[Announcement] Messages from the Game Operations Director

[Pilgrim]

Tired. Going to bed. Update in the morning when I wake up.

[Pilgrim]

Since Keiran told me he was considering dropping, I'm making an exception to my general rule for him - if he hasn't posted in game by Thursday's update, I'm assuming he has dropped. Even though he hasn't been gone for three weeks, he'll have the standard nonattendance penalty rules applied. (For tonight's update, unless he posts, he'll simply be taking full defense.)

[Pilgrim]

In case some of you are getting combat-weary, the enemies currently on the map are the last ones in this battle, and there will be plenty of roleplay before another major combat starts (though I'm not ruling out smaller skirmishes). In any case, as things stand now I won't be doing an update tonight because, well, nobody has posted.

[Pilgrim]

Tonight's update will be delayed until tomorrow morning do to GM headache. Sorry.

[Pilgrim]

Wow. Lots of damage from the enemies this round. I'm glad that when I combined the encounters I weakened the rider and took out a total of 6 goblins...

[Pilgrim]

No post from Firkraag, so no update tonight. Thursday we'll go to the end of the round, though. Elfman, the mounted goblin will, barring extraordinary changes in that area, be going after Father Zantus, so you can react accordingly.

[Pilgrim]

I'm going to skip tonight's update since it would either be nothing but NPC actions or skip two PCs, one of whom is still active.

[Pilgrim]

I have a really busy day ahead of me, so I will not be updating tonight. Next update will be Tuesday. I'm really sorry I haven't gotten any of the new characters in; I'll go ahead an put you in the next update regardless of whether combat finishes or not (or even whether I finish character sheets or not - if you take an action that rules would matter on, I'll do my best to calculate on the fly.) For those who haven't, could you please put your character overview (your application) into the characters thread?

[Pilgrim]

As a reminder, I will be updating tonight, and it will include new characters. I will also finish the combat, one way or another, so we'll be in "RP mode" - no worries about acting in initiative order after the update.

To our new players - I'm working on character sheets before class tonight, and will finish after. However, I will give you time to look them over, change your mind about things, notice mistakes, etc. In case I wasn't clear, racial trait substitutions and archetypes are allowed, so if you wanted to use one and didn't know you could, you still have time. After Saturday's update, though, they'll be "locked".

[Pilgrim]

I have a ball to go to tomorrow night, so the update will either be tomorrow afternoon or delayed until Sunday. Not sure which yet, but if it isn't up by 5 o'clock Central Time tomorrow, assume it will be Sunday night.

[Pilgrim]

My apologies, but the update will be delayed until tomorrow afternoon. I have a splitting headache and am going to bed early.

Wow. Deja vu. Sorry, everyone.

[Pilgrim]

Sorry I missed a few updates there, I will be making one tonight. I also think I will go ahead and move on to the next day, including Chapter 2, but I will leave Ch1 open for any interaction that happens the previous day.

[Pilgrim]

Due to a group project needing to be done, there will be no update tonight. Or probably Thursday.

[Pilgrim]

Just letting everyone know that, in spite of finals, I am going to try to do an update tomorrow night. Thursday is less certain; Saturday is guaranteed.
