Not a problem. As long as he doesn't sing the one that goes Tum Tum Tum te Tum Tum.

TheWyrd · 26th October 2009, 05:30 AM

Many thanks for a fun afternoon. I particularly enjoyed dealing massive amounts of damage to a video game icon.

Dovaj Viajiir · 26th October 2009, 05:26 PM

This rocked. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Fraisala · 26th October 2009, 07:53 PM

Thank you all for educating and putting up with me.

it's a good thing Cedric never claimed to be the leader of the party, as he did a pretty poor job of that and lost most of his usual cool in the face of such an emotionally charged situation.

I thought that was the great thing about how you played him! And of course Cedric was the leader - you notice he got there first! The rest of us just did our best to keep up.

Best,

Jim, frmly "Katarina the Red"
