Re: 2020 Finals Week 3 V Storm: Game Day
Just saw the plane fly over. I don’t think I’ll be ready to watch in under four hours, let alone if I had to play the game!
Illogical inconsistencies upset me greatly, so I learnt very on in this pandemic to let all that go. On the bright side: we’ve got an epic prelim in Brisbane that doesn’t involve the broncos.

Not to mention they’ve been in a bubble and followed strict protocols all year as opposed to the general public.

The hours before a game is tough.

Re: 2020 Finals Week 3 V Storm: Game Day
Reckon they've timed that pretty good. About 30 min to disembark and get on the bus. 30 min to Suncorp Stadium. Means they arrive at the venue about an hour before they head onto the field for warm ups. Not a lot of dead time where the mental fatigue can kick in.

So nervous. Very unproductive at work today. Heading up to a club to watch tonight, atmosphere should be electric!

Idk why but whole day it's barely even hit me that we're playing a prelim very shortly. Very weird. Got a disgusting Storm fan of a housemate too so one of us are gonna be dirty tonight but I'm barely thinking about the game right now. I must be a psychopath.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

The Raiders have won the toss, looks like they will run to the southern or Milton end in the first half... if we're interpreting the sign language correctly.

At the ground now. Lots of green already in the crowd. Could even outnumber Storm supporters. Just about every Raiders fan in QLD will be here. Except Nickman. He's soft.

For what it's worth, traffic from the Suuny Coast was absurd....some of the worst I've seen. Would have been two hours in the bus.
