In the interest of not cluttering up the OOC thread please post any absences and related information here.

Not a full scale absence, but I will be sparse over the week of thanksgiving (in the states) because I will be taking care of two children and a crippled (and generally neglected) mother who is blind and wheelchair bound.

I'll do my best to check at least once a day, but I can't make any promises.

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #2):

I totally understand, the holidays will probably be a bit sparse at times for many. Take the time you need and while I would have no problems with you checking in as often as you can, I know it is important for you to take care of your family needs.

*laugh*
I'll be checking in just to get away from them all.  I spent 2 weeks this summer with them by myself, the few hours in the middle of the night I got when they were sleeping were miracle times for me.

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #4):

Well, regardless, we will all miss you. You definitely bring a certain, je ne sai qua, to any game you are in. :-)

Sorry for the delay, I have been keeping a few things going while fighting a cold. It's been leaving a bit run down for focusing on my games fully. I'm thinking tonight and tomorrow night are going to be a bit busy still, so Friday night seems my best chance to get catching up.

In reply to Kafa da Nir (msg #6):

Feel better soon, been missing you here and in your game. :-)

I will be rather sporadic in my posting next week (week of the 22nd), but hopefully I'll be able to post some at least.

In reply to Aaban (msg #8):

I ran to the coast for a couple days just cuz the opportunity arose. Sorry I fell out without saying anything. I'm back.

I should have no problem posting at least once a day throughout this week. My Tday plans will probly have me posting in the evening at some point, depending on where we're at storywise. May not be necessary if everybody's in a triptophan filled haze. We'll see.

Don't worry about it, it has been a pretty slow weekend, and with the holiday I am guessing it may be a slow week as well.

Just to alert everyone, I am going to be away for the next 24-30 hours but should resume posting after that.

I will be scarce/random for the next while, with a friend passing away suddenly and my computer needing to go to the shop, I don't know when I'll be on.  I'll check back as often as possible.

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #12):

My condolences. Do what you need to.

Sorry for the delay. I've been hit with another nasty cold these last few days. It's been leaving me to lay down for the last couple days. I'll follow up when I'm well enough.

Keeping busy in real life, but I'm still going to get things going in the next couple days.

hey folks, I'm here and ready to post, but I'm also stupidly sick (and possibly slightly delusional from medication and lack of sleep). So... haven't posted today. Will hope to tonight once my head calms down and my eyes stop burning.

The next few weeks will be spotty for me, the weekends will be the worst.  This weekend I might be completely incommunicado seeing that I'll be in RI at a conference. (If you're in RI, I'll wave hello at you!)

I am following Shadow around from game to game making the same announcement:) Out of town from Thursday to Sunday this week.

As well, sorry for the absence these last two days.  I've been working a festival and while I did alright, I didn't do GREAT.  I'll try and catch up now.

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #19):

Shadow's computer is down until Wednesday, though she may be able to get on via some alternate method before then.

Still waiting on and hoping my cord will be here tomorrow.

I'm back!!

Just giving you all a heads up, I'll be working next weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) and will likely just be collapsing on my bed after each day.  I'll do my best to read, but there's a real chance that I'll be too tired to do anything until Monday.

I am heading to http://thecombatcon.com/ tomorrow morning to teach some recreational violence...will not be back till the middle of next week. Please use my character as you see fit.

Damn, bro! You are handling some kick-ass demonstrations over there. What qualifies as a "cool and unusual weapon"?

I'll be gone from Thursday - Sunday (or Monday.)  Another festival.

I was assigned this class when the original guy doing it had to cancel...I am bringing a Carpathian Mountain Axe, A khevsurian thumb ring, an entrenching tool and a shillelagh for my portion. I expect the other guys with be more medieval.

I am glad you saw this post...now I don't have to post on the Midnight Revels game or the Archean Legacies. Got a few more to hit though.

What I think I may do is put the game on a brief hold until the middle of next week. I am already posting for Murron (who I have not heard anything from in a while) and T'Vala (my NPC). Posting for Burikan and Shadow may just tip my brain over the edge when added to running all the baddies as well...

Shadow and I are currently without internet. I'm getting on at work when time allows, and she's occasionally trying to keep up with her phone, but all in all it's slow going.

In reply to Sathras the Bold (msg #29):

I reiterate here, before the masses and the eyes of God...

Balls.

In reply to Dii Ahnah (msg #30):

Since we're in combat, I'm hoping its not going to be a big deal for this game at the moment. Unless we magically slaughter all of them in the next round and people start asking Shadow lots of questions.

You never know, we could start asking Sathras lots of questions while we fight.

Hey, I'm out of town and have my laptop, but I'm gonna be running ragged until tuesday.

I'll try and post, but there aren't going to be any guarantees.

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #33):

You are the last person I am waiting on to post on the breaking of the camp and moving on towards Anasa. Do you want me to just post for you, so that the thread can move ahead? (I know you had talked about conjuring some fruit and such)

Yeah, i'll be making fruit, water and possibly scouting for the large radius using the wind spirits before we head out so I can help advise our movements.

back to afk land

In reply to Shadow Seeking the Light (msg #35):

I'm confused. Does that mean she's going to do it or wants it done for her?

In reply to Dii Ahnah (msg #36):

I *think* it means she wants it done for her...

Hey!

As a head's up, I'll be away from all computers from Oct 6-12. Will be on a ship out in the ocean and all. I might be able to get on to do one-liners, but it'll be costly if I do.

Let's get some stuff done before then!

Me too, but i'll be crazy that weekend too.

Hey, as a heads-up short note, the turkey-day holidays are coming up here in the US. I'll be online til Sunday afternoon as per usual, but after that I'll be off-line for about a week. I'll try to find time/a way to get online during that time to check on posts and hopefully update, but you should all know that posting will be slim after Sunday afternoon.

Same here.

tore the ligaments in my knee

in lots of pain, and meds are worse than the injury

concentration crappy at best, but will try and post.

sorry for any inconvenience

News from the front:

This just in! Breaking news flash. Dii Ahnah's personal portal to the realm has crashed. Reportedly the bound demons keeping the vessel operational willingly sacrificed their own existences in order to further keep Dii from slaying hordes of the walking dead. (Likely she will not post again for us until Thursday.)

In reply to Sathras the Bold (msg #43):

Damn! She sounds screwed...

So yeah, basically no comp. Mine became the world serpent and ate itself. I am still working on it. Bad timing, I know. I'm glad I remembered the password to get on here again. I want everyone involved to know that I miss being a part of this, and the only thing keeping me from it is the aforementioned lacking of a comp. Still working on it. Hope we're not all dead when I return.

Sorry folks.

In reply to Dii Ahnah (msg #44):

That's OK, I am glad to see everything is ok aside from the computer. Do you have a rough idea of how long it may take to get the situation resolved? I don't mind putting the game on hold a bit more so you can be active in exploring the ruins. I think as long as the group knows the game is paused and not dead I am sure people are willing to wait.....I know I am ok with it.

In reply to Bringer of Darkness (msg #45):

Fixed. I'm back. I'll cover what I've missed and make some moves. Sorry for the extended delay.

Welcome back, it's good to see you.

Yes, it is good to have you back. Glad you were able to address those annoying technical issues.

In reply to Bringer of Darkness (msg #48):

The tech issue was "no OS on the comp". Had to wheel n' deal for another Windows (don't ask which. It works). I was almost about to figure out a Blackberry app for RPOL.

Glad to be back. Sorry for the delay.

Tooth pulled today.  I'll do my best to keep up despite that though.

I am on teaching vacation at http://thecombatcon.com/ until Tuesday. Much bruising and battering to be done over the next few days. Will be ready for imagined violence when I get back. Please use Burikan as you see fit to keep things rolling.

Leaving... On a Jet Plane...

But, I do know when I'll be back.  I'm gone until next week Weds.  I'll check in via phone when I can and I'll message the GM with what I'm doing if I can't type it out myself.
