[ooc: It's true, it's true. I know I'm being a pussy about it, but there's only so much enthusiasm I can muster when I've already had ONLY unpleasant (meta, of course; the ooc stuff has been great) IC threads so far. That's my fault, I guess... Max is a little unpleasant, for sure. I'm just not into him catching shit from all angles, all the time. And going into an election scenario has the potential to be really fucking depressing. For Max, and for me.]
