How dare you not like the romanticized fangirl version when you have the real thing! Shame on you. We need to have a Squeentervention, stat.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

On a related note, why do we always seem to end up with outrageous levels of sexual tension between you guys' characters? I can't wait to see which NPC gets shipped with the warforged.

Well I guess it's because something is actually there?

Adellion/Constantine doesn't count, since we were only shipping them because they were fangirl bait.

They were only fangirl bait because of the obvious Foe Yay.

It's the angst. The ladies do love an Iron Woobie.

Wow, guys, I am really sorry. The trip got off to a bad start with a late departure and a huge wall of traffic caused by people heading up and down the coast for Memorial Day Weekend. In the end, we didn't arrive at the hotel until around midnight, at which point I was so tired and in such a grumpy mood that I figured there wasn't much purpose in logging on to try to catch the last hour of the game.

Then today, like a genius, I leave all my stuff in a hotel room to which I do not actually possess a key, everyone goes off doing something or other, and it takes me the entire last part of my day to get reunited with my laptop.

So Yeah. Friday I'm willing to blame on bad luck, but today was just straight-up incompetence on my part. I apologize if my absence held the game up or detracted from its quality.

It's ok Arim, Things happen. Everyone basically went off to do their own thing tonight anyways, Dana probably would have been with Millie on the zeppelin posing dramatically as it sailed to support the war against Khan.

Given that I have qualifying exams*

next week, I'm going to cancel game this weekend. I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but I'm not doing as well on the material as I had hoped. We will resume next weekend and skip the two weekends after that (booked over a month in advance for both). Once we get past the first week of July, we'll run straight through until we finish.

I feel a post in the "Bitch about your GM" thread coming on...

(j/k)

I'm booked the first weekend in July as well, of course.

I think one of the Fridays in June, I have a thing. And I have my big Glee tribute in mid-August, but I hope we can get done before then.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

But seriously, three weeks straight without a game. Don't be surprised if we're all one big derp when we finally get around to playing.

Matrix, you're derp if you go five days without playing. Also, while it will end up being nearly three weeks between games, we aren't skipping three weeks in a row—we played a week and a half ago.

@Staghorn: You guys will have to be incredibly incompetent for us not to finish before the end of July.
