I also had two players request to join and was waiting for them to finish filling out their character sheets and then to post, but both have since dropped out.

How many party members do we have, in total?

In reply to Lowrra (msg # 853):

let me see umm

Augustus Cawliga, Brankx, lil old me Gora, Grayson Leafshade, Sun? and of course the Great amd Mighty Lowrra Empress of the Multiverse and sol rival of Zena and Ming for that matter.

Grayson never actually joined the group and he hasn't checked the board in a month, so he's probably not around any more. Don't know who Sun is.

My apologies, everyone.  I could have sworn thst I had posted before this.  Sorry about that

Been having some computer issues. Screen's gone wonky, making it hard to read lengthy posts and PDFs, but making posts isn't too bad.

Been sick for the past week. Nothing serious, just a seasonal cold where my whole body aches, I take the usual meds, and then all I feel like doing is laying around in bed all day. It's still hanging on which is why I'm posting this.

Sorry for the delay.   I hadn't realized i hadn't posted

I also have a quote I love.

 "when life gives you lemons... make apple juice" from the movie Sky high.

In reply to Gora (msg # 862):

You bring up a good point

Hello all. I look forward to playing with you. =)

Yay!  New friends!!!  Welcome!

I was about to post again but since I'm new, I thought I'd ask, we've posted a lot and Augustus hasn't had a chance to post. Should we give them a chance to catch up before plowing ahead?

No, don't wait for others to post. As long as you post about every other day, it lets the other players know you're still around and interested. That includes the GM.

In my case, I'm been having computer problems. I ran out of memory. My computer, not me personally (though I'm working on it!). Apparently I've fallen victim to something called 'bloatware', which I hadn't even heard the term before. Piles and piles of apps that get dumped on my computer by other apps. Don't know when they got there, how they got there or why they got there, but it's eaten up my 213GB of hard drive memory. Which meant I couldn't open any files or a lot of apps. Contacted Microsoft support to 'resolve' the issue, but other than pointing out that I've got 138GB of 'Other', they couldn't/wouldn't tell me what all the crap was or what I could get rid of that wouldn't screw up my computer.

Finally went through a deleted a few apps that I did recognize, such as Skype, which I haven't used in about 10 years now and can't foresee using again any time soon. Also deleted Twitter which I don't use. Deleted XBox apps; again, never used and never will.

That freed up a whopping 2GB. It's at least enough to let me do things again... until it fills up with more bloatware.

I used to think it was own files that were eating up the memory, but then realized that the thousands of files in total barely filled 2GB. Of course, my music is 27GB....

Anyway, even after deleting 75% of my files (copied it all to an external hard drive left over from my last computer), it barely made a dent.

Yowza. I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't had that happen before but apparently there are bloatware removers out there (though I can't speak to what might work and what won't or anything). I hope you get it taken care of and back to good computer fun again soon. =)

For those who didn't respond to my last post, is it alright to assume Zinashi touched you and gave your the Endure Elements 'blessing'? If not, I'm happy to RP it out and possibly asking again. Just didn't want to slow things up.

In reply to Zinashi Draegal (msg # 869):

Gora will politely refuse your blessing... for religious reasons

Okay. It's not a blessing in the religious sense but okay, just makes me a lot less effective when some or all of the party could be affected by the breath weapon.

Augie's good with it!

Brankx is fine with it

Is Gora still with us?

In reply to Zinashi Draegal (msg # 874):

yes Gora is still with you but she is keeping a distance between the prisoner and Branx for some reason.

Apologies for the delay. Hit a bit of a down cycle.
