[QUOTE="Ilex, post: 5139812, member: 82687"] [b]April 1 Announcement[/b] So... you may have noticed that we've been a little sporadic about posting recently, and I'm sorry to announce that, due to creative differences, the story hour and the game have totally fallen apart. Here's what happened. Basically, we've all realized that D&D just isn't for us anymore. WisdomLikeSilence, for example, has become obsessed -- and I do mean obsessed -- with professional football. Yes, it's the off season, but she's spending all her free time researching prospects for her fantasy teams this fall and re-decorating her daughter's room with Raiders paraphernalia. And she keeps calling us all "nerds" and "dorks" in, like, a [i]mean[/i] way. Meanwhile, Fajitas has declared that he'll keep running the game for us [i]only[/i] on the condition that we convert it to a futuristic space setting starring a boy band of Justin-Bieber lookalikes who travel the universe teaching wacky aliens Upstanding Moral Lessons through song. Then there's jonrog1, who has joined a religious [s]cult[/s] "study group" and made bizarre threats to us if we say anything more about it or so much as comment on his new headgear. Thatch and jenber are building some kind of bunker out in the middle of nowhere that has nothing to do with conspiracy theories and everything to do with their new preoccupation with motorcyles. They, like WisdomLikeSilence, have taken to declaring that the rest of us are "uncool" although they do, to their credit, keep trying to buy us studded leather jackets so they can feel less ashamed of our geekiness when speaking to us. spyscribe has taken a job with the Republican National Committee to organize classy donor outings in the Los Angeles/Hollywood/West Hollywood area. And by "outings" I mean... never mind. ellinor is still into D&D and this story hour, and has nobly tried to hold everyone together through reasoned argument, legal wrangling, heartfelt song-composing (not, to Fajitas's disappointment, in a boy-band vein), and some light, quasi-legal bribery. But I've told her, and everybody else, that I can't be friends with anyone who supports the Raiders, I just can't, and that's the end of it. [SIZE="4"][COLOR="DarkOrange"]GO[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]BRONCOS[/COLOR][COLOR="DarkOrange"]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/COLOR][COLOR="Blue"]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/COLOR][/SIZE] ...and with that April 1 announcement out of the way, here's the next story hour update.
