, coping strategies, and positive thinking. They went further, and offered sessions on mental health, student/staff welfare resources, how to be able to cope with stress. The research service department at the Doctoral College also offered exceptional support by facilitating research fund calls related to Covid-19 and continuing to offer first class routine support/help for academics; this includes the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) group and the 'wonderful and amazing' contribution they offered to businesses, academic staff and students. The IT department worked diligently and tirelessly to help both staff and students, dealing with an unlimited number of queries to allow everyone to have Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access their office computers from home. In addition, they offered continuous training sessions for staff on teaching platforms, how to record videos, etc. Furthermore, the UWS academy contributed enormously to teach and assess Advance HE Fellowship categories.
The forced move to the digitalisation of higher education in terms of teaching, learning and assessment, posed significant challenges, including adopting to the technical infrastructure, competence and pedagogies, and to meet the requirements to specific fields of study and, of course, the needs of students. Staff face difficult challenges, including upskilling with technology to be able to provide the same service virtually. There was a need for a shift in the mind-sets. For the university to do so, it had to communicate with a variety of stakeholders, including external examiners, quality assurance department, education futures department, exam units, exam boards, professional services, and the professional bodies. All parties committed to one aim: ensuring that students could continue learning, complete their term, and obtain their academic qualifications in a safe environment.
Every department in the whole institution worked 'around the clock' to find solutions to cope with this exceptional situation to offer the same – or as near – as learning experience to students as face-to-face. While academics were focusing on transferring their teaching material to suit the new way of delivery, other services – library, students' support services, timetabling, wellbeing support, students' union, education enhancement, students' engagement, students' association, etc, made invaluable contributions to the student experience.
UWS decided to implement a hybrid approach to learning, including asynchronous (pre-recorded videos) and synchronous (live sessions) to try to provide the best learning experience to students. To design the teaching material for the new term, I led on this particular project: "Investigating students' support for learning experience during COVID-19 & the way forward" (9).
Based on students' responses and needs, I developed teaching material and shared the results of the project with the whole university. Focusing on mental health and positive thinking during staff-student contact time helped to lift students and to build their resilience (10). Each school now runs more regular 'meeting & drop-in' sessions to share the good practice and to deal with any concerns in relation to teaching; and there is similar support for PhD students too.
Based on the above discussion, it is clear that integrated thinking within UWS internal departments/units collaborated and worked together, and collectively contributed to manage the Covid-19 crisis.
In conclusion, I have tried to illustrate how universities are so crucial to society and demonstrate the importance of research and expertise of HEIs; and value of 'integrated thinking' and 'working together approach' are to achieve any planned aim.
In the words of my Dean, "we should be kind to ourselves and kind to each other to be able to survive in this crisis".
Integrated thinking is defined as "the reflection of connectivity and interdependencies between various factors which affect an organisation`s value creation capacity" (King IV, 2016 p. 13). Integrated thinking is linked to the strategic management process and can facilitate organizational operation by changing the whole organizational culture through collaboration between different internal units to gain a better understanding and appreciate the impact of their behaviour and decision on their organization`s stakeholders (Del Baldo, 2017). The recent studies (Hassan et al., 2019 and Adhikariparajul, et al., 2020) recommended the adoption of integrated thinking in UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that make the connection and the interdependence between its internal units crucial to provide relevant information to stakeholders on value creation.

FC Pune City and ATK played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium in Pune on Sunday. The topsy turvy match saw the Stallions take the lead through a John Johnson own goal, but strikes from Jayesh Rane and Edu Garcia handed ATK the advantage. Robin Singh scored late in the match to help Pune rescue a point.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Pune head coach Phil Brown reflected on the match and said, "I don't think we played well enough in the final third. I thought we were too loose in the final third. We've got good players like Iain Hume, Marcelo Pereira, and I expect that little bit of quality that would hurt the opposition. I think it was a fair result. Both sides needed to win."
Asked if the dropped points meant an end of Pune's play-off dreams, the defiant Englishman declared, "We can still win four games. We haven't given up anything yet. We need to go on our journey and face NorthEast United FC and Jamshedpur FC. These will be two tough games. We are buoyed by the fact that we've now come back from staring at the face of defeat. There is a lot to admire in that," he said.
Brown's opposite number, ATK boss Steve Coppell, opined that, though disappointing, the result was perhaps a fair reflection of the match. "When we got 2-1 up, yes, I thought we deserved to win. But to be fair to Pune, they've won their last three games. They threw men forward and they made life difficult. We gave away a few silly free kicks in and around the box (and we paid the price). Our overall performance was good. But in the position we are in, we are disappointed," he said.
ATK midfielder Pronay Halder sustained an injury during the match and had to come off during the second-half. Providing an update on Halder's status, Coppell said, "As soon as he went down, I thought he was in trouble because it (the tackle) was right on the ankle and it was such a quick tackle. He's important to us. We've to wait and see tomorrow morning. We've only got four days before our next game. So, we are hoping he can recover quickly."


Our one year master's curriculum has been designed so that different courses cover related topics in thematic blocks in a coherent and coordinated manner. For example, during each block, classes cover the basic science principles, medical pharmacology, and the scientific literature (journal club) of various topics in a coordinated sequence. Our masters curriculum is also "objective based" in design, with each lecture or small group session having its own set of specific educational learning objectives designed to focus learning. These learning objectives are provided for each content hour, prior to each block of lectures. Examples have been posted online (see navigation bar above). A list of required & elective courses in our Masters program can be found on our pharmacology masters website. More detailed weekly course schedules & access to lecture media can be obtained using the above navigation bar (this is restricted to Tulane students & employees).
to broaden their approach to the practice of medicine so that their patients will obtain the maximal benefit of the application of the information and skills learned during the graduate study.
It is also possible for medical students to obtain research training in pharmacology working with a faculty member without pursuing a graduate degree.

America is Invading Mexico
May 23, 2019 May 23, 2019 by Craig Korkoian
A new report shows that Older Americans are invading Mexico
Mexicans are concerned that invading Americans will negatively impact the Mexican culture.
To stop this invasion, Mexico plans on building a great big beautiful wall
Thanks to Sarkes Corner Washington DC Bureau Chief Ashok Agrawal for his investigative report on the invasion of Mexico by Gray Americans.
Old, White Americans are immigrating to Mexico in Uuuuuuge numbers. Mexico is planning to build a great big beautiful wall and make America pay for the wall. Sarkes suspects that these reverse immigrants are all Demon Dems. Ironic?
There is a little-noticed surge across the U.S. / Mexico border, an invasion if you will, of Americans heading south to Mexico. The Gray American Barons of the 18th century built its mansions in Mexico, but today, the current Gray Americans invading Mexico are building Pickleball Courts.
Gray American Invaders love their Pickleball
The invasion started with just a few American retirees. Today, dozen Gray Americans fill the Pickleball courts at the municipal sports center most mornings, swinging paddles at plastic balls. It is anticipated that if the invasion of Gray Americans into Mexico continues, Pickleball will replace Soccer as the national sport of Mexico.
Pickleball will overtake Soccer as the national sport in Mexico
The Orange ICE Agent regularly assails the flow of migrants crossing the Mexican border into the United States. Less noticed has been the surge of people heading in the opposite direction. The Mexican Government estimated that the U.S. born population in their country has reached 1.5 Million, a fourfold increase since 1990. With Gray Democrats going to Mexico in record numbers and the elimination of the 5 million Illegal Mexicans who voted for Hillary, the Orange Premier will have a landslide win in 2020.
The Orange Ice Agent is not concerned of the migration of Gray Americans to Mexico as these are mostly Liberal Democrats
Americans, lead by the Gray Invaders, are Mexico's largest immigrant group. As in the United States, Mexicans are deeply divided over the invasion of the Gray Americans. While American immigrants in Mexico have largely been welcomed, there is still a concern on how they might impact the Mexican culture and economy. As an example, in the city of San Miguel, over 10% of the city's 100,000 residents are the Gray American Invaders. San Miguel's mayor now delivers his annual State of the Municipality address in English and Spanish.
Mexican authorities say that many of the Gray American Invaders are undocumented (illegal). Typically, they've overstayed their six-month visas. "Many People (in Mexico) Say" that they do not mind the Illegal Americans as they come to work or just spend their money in Mexico, just like illegal Mexicans living in America.
So why are Gray Americans invading Mexico? Given the dollar's strength against the Mexican peso, an American getting by on Social Security and a modest pension can rent a high-ceilinged apartment, hire a maid, and eat out most nights. So in Mexico, a Lower Middle Class White Democrat can live like a Rich Old White Republican does in America.
A lower middle class White American Democrat can have an opulent life of a Rich Old White Republican in Mexico
The Gray American Invaders are keeping their American Culture and have no need to learn and speak Spanish. One Gray American Invader, said,
"For the things you can't find, you just buy them off Amazon." This upsets many Mexicans who say that if the Invading Gringos want to live in Mexico they should speak Mexican. This is no different than Conservative Queen Sarah Palin who says that Immigrants in the United States should speak American.
Sarah Palin says all Immigrants should speak American, and the Orange Bird Dog likes her big Ta Tas
There's a dazzling array of activities for the English-speaking Gray American Invaders: the Rotary Club, Quilters' Circle, American Dancing Clubs, Golf, Alcoholics Anonymous., and, of course, Pickleball.
Gray American Invaders love to Dance, but not the Cha Cha
Gray American Invaders who drink too much Tequila can go to AA meetings
Since 2015, data from the American Government shows that more Mexicans have returned to Mexico than Mexicans moving to the United States, and the Invasion of Gray Americans is exponentially increasing.
As such, and in concern for the Mexican Culture, a source in the Mexican White House, code name SENIOR LEAKER, has told Sarkes that Mexican President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has ordered his Cabinet to start the planning for the building of a Great Big Beautiful Wall to stop the Invasion of the Gray Americans. And, Andrés Manuel López Obrador says that Americans will pay for the new Wall. After all, Americans are already paying for the big beautiful Trump Wall currently under construction.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador wants to stop the Invasion of Mexico
Mexico will build a wall to keep out the Gray Invaders and American Taxpayers will Pay
Sarkes is a Truth Machine and Sarkes Corner should be the news source for all Americans seeking the Truth. You will never see this story on Fox News Fair and Balanced. Sarkes has multiple degrees from several Universities, but none more prestigious than Trump University.

Does Trump Cheat at Golf?
Rick Reilly has written a book about how the Orange Duffer Cheats at Golf
Is this just another Vicious Attack, Hoax, Witch Hunt, Hit Job, Illegal Take Down, and Treasonous attack against the Orange Caddie?
There are a number of different Rules of Golf, so what seems like Cheating may not be. At Spring Run, some of us use the Pedersen Alternate Rules of Golf
The Orange Flag Stick is under constant Siege by the Liberal Press and Demon Democrats. The latest assault against the Orange Shanker is from Sports Writer, Rick Reilly. While both are famous Writers, do not mistake Rick Reilly for Bill Reilly.
Rick Reilly is leading the latest vicious attack on the Orange Ace
Bill Reilly was the Fox News Cash Cow but got the Old Heave Ho for P-Grabbing
Rick Reilly's new book; COMMANDER IN CHEAT, documents that the Orange Flag Stick is a Serial Cheater when he plays Golf. In addition to his Sports books, Reilly is best known for his work on ESPN and ABC Sports. With his vicious attack on the Orange Bogey, Reilly is obviously a Demon Democrat.
For sure, the Orange Bogey is the most proficient Presidential Golfer of All Time. It is projected that the Orange Mulligan will play over 600 rounds of Golf during his eight years in office as President, far surpassing the previous record established by Barrack Obama who played 306 round of Golf in his eight years in office.
Barrack Obama currently holds the record for Rounds of Golf played as President
It is estimated that the Orange Slicer will have played over 600 Rounds of Golf during his eight years in office, a Record that may never be broken.
The Orange Birdie should get credit where credit is due. He has kept most of his Campaign Promises………except 1. During his Campaign, the Orange Sand Bunker said:
"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf."
"I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don't think I'd ever see Turnberry (a Trump Golf Resort) again, I don't think I'd ever see Doral (a Trump Golf Resort) again, I don't ever think I'd see anything — I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who's gonna leave?"
The Orange Pinocchio has only flipped on one Campaign promise, not bad.
"Many People Say" you know when the Lier Lier Orange Pants on Fire is lying……his lips are moving
The foundation of Golf, from weekend Duffers to the Pros, is that the Sport is self-managed, there are no Umpires or Referees. So what are some of the Fake News allegations perpetrated by Rick Reilly on how the Orange Fairway Cheats when playing Golf:
Taking credit for several Club Championships when he did not complete in the Tournaments.
Lying about his Score
Hitting Multiple Balls without counting the strokes
Sabotaging the shots of his Opponents
Claiming during his Campaign that he was a "Winner" having won 18 Club Championships"
Claiming to have a 3 Handicap but Pros he has played with estimate that he probably is really a 10 Handicap
Taking a Competitors Golf Ball and throwing it into a Sand Bunker
Driving his Golf Cart across the Green
Always Tees off First even if he does not have the "Honors" (best score on the previous hole) and then drives down the Fairway before his Competitors hit their Tee Shot
Hitting a ball into Water and claiming he did not see it so he takes a second free shot
Putting a lower number on the Score Card than what he actually scored
The Orange Gimmie has been accused of Cheating when playing Golf
But is the Orange Stroke Play a Cheater when he plays Golf? Sarkes says Whooooa, not so fast. If one is playing Golf by USGA Rules then, yes, the Orange Ball Mark is a Cheater. BUT, there are more than one set of Rules when playing Golf. As an example, at the Spring Run Golf Club in Bonita Springs, FL, Sarkes home course, neighbor Eric Pedersen has developed an innovated set of Alternative Rules of Golf that are different from those used by the USGA. As such, when using the Pedersen Rules of Golf one could be accused of Cheating under the USGA Rules of Golf.
Eric Pedersen, originator of the Pedersen Alternative Rules of Golf
In his Book, Rick Reilly asked; Why does no one push back at all? Why does everyone he plays with just smile and let him cheat?. The answer:
Because it's his course. You get to play free, and he's probably gonna pay for lunch, but all that matters is that he wins. That's the only requirement when you're on the Trump train.
"Many People Say"; Sarkes, who cares? It doesn't even matter does it?
Well, Sarkes, a High Handicapper, does not know if any of accusations that the Orange Worm Burner are true. But, golf is based on integrity. Golfers call their own penalties. So if the Orange Divot Cheats at Golf, then why wouldn't he cheat on Taxes, Wives, Elections, Suppliers, things he said he said to people, things he wrote, etc? He could lie about anything if he's gonna lie about Golf.
But, on the other hand, this could all be another Vicious Attack, Hoax, Witch Hunt, Hit Job, Illegal Take Down, and Treasonous attack against the Orange Flop Shot.

Trouble at the Trump International Hotel in DC
A Pennsylvania man was arrested at Trump hotel Packing Heat
"Many People Say" that this is a travesty of justice by the DC Police
Thanks to Sarkeses man on the street in DC, Chris Agrawal, for this story from the posh Trump International Hotel in DC.
The Trump International Hotel is a 5 Star Luxury hotel on Pennsylvania Ave. Rooms start at $500 a night and is the hotel of choice of many foreign dignitaries, including Russian Oligarchs and friends of Vlads Putin. Trump Enterprises transformed the iconic US Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave into THE place to stay in DC (if you have TRICKLE DOWN).
The Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave is now the Trump International Hotel
Of course, Demon Dems and the Liberal Press maintain that foreign dignitaries staying in the Trump International Hotel in DC is a violation of the Emoluments clause of the US Constitution; Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8, that prohibits federal office holders from receiving any gift, payment, or other thing of value from a foreign state or its rulers, officers, or representatives. Maybe the foreign dignitaries and politicians just like a nice place to stay when in DC.
Can't the Demon Dems and Liberal Press give the Orange Entrepreneur a break? In his first two years in office, the Orange Pinocchio has never given us reason to doubt his truthfulness and integrity, ……. just ask him. So when the Orange Hotelier says that foreigners staying at the Trump International Hotel in DC do not influence him, we can take him at this good word, right?
The Trump International Hotel is DC is the favorite hotel for foreign rulers, politicians and oligarchs.
The Lobby of the Trump Hotel in DC has Uber Opulence, just like its owner
But back on Point. A man from Pennsylvania, Lee McCartney, 49, of Norristown, has been charged with bringing a handgun loaded with 15 hollow-point bullets to the Trump International Hotel in WDC during an event at which the U.S. Secret Service was screening guests.
McCartney told agents he had the Smith & Wesson in his car as he pulled up to a security checkpoint at the hotel's entrance. McCartney was arrested by D.C. police and charged with possessing an unregistered handgun and unregistered ammunition. While McCartney had a valid permit from Pennsylvania to carry a concealed weapon. DC Police said he was not registered to carry a weapon in the District.
Donors backing President Trump's reelection had gathered at the hotel Tuesday. Guests included industry executives, along with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Vice President Pence.
The President of the NRA, Carolyn Meadows said: "The NRA has been lobbying Congress to have Concealed Carry permits valid across the country. Mr. McCartney's 2nd Amendment Rights were violated by the DC Police when they confiscated his Fire Arm, and arrested him, a clear violation of his 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms"
The NRA is hurting for membership so picked a Skirt, Carolyn Meadows as its new President
The Orange Commander in Tweets tweeted:
Donald J. Trump @ realDonaldTrump – May 9 @ 4:46AM
This is another Travesty, a Hit Job, a Which Hunt, a Coup, a Failed Take Down against a great American and one of my Base, Lee McCartney, perpetrated by the DC Police. Instead of harassing my Base they should be confiscating the illegal firearms used by the Black and Hispanic Gangs in DC.
I beat the Democrats with the largest Electoral College victory in History, History! And if you take away the 5 Million votes casted by Illegal Mexicans I would have had a record victory in the popular vote. Now, the Democrats are harassing my Base to keep them from voting for me in 2020.
Most of the Orange Rifleman's Base Pack Heat
Sarkes is no stranger to the Trump International Hotel in DC. Sarkes was to meet the Orange Monarch there on 4 occasions but was stiffed by the Orange Duffer who chose instead to head to Mir-a-Lago for several rounds of golf.

The President of the NRA said: "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
A Conservative Friend of Sarkes said: "These Mass Murders with Heat weapons are just the price of our Freedom"
Countless Politicians said: "Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the victims of this shooting and their families, Thoughts and Prayers."
Another Conservative Friend of Sarkes said: "Mass Shooters go to Gun Free Zones, what do you expect".
That's if for this latest Mass Murderer(s) Packing Heat. Sarkeses use of the Standard Form should make reporting the next Mass Murder much easier.

English is a Second Language for the Florida Cracker
Four White people in a Florida-based gang are accused of beating a Black gang member unconscious and tattooing a racial slur onto his neck, which they misspelled
English as a Second Language (ESL) should be taught to Crackers and Crackerettes in Florida Elementary Schools
While generally recognized as a Genius, every now and then, Sarkes learns more about his Florida Cracker neighbors and life in general
Sarkes had generally believed that Gangs were homogeneous, i.e., comprised of like people, people of the same ilk. We are all familiar with Hispanic Gangs, Black Gangs, White Gangs (KKK), Italian Gangs (Mafia) and Rich Old White Men Gangs. BUT, in Florida, there is apparently at least one gang that embraces Diversity. This is so progressive.
Hispanic Gangs are "Mean Hombres"
Black Gangs kill each other in Chicago
Old Rich White Man Gangs getting richer, celebrating TRICKLE DOWN
The Crazy White Boys gang, (CWB), in Marion County Florida, is a role model for Gangs in that it embraces Diversity with Cracker members, Women members and Black members. Sarkes ponders the once the CWB embraced Diversity and welcomed Women and Black members, whey didn't they change their name? Hmmmmm Maybe the CWBs had a dwindling membership.
White Gang members Luke Evans, Brandon Hayley and Mary Elizabeth Durham were charged with aggravated battery and armed robbery for attacking Black Gang member Michael Hart. Black Gang Member Michael Hart told police that the Perps came to his home on the evening of Jan. 24 and shut the door. The Perps told Black Man Hart that they planned to cover his gang tattoo, "CWB" for Crazy White Boys, on his neck. Apparently, Black Man Hart had violated Gang rules.
The CWB Gang embraces Diversity
White Man Evans pulled out a knife and he and White Man Hayley held Black Man Hart down and began tattooing his neck. Black Man Hart tried to resist but was knocked out by White Man Hayley. Black Man Hart woke up to find the message "F–k, Niger" tattooed on his neck. Spelling is obviously not a strong suit for the Florida Gang Cracker as he meant to tattoo "F – – k, Nigger". Hmmmmmmmm
Black Man Hart said his hands were twisted and his butt hurt as though he had just been sodomized. He also saw blood, but couldn't provide any more details about the alleged assault. His cell phone had also been stolen.
The Perps, White Gang members Evans, Haley, and Durham, were arrested for armed robbery and aggravated battery. During their initial questioning by the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the Perps said said that they misspelled the tattoo and their intent was not to curse the landlocked West African nation, Niger.
Niger is a country in West Africa, close to where Obama was born
The Orange Diplomat calls Niger a "Shit Hole Country"
This is yet another example of the failed Elementary School systems in Florida. Sarkes, a man of solutions, highly recommends that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, in addition to making "The Art of the Deal" a mandatory read in Junior High Schools, make English as a Second Language (ESL) a required course in Florida Elementary Schools. Hmmmm, Sarkes ponders, is the Orange P-Grabber Tapping Betsy?
Betsy DeVos has no qualifications but does have big Ta Tas. In this pic, the Orange Sniffer is pointing out Betsy's qualifications
No friends, Sarkes does not make this stuff up. Many of you have led sheltered lives and do not realize that people like these Perps live amongst us in America, each in their own way, Making America Great Again.

Boeing Under Siege
April 29, 2019 April 29, 2019 by Craig Korkoian
Boeing has been in the news daily with vicious attacks
Boeing is a victim of a Hit Job, Hoax, Which Hunt, Coup, and Failed Take Down
Boeing is under siege by Whistle Blowers, the Liberal Press, The Government Accountably Office (GAO), and Third World Country Airlines.
Boeing has been accused of Design issues in the 737 Max8, and Foreign Object (FO) issues with the 787 and KC46 Tanker programs.
Boeing is the largest Aerospace company in the World and the largest EXPORTER of American Made products. Boeing employs over 150,000 Americans with high paying technical jobs. In addition to producing high Quality Commercial airplanes, Boeing produces high Quality products for the US Department of Defense. Just a few of these products are:
F/A 18 a much better value than the F35
B1 Bomber a workhorse for the US Air Force
Apache Helicopter provides close in support
Harpoon is one of many Boeing missiles
C17 State of the Art Cargo Plane
Boeing Satellites work 24/7/365
But wait, "Many People Say", Sarkes, how can you objectively report on these Boeing scandals as a retired Boeing Executive. Shouldn't your Recuse yourself from reporting on Boeing?
Sarkes Responds: Yes, Sarkes retired from Boeing, gets a Boeing Pension, has a few Boeing shirts, and may have a share or two of Boeing Stock. Having said that, Sarkes WILL NOT RECUSE himself from reporting on Boeing. Sarkes, a Truth Machine, is offended that his Journalistic integrity might be questioned. Sarkes is committed to Fair and Balanced reporting.
Sarkes has an extensive wardrobe of Boeing shirts and hats
On the question of whether Sarkes should Recuse himself for reporting on Boeing, the Orange Orator weighed in via Tweeter on Air Force 1 on his way to another great weekend of Golf at Mir-a-Lago:
Donald J. Trump @ realDonaldTrump – April 27 @ 11:56PM
"Unlike that coward Jeff Sessions, I applaud Sarkes for NOT Recusing himself from reporting on Boeing. Next to Sean Hannity, there is no more Fair and Objective reporter than Sarkes. Mr. Magoo Sessions is a Dumb Southerner and should have never Recused himself from the Russian Hoax, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else. Sarkes should stand strong against the Enemy of the People, the Fake News Media."
Mr. Magoo Jeff Sessions should have never Recused himself
Boeing has been accused of:
Taking short cuts in the accreditation process for the 737 Max8
Intimidating and manipulating the FAA
Sloppy manufacturing practices in leaving Foreign Objects (shavings, tools, etc) in the 787 and KC46 Tanker programs.
Conflict of Interest charges against Under Sec Def Pat Shanahan, a former Executive VP at Boeing
Sarkes and the crack Investigative Reporters at Sarkes Corner interviewed numerous Boeing employees from Mechanics, QA Inspectors, and Management. Also interviewed were employees of the FAA and Domestic Air Carriers.
Sarkeses Findings:
In regards to Pat Shanahan, it is true that he called the Lockheed Martin F35 program F – – ked Up. The GAO found that to be true, the F35 is BILLIONS of dollars over cost and YEARS behind schedule. Lockheed Martin has been feeding off the US Tax Payer Teat for years with their failed F35 program.
Sarkes worked for Pat Shanahan at Boeing and has seen that look, and knows exactly what he is thinking
In regards to the FAA, Boeing stated that they were following the instructions of the FAA, a regulatory agency, and the FAA had the final approval of the Accreditation of the 737 Max8
In regards to the FO in the manufacturing processes, Boeing said that FO has been a part of aircraft manufacturing for years, but Boeing makes sure that all FO is removed from the aircraft before delivery to the customer.
Boeing stated that in the few instances were FO was found by the customer, while it was possible it could have been Boeing's fault, it also could have been the Russians, or the Chinese, or a 400 lb guy sitting on a couch in his mothers basement.
"Many People Say" to Sarkes that they think it's Boeing's fault. Sarkes has talked to Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg; he said it's not Boeing. Sarkes will say this: he does not see any reason why it would be.
While Sarkes has great confidence in Whistle Blowers and the Liberal Press, Sarkes will tell you that Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg was extremely strong and powerful in his denial.
Look at Muilenburg — what he's doing with Boeing — I mean, you know, what's going on over there. I mean this guy has done — whether you like him or don't like him — he's doing a great job in rebuilding the image of Boeing and also rebuilding Boeing period.
Every time Muilenburg talks to Sarkes, he says, 'We didn't do that,' and Sarkes really believes he means it.
Dennis Muilenburg is a strong leader
Sarkes concludes that Boeing has been a victim of of a Hit Job, Hoax, Which Hunt, Coup, and Failed Take Down. Boeing has been COMPLETELY EXONERATED.
"Many People Say", Sarkes, should I buy Boeing Stock. Sarkes says that while past performance is not indicative of future results, and Sarkes is not a Certified Financial Planner, ………the answer is Yes.
Boeing has been COMPLETELY EXONERATED
The Strongman Love Triangle
The Orange Romeo has had a love affair with both his Boy Toys; Vlads Putin and Kim Jung Un
Now, it is reported that Vlads Putin and Kim Jung Un are hooking up
Russian President Vladimir Putin is meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a summit meant to highlight North Koreas pivot toward Moscow amid increasingly strained ties with Washington. While on the surface, this would appear to be a Political move, Sarkes believes that there is much more to this meeting.
Sarkes connects Dots where most cannot see Dots. The Dots that Sarkes is connecting here is that there is a Love Triangle. A Love Triangle between the Orange Sniffer and his two Boy Toys, Vlads Putin and Kim Jung Un.
There is something strange going on with this high powered Love Triangle
First, the Golden Sombrero has been linked with Russian Strong Man Vlads Putin. The Orange Oligarch has embraced and defended Russia and their Premier like no other US President.
On Putin, the Orange Commandant has said:
"But our relationship has never been worse than it is now. However, that changed as of about four hours ago. I really believe that."
"My people came to me, they said they think it's Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it's not Russia. I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be."
"So I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."
"Look at Putin — what he's doing with Russia — I mean, you know, what's going on over there. I mean this guy has done — whether you like him or don't like him — he's doing a great job in rebuilding the image of Russia and also rebuilding Russia period,"
"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that,' and I really believe… he means it."
Vlads and the Orange Babuska enjoying a day in the Russian Country
In the name of Detente, Trump and Putin decided to issue and joint Christmas Card
Trump & Putin, has their relationship gone South?
With the relationship between the Golden Gulag and his Boy Toy Vlads strained, a new relationship has been developing between the Orange Zest and North Korean Strong Man Kim Jun Un.
On Jung Un, the Golden Fortune Cookie has said:
"Great personality and very smart. Good combination. He's a worthy negotiator. We had a terrific day, and we learned a lot about each other and about our countries."
"We have exchanged letters and we fell in love"
"I like him. I get along with him great, we have a fantastic chemistry."
"Kim is a great leader and his country has tremendous economic potential, unbelievable, unlimited"
Surely Nuclear Lovers would never push the button…..would they?
Trump and his boy toy Jung Un enjoying a public appearance
Trump and Jung Un have also issued a joint Christmas Card
It should come to no surprise that the Orange Cantaloupe is a temperamental lover and that his relationships with both Vlads and Kim have been like a roller coaster ride. From this has developed a new relationship between Vlads Putin and Kim Jung Un. Again, on the surface, this may seem like a political move to leverage the Russian and North Korean positions with the US. But once more, Sarkes has connected the Dots where most can not see the Dots. Sarkes believes that Vlads and Kim are hooking up.
Vlads and Kim Creating Nuclear Heat
Vlads and Kim enjoying a quiet afternoon in the Russian countryside
So there you have it. Love Triangles rarely turn out well. A Love Triangle with the World's Strongmen with Nuclear arsenals are a formula for disaster.

Welcome Back George Zimmerman!
After several years of flying under the radar, Sarkes Corner Hall of Famer George Zimmerman is back in the news! Hurray!
Sarkes has many skills and accolades. Sarkes is renowned Statistician, could pass the Bar in any state after watching Judge Judy for 22 years, past Presidential Candidate, and future Pulitzer and Nobel Prize Winner. But Sarkes recognizes that his fame as a Journalist is owed to George Zimmerman.
Recent Subscribers to Sarkes Corner might not know that Sarkes Corner was a struggling Blog until George Zimmerman came on the screen. Sarkeses reporting on George Zimmerman cemented Sarkeses Journalistic Acumen.
Well, George Zimmerman, the only celebrity in the Sarkes Corner Hall of Fame, is back in the news. Many early subscribers to Sarkes Corner, including Sarkes Corner contributors sister Cindy Mamelian and friend Steve Peat Moss broke the story of George Zimmermans return to the headlines.
Sarkes Corner Hall of Famer George Zimmerman
You know George Zimmerman:
– Killer of of Skittle Eating, Ice Team Drinking, African Americans Teens
– Killer of Hoodie Sales in Florida
– 2nd Amendment Zombie
– NRA Poster Child
– Famed Artist and Copyright thief
– Serial women abuser
-Republican and staunch supporter of Donald Trump
Black Teen Trayvon Martin was killed for eating Skittles and drinking ice tea in a White neighborhood
After a failed marriage and several relationships with women that ended with our man George Zimmerman beating the women, George has resorted to Dating Apps to find his next girlfriend.
Dating App Tinder recently removed Zimmerman from its platform. In true Zimmerman mode, our man went by an alias "Carter" and claimed to be looking for "carefree, fun!"
According to his fictitious bio, "Carter" (George) is a self-employed consultant who attended Liberty University (ironically, a Christian Evangelical University). The profile stated that Carter enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, camping, hiking, quiet nights and takeout from Longhorn Steakhouse. The App shows George shirtless and wearing sunglasses. Another shows George with a dog, and yet another shows him in a cap and gown. George (Carter) failed to say that he; Packs Heat, Abuses Women, hates Black People, and is a Serial Liar.
Carter has a different profile from George
Alas, our Man George was removed from Tinder citing impersonation as a violation of its policies. Impersonation is one of George Zimmerman's Core Competencies. Recall that George tried to make money by stealing Black & White Photos, painting them, then tried to sell these fraudulent works on line as George Zimmerman original art. George was just another staunch Republican executing a White Collar Crime.
George's stole copywrited pictures and transformed them in to George Art
More fraudulent George Art
One must give George credit in his continued conquest of the Skirt. Another Dating App, Bumble, previously banned George from their platform in December. A spokesperson for Bumble stated: "George Zimmerman was blocked and banned in December 2018 when we first discovered his profile and we have blocked and banned him again after we were informed by our users that he had created a new unverified profile." In his endless pursuit of the Skirt, George does not give up.
In July 2013, a jury found Zimmerman not guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin. Martin's death and the subsequent verdict caused national outcry. A fledgling Blog, Sarkes Corner, provided America, Fair and Balanced reporting on the Zimmerman trial, in addition to in-depth analysis and commentary.
A jury of his Cracker Peers found George Not Guilty of Murdering Trayvon Martin
Since his trial, our man George has NOT kept a low profile:
He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and domestic violence for threatening the father of his then wife with a hand gun.
In order to make ends meet, George attempted to auction off the gun that he used to Kill Black Teen Trayvon Martin.
He was accused of stalking a private investigator who had been hired by a film company working on a documentary of George's life. George threatened to feed the PI to an alligator!
On two separate occasions with 2 separate girl friends, George was arrested for domestic violence.
Since being acquitted for killing Trayvon Martin, George has been arrested several times
George Zimmerman is a solid part of the Orange Emperors Base; George is an Uneducated, Underemployed, Heat Packing White Guy. On his way to becoming the greatest Conservative President we ever had, the Orange Creamsicle was a regular guest on the Fox News Fair & Balanced show, Fox and Friends. On Fox and Friends, the Orange Jumpsuit said about George Zimmerman:
"I Don't Disagree With Verdict But George Zimmerman is Not Going To Heaven Very Quickly"
"This George Zimmerman is really a mess – he really has to just disappear! He attacked his wife last night."
"Who was at fault, Zimmerman or Martin, You could have solved it very quickly with a camera in the right spot,"
As it turns out, the Orange Traffic Cone did not need George Zimmerman's vote in 2016. Had it not been for the 5 million votes cast by Illegal Mexicans, the Orange Cheeto would have won both the Electoral College and Popular votes.
Taking pictures with his Base at a Rally in Florida, Trump did not realize he had posed with Zimmerman
Welcome Back George, you have been gone too long. All of the fame and accolades bestowed on Sarkes Corner would not have been possible with out you.

"Another world, another time, in the age of wonder. Another world, another time; this land was green and good until the crystal cracked…"
The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson
Once upon a time we were all kids. As kids we all had vivid imaginations and most of us liked to pretend a lot. From the very earliest days of playing "Cops and Robbers", "Cowboys and Indians", "House", "Tea Party", "Dress Up", "Barbies", "Star Wars", etc. we were role playing and didn't know it. As we get older we grow out of those dress up games or maybe not (LARPers are a special breed after all), but we are all familiar with the concept of playing at pretend.
Role playing in WoDG is essentially acting. If you have ever taken a drama class in school, you should be familiar with acting out a character. If you've not had the fortune of acting, then another good place to draw from are those early days as a kid where you threw yourself into those pretend games. Creative writers also should be familiar with character studies and assuming roles as they weave their plots and consider their characters' and their motivations.
If you've never had those creative experiences in your life, well then you've missed out a lot and will have a difficult time in World of Darkness: Gotham. In this game, we demand that players act their parts as they've written them which is distinctly different from what most players experience in pen and paper games around a table top.

Distinction from Table Top
Table top can be great fun. There's nothing like getting together with a group of friends around a table with some pizza and beer, some cool mood music while setting off into a world of make believe and full of adventure. However, in most table top games, assuming a role comes secondary to everything else. There's a tendency to remain out of character and move your character this way and that as if he were a miniature on the table or a vehicle that you get in and drive around. Sessions consist of players telling the ST and the players around them what they are doing with their character and then the ST spits back the results:
Player: "My guy is going to go to the door and test the lock."
ST: "The door is unlocked."
Player: "Ok. He goes in and looks around. What does he see?"
ST: "He's in a small storage room and he sees two thugs guarding another door on the far side and they looked like they're strapped. They see your character. What does he do?"
In the above example, acting and pretending are barely present. The player is remaining outside looking down at his character moving around. If you're a table top player you need to ditch this mindset while playing in World of Darkness: Gotham.
Player: *Gene glances around the darkened hall as he tries to evade his pursuers…beads of sweat dot his forehead as he nervously tests the lock.*
ST: *The doorknob turns and Gene feels a click in his grasp as the latch gives way.*
Player: *Gene slips in quickly, closing the door behind him and pressing his back against it. His eyes survey the room quickly as he looks for an escape route.*
ST: *Gene is in a small storage room with industrial hanging lamps above casting a dim warm glow over a maze of shelving and pallets. Down the aisle directly across from Gene are two thugs casually strapped with sub machine guns guarding a door. The thug on the right looks over at Gene and levels his gun…speaking out of the side of his mouth to his partner who is prompted to do the same.*
In this online format, players are asked to assume the roles of their characters. They are supposed to be thinking as their characters or at least trying to do so. As in the above example, the player acts as though he is his character. This is no different from drama class or pretend games from childhood. You create a role and act it out. Instead of having a script to go by, the actors engage in what is known as improvisation in drama. That's what we're doing. Improv.
For long time gamers, this may seem like a no-brainer, but really it's not. We see self-proclaimed long time RPers mix up this distinction constantly. Usually they do so in subtle ways.
This article is for everyone seeking to get involved in WoDG and for people already active members of our community. It doesn't matter if you're an expert or a novice, we want you to read this article and understand it so that all community members are on the same page with staff and all our expectations are met.
Below you'll find some tips in the form of dos and don'ts of RP.
Dos of RP
Research your role. Writers and actors alike do a fair amount of research to prepare for a role or over the course of creating the character studies for a piece of writing. There's no excuse not to research your role and you should be able to pull it off with a little imagination. There's tons of media out there to draw inspiration from. Books, television shows, movies, music, etc. can be great sources of inspiration and get you in the right frame of mind to connect with your character.
Write what you know. Well how the fuck are you supposed to do that when you obviously have no idea what it's like to be a supernatural creature? Exactly. Pretending to be a supernatural creature is enough of a challenge adding on top of it other things that are unfamiliar to you might be too much for some people.
Recognize your limits and be pragmatic about them. If after your research you still have trouble getting it, then the concept isn't right for you. We're not saying that you have to play yourself or stick to your own narrow life experiences. Far from it. We don't want you to play yourselves. That's no fun and not the point of playing a pretend game. However, there are some people that have a difficult time connecting with certain character types no matter how much research they do. If you try to pull off something you just can't connect with, then no matter what you're going to wind up frustrated and frustrating people around you as most of your social rolls are going to have to be backed up by RP. For example, if your English isn't so great, don't try to play a grammarian. It's not going to work. If you're some guy in the pristine fjords of Norway IRL, don't try to play a person of color from the hood if you can't get down with the slang you'll need to pull it off. No matter your streetwise rating, if you're RPing your character in an implausible fashion, your difficulties are going to skyrocket and your RP will come off as unnatural.
Do exercises to connect to your character. Get into your character's head and imagine yourself as him away from the game. Do mental exercises by self-talking as your character. Put items in your pockets you'd think he'd carry (Not illegal ones of course).
Study your character sheet often and play what's written. Your character's sheet isn't something you create only to forget. We don't make you go through that grueling exercise which is the sanctioning process just for you to forget your character once it's all over like passing a college entrance exam! Your dots aren't just a collection of pretty patterns on a piece of paper or in this case a bunch of numbers in digital format. Merits aren't convenient bonuses you get to play while you forget all about the Flaws that gave you those nifty freebies you wanted so badly. They actually translate to the STs and to you what your character is. You should study and contemplate your dots. How do they fit together? Just how do you act Arete 4 anyhow? If you're Willpower is normally 6 and your Temporary Willpower is 2 how should that affect your character's behavior? These are the types of things you should be asking yourself constantly.
Understand your character's motivation. All characters are driven by a number of factors. You need to know what makes your character do the things that he does and why. This is an invaluable guide that helps you answer when you ask yourself, "What is my character doing here?" It serves as a starting point to get into character and drives the direction of your RP. Without it, you're a ship without a rudder.
Keep your character sheet current. Characters grow, change, and evolve. As you're studying your sheet, and as your character progresses in the game world, things will change. What you wrote when you first started with the character will no longer be valid. STs won't know that automatically. We're not mind readers. We'll go by your sheet and hold you to it. So if something has happened to your character to have changed it, you need to put in a sheet change ticket and talk it over with your ST to see if the change is warranted or not. Sometimes players get tired of playing something about their character like taking a flaw that they don't want anymore and decide to ignore. That's not a valid reason for changing the character. If that was a standard, we'd have most players deciding they didn't like something and just changing things that they found too inconvenient to play any longer. Sometimes these are meta-motives and sometimes they are just mood changes of the player. We won't decide which is which. We'll apply a rule evenly to everyone.
Research the setting. Part of getting into your character requires that you also get into the world he inhabits. There's so much source material for New York City out there that there's no excuse to not become familiar with it. It's one of the reasons we chose this location. It's easy for everyone to get access to information about the city and there's tons of media out there featuring the city. We've supplied a fair bit of material on it in the wiki, but there are also so many films and television set there that there's no reason not to get a feel for it. Google Street View has just about every inch of it covered. What's not covered in Street View, is in photographs.
Take your time. The chat is not going away. It's going to be here for years to come. You can keep coming back night after night. Don't approach RP like you're in a race. Learn to savour your RP like you would a good meal or glass of wine. When you relax and let things flow, your acting will be more believable. When you rush things, your RP will seem forced, wooden, ridiculous or implausible. When you rush, you miss great opportunities for character development and growth, but you also make critical errors which will make your character lose credibility. You also run out of things to do real fast.
Be an opportunist and be ready to adapt. A good actor knows how to improvise and draw from the material he's surrounded with. Pay attention to the current conditions in a scene. This includes weather, time of day, day of the week, and above all the other characters in the setting. This includes both NPCs and PCs. Like any acting troupe, your fellow actors (players) are a huge source of material to draw from. As improvisational actors, you should all learn to share the spotlight and work with each other to drive scenes and create content for yourselves. You should also be prepared to allow other characters and events to impact your own character's development.
Make sure that you're in the right frame of mind to play your character. Let's face it, many of us RP to get away from the drudgery of day to day life and exercise our imaginations to engage a fantasy world as a persona that is not ourselves. To get assume that role and act it out properly, you should avoid distractions where possible and focus. Also, be aware of stresses in your life and other OOC garbage that might intrude in the game. A lot of players use the fantasy world as a means of stress relief and that's fine, but be careful not to let those stresses and other OOC crap going on IRL impact how you play your character. If you're not able to filter out the IRL noise, log out. We're not going anywhere. You can come back another day and find RP. We promise.
Use your mind's eye. We all have one. All those exercises I refer to in this article are designed to help you develop your mind's eye and your character.
BE your character. Shut out all your distractions and start thinking as your character. Talk as your character. Act as your character. Take pleasure in pretending you're someone else for a little while and nothing else.
Don'ts of RP
Don't approach your character with an OOC agenda. Your motivation is quite different from your character's. The moment you let your OOC feelings into the character, your character becomes unplayable. You make your character ridiculous and he loses all credibility as a persona. There's now nothing authentic about him and you may as well throw all your hard work away and start over. Why? Because no other character be it NPC or PC will be able to take him seriously anymore. We've had player characters stretch their necks out for other player characters simply because OOC the player didn't want to hurt the feelings of another player by contributing to the death of their player character. In one situation a character risked alienating his entire clan and coming under the direct attention of his elder when his own writing described the character as an opportunistic snake in the grass. These types of situations come up a lot. Most not so extreme. A lot of players are subtle when engaging in this type of meta-gaming. Some people are out to win some OOC popularity contest of their own making. We've seen this in other games a lot. It's not something you should be engaging in here. In WoDG, the character must be approached ICly.
Don't risk your character's credibility. You shouldn't risk your character's credibility by engaging in scenes that don't work for them. If you're playing a vagrant and a scene is going on in some high society ballroom, it's likely that your character wouldn't be there (This probably doesn't apply to Nosferatu crashing Toreador parties and ruining them. That's fun.). Acting in a way that isn't really IC just to make things interesting isn't going to do anything but make your character a buffoon or worse. For example, jumping on the nearest mortal character and feeding on them in the middle of a crowded street is probably going to get your character killed. Turning into a wolf and rolling on your belly to be pet at the feet of a girl on a park bench is probably a good way to write your character into the annals of the truly moronic for good and you only have yourself to blame for it.
Don't squash the conflict out of a character. Some people are bad at conflict IRL, some people are deathly afraid that if their character doesn't go along with things other players will hate him OOC. No character is without its flaws. Inner demons and personal obstacles provide some great character motivation and goals. Some characters just aren't good with other characters for whatever reason. A character who is perfect and a complete white hat is as dull as dishwater and will quickly put everyone around them to sleep.
Don't force a square peg into a round hole. We have character sheets for a reason; so that we can know just how good someone is at something like how smart they are, or how quick their reflexes are. It is easy to forget when in the thick of RP that your characters also have to adhere to their dots. Don't try and play something that your character doesn't have. Just because a scene calls for someone to know how to fix a car doesn't mean your character has the skills for it. The dice play right into this with the rolls and a good roll or a bad roll can really turn a scene on its ear and make for some very interesting role play if you just let it happen.
Don't be impatient. This is especially the case for some of those sneaky spies out there. If you're playing a character that relies on scrying or sneaking, you've chosen to play a character type that is quite challenging and takes a lot of discipline. You'll have to resist getting into a lot of scenes, but then at the same time you need to set yourself up so that your character can engage others directly so as not to be totally a downtime driven character. This type of character is not for novice actors or players.
Don't write yourself into a corner. Conversely, there's a balance to be had here with what's stated above. You can't become so inflexible and narrow focused that you write your character into irrelevance. That's not helpful to you or to the rest of the players in the game as a source of material is otherwise killed. You should find and work out some plausible motivations that will allow your character to fit into most scenes.
Don't approach character development from an OOC point of view. There's a tendency for players to look at their downtime and requirements for character development like table top players and we see it bleed over into the chat and that's completely unacceptable. Like terrible actors, it translates into wooden performances. The staff can literally see where you're taking a check box approach to things, "Got that scene in so that I can take more subterfuge. Check. Got that scene in so that I can seek within sixty days. Check. Got that crossover scene in so that I can get a downtime ticket in. Check." All your IC conversations look forced and unnatural and it's clear that you're not putting yourself into the shoes of your character. Don't do it. It won't get you your goodies any faster because it tends to annoy staff.
Giving our Antagonists a Little Love
In addition to these RP tips, we've created an article especially for our villains to help them survive the challenge of their very challenging vocation. Please see: Antagonists and PvP
Help! I've Been a Moron! Now What?
Everyone has been a moron at one time or another and messed up playing their character. Some have messed up more than others. In this game you're expected to soldier on. We have policies in place that state that your character is ultimately your responsibility and that you're required to be a good sport. If everyone ditched their character or got things retconned because they didn't like how a story played out or how a scene went, nothing would happen and we don't do that in WoDG.
We STs aren't going to want to spend time having to delete scenes and try to patch things together just because someone was being an asshole with their character. We've got other things we want to spend our time on.
We're not going to want to spend time working through yet another character sheet because a player failed to watch over their character and research it properly before delving IC and making a mess of things by acting like a table top player or ignoring the advise of STs.
We have an entire game world to bring to life and to keep straight. We do our homework and make sure that we're in the proper headspace to assume a wide variety of roles. STs in WoDG give 110%. We feel that given our time investment in bringing a quality game to our community, players of that community can at least give back 100% when playing one character.
Don't ever ask for do-overs and don't ever ask to ditch a character.
Role Play vs. Roll Play
We've heard over and over again the pretentious saying, "I role play and don't roll play."
I seriously would like to kick every idiot in the crotch who types this or says this to someone else. Whomever coined the saying, is a complete and total jackass. We've found that these pretentious snowflakes that spout this like they are God's gift to RP are usually the whiniest jerks, biggest hams, and most terrible actors on the face of the planet. They are usually the ones that freak out if anything they didn't script happens to their characters. Anyone that doesn't get that rolls of the dice are important plot devices for interjecting impartial randomness into scenes needs to go somewhere else. Playing complications are as much a valid RP content generator as playing out flawless planning. In fact, it's probably more rewarding and valid.
When you're in a scene with someone, don't be afraid to ask for a roll. If your character is asking himself what another character might be thinking, then you should probably make an empathy check and have the other player elaborate. If you think someone is giving your character a line of bullshit, make a credibility check! Find out if your character actually picks up on it! Just because you can see what's going on doesn't mean your character will. It can be loads more fun too as you let scenes develop. In short, there is a time to throw the dice and a time to just RP. It's not going to offend other players if you ask for a roll or want to make a roll on anther character.

Master plan for a competitive power market
Onshore and offshore wind and solar power plants are expected to increase by approximately 50,000MW by 2030 under the power development master plan 8. — VNA/VNS Photo Ngọc Hà
HÀ NỘI — A power development plan for 2021-30 with a vision to 2045 would not only meet electricity demand but also more importantly create a strong association between Việt Nam and other countries in the region towards a competitive power market.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Hoàng Quốc Vượng made the statement at a conference held in Hà Nội on Monday.
Vượng said the power development master plan 8 had basically been completed and would be submitted to Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc for approval next month.
The country's total power output is expected to increase by nearly 80,000MW by 2030. Large power sources such as coal, gas and LNG thermal power plants are expected to increase by over 30,000MW, while onshore and offshore wind and solar power plants will expand by approximately 50,000MW.
"Most of these sources are located far from central power centres. Therefore, the development of transmission grids to carry the capacity of these power sources raises many issues that need to be considered. Research for the plan found that transmission patterns were likely to change, and instead of transmitting electricity from the North to the South as in the past, the direction would gradually change in the opposite direction," he said.
He added that the harmonious development of the transmission grid and the stable operation of the system needed to be carefully studied and considered.
The Government has issued a policy regarding power imports from regional countries, and memorandums of understanding have been signed between Việt Nam and neighbouring countries to increase imports of electricity by 2030. However, the process of importing electricity has not achieved the expected results, affecting connections.
"The issue has been carefully studied by the MoIT to implement solutions to realise the Government's grid connection policies in the power development master plan 8," Vượng said.
Nguyễn Mạnh Cường, deputy head of Electrical System Development under the Institute of Energy, said the power development master plan 7 had been implemented for nearly 10 years. The implementation of the master plan had achieved many good results, basically meeting the load demand with an average annual growth rate of 10.5 per cent. The electricity network operated stably, safely and reliably, meeting the needs of socio-economic development and ensuring national security and defence. The source structure was quite diversified, with active participation of private investors. The electricity access index had made great progress, and from 2013-18 it improved by 129 steps, reaching 27th position out of 190 economies in 2019 and currently ranking 4th in ASEAN. A wholesale electricity market was also in the process of development.
"However, the power sector has faced many major challenges such as growing demand and an uneven development of power sources in different regions. In addition, the implementation of many large power projects, especially coal-fired thermal power projects, is still behind schedule. There has been rapid development of renewable energy sources but the power grid has not kept up, leading to the fact that power in some places is not fully used. The electricity price mechanism has also failed to meet the requirements or attract investment. Environmental protection still poses many challenges," he said.
In this context, power master plan 8 is expected to provide comprehensive solutions to address current bottlenecks in electricity development.
The research showed that the load growth rate in 2021-30 is forecast to remain high, about 8.6 per cent from 2021-25 and 7.2 per cent from 2026-30. Power source development has been thoroughly researched, considered and analysed. The scenario of optimal power source development is the one that meets the objectives set out in Resolution No 55 towards becoming environmentally friendly and maximising the benefits of renewable energy sources.
The capacity of the whole system is expected to reach about 138,000MW by 2030 and 302,000MW by 2045, of which priority is given to the development of renewable energy sources in accordance with the potential of each region to ensure safety. Coal-fired thermal power will be reduced gradually, with an increase in gas thermal electricity to compensate.
However, the challenges that await power master plan 8 are also great. Electricity demand is still growing at a high rate but primary energy sources are becoming increasingly scarce. To ensure electricity supply by 2030, Việt Nam is expected to import about 1.2 million tonnes of LNG and 35.1 million tonnes of coal per year by 2025, gradually increasing to 8.5 million tonnes of LNG and 45 million tonnes of coal by 2030.
These are big challenges to ensuring electricity supply security. The annual investment needed for the power and grid development programme will amount to about US$13 billion for 2021-30, while the increasing environmental requirements of international organisations in considering credit for power and grid development also pose many challenges to the successful implementation of the plan.
"To solve this problem, many mechanisms and policies have been proposed, including a bidding mechanism to select investors for power projects, and the socialisation of transmission grids to encourage all economic components to get involved in the investment and development of the electricity industry," he added. — VNS
