I'm in Morkin, but I think the Isles and Rulers section there is classified, so I thought I'd start a new thread here, as we're conceptually one alliance. And we'll get to know each other better if we mingle.
I work as a University Lecturer, and am closer to 40 than to 30, married with three daughters. Interests? Sci-Fi/Fantasy, mostly Pratchett, computer programming, etc. Football. Met most of the other Morkins through playing MMU, the on-line version of that famous 80s ZX Spectrum game Lords of Midnight.

How I love Pratchett!! One of my favourite authors along with good ol' Tolkien, Herbert and a not-quite-so-deceased-as-the-previous-two Alastair Reynolds.

Here is how your lametta might look like: But we've yet to decide exactly how its going to be displayed. You will notice the winter Solstice is missing as I dont have a copy yet. As for Corelth, you have a member ribbon there, and need no other due to your High rank status already

Arminius, do you ever get asked for ID when you buy alcohol etc? You look a lot younger that you are, I meant to ask you in Milan but thought you might punch me.

From: similarminds.com/jung_word_pair.htmlNot sure what to make of these tests, but this seems to say that I'm in the right job Also, as it's tied on one scale, this also applies: Doesn't mention anything about me being a negotiator... Maybe we should ask all applicant to take one of those tests? Then we can tell them 'we already have enough people with your characteristics' when we don't like them... ;D
