3. Quite possible. Unfortunately I just had a death in the family today

So I can only participate as an audience member right now.

(but I could use the entertainment. To tell you the truth, as everything I'm involved in is going swimmingly right now, if by "swimmingly" one means swimming in sh--[font color="#802A2A"]chocolate rain[/font].)

I dunno, by political RP'ing I was thinking more in general RP'ing terms, as there are pitfalls to roleplaying real life political parties on a blog devoted to discussing said parties. I'm worried that it might be difficult to roleplay Romney or Obama on DU... But I'm happy if anyone wants to do it, I'm just in no condition to RP a real life public figure.

Not to mention the Onion effect (namely that it's difficult to glean any humor from our present situation because the reality keeps outpacing satire). My interest would be mainly in the sort of economic RP'ing they've tried on nationstates.net or wherever. Don't know if that's possible though.

Me, I'm a New Lunar Republic supporter.
