You know, I haven't seen seasong post anywhere since friday. He must be having health/personal/computer problems. Give him a little slack on the RPOL. It doesn't take that much time to run a character there, you can post your turn in a couple minutes at work. Compare it to running a game like this one, with secret info and stuff, and the amount of work must be boggling.
Speaking of RPOL, I just won my first match! The proving grounds is so much better than Valhalla, in my opinion. The match actually lasted 5 rounds! It would have lasted longer, but my opponent conceded when he got shoved through the prismatic wall.
