Ugh, sorry to hear that your sick Psi.
It's too early in the holiday season to be sick! Not that there's ever a GOOD time to be sick,...
(Not too mention the fact that If I get TOO sick, they might realize that others could probably do my job. And THEN where would I be?!?) ;P
Get better quick! :D
Hey folks, just letting you know I'm sick, but that I'll be posting somewhere in the next 2 hours (I hope).
That sucks. I hope you get well soon.
Rags, there is a good time to get sick; just before a family gathering with cousins who you don't have much in common and who think that your hobby is of the devil (sadly I'm not exaggerating).

Ouch!
Yeah, although I'm selfish enough that I would wish that THEY got sick instead!Wow, and i thought that MY mom was tough! (She still thinks it's wrong after all this time, but she never went THAt far). Good luck with your holidays! ;)

@Santinj-From earlier, just what job are you looking into at OU? Just curious. :D
OSU, or Oregon State University. It's a position in the student health services depatment as a substance abuse prevention coordinator. You know, essentially training RAs and other staff people about signs and symptoms of abuse, coordinating interventions, that kind of thing. It'd be a good step-up for me in the prevention field, but the commute from Eugene to Corvallis would be a drag every day (45 minutes, no biggie for an ex-Californian, but for an Oregonian that's a travesty).

AH, I see.
OSU is also Oklahoma State University, hence the confusion.Good luck all the same! :D
Oh. My. Gosh.
The only thing our RA had to worry about was the guy on our floor who tried to 'cook' a batch of homemade smoke bomb. And it went off. WHILE he was cooking it. IN the dorm room. So he tossed it out into the hallway where it cooked away about half a dozen floor tiles before the fire dept. arrived.
Oh. Wait. That WAS the RA! nevermind! :P
I originally logged in to warn everyone, I'll be checking in tonight as usual, but tomorrow, and possibly Thursday as well, I'll be very busy at work. So you'll have to survive without Slidell's over-verbosive responses for a day or two.
Now, Now, I know your all broken up about this,... :P
See you all soon! (I hope!)
Woo-Hoo! XP! XP! XP!
(A-hem! I meant, Thank you @JSL.)
By the by, I've almost done with updating Sli, I just found the reference that his STARTING spells in his spellbook should include bonus spells for his Intelligence! (Wouldn't really have affected anything as he would have chosen the originals as what he had memorized.) So I'm adding those tomorrow. Too tired now.
Happy travel day @Santinj!
Oh crap, I've just re-read Slidell's post and realised that I completely mis-interpreted the meaning of Slidell's bit about the 'making a few friends' - I thought it was directed to Ehlissa, rather than Corran. Sorry!
Ahhhh well, people misunderstand things in real life; especially when placed in stressful situations with new people, so I suppose we can still work this in as Ehlissa getting the wrong end of the stick... just like her player did. Whoops! *embarrased*

No worries, I liked it!
And the beauty of Slidell is that he is so easy, (and so much fun, ) to misunderstand!I just re-edited my post 3 times due to your follow up, I don't want to dig to deeply into it in the middle of a graveyard, but I liked the little you let "slip" about her background. Once Slidell has processed that bit of info, you MAY find yourself on the receiving end of his 'helpful' intentions!
Which may ,... or may NOT,... be a good thing! :D
It's come out sooner than I expected but I have a fun idea for any conversation they might have about it later!

Great, nothing says "entertainment" like putting a cocky mage in his place!

Happy travel day @Santinj!
Thanks, got back to Eugene last night/early this morning. Going through re-entry at work is the pits.
Anywho, I hope Talion and PsiFox are okay. Didn't one or the other mention being sick? Haven't seen a post in the GT in a while and was wondering if they're okay.
Good to be back on my own laptop/home computer; I'll actually have the time to read posts more carefully before posting myself. No more talking to characters who've left building!

I think Psifox said he was sick. Hopefully he'll be on his feet again soon.
Fabes, now I'm really curious about Ehlissa's past. You're doing some fun stuff with her.
JSL,
We miss Kegi....
Right! Starting to flex Ehlissa's high Charisma - next level? Paladin, baby!
"You're going to behead a paladin?"
OMG, I must be losing my touch.
Or my mind.
I think I just wrote Slidell's SHORTEST post yet.
I'M SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'LL MAKE UP FOR IT I PROMISE!!!
:P
(BTW,... It's been a LOOOOOONG month! SO looking forward to the next 3 weeks!)

I'll be on the road for much of tomorrow. Won't be able to post until the afternoon/evening.
I'm back. Anybody heard from PsiFox recently? Naelah's been quiet, and in re-reading 'her' posts from when we first started, I have to say I miss what they added to the group. There was a certain poetry to PsiFox's writing, ya know?
I'll be in meetings all day...That phrase describes one of my worst nightmares.
Close, 'meeting' used to be my nightmare word, but it since been replaced,...
by INVENTORY! (shudder!)
BTW, Psifox, are ya still there? your last post said you were sick, is everything alright? I think the above posts have made it clear that we miss Neahlah! Hope all is well,...
@JSL- Are you still with us in 'Dark Sharn'? We are seriously missing our pal Kegi over there!
:)
Those crazy wire-sneakers!
Good luck @JSL, All is craziness right now, and that's withOUT any state trying to change stuff on you!
(I like to call it, 'co-operative chaos!', Sometimes that's the best you can hope for!)
All I know is, I am enjoying this game immensely, and I am enjoying the 'company' of all involved. You take care of business, we'll be right here when you get back.
In case the craziness gets out of control,....
Merry Christmas! "And God bless us, everyone!"
:D

JSL: Glad to hear that you've unburied yourself from work. Enjoy the days off! And, enjoy Eugene (if only for one day)! It'll be strange to have one of the virtual family in the same town. Safe travels!
I'll be at work pretty much every weekday for the next couple weeks except Christmas and Christmas Eve. And, though I'll be at work, it's going to be awfully quiet, so post away!
Also, I suppose at some point that I'll put out a shout-out to Psionic Fox on the other forum. I hope he comes back to us. Naelah is missed!
Lastly, shall we add 100xp for this week (Dec. 17th) if we haven't already?
I expect this part to wrap up by January 7th at the latest. Then I hope to launch into an all-out brawl to get everyone's blood pumping and dice shaking again.
Sounds like a plan to me!
BTW, If While your in Eugene you make it by the Tulsa Area, let me know. I'll be visiting family after Christmas. Might be nice to put a face to a name!
Until then here's to enjoying hero-dom!
Merry Christmas Everybody!
I start my new job on January 7th!
And... will not have internet access... :(
Well, I suppose I might do at work but I have no idea if I have a shared computer or not. And, it's the most high-powered job I've ever had so I don't want to screw it up by being discovered PbPing. Then again that's never stopped me before!
I'll check to see if there's a library in town, as I'll be staying at a B and B to begin with and then my gf is staying for 2 weeks from 10th (yes, and I won't have my own house until probably 14th! Yahoo!)
I shall let you all know nearer the time that I will prob not be online for quite a while. :(
If that should be the case, then can I entrust Ehlissa to someone?
(Blimey, that was verging on Rags style for length!) ;)
Thanks, I will be Education Officer for a theatre; it's the sort of thing I have been applying for for a couple of years, so I'm thrilled to have finally got a chance.
Merry Christmas to all of you lot out there.
Glad to here that you're not under as much pressure, JSL.
Congrats on the new job, Fabes! I hope it treats you well and leads you to interesting (and good) places. I'm sure that we can run Ehlissa for a while.
I should be able to post consistently throughout the holidays.
Merry Christmas, Happy Solsice, or Happy whatever you happen to celebrate.
'Gratz Fabes,
Good luck with the new job!
(I'm still settling in to my 'new' job, and I've had it for 6 months now!)
What theater? where at?
Don't worry, I promise not to annoy Ehlissa,... (TOO much!) while your gone!
:D
Lastly, shall we add 100xp for this week (Dec. 17th) if we haven't already?yes. and also for the 24th, when that rolls around.
Cool, My (bad) math has us at 1320 XP total for THIS week, is that right?!?
It's a small theatre in North Yorkshire and the job description runs to two sides of paper haha
Basically I will be in charge of the Youth Theatre, workshops with schools, liaison with community groups, writing educational material for the theatre, providing workshops in conjunction with visiting companies, subbing for the Duty Manager when required, creating strategies to get people from isolated rural communities to the theatre, securing funding for the post beyond its current 2 year lifespan etc etc
It's quite daunting!
But enough of that...
What is our XP total now?
;D

...securing funding for the post beyond its current 2 year lifespan etc etc
That sounds just like my field (substance abuse prevention)! I look for new jobs every three years when the grant money runs out! Sounds like a very cool position. Again, congrats! New jobs are like new girlfriends--great fun until you get to know them. Did I say that out loud? I'm joking!! Congrats!
Also, I've had a question about your screen-name but I keep forgetting to ask. The "Minis" part of FabesMinis, anything to do with making/painting/collecting D&D miniatures? I'm interested in painting metal ones--it reminds me of fly tying, and I think it's the kind of thing I could get into in my "old age."
