OOC Sword of Valor, Wrath of the Righteous AP by MLeibrock and Scotley

[Queenie]

Fenris, just so you know how I feel about our 'thing', it's all in good fun, and our in-character antagonism ceases at the event hoizon of cyberspace. We've been acquainted here at ENWorld now for quite a few long years, and it's been a good and pleasant acquaintance as far as I'm concerned.

Queenie, your man is perfectly capable of speaking up for himself.

Of course he is and he will. I was just not certain he'd be around at all today and didn't want to leave the issue lingering.

 

[Queenie]

Sometimes, hopefully rarely, it takes me a day or two to settle on a final wording.

So if everyone has edit-itis, exactly how long should we wait to post a reply to a post? A day? An hour? Like I said, I'm not as used to posting on ENW and perhaps there are rules here that don't apply on CM.

We used to have "frenzy night" once a week where all the players would gather online and game as if we were at the table. People would post over each other all the time and we'd just go back and edit to fix it later. Though in the case of those games, our goal was to make the story hour right, so fixing things was correct but not urgent. I'm definitely used to that frenetic pacing. Waiting four days for updates kills me! Certainly ups the tension

 

[Scott DeWar]

I check on line once a day and peruse once I get caught up on the list of games that show up on my 'Settings'.

If I had access at home I would try a frenzy night, but be9ng I a at a subway sandwich shop, it may not be good. There is a thing called closing time, for some strange reason.

I've been wondering when you would finally admit to your narcicissistic ways. . I'm only kidding buddy but I am looking forward to getting a personal dose of it in a couple months! I expect you to stay healthy!!

That is, indeed, the plan, Kemosabe, but we all know about that junk. I just hope I'm employed by then and still able to snag a day off or two.

I am trying to imagine a less impulsive Leif. I just cant visualize it . . . . .

The mind just boggles, no?

And as for me, I am sure every one here knows this [hush Leif] break out the whole salt shake for my sense of humor!

on an aside:

Health update!

My pushups are greatly reduced in pain

I have been using a 5 gallon bucket of water for other exorcises.

Still have a long way to recoup lost strength, though.

That's still good news, DeWar. Awwright, suck in that gut! Is that a 20 pound turkey in your britches, or is that what you call an ass?! We're gonna run that right off of you, P-P-P-Private! Hup, Two Tray, Four!! I don't know why I left, ........... But I left on my own, .......... And it won't be lo-o-ong, ......... 'Til I git on Back Home!

No, reply as you will. If I make significant changes, I try to clue everyone in about it in a later post. Usually.

Do you ever see Jared in there? Does he play D&D?

Hope you get a job soon! Is there a VA near by you can get a job at?

The mind just boggles, no?

I sprained my brain! owwwwwwwch!

Dang, twisted my ankle last night. been walking it off all day

No, reply as you will. If I make significant changes, I try be less clueless to everyone about it in later posts. Usually.

FIFY

nope and nope; not enough room with my 20 lb turkey ass for any one else.

My edits should be within a couple minutes. If I screwed up something for longer than that I'll make it known. With a party this size there may be occasions where I'll need to build a summary post of combat with a series of edits as I pull together each players' actions. I'll make that clear before I start.

I would love to get a frenzy night in sometime if we can swing, but that's asking a lot of a group this size. It would likely need to be a Friday or Sunday for me.

Got it. Can respond quickly, try to re-check before posting and we'll deal with edits if necessary

I wasn't mentioning Frenzy as a suggestion for this game, but my own my goodness it would be fabulous. It is difficult with so many people... but I will say the chaos of posting like that really simulates what probably happens in "real" battle. My character almost killed another character when she rode up on a horse invisibly and I thought it was an enemy. Fun times!

I was really just mentioning it to point out I am used to responding quickly but can certainly slow it down if that is what is called for here on ENW / this game.

Now that you'all know way more about me then you care, I'll shut up

-I was only in the Army Reserve, so the VA treats me like a civilian. But I'm pursuing every online lead that I can find, and my former supervisor is throwing me the occasional bone to do legal work for my ex-employer only now it's for hefty fees instead of a salary, and I get no benefits. If one of these online job leads pans out, and they pay what they claim to pay, I'll be "Sittin' in the fabled catbird seat!" (-- Thank you, John Goodman) Luckily my wife has insurance through her state job, and we've got the safety net of the wonderful ObamaCare!
-Rub some liniment on your brain.
-Tough break about your ankle, if it's an actual injury and not just a scam to get out of marching, Profile!
-What's FIFY? ("Forget It, F___ You?????)
-hehehe, at least you got the nice plumage of a turkey's posterior.

 

[Kaodi]

I am a sad and unemployed person. A frenzy night basically whenever would be great to me.

 

[Leif]

Sorry to hear of your plight, Kaodi. I'm not in a terribly bad place myself, because I know that while fortunes ebb and flow, somebody always gets pi__ed and wants to sue somebody else, or else somebody wants to safeguard their family against the pi__-off hotheads and wants to set up a trust or a will to protect them. Maybe I should be looking harder for work, but today I spent basically all morning running hither and yon doing 'honey-dos' that my wife was unable to do because of work. Take this kid here, pick up that for the other kid, now take the first kid to school, pick the kids up from school, cook supper for everybody. Eeesh! I've gone from being a Corporate Lawyer to being a House Husband in just three or four weeks! Ahh, it's not so bad.
