So, i admit, i guess i kinda just wordlessly disappeared. I never meant to, but i kept saying to myself "Yeah, i don't need to say i'm gone, i'll log on again this weekend." But err... as you can see that never happened. So i figured i should stop in and say hello, and let you know what i'm doing, and say that because of certain malfunctions i might be a bit longer gone.

First of all, thank you for all the happy birthday well-wishing. It wasn't though, for the Record. Much of a happy birthday that is. I nearly got hit by a car, i baked cookies and dropped them in dirt, and i couldn't sleep in because apparently a robot called my brother an asshole. I'm not shaken up about it, i don't make a big deal out of birthdays anyway. 

But that's beside the point. Don't worry about that.

So anyway, lately i've transitioned somewhat away from my usual screen-zombie self and been getting a bit more intake from the place outside the front door. I'm currently involved with a project called Green Corps. I might have mentioned this before i left, i joked about taking class levels in ranger. Its not Actually rangering, but the people i do it with are a great bunch and its been fun times. Its fulfilling, but tiring, which is most of the reason i started logging in less.

Since it doesn't pay well, i've been stopping by the local pub like a woodpecker to try and get a spot behind the bar later in the afternoons. I've had a few stints of a couple of days but so far i haven't been picked for more substantial employment. It seems promising though.

In addition to that, i'm also in a theatre group that does plays about not binge drinking. Hows that, a Bartender and an anti-binge-drinking spokesman? I'm such an Oxymoron. But yeah, that's taking up another chunk of my days too, and we have performances in schools over the next two months, so its a little intense now. Fun intense though, i live for the stage. I don't even get a whisper of stage fright anymore.

And as for the Malfunctions, well, they might take a while to get around. What little money i get from Green Corps. goes towards maintaining some repayments i'd rather not talk about, so i'm living pretty humble. Unfortunately, (And i'm sorry Kattze!) the hard drive on my laptop failed. I got it a new one, but its been installed with Windows 7 and its got some compatibility error with the drivers that i can't work out. It doesn't do sound, and the graphics don't go right. I get a frame rate drop playing "Plants vs Zombies" even. As for me desktop, well... that's no better. Its nightmarishly slow, and i can't stand waiting for it to even start up. Its old, and certainly on its way out. So piece by piece i'm filling the piggybank to build something really shiney.

Anyway, that's my story lately. I'm sorry i didn't forewarn anyone. How are things for you guys?

Been a while since we did one of these, huh? But i figured a Hosting changeover is a good enough reason to break that silence

I'll be running a "Quiz-show" game with fun rewards, as well as anything else someone may think of. Vampire may happen, of anyone who remembers the rules attends. You are welcome to suggest your own games, of course

The times should be as follows, as worked out by http://www.timeanddate.com. They might not be completely accurate, but are my best grasp of global time >.<

Australia: Sun 10:00 AM   
UK: Sun 1:00 AM *
United States: Sat 5:00 - 8:00 PM
Sweden: Sun 2:00 AM *

I think that's where the bulk of us come from. Do we have any players here from elsewhere in the world?

So, as i've mentioned to most of you already, i should be more or less absent for the next 2 weeks at least. I try to keep it smacked down and tied up under the stairs, but occasionally Life escapes and wreaks havoc . I think i should be back after a fortnight, but it could stretch to the end of May or later.

Most of the loose ends to my quests should be wound up now, but i could still maybe manage time on Sundays if i am needed for something. So yeah, you guys will have to do without me for just a little while. Have fun, i'll see you all again soon.

The streets of Neverwinter are alive with talk of a miracle. Armon Cove stands now as a ghost down of Shacks, falling down with the wind. This is because the people that were there have returned to Neverwinter, cleansed of their curse. An ear on the streets hears stories of purple fire, cauldrons of blood, and two sorceresses. A white haired and black haired one. The Rumors have so many different tellings, of personal experiences and holy underlines, but these are the facts that remain constant.

What i thought wasn't much has snowballed into a more significant state of ill health. Doing DM stuff takes a clearer head than i have right now, so i'm sorry to have to say that i might have to put off any of the stuff i am doing for a few days while i recover enough. I know everyone is probably itching for closure by now, but i'd rather not mess it all up for you. Thanks for your patience.

As the title suggests, something went wrong in however the death system works. It might have just been a one shot glitch, but i thought i'd speak up about it anyway. I died fighting Lions on Lipalli, then i respawned and ran the pigs for gold while the XP penalty wore off. When i came back around to the cats, I found a "Remains" that had my character's first name in the description. It contained a double of the armour i was wearing, but nothing else. I held onto it, unsure what to do with it.

Castle never is holding a celebratory event, including an awards ceremony for adventurers that assisted in the death of the Dragon Frygicrax.

Drums Echo in the mountains and the forests. Outlying homes have been found burned, their inhabitants dead and defiled. The Watchmen of Neverwinter and Port Llast implore everyone to remain within the towns defenses, and One word echoes throughout the Lands.

GRUUMSH!

Anyone who would ingnore these signs and warnings is told to Prepare to meet the iron fist of the orc.

Ok so for the next two weeks i'm going to be taking time out of my classes to bring you as much unexpected chaos and questing as i can. Sort of like Sakes' questapolousa if you remember that, only i'll be taking breaks to sleep and clear my head occasionally .

So to everyone who's going to be there, bring your sharpest sword and your stoutest heart. You'll need them.  :twisted:
