Getting a full time job is more challenging than it is worth. Besides I really hate Canada, the government is inept and pursuing insane policies, healthcare is going to implode, looming economic crisis on the horizon and it is really damn cold.

lol, hard times coming??

It makes me sad I don't recognize anyone on here anymore. The TD was a big part of my early teens years

Never too late to make new friends to recognize

TD is a life supporting shell 0f itself compared to how it was tbf.

[King Athelstan]

Aye, that I do see my dear rabbit. Doesn't mean can't have a bit of fun here, eh?

Which game did you start? I couldn't recognize your avatar either. It can't be Shogun 1!

[Diamat]

The old TD occupied 20% of my time each day.

[Aexodus]

Probly good its gone then lol

[Diamat]

Surprisingly, I still got all my work done. That was during my MA program.

Same.

Yeah not happenin with me. Should be working on a case study paper right now , but I have all day. Starting a paying job in two weeks, so I have completely rearranged my schedule to finish two papers.

[King Athelstan]

I tend to work best under stress, so I spend most of my time procrastinating and then I rush to finish everything a bit too close to the deadline for my comfort zone. I once had a paper I had 4 weeks on writing, with a deadline some Monday at 23:59. I delivered it that Monday. At 23:59. T'was a very close one.

[Commissar Caligula_]

Lol I've done that too many times last semester Athelstan.

[Diamat]

It's a natural human trait to only have motivation when under pressure. If you know this, then you can take advantage of your own human nature. Simply make yourself think that if you don't start working on the paper well in advance, then you will fail and be a nobody. Make yourself feel the pressure in the present. Stress yourself out. At least that works for me. I never work on anything last minute, except conference presentations.

[AqD]

And if you do fail you'd have a very good excuse.

If you start working on day 1 and still fail in the end, there'd be totally hopeless!

I survived my friend

what about you, it's ages since you last posted anywhere on TWC!

I’m doing alright. Just going to work and coming home. By the looks of it I am happier than I was when I left TWC, not that those two things are related :p

I stopped by to grab some info from my PMs, saw your message on my profile, and thought maybe I ought to make an effort to come around here more often. I hadn’t left for any particular reason, it just sort of happened that way. I’m glad to see so many familiar faces; though it seems activity in general has sort of declined? Or perhaps only in the non-gaming fora...

[lolIsuck]

Activity in the TW-part isn't all that great either, I'd say that's actually more worrying because that's the part that should attract new members.

[Derpy Hooves]

I blame Steam Workshop. That integration I think has hurt the site.
Maybe the site will be rejuvenated with China Total War, but I doubt it

[AqD]

Will they have a new or scriptable recruitment system? I always want something like Mount&Blade's - you can't just pay to get elites, they need to be upgraded from veterans who need to survive real combats to gain experiences, and nobles/knights should come from a different and tiny source.

[King Athelstan]

Also, how about we get some holiday cheer going on in here? Adding Christmas hats to profile pictures, for example? There's no snow outside unfortunately, but we can make it feel so in here!
