hello [chat], calling you from India where everyone is on strike today. The only people working are in my office. The rickshaw drivers, the vets, the restaurant holders, the coffee shops, the idly shops, the government run restaurants...I think only emergency rooms are open today.
There's elections coming up, so there's been rallies all over town for over a week now...I think this has something to do with that.

It's very divided, is it not? By religion, region, caste, and so on.
Hmmmm, what would be a good statement to put into the "Why do I want to play APB?"
BECAUZ I LIKEZ GUNZ!
Very robust customization options, from clothes to cars to the music your car stereo plays. Pretty much everything about the game is a blast except the actual shooty gameplay. That's pretty mediocre. But it can still be a really good time if you're playing with friends. Although I don't think I would ever pay cash money for it.

I suspected as much when I saw it at a conference.

These are actually local elections I believe. Besides different groups of people wanting different things there's also the corruption thing and the general fanaticism political parties tend to throw at you. We're talking gigantic billboards all over town, political rallies on every square, literally dozens of political parties and every party has their own group of fanatic followers who go around town chanting whateverthefuck.
Thankfully Pondicherry is one of the nicer places in India, so there's no violence and the police is pretty relaxed about the big groups of people gathering.

For the election party next week. I also need to track down a sombrero. We're going with an American/Mexican theme. There's going to crap lager, margaritas and red plastic cups.

SCII is a harsh mistress.

All is good. Currently preparing for some exam revision sessions I'm doing on Thursday and Friday.
Not sure if anyone will actually turn up; I may well get paid for sitting in a room for 5 hours.
Take a good book with you, just to be safe. :P
It's better than not getting payed anyway.

When's the election? On the 6th, right?
Oh yes indeed. I am also a big fan of the exchange with his son's school chaplain.
I was fucking sleeping, and I heard this "Vee-aaaaaaayyyych.....VEE-AAAAAAAAAYYYYYYCH".
I had to get up and turn off my speakers so I could go back to sleep.
Also Quid had mentioned earlier that evening that he'd like to play SC2 with me, so I just assumed it was him.
I couldn't spot that one on the front page (though I just finished the one about his kid taking a flash drive to school). Linky?
