Crossed Paths - OOC

[doghead]

Thanks, that kinda what I remember for Marcus. I didn't remember that Octar was 'an outsider' so to speak. Interesting.

For me, the encounter with the wendol witches and the confrontation with Octar was Marcus' initiation into the game. I would hate to lose Octar. But without TH, its not really Octar. And I know what you mean about ghosting characters as a DM.

Replace Octar or recruit an new ghost? Its your call.

TH has been off the boards for about two months, does anyone recall him mentioning that he would be away or did he do the good ol' disappearing act. Manzanita are you able to email him? As one of the originals it would be great to keep him on - only Jarval and myself left now I believe.

TH has been having computer problems. I did just send him an email. I won't replace him yet.

ETR = Estimated Time of Repair

So hopefully TH will be back, but there's no indication as to when it might be As Inez says, he's one of the original players, and it'd be a great shame to loose him.

On that note, how long has this game been going now? It's got to be one of the longest running games on EN World.

I started recruiting April 23, 2003. The game started a week or two later. There are a number of older games (including at least one of your, Jarval), but we're up there, I suppose.

 

[Jarval]

There's Of Sound Mind and the Psionicle, but other than those I can't really think of any games older than this that are still going. Oh, and there's the Star Wars Iconics, of course.

Manzanita,

Whats your prefered terminology for Marcus' people? From what I understand, the gypsies originally settled in Europe from northern india. Romarian? (from Romany - their original language I think. Is this the origin of Romania?) Gyptian? (the gypsies were originally thought to be from Egypt apparently)

Just wondering.

 

[Manzanita]

oh, I noticed you used Romarian in one of your posts. I think of them as gypsies, but there is another name, the official one in our world. It's currently escaping me. Whatever you want.

As for other games. Wow. Kind of sad, really, if those are the only ones older. Its tough keeping these games going.

 

[doghead]

Gypsy is fine. But let me know the name you use when it comes back to you.

Keeping games going is hard, in my experience. Thats why games like this are such gems. Thanks from this corner of cyberspace to everyone.

Hey Despaxas

I saw you "reason for editing" comment. Nice. Very droll.
