Grr, ran out of time... Will try to update tomorrow. >_<
Sorry to hear about the heart attack but I too hope she recovers. Been suddenly absent myself though things seem to have progressed well. Sorry to have been gone!
Sorry for the silence. I'm having internet trouble.
AGAIN. sigh.
Sorry to hear about the continuing internet trouble! This stuff just happens though. Can't blame you for the internet failing. Still I hope we can get moving with the game again! :)
Hope everyone is doing okay? Been quiet from everyone really! I have been a little busy too but I am waiting to continue!
I'm doing OK, thanks. Yes, I'm very much eager for the game to continue, also!
I do regret the delay. My apologies. ^^; When my signal works, I'm pretty busy these days... I expect to be fully back starting the 1st of December.
NO worries.
Hmmmm... It's quiet? Perhaps a little...
Still here; waiting patiently. (This is actually a good time for the game to be quiet, as work is being ugly.)
It's also approaching christmas time, when PBP games slow down.
Also still here.
I'm still checking in every few days. I hope everyone is well!
Yeah, same here. I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving holiday. Or for those of you in countries other than the United States, I hope you had a good weekend! ;)
Still here as well.
Happy to see you all! :)
Grreth... Home network troubles again. =_= I will update asap...
Occasionally here. Not so frequently online these days, but now that holidays have arrived maybe I will be able to do it more often.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year, everyone
Merry Christmas, everyone. Updates must resume shortly.
So while were just waiting... Anyone see any good movies lately?
I find some of the Older movies I've not seen before, or in a long time as very good.
The Naked Gun Series
Space Balls
Dracula: Dead and Loving it
Eight-Legged Freaks
Conan (first two, the ones in the 70's and 80's)
Red Sonja
The Towering Inferno
EarthQuake
The_Poseidon_Adventure (both the 1972 movie, and 2005 two part TV movie)
Leviathan
Deepstar Six
The Abyss
Alien Series (first two, NOT AVP)
Predator Series (Not Predators or AVP).
Terminator series(The First two)
Evil Dead series (Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are freaking great)
The new film "The Imitation Game," with Benedict Cumberbatch, is excellent. A surprisingly moving and gripping film.
TO NOYA
Wow... I have seen and enjoyed almost every movie on your filmography you gave! :)
Well I did not see the TV remake of the Poseidon Adventure but I will see if I can find a way to watch it now!
I would have to agree with your opinions too. Alien and Aliens are the best of the series though I can accept the 3rd movie even if I think it is majorly flawed and undercuts the second in some aspects.
The first two Predator movies were good. (Predator 2 had its issues but I still love it!) Did not care for the AVP movies as I read the comic versions which I liked better. As for Predators well I never got a chance to see it but I have heard mixed opinions about it.
Eight Legged Freaks is just fun... Always nice to know other people like it too!
For older movies I have seen lately.
The Thing (Favorite Horror Film! John Carpenter version not the 50's Original or Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. prequel.)
They Live
Big Trouble in Little China
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstien
The Shawshank Redemption
Arsenic and Old Lace (Cary Grant FTW!)
Bedazzled (Original Dudley Moore and Peter Cook version though the Brendan Frasier version was not terrible!)
Clue
The Frighteners
Harold and Maude
Beastmaster
Beverly Hills Cop 1&2 (Didn't like number 3 much.)
The Neverending Story.
Also have a soft spot for the Final Destination series! I just like the premise of the films villain just being a cruel and malicious entity of death. After the first couple films I just accepted the characters were all going to just die so I just learned to enjoy them. They are not perfect to be sure, but I tend to be a bit more forgiving of some films faults than other people.
TO ZHU
The Imitation Game is on my "to watch list" for sure. I do love me some Benedict Cumberbatch! Sherlock really made me a fan and I have enjoyed every role he has done. His acting made "Star Trek Into Darkness" quite a bit better in my book and in his role in "12 Years a Slave" as Ford he was very good. I am just starting to work into his other older projects! Looking forward to him being Doctor Strange and Shere Khan in the new Jungle Book movie yet to come out.
Have you gotten a chance to see anything new?
Recently I saw the third Hobbit installment. It was good but it had its faults to be sure! Mostly in how they handled it all but it was not bad really. It was however perhaps my least favorite of the three films. Benedict Cumberbatch also was a great choice for Smaug's and Sauron's voices though I have some complaints about the pacing of the Hobbit trilogy I don't on his acting to be sure.
Also saw Interstellar... It was alright I guess.
Enjoyed Pixars Big Hero 6 though I haven't read the comic books yet.
The few comic stories with Big Hero 6 bear little resemblance to the film versions. And that's a good thing. The film versions are much more entertaining!
I will be traveling for the next week. I hope to have internet in the mornings and evenings, but no promises. Please bot me if needed.
Hi all,
just to say I'll be away next week, in case the game picks up.
Whoa ho! I noticed the gameplay thread coming alive again so I will get a post in the morning. Stuff happening right now.
Yes. Yes, there is. ^^ And more stuff will happen, depending on which of the other doors you decide to open... *rubs hands with anticipation*
Glad we're back! I'll post something by Monday evening.
YAY!!! Glad to see the game picking up again! :)
Definitely glad to see this one coming back; I'm still enjoying being the token spiky evil character representative of Cheliax in the otherwise generally good party.
Well, Robert is still part of the Cheliax delegation. Though I don't know if his alignment or outlook matches yours. But you do play evil smart. Considering I have seen too many alignment "ANY EVIL" characters get killed for just being more "Chaotic Stupid" and angering the non evil members you play Pontia more like a person which helps.
That's true, he is. With the churn in the party I'd forgotten. And thank you; I think of Pontia as far too goal-directed to overtly endanger the mission like that, and I'm glad that comes through.
To be honest, and to my "shame", I had forgotten too :)
Heh, I only remember the basics of my character, not so much the politics of his family... :/
Pontia: No! Thank you! :D You have no idea how often that has happened in games I have been in. It is mostly the players not having the experience to properly run or role-play such an evil character and treating evil like an excuse to be jerks. Not that I mind a well role-played evil jerk but they tend to be evil first and logically sensible maybe second if at all! Pontia definitely does not fall into that category. Your a very good role-player from all I have seen!
Robert: Well don't be ashamed. We have a long way to go in this game and I am sure your characters story will become more ingrained the further we get into it! Besides, even after the long hiatus we took, politics are not exactly the focus here other than just lingering as the background intent of the characters in the game so far! Once we return no matter how it goes or get back to civilization I am sure your Chelish contacts and back-story will have far more to do with the game!
At this time I wish to be removed from this campaign. Please mark me as inactive.

I'm sorry to see you go. Hopefully we'll play together again in the future. *bows*
I'll hold emergency recruitment for a new healer.
That is, provided everyone else wants to continue playing?
I do, but would like to pick up the pace some. I will try to respond at least daily during the week.
Likewise, though I know it's not always easy to do when the GM's internet dies :-(.
Ditto to all the above.
Good news: I'm getting applications in for our new party healer. The selection should be done soon.
It's all fine with me.
Sorry to see you go Raina! We just can't seem to hold onto a healer can we? Well here's hoping the next one can stick around!
Sorry to see you go Raina.
We will soon have two new players joining us, vastly improving our healing capacity. ^^ Give 'em a big hand, folks!
Outstanding!
Bydar of Pharasma reporting for duty. Thanks for having me, folks.
