Gee, rereading my post and Arwen's and talking to Arwen for a bit face to
face, I guess I was just a wee teensy bit defensive, now wasn't I?
What I was trying to say:
For me, escapism involves disconnecting from the real world and not 
looking back.  I've done that; I've had people to pull me back.  RPGs
involves a good deal of prep work (roll the dice, trolls has 5 hit points,
ogres have 6, yawn yawn yawn).  RPGs are great fun for people who like them;
I prefer some fun with my fun.  Playing dress-up and make-believe does not
RPGing make.  For me, FuzCourt seemed like an interesting place to play 
without immersing myself with the surreality of another reality.  To be 
truthful, it has seemed on Party a few times like people overdo it, but
if others want to use this for escapism, or whatever, it's up to them.
That's their space; that's not the space I want to get in, and I'm 
actively avoiding that space.  Fuzzy, I just wanted *you* to know that
I, for one, never intended to give off that particular impression.
(That's still probably not exactly what I wanted to say, but it's 
closer.)
I have also had some stuff happen on a personal level which would have
made disappearing into FuzCourt and never looking back extremely 
tempting, which is why I've been quiet lately.  But, hey kids...
I'm back!

I really just wante dto say that I entered this thinking it was just
a game, and didn't think that it was meant to be at all serious.  But,
I must say, that I didn't make up the Goddess Eve, I don't really
worship her, but I know of her.  Just wanted to say that...

Please ignore the previous response.  I'm still learning
my way around.

Lady Arwen,
   I'm definately along for the ride.  But one favor please, 
Dr. D. Kwicks-Oat comes from 1) my self-appointed Dr. and
2) the english pronunciation of Don Quixote.  So please call
me DDQ for short.  (Or by any of the other pseudonyms I go
by-Chaos Master, Doc Wa-Nna-Be, Chem.Skald@Large, ...)

Thanx Much,
DDQ

Normally I don't care what people call me but about a month ago
a sordid series of (almost) illegal events occured that ended
making Dr Kwick (or Dr Kwicky) have more meaning than I care
to have attached to my name.  I'm not pristine, just picky
about the type of dirt attached to my name (or person).

Thanx f'r lis'nen,
DDQ

I really am a witch too.  And in a way, a werewolf.  Arwen knows what I 
mean when I say that everyone, in their own way, is a werewolf.

How this for drift?
But what I think is the fundamental problem with the Cartesian view
is his reliance on the possibility of a deceptive demon.  His analysis
that reality could exists necessarily hinges on the possibility that 
it doesn't, which strikes me as ominously circular.

But back to the original topic..........
Fuz...what do you see as the reality of court?  Are you really
a Ph.D?  At 16?  I need to get a focus from you.  What
are your visions? For Fuzcourt realm?

But in their minds...werewolves they be.  And aren't we behaving
as we ought?

No, I do not convert into a wolf every full moon.  But, on a Jungian level,
we *all* have werewolf sides to us, the animal side to us expressed in
Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde, and in other works as well.  On the inside,
we are all werewolves.
