Yeah, yeah, I'll get there.  And thanks, it's good to be back.


By the by, I dunno if I'll be around tonight.  I'll try, but I have some errands around town that need to be taken care of.

Charlie.  Baby.

Gonna do never-before-seen things with your ship and hope you can keep 'er running!

Love ya!

Speaking of the other reason I had to come back.


Bret, by the by...no more MSN?

Yeah, I had to change my email though.

I added you, but it hasn't shown you online.

I am offtackle46@hotmail.com

Give it a shot and see you can add me from your end.

No worries - Charlie - have fun with your errands - I'm gone most of the day from 4pm on anyway.

ahhhh, so much fun, I'm usually around, though I pop in infrequently, but if we ever get a solid date down to do this, just let me know!

...and thus it begins.

Okay.. starting off (and this is going to a LOT of my games so it's going to be in a lot of spots)

First off, I have been put on at least 5 shift changes in 8 weeks. This has wracked all sorts of havoc with my sleep rythyms and time at home.

Two, the whole RPOL site is no longer accessable from my work (strangely it's the ONLY site I game on that has this problem)

Third and most importantly, I have fianlly found out why my career has spiraled in the last 2 years. Sometime before then something in my head went 'boip' and the next result of that is that I've been diagnosed as mildly Bipolar. I've been put on meds and councelling for it, and this week I've been put up for Limited Duty status.

The fallout from that has been that I will most likely be transfered out of my current command (one of the best I've seen) and will be doing 'low stress' work for the next 6 months while I continue my medications (apparently it can take MONTHS for the full effect to hit).

So sorry about the lack of posting or breivity of postings, but hopefully things will be getting better after I get assigned to wherever I am put.

I am not ignoring the game, I have come down with the creeping crude and it is kicking my tail.

I will start posting again as soon as I am up to it.

And I'm not ignoring the game either but have been crazy busy lately, hopefully things will begin settling down relatively soon though.

I third that motion.

See prior post

The break is fine with me - been busy here too.

So as you can tell I'm trying to get things moving again here, after tomorrow I'll have much more time to post so ya, looking forward to pushing on with this episode.

And I know I've said this quite a few times but once again, I might have a new Geoff coming on board so keep your fingers crossed that that works out.  My goal is to have all the characters be PC and not having to NPC half a crew.

Does that mean I might get rescued soon? Cause, you know, that'd be swell. <grins>

Haha, ya that's what I'm working towards, it'd be nice to have Rhaef back.  Not to mention all the fun that will go into getting him back. :)

Yep - that's Rhaef - he turns the music on, he brings the fun in.

God help those of you - who get that reference. <grins>

So question, do any of you guys save your MSN convo's?  And if so, do you happen to have the conversations I've had with you saved?  Because, like said I want to get things going again here but my old lap top broke and I'm on a new one now and I realized that I don't have all the old conversations I've had with you guys about characters and things that are supposed to happen in this episode and its been awhile so I can't remember everything and feel like i'm forgetting some stuff - so ya.  If you have any of that information saved or remember any important details of things that I've talked about with you PM me or let me know if you catch me online (I should be on a bit more now cause its break for me)

Talk to ya'll later!

Alright, so we do indeed have a new Geoff guys.  I've been working on getting him caught up with the story thus far so he should be ready to dive in, but of course it's a lot to take in so bear with him during the adjustment period.

So ya, welcome to the game!

welcome new Geoff!

Geoff, fellow newbie!  Glad to have you!

Welcome aboard.

Thank you all, glad to join.

Okay Kale is about to listen to a message about Rhaef - if anyone feels that they want to be on the bridge to hear it they should head up their now.  I'll wait to post the message for a little while to see if there are any takers.

For the record - I am not dead. Ren is, but I'm not.
