Fall of the 14th Kingdom (OOC)

[Arkhandus]

Hey folks, sorry about this, but I'm going to have to cancel tonight's session (and I won't be able to run For More Than Glory tomorrow night). I have a project to finish up over the next few days and I just can't spare any more time for gaming until it's done. There's just too much reading and writing left to do.

The game should be on for next week. If someone can go on OpenRPG and let Lindranis/Phyi know, it'd be appreciated. I don't know if she ever reads or checks the forum. I'll try logging on for a minute later on to inform her, but I dunno when.

Ummmm.... Ark? Where are you???

It's about a 1/2 hour past start time and Mako, Lin and I are just sitting in the Dev II lobby, praying you're going to show sometime soon...

 

[Arkhandus]

I ran around 45 minutes late or something, but we started the game a minute or two after I got there. Apologies.

Hopefully Adoroar and Irthos will be present at the next session, since things went slowly with just 3 players. I'll give out XP to those two for the past few sessions next time they show up.

 

[Dragonwriter]

Ark,
Mako, Lindranis and I waited in the Dev II lobby until 7:15 Pacific time, waiting for you to show up. There was no sign of Adoroar or Irthos. After an hour and fifteen minutes, we decided to call it quits.

Hopefully nothing went wrong for you, but we just got tired. I'm not sure how much longer Mako and Lin stayed on after I left (7:20 Pacific). Hopefully next week goes better.

 

[Arkhandus]

Sorry folks, this was a DST malfunction. My family's been distracting me with annoying, stupid little things all day, and I forgot that I'm now on the same time as Pacific Standard Time thanks to Daylight Savings and Arizona not using it. And I had to go to the bathroom around 7 pm my-time, so when I finally got on OpenRPG around 7:30 or 7:40, nobody was around. I thought I was only running around half an hour late because of the bathroom break. -_-

Hey, guys. Sorry I didn't show last week, but I was grounded because my algebra grade dropped. I would've posted, but ENworld has been locking me out for a while. I'm also posting to tell you that, due to grades, I won't be available for another six weeks or so. I know it sucks, but I don't have a lot of say in the matter. So either someone needs to NPC me or Irthos goes away for a while and returns later (Hopefully earning XP on his travels). Once again, really sorry guys. I can give Ark my character sheet if he needs it.

-Irthos

 

[Arkhandus]

I'll be on OpenRPG sometime within the next 5 minutes or so, just need to reset my computer.

Irthos will be separating from the group during this session, to go pursue something else off-screen. If you want to rejoin the group after you have normal computer access again, we can discuss it here or on OpenRPG at that point in time, Aramil. The same will be done with your PC in For More Than Glory.

 

[Dragonwriter]

I'm sorry, but I've got a little bad news...

I will not be able to make the next game (Sun Mar. 22).

 

[Dragonwriter]

Hmmm.... I've tried connecting three times, failing each time. So, it seems OpenRPG is down, or at least mine is. Is anyone else having trouble?

 

[Arkhandus]

Yep, same problem here. I tried several times to start OpenRPG, rebooting my computer, and nothing. Pythonw wouldn't respond. So I tried the OpenRPG website in my browser, and it also won't respond.

So it looks like the OpenRPG site is down for maintenance or something again, and thus nobody can connect to OpenRPG. At least this is the first time it's happened in the past month or three, IIRC. It really sucked during the few months where that happened frequently.

As a result, the game is on hold until either OpenRPG goes back online (which will be some indeterminate time tonight or tomorrow, as past experience indicates), or until next week if Open remains offline too long. I'll try again to connect around 7:30 PST, then at 8 PST. Maybe even try at 8:30. But after that, if OpenRPG isn't back online, I'll have to cancel the session until next Sunday.


EDIT: Well, it almost worked once close to 8, but nope, still froze when I tried to get a server list. I'm expecting it to stay unusable for awhile yet. Anyway, it slipped my mind earlier, but I'll have to eat dinner with the rest of the family since it's Easter, rather than my usual eating-in-my-room-while-using-the-computer-or-TV habit. So I won't be free for gaming until 9 or 9:30 (it's still not done cooking yet...), whether or not OpenRPG finally starts working before then.

This means I'll be calling off the game for tonight, sorry.
Happy Easter/Passover/whatever, everyone!
