No worries...

Besides if i bitched you might drop a beam and kill my guy or something... JK

Dont worry Rogue we all know you have life outside of TFP. :) :)

Don't we all! I've been a little inactive due to work and having the flu. I'm back though now!
:)

Welcome to the game MrSelfDestruct. Looks like you've found a way in. Don't mind the greeting, It was how I was initially "accepting" of people in this game and I somehow grew much softer...I guess it was when Minx joined the game. :)

But seriously, I'm trying to get back to reacting how I would imagine someone in that situation would react instead of just how i Cubby react to playing a game. We'll see if I can keep it going.

Welcome, once again to the game and I'm sure you'll add some more great dialogue and intrique to the party. (I'm not nearly as good at the actual writing as most of these people but I get by!)

I'll be waiting & watching as you all settle down with the death of Attrah,
and interacting with your new "accquaintance".

As soon as you're ready to move, I'll see it.

Updated pic of my character now for referance

sorry hot link did not work

Sorry I've been missing the last page of action. I've been having some lower back pains and it took away from the amusement in my creative side, and it wasn't very comfortable to sit at the computer. It's all better now.


FYI: For anyone who ever has lower back pain, or muscle tension that lasts for prolonged amounts of time, i *HIGHLY* reccommend "Therma Care" body raps. I was amazed at how quickly, after 3 days of pain, it alleviated *all* of the pain in only 3 hours. In order to thin my blood, I also drank some alcohol, and the combination provided amazing results. I am in a much better mood, and 72 hours of back pain is now virtually nil.

Let the gaming proceed! :)

Party:

Ever stuck a lemon on a paper cut?

....

This might hurt.... much much worse.

Sorry to hear you've been sore TinniT....glad to have you back in the game.
Lemon...paper cuts....look out Sexodus! ;)

Boy, you really know how to throw a GM for a loop.
How the hell am I going to judge this? much less describe it?

Then again, I'm asking myself that all the time
the fun never stops ;)

I know LOL, Tinnt you trying to kill me? JK
Thanks for all the help guys, You shure know how to help a comrade LOL thanks.



I know how you fill. I have no fluids in my L3 Vertibra. It hurts like hell. But percocets help ;)
P.S. I am glad to see you are doing better, Hopefully me too. My second Epideral(Spelling?) is on the 11th.

So what... Am i going to wake up Hard or Horny... LOL

or do i have to eat it first. LOL Im sorry im Laughing too much. LOL
ROFL

So what do you think "stiffens" the wound? :p

See what you started TinnT? LOL ;)

Sorry all I've been laid low by the flu so haven't been able to update any I will though tomorrow

:'( Thanks for caring everyone :p

Nah, I'm back in action and it's all good now, my fiancee is in town with me, so that's all good :D So now I will see how far you lot have progressed without me O_o

I'll be doing another update tomorrow.
My work had me running around like crazy that last couple of days,
so I couldn't get any creative juices flowing
And today I've got two different Xmas parties to go to.
And dammit, I can't find my notes on Attrah's shield & those two new items.

I'm going crazy...anyways tomorrow it will have settled down and will give me some time to search & focus.

Please excuse the delay,
talk amongst yourselves. ;)

That’s fine Rogue, I will be gone 12/19/03 until 01/02/04. i going to the Camine(Spelling?) Islands. ;)

:eek: you lucky bugger Sexodus.. Well have fun :) We'll look after your character :D

Sounds like you're having fun Rogue O_O Don't stress out to much, I'm sure your notes will pop up somewhere :)

I've been too busy at work as well to get into the game or even log on really. I'm so relieved there were a few others that were a little delayed as well.....I was sure I missed a whole bunch!! Whew!!! ;)

Well...I meant to start into it again sooner but fate had different plans for me.
My company's billing database went down yesterday, and I've been scrambling to recover & rebuild it.
Geez...no wonder I'm bald. ;)

But here we go again, I like what I'm seeing
Have at it.

When it rains it pours eh Rogue? :cool:

Oh, you're not kidding
Today, just to have even more fun with me,
our database that allows customer to interface/configure went down too.
And now I've been spending all day rebuilding/recovering THAT one.
And I haven't even figured out what happened to the LAST one yesterday yet.
Same error, same lack of fix I gave SIX months ago.
And Oracle wasn't any help either, if anything they added to the aggravation.

I'm exhausted...but at least I was able to update this morn before it hit the fan.
Onward, ho.

Cubby you need to read your PM for important info.

FYI: XianXian is a ditz when it comes to identifying treasure. Like most of the Fey folk, its all just shiny things to her.


Rogue: I hear you. We had our telephone system go down in september, and no matter how many times I cite errors in the rotary programing and rotary computer, it takes about 6 different angles of a problem before the systems manager will send a technician to fix it.

The frustrating thing, is that the technician will either not fix the problem, or will address a completely different issue, and cause a problem elsewhere. Its been since september, and the main problem; in getting phones answered within 40 seconds, still hasn't worked.

Example: A customer calls into our network. Our phones have three settings "Available (taking calls)" "Unavaialable (on break of some sort)" and "Work (ussually calling a customer, or contacting a vendor, so that no incoming calls come to the phone)".

I've figured out through many different methods that when a Teleservice agent is on "Unavailable" a call still logs into the buffer zone of their phone. So though phones elsewhere in the office might not be ringing, there are still calls loading onto the person's phone who is on break. As soon as they sit down, they turn their phone on, and delightfully hear, 'you think you could have put me on hold any longer?'

No matter how many times I address this to management, they don't believe it possible, even though I've looked up the schematics and process of how to fix it through siemens support faqs.


I'm sure your database issue is quite a bit more advanced than our phone system, but still... Its terrible when there isn't any intermediary support to assist you.

Just read my PM Rogue..thanks for the info!

Hope things are better at work tommorrow (today?)

Rogue! :eek: That bites.. stress less and you'll be right mate :D

Tinnit maybe you should do up a doco on what should be done with the phone lines, like accumulate the data and give that to them. That might make them turn cheek.

And Rogue, do you know who had the extra bag of holding.. I can't remember if it was I or not? O_o Just when you have time mate :)

After a little research...

There were 3 Bags of Holding originally found in the Nightmare's crypt.
Darghon kept one, Vinoh another.
Thantos referred to either Gell or Attrah taking one,
But Attrah held off not wanting any treasure, and referred to Gell.
Gell never said that he took one, since he wasn’t talking that much at the time.
So I’m going to assume that Thantos never gave it to anyone, and just tucked it aside empty
And kept it on his person for future purposes.

Aren’t I nice? ;)

Yes, very! Especially since I forgot that I had one!

Thanks!

Incredibly Rogue... :p

Darghons must have went in the D-bag..

hmm?? :)

Why am I nervous about what wonderful new adventure our gm has in store for us?
:lol:

It's the twinkle in his eye I say!! Not to forget the maniacle grin either... :lol:

BTW
PLEASE tell me if you are going to be unavailable within the coming week.

I know the big holiday is coming up, and much is going to start getting very hectic.
Let me know you are not around, or if you are around.
Don't just go off.

Is this an accurate look of the room Rogue?

:hmm:

Stupid code!!! geez can't even do a simple text map

More like this....

.....D.......D......D.....


S............B.............S


.............D.............


You came out of the 1st D "door" above.
There are two other doors to the left of you.
There is one door on the opposite wall.
Halfway across the room (30 x 30), in the center is the Brazier & the hourglass is above it,
and on the left & right are large alcoves with one iron statue in each.

All of you are inside, some of you are near the brazier.

Rogue, I will be off an on for the next week or so. I am home, so I may be able to find some time to get on the computer but I have a pretty busy weekend and then of course Christmas. I should be able to get on at least every couple of days but will try for more.

I won't be here tomorrow (sunday) but I'm pretty much right for the rest of the week :D

And now you have me worried when you say that things are goin to get hectic :hmm:

I'll be around.

Nah...I meant things getting hectic IRL around the holiday.
However, I can't promise anything in the thread. ;)

More questions about the room:
How high is the hourglass?

Could I reach the top?

If so, is the top attached firmly?

Is there anything on the floor or walls that appears to be flammable?

I answered under James' name in the game thread.

I'll be heading down to my family's today.
Unfortunately, due to logistics it is very difficult to access a computer during this time.

So while we're in the midst of this transitional scene,
I'm going to briefly put the thread on hiatus for 2 days.

We shall continue again on Friday after the holiday.

Happy Holidays to you all, and many wishes to you & yours.

Have a good one... but you'll prolly read this when you get back sooo... Hope you holiday with the fam was great :D

Reminds me of an episode of star trek...

right when things get good....


"Tune in next week!"

We are on again...I hope you all had a nice holiday.

Sexodus, you need to read your PM's

Actually, would several of you either activate your ability to receive PM's
or
clean them out enough so you can receive new ones.

I use these to communicate with you
both OOC and about what's going on in the story.

Thank you.

My fiancee goes 'Doh' hehe.. awww.. Do you think I spend to much time on this :confused: But anyways.. back to it :D

Welcome back Rogue. And I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays!
Now....game on!
;)

Sorry guys...might be another day or two until I have a chance to read and reply...the whole family's been sick and we're using every spare minute to sleep...Monday I'll definitely get a chance...possibly tommorrow. sorry all...

Bugger aye.. I hate being sick.. :( Had glandular fever one year.. then the year after I contracted Pavo.. sucks to be me.. Just don't catch any of them :p

Get well soon mate! :D

Poor Cubby! I sure hope everyone is feeling better soon.
And no worries....the thread has been fairly quite over the holidays so you haven't missed too much.

You all need to make some choices, and take some actions.
There's only so much I can describe a hallway. :)

Make a decision.
Please.

Done done and done..
:)

Rogue...I have left it up to you (basically) whether I can "contact" the cat. That is my talent as an elf you know....the link. I hate to just take things into my own hands so I leave a lot of the decisions up to you!
:p

Hey all Rogue said something intersting to me in a past PM, we seemed to have forgotten poor Father Quadriel, and I think maybe we should search for him. I think our crafty DM has something in store regarding our fat friar.

I wouldn't be suprised if we find him sleeping in the store house, Ale in one hand, chicken leg in the other O_o Least we'd be able to stock up on supplies as well :cool:

I was gone and now i have returned, hope everyone had great holidays and happy new year :D

OK, sorry for the delay...to be honest...
My mind is recovering from the shit at work that went down,
and my stress-reduction techniques (partying) from New Year's.

I'll be posting as soon as my brain cells can wrap around some creativity.
But I'm waiting for some to do their thing...
I'll have to track 'em down...oh well, work is never done. :rolleyes:

Aww Rogue.. You drink too much? :p Hehe

You'll be right :D I'm sure you're not the only one recovering, I had a quiet night that night anyhow.. the only real sound was my brother coming home hoiking in the toilet.. lol.

I am Checking my PM's.

Did you all forget that i went to the Caymen Islands? till today?

LOL figures JK JK

Good to be back... i see you all have done alot!
Great job XianXian. (On the Stone)

Congratulations to ALL.
The thread is now past 1500

And the views are near 9500

You've all have helped make this RPG what it.

And it looks like you're going in deeper. ;)
Enjoy.

BTW...this is the basic layout of the room

BSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBD
B.......c.........d.......B
B....d.......................B
D.............T........C......F
D.............T........C......F
B....d.......................B
B.......c.........d........B
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBD

D = door
B = bookshelf
F = fireplace
S = stairs
T= table
d, c = divans & chairs

Just to prevent confusion in the description, it's an orderly enough room. :)

Thanks for the layout Rogue!
And good to have everyone back again! :)

I LIKE CATS :D:D:D:D:D:D

We can tell! ;)
So kids....I think there's more to this room (the study with the cat) then we have discovered. I may be wrong, but....

Hey Wingnut! Good to have you join us, buddy! :)

Regarding the appearance of the cat, I should have put two and two together earlier knowing that you wanted to join us!

Yes, everyone welcome Wingnut to the party.

Damn, it's hard keeping a secret,
but the setup & surprise it worth it. ;)

Welcome indeed to our newest member! :D

yes welcome Great way to enter the game too :D !!

Talking cats, dragons, elves and faeries, great all we need is a white rabbit and a girl named alice and we'll be all set :D

*me ponders..*
hrmm.. nup.. thought I might have been able to do something about that.. :p

Please understand I regretfully leave this in your hands.
I have resigned my mod position, and am leaving the site.

I have enjoyed many incredible hours with you all,
and have learned that you are a wonderfully creative group of people.

Please contact each other to see if you can continue this among yourselves

James - MrSelfDestruct (mod)
krazixs - krazixs
Sexodus - Sexodus
D'Aleen - Minx
XianXian - TinniT
Thantos - Cubby
Vinoh - Bob Biter
Darghon - GolderOuroboros
Kentalos - Beltruckus
The Cat - Wingnut

I'm very sorry, I wish I could continue this
But I cannot stay where I'm not considered.

If you wish to still contact me, or ask questions about the game
you can still reach me at rogue49email@excite.com

Fare well, comrades in arms & art. :(

Noo rogue.. don't go :(

What has happened?
:(

Rogue, is there anything we can do to convince you to stay?

woah. I am entirely amazed. I hav eonly been with the game for the past two months, but this is completely outside the realm of surprise. It is definitely into the realm of shock.

I really enjoyed the time I spent in yoru world, and hope that it won't end. I truly hope that this isn't forever quits, and that if it is, perhaps (if judging that your reasoning is not posted publically) you could inform us all of everything that occured... that is if it is not too personal to you to share it with us.

Much luck and success to you in your real-world future, rogue. I really enjoyed this one :)

GONE FROM THE SITE? RESIGNED AS MOD? WTF?

What the hell is going on?! Minx is one unhappy camper.

Could not agree more - Wingnut is also an extremely upset camper:mad: :mad:

This is really weird..I received a PM from Rogue today at 12:06 am and 8 hours later he is leaving?

The PM even stated that he would be giving me words for a new poem when he got home today...strange.....

Well kids. I hate to say it but if Rogue is really gone for good, and I do believe he is after reading the various posts, his thoughts, etc. what are we going to do? Pick someone to act as GM? Go on without one....impossible.
:(
Help!

start a new one? Then I can be there from a fresh start!!! :D

Not that I wouldn't want you aboard, GakFace, but I think I speak for everyone involved in this adventure that too much time and energy have been spent developping the plot to just let it fizzle away. Some of us have been in this since the very beginning (myself, Cubby and GoldenOurobouros) and I believe that a proper, epic conclusion would be in order before even thinking of ending this. Based on all of this, here are my suggestions:

- Beg Rogue to keep doing this outside of the TFP, meaning that he would e-mail his posts privately to someone, who would then copy it onto the thread.
- Elect a new GM amongst our group, preferably one with experience in such things, who would give up his/her character, get the lowdown from Rogue and keep this thing going.
- Keep going without a GM, which means individual contributions would keep the plot moving. However, I've done this in the past, and it tends to get confusing.
- Stop the game short with one final confrontation that would happen very soon. This would conclude the game, but in an unsatisfactory way, IMHO, due to our investment in it.

Well, that's all I have. I'm really upset as well that Rogue is leaving and hope that everything will turn out fine for him. I, too, would like to know why he left, but ultimately that's none of our business.

Ahh, fuck it. I'm e-mailing him.

Please do Bob.. I would personally go for the first two options you have goin there.. I so don't want this to end.. it has been goin on for so long.. :(

Rogue would have to be the best GM I have played with so far.. I was thinking of maybe setting up a website.. copying all posts to there and yeah.. Only thing is is that we'd have to continue this by email correspondance to do it that way...

I am with GoldenOuroboros on this one.

Man this Sucks i Know i wasnt part of the Original but (Bob biter, Cubby and GoldenOurobouros), I feel like i have been with you from the start.. I read the WHOLE thread before i started. I feel very Involved and i am sure so do all the others That read or didnt read the begining!

I wouldnt mind taking this to another Forum that Rougue is going to. And maybee Golden can do the website for the first post for anyone wanting to read up on us!

But Without Rougue i feel like not even Continuing, Becouse I have a hard time keeping up with this (School and all). but this is my way of Unwinding at the end of my days. Or even a great start to others!

Hopefully Rouge can find a Way to continue!

OK, I've just got an e-mail back from Rogue saying that he would also be sad to see this end. He endorses the option of us picking a GM amongst our group, who would give up his/her character (or perhaps control it on a more subdued level) and get all the quest info. IMHO, this seems to be the more sensible and expeditious way to go about this.

Therefore, I propose to let those who wish to be the new GM come forward, so the rest of us can vote on who we want at the helm. I, for one, would be honoured to GM this great adventure, but would like to hear from the rest of you guys as well.

I was Jokin'.. I know this is a big thread and you all want it to continue. I've had my fair share of RPG's.. and I remember one where I purposely HAD to stop playing my character.. I hated doing it. I've had others where I simply lost contact with the GM.... or we started a new one... It sucks, I know.. I was just joking. Although I wouldn't mind a second one as well... :)

I simply never joined as I've been too busy gaming to backread the whole thing.

I vote for BOB Biter, he seems to have the most experience and commitment

:D :D :D :D :D
We may have a solution peoples ;)

I vote for Bob as well if he is indeed interested. I would but I just don't have the time to DM right now. Besides, I've only DM'd like one game before so I don't think I'd be the best to continue this.

(another suggestion i had was to get Rogue to come back on with another pseudonym just to DM the game... :) No one would need to know....)

Some how I don't think that will work, nor do I think Rogue would be interested. Maybe I am speaking out of turn, but that sounds very hypocritical - I don't beleive Rogue is hypocritical. If he wants to come back, I am sure he will come back as Rogue. Just my view

I also would say Bob would be our best pick to take over.

I definitely do not want to see the game ended prematurely.

OK all.. I need everyones to email me at

warrenbrittain@hotmail.com

please. Rogue and I have talked and he thinks the idea I have would be the best solution. I'll reply to you there :)

email incoming ;)

I thank all those who think I'd make a good replacement. However, if GO and Rogue have worked out something better, than I'll check that out first.

E-mail incoming!

Mine's on it's way GO. Let's see what you guys have cooked up!

And could you write back telling me what ya think.. Thanks :)

Email sent!

Golden...just to clear things up here....does Rogue still want to be our GM if we use this idea of yours?

Answer sent in ya emails :)

Mine is on its way
