"Garountees"? Ooooh, that was really bad. That pun made my teeth ache. Soon all of this smack talk will cease only to be replaced by medieval smacketh talketh. "F*ck thee".

Carlos: Take it easy, man. As far as I know, you have nothing to worry about, as you're not tainted. And I'm not about to make it my life's goal to hunt down and eradicate some two-bit leach who thinks he's king shit of turd mountain just cuz he's wyrmtainted. Much like you, I have bigger fish to fry. But, you know, if Cyrus just happens to cross our path, well, I'm not making any garountees, is all I'll say.

Standing high in the turrets of his castle Baron Lenoig looks over his lands and sighs in frustration. For one brief shining moment, the forces of the Fae and the combined might of all the Prodigals (vampires and werewolves) stayed the onslaught of the coming Apocolypse.

As the threat has ended, age old rivalries and hatreds have torn us apart yet again. He decides there is but one thing to do.

The Baron returns to his chambers and pens a proclamation, "Unto every creature of the Dreaming. Recent battles have worn us weary, and the Deep Dreaming calls. I shall be leaving the city for some time and call all those Fae who would quest for lost glory. I pray all the Fae of my realm will join me."

(From my laptop in Mexico)

I have to stop myself from laughing for a moment to respond to this madness.

It is this simple Lupines: Stay away from Kindred business and turn your attentions to other matters. Cyrus and Vlad both have my number and I can be back in the city in a matter of hours if need be. I will not tolerate attacks upon my subjects, especially after it's been proven that others are behind the "Wyrm" taint within the city.

I prefer to eliminate the root cause of this taint, but if necessary I can eliminate a symptom or two if it becomes too bothersome.

Come now, people: I'm sure that if we set our differences aside for a while and discuss things rationally, we can come to an agreement that doesn't involve any fighting or killing. Also, Cyrus was absolutely essential in the destruction of Famine, so if he winds up dead by Garou hands (or whatever those things are), I shall be forced to instill myself with the Wyrm, thereby not only making your efforts all for naught, but also corrupting a fine, upstanding member of the community.

hehe

Oooh... a big Klaive, now I'm scared. Does the big ostentatious sword bring your trait total up to 31+? The reason I ask, is because thats what a potential max for Cyrus is. So NEENER!!! Powergaming, woohoo!!!(I'm joking)

....and then there was the Briine... oh wait, this is the LARP board. heh thought I was on my Ds9 board for a sec. :) Oh, how fun things are shaping up to be here. :) If only my character could see what was actually going on here on this board, he'd bring the rath of War's Claive and the Tear of Gaia on Cyrus' sorry ass....yet, he can't, so he wont....yet. :) heh. Keep in mind Adam, that I had a total brainfart when Cyrus did Theft of Vitae on Akalai...for I completely forgot the FX of burning a Willpower to ignore the loss of that mental challenge. Or the fact that I should have burnt a Rage and had him put two more points of luv on Cyrus to put him into that luvin' state we call torpor. Moot point now. :) Anways, I'd like to thank the ENTIRE storyteller corp for a great semester of LARP'ing. I'd also like to thank the players, for the most part, in making it a great experience as well. :) It made it much worth the 1.5 hour trip up every weekend. I look foward to seeing you guys this weekend at the LARPies. I'm PLAN on bringing Chinese...how many people like HOT stuff? Just so I know what kind to get. Let me know at tazman@rezidentgeek.com :) Mike

Ya I know it was fucking you, but what I'm fuckin sayin' is if you two got such a fuckin beef with each other. Get your lime asses off some plush chair, get your little johnny one eye out of a mellon and find some dark place to beat the snot out of each other. If you two still want to talk like old nacy boys I know a great Eshu that lives in webbervile, he'd love to chat with you two.

Good! Then you see my point! You feed responsibly, I hunt responsibly. I don't just kill anything, I only kill wyrm tainted. Like you. You should be able to liken this to why you chose certain mortals for your feeding. It has a lot to do with how I select which wyrmspawns to hunt. I don't like ANY of you "kindred" but I only persue a few of you. See how it is? Just because you're one of the ones we persue, however, is the the reason you're whining about it. Now, if you can be cleansed...... nah, I'll just tear you in half and be done with it.

To Mr. Fairborn, I don't "pop open mortals like a can of Mountain Dew", I feed responsibly. I don't kill the vessels from which I feed, and if the other kindred in Lansing do, they are breaking our Masquerade. As for my cowardly little wards... discretion is the better part of valor. Perhaps your kinds ignoring this fact is why your population continues to decrease? I am done on this subject, as I have matters I must attend to. To Icabod: I hope you realize I was one who helped you gain access to Famine's haven. I have no qualms with any of your kind, I hope it stays that way.

I learned something, famine sucks. I'm going to go eat something now.

...none of you have learned anything from the recent experiences. Why does that not surprise me?

By the way, I put my fuckin Dras on Crabs on his balls, I mean Talks to Bugz. Either way, whoop that Sidhe wanna be.

Oh, and as to what happened when one of my packmates came after you... I heard you got knocked flat on your puny ass, but that's just me. *snicker* Come back when you grow a pair.

Talks 2 Bugz

You fail to understand me, Wyrmspawn. *sigh* I'll try this one again. No, We DON'T negotiate or ANYTHING with the Wyrm tainted. We destroy the wyrm tainted. End of story. It is our nature, our duty, and our desire to do so. I'll ask you the question, then, of why you must drink blood... you don't try to negotiate or understand those you drink from, you just crack them open like a can of Mountain Dew, and guzzle away. You may think this is a stupid argument to make on my own behalf, but then again, I think yours is pretty lame too. :-P

I'll tell you what. This is the deal, cuz frankly I've had enough of yer shit, Wyrmspawn. You don't need to worry about me stomping your ruddy-poo candy ass into the ground if we don't find you. But if we do, as our set of laws dictates we must, we will "combat the Wyrm wherever it breeds and whereever it dwells." ...Like you. So go and hide behind your cowardly little wards, see if I care. But do know that the minute you step from behind them, Drake Fairborn and the sept of Luna's Pact will be waiting for you. So you'd better be ready... or very fast.

Talks 2 Bugz

I'll get back to ya cyrus, but right now I've got a date with the skull of your mom. Cruckin' canadian.

So, Mr. Fairborn, correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be how Lupines deal with various situations: You don't like something, so you kill it. You don't bother to attempt to bargain or negotiate with the entity, you just kill it, it doesn't matter if its a superior foe or not. You are threatened by the fact that someone is more intelligent than you, so you make yourself seem superior through physical prowess, strengthening the arguement that all male Lupines have small penises, and the females are always burdened with PMS. Lastly, your overconfidence in your crinos form is rather humorous. You think this entity which grants you your power is more powerful than the gifts granted to us by Caine? I will thoroughly enjoy ending your pitiful existence should you be stupid enough to come for me.

Cyrus: Oh, shit, I'm quaking in my boots...

Carlos: Oh, shit, I'm quaking in my boots...

Icabod: Um, okay, whatever. You bitch about a pissing contest by JOINING IN on it? *ROFL* Rethink your logic and get back to me.

Talks 2 Bugz

Cyrus: The Wolves are short-sighted, you should know this by now. Our alliance is over however, and they feel it best to target whatever offends their fickle noses. I think you know how best to handle them and I trust you to do so without causing undue strain on this just healing city's populace. The "untainted" Prince supports you as you have performed admirably as Keeper of Elysium. I leave my resources are at your command Cyrus. It would be a shame if you had to spend your nights behind the wards you have placed for all of our protection.

To all kindred: I will be leaving for a time to take care of personal business. I leave the city in the hands of Vlad Karlov, or failing that to Cyrus. Be well and stay safe until I return.

Ok, first of all what the hell is this crap ass plastic box bullshit computer shit. Damn it this stuff is fruckin retarded, look here, keys and a screen. WHOOP-DEE FUCKIN' DOOO! Secondly, look at you two and your dumb ass pissin' match. I'm so bloody glad that you two can cruckin' type. GET SOME DAMN BALLS AND GO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER FOR ARCANIA'S SAKE! hell I've seen Sidhe with bigger cohones than you two. Hell I can make FUBAR that'd take you both out. Now stop your pissin' on this damn cheap ass plastic box, damn the don't fucking make anythign good any more, plastic this rubber that, and go beat the shit out of each other. When you're done with that I'm sure I can fuckin' take the winner out with a concrete dog with glowing stones for eyes. Just you wait ya little pansys. By the way, WHAT THE HELL IS F***!?!

Well, Mr. Fairborn, I guess your reasoning is adequate. So, from now on, I'll just stay in my nice little Elysium which is warded against your kind. When I'm not there, I bet I can find some silver and form a weapon out of it to protect myself. Oh, and ask one of your friends, I apologize that I don't know his name, what happened when he attacked me. Its an experience he won't soon forget. Whether you want to believe me or not, physical prowess is no match for mental acumen.

Allow me to field this one... Being the Sept Alpha (that would be a little like your prince, I believe) I have one quest and one quest only that me and my fellow Garou persue: The eradication of the Wyrm in Lansing. Once that is done, we may move on to bigger and badder things, but for now, cleansing Lansing is an ample goal. I also, as the Sept Alpha, have complete confidence in the abilities and judgements of my fellow Garou. Mercury, our Ritemaster, has decreed that you, Cyrus (hehe, who uses thier real name on line anyways? *smirk*) are indeed tainted by the Wyrm, and therefor MUST BE DESTROYED. Sorry, slugger, but those are the breaks of the game. I don't know how you became Wyrm tainted, and frankly, I don't really give a f*** either, but you are, and that is all I need to know.

As for leaving you alone, no, I'm sorry, but it just aint going to happen. So pack away all of your stuff, pick out a nice urn that your ashes can be stored in, and notify your next of kin (if you vampires have any, that is) and I and/or my packmates will be coming for you some time soon. Tough breaks, man.

Drake "Talks 2 Bugz" Fairborn

To the Lupines: Why do you despise me so vehemently? I have done nothing to offend your kind previous to this last week, in which I was acting only in defense. During our struggle against the Horsemen, I was targetted twice by your kind, when it was in everyone's best interest to put petty differences aside. Now I ask... please, leave me alone.

(from a letter to the Inconnu...)

Dear Brothers,

Gratiano has been stopped before he could complete the ritual. However, I can not claim total victory. It seems that Gratiano's brother, Mauritano, had been hiding in the city as well. In the midst of the final battle he siezed the Last Daughter and disappeared. Gratiano escaped as well. What this means for the future of Lansing I can only guess. I am afraid we all must wait and see. I can tell you the fate of the chosen. Zebulon,(Death) upon the destruction of his fetters, entered oblivion. Hopefully he can finaly find his peace there. Matthew Walks to Moon, (War) Has Been Captured by Pentex. He has become aware now that he was used for evil and has entered Harano. Gutterball, (Pestilence) Has returned to the sewers, freed from his unwanted burden. He journeys now to put Lansing behind him forever. Famine has been destroyed. Out of the chosen, he was the most vile. He enjoyed in the removal of happiness from others. He was a lost cause and will not be missed. As for the city itself, Lansing seems to be slowly returning to normal. The Citizens In Action gang of hunters, led by brother William, lived up to their end of the bargain by eliminating those "L.A.R.P" fools. The State Of Emergency has been lifted and the National Guard sent away. With the campus clearing out of students for the summer, the remaining police should have no problems with vandals. Brother William has found out that Gratiano was controlling him this entire time. I am afraid this has only deepened his hatred of us. He will soon have to be dealt with regardless of his relationship to me. It seems that the scars Gratiano has left on this city will be long in healing. None have been hurt more than Carlos. The boy has lost his mentor and many friends only to be forced to sacrifice the child. How does he bare it? He must stay strong for it is written that his choices will shape the future of this city. After all it has suffered I would hate for it to fall to the Sabbat. Speaking of which, with the diffection of the Paladin, the Sabbat number only one pack. They too were forced to pay for their founder's mistakes. Yes, much healing must be done in this city before it faces it's next great challange. The turn of the millenium could still spell the end for us all. I shall continue to monitor the events in this city. Until August my brothers,

Carlos, a package will be sent to you at Deja Vu. (see Pyle for package and my downtime) I pray that this may help bring a swift end to our recent problems.

Jose: I have some information on Zebulon and will give it freely if you think it will help in the current situation. We should speak of it privately though, there have been many strange outsiders visiting our forum recently.

Le sigh. oh..and pants.

Perhaps I shouldn't be posting because it's out-of-character stuff, but then again, it does say MY name under name, so I'm really not being out-of-character. A suggestion first to the Storyteller Core. If you have such a problem with certain postings, then perhaps there are one or two things you can do about it instead of making idle threats. First off, maybe it's time to have TWO comment pages. One for specifically In-character only comments that could be more easily regulated by the storyteller core. Then a second page could be used for out-of-character posts, or post that YOU don't feel are relevant to the LARP. You really can't regulate what people say. This is a "PUBLIC" place. Anyone can surf on in and say their two cents worth. If you really are unhappy with it, then take it down. And it seems to me, that only one or two individuals have any such problem with the past postings. I agree with alot of stuff Kirk says, especially when he talks about dictatorship, which is something that up until now, the storyteller core has avoided, but I think the current actions about postings is crossing over the edge. Kudos to Joy for doing such a good job with the page. Really, she's the only one who can take it down and I think it would be a shame to take down such a good page over this stuff (need I mention the DI page??) And on a final note. You talk about wanting to make a good impression for White Wolf and bitch at players for being immature, then what the hell is the deal with calling a narrator "LARP Bitch" (sure, maybe it's a joke, but you're setting the precedence for further jokes and immature happenings). IF that's not childish and immature then I don't know what is. Kirk is right when he says that there is a certain amount of hypocricy in the Storyteller core. I guess the amount of maturity used to judge someone is completely abritary.

Whew!
Okay, just a quick response...the post said LARP relevant comments should be posted, not just in character stuff. As for the rest of your comments, I pretty much agree. Everybody, including my own spinny self, has posted some irrelevant comments, these things happen. I'm not ashamed of it. As for your comments yesterday, it really didn't bother me at all, so I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, I'm not against anyone but myself, so peace, or something.

I require information relating to one named Zebulon, also referred to as Death. Worthwhile information will be well-rewarded.

Ok. Here are some final comments for the LARP, the storytellers and the comment page.

1. The title of the page currently reads, "Comments and other assorted randomness" perhaps it should read "Comments posted only by the approval of the Storyteller Corps." (More on this later)

2. If no out of character comments are to be made than I hope the Storyteller Corp will keep this in mind and not use it for their own personal attacks on players, i.e. Ward, Nate, Pyle. Not only does this reflect poorly on the LARP and White Wolf, but it also makes each of you appear as hypocrites and I personally think more of each of you that this. This is not meant as a personal attack, I merely want each of you to look at some of your most recent postings.

3. If there are RULES for use of the comment page, perhaps THEY SHOULD BE POSTED. Preferrably before area where people write in the comments.

4. As it currently stands, this is still a comment page. You have no control, aside from shutting it down, as to what is actually posted here. Many will listen to you based on your strength of friendship, relationship and/or personal charisma. Perhaps a chatroom would be more appropriate for much of the banter that occurs here.

5. Although Joy has done a GREAT job with this web page, this really isn't a guest book nor has it ever been used merely as a guest book. We are using this as a forum to continue roleplay throughout the week. At least this is what the storyteller corps would like us to use it for. I personally disagree with the manner in which people have used this forum for all kinds of in-character (as well as out-of-character) BS yet are unwilling to roleplay with at the LARP.

6. The most recent series of comments between Erica and myself started as a result of commentary on this very web page. I believe these comments were relevant if not in the decorum that the storytellers would like to have had on their LARP's webpage. In a related note, Pyle has commented to me that he doesn't think certain subjects are appropriate in this forum. One such past incident, when someone questioned how to do paragraph breaks they were denied an answer. Even though the answer would have made the postings on this page more readable and enjoyable the poster was met with a "slapdown."

7. Regarding last night. I am very happy that the storytellers decided to give the opportunity for the players to express their grievances with the larp at the Blue Note Cafe last night. Since I sat on the sidelines last week and observed what was going on, I went to express my support for the storyteller corp. A lot of the complaints uttered in the LARP were baseless and without merit. I hope I communicated this to each of you.

8. Obviously, as storytellers you did not communicate with me how throughly disgusted you each were over the postings on this comment page. I hope in the future, you will talk to me when I am with you. I felt you guys blew me off to discuss your storyteller stuff. The next time you feel so strongly about an issue that directly addresses me, I hope you will DISCUSS it with me.

9. Many of the members of the storyteller corp. have played with me under a certain gamemaster who found it completely enjoyable to "spin" her players just for the sake of screwing them over. She made her players feel useless, and powerless to do anything in her game. They have created a powerful storyline that I'm sure many players are unable to cope with. That, of course, breeds frustration. Yet, they have not acted like the dictators that some past LARP storytellers have acted in and I hope they don't start now. I hope they will continue to accept the input from their players to impove this LARP and not become the dictators that have screwed us over in the past. The storytellers know which individuals and groups I refer to. No individual is perfect, not myself, not the storytellers, not the other players. We do have a common interest and it behooves everyone if we don't work together to improve it. So what I'm saying is we have a lot to learn from each other and a heavy handed approach only works for far. A velvet gloved approach to leadership will be appreciated from time to time.

10. If this comment section becomes one in which only roleplay is done. Fine, I'll accept that. If you want a little more maturity and decorum in out of character posts then that's fine. I've done my share of back-biting, sniping and petty insults with others. Some made in jest and some not. But so long as the comments on this page are related to the LARP, individual characters, plot, or suggestions even remotely related to the LARP then I think this is the appropriate forum. I would he happy to continue this privately via phone, email or in person, but I've said a lot here and the storytellers have forbidden this type of commentary. So I'll shut up....for now.

OK, I took out the spell-checker because it was doing something really bizarre, and everything should be working ok now :-). Sorry to anyone who had a post mangled or lost - that's part of the Wonderful World of Computers - and you'll have to repost. This was not a deliberate move on the part of the Storyteller Cabal. fnord!

This was a test of the spell-checker, but it's not working.

OK, first things first:
(Bear with me, I haven't been keeping up with the page like I should. The Pengie Mistress has been rather busy lately..)

1. I apologize for any problems with the page lately. We have recently switched servers, and some minor incompatibilities arose. Oops... but nothing serious, and we should have everything fixed now. If there is something wrong that you have noticed that hasn't been fixed yet, email me personally. I will get to it a LOT faster, since I check my email several times a day :-).

2. Go Storyteller Corps!! Give the flamin' bitches the smackdown!! I want to be able to show off this page in ongoing job searches, etc. It helps if it looks like you guys know what you're doing too :-). And can't we all just get along?

3. Would you guys prefer a frames or no-frames version of the page? Or would you like to choose? I'm thinking of revamping some stuff (I'm going to beat it with Pyle, or something) (Never mind that, too much cold medication) and I would like to know what you guys want. Again, email me personally about this. If you post your reply to the comment page, you're getting the Penguin Smack-Down.

That will be all. Thanks :-).

Jeez...

Now we are having a Flame war over Flame wars. We do not mind Flame wars as long as they are IN CHARACTER. The quality of this web site gives our LARP a good Impression. As a matter of fact, Pyle has E-Mailed several people from White Wolf inviting them to check out our site. Silly out of character comments about servers or MACs make a similar impression on our LARP as the RIOTS did for M.S.U. Next time you decide on placing a posting on this site, think on what kind of impression it would make on someone like Mark Rein-Hagan or Richard Dansky. We, The Storyteller Corps, have asked on many occasions to keep this site LARP related. We are now Requiring it. Keep this site LARP related or we will ask Joy to shut it down. No LARP comment page makes a better impression than a comment page filled with irrelevent comments. Thank you,

The StoryTeller Corps

But Nate, you DID bother to comment.....

You know, if I didn't know that this flame war was so far below me, I would bother to comment. But, since I realize that these childish pranks must go on amongst the little children, I will stand back and watch the proceedings with much amusement.

Now Erica...we're have to be punished. You will punish me won't you Dave? I know I've been "Naughty!" I definitely think a spanking is in order, don't you?

Seriously, if this is a FLAME WAR then you certainly haven't worked with computers long. This is pretty damn tame!

Besides if I really pissed Erica off, both you and I know that she would KICK MY ASS!

And pa-lease, there have been so many insults on this board that damn few are paying attention to them. It's just banter most of it's in character some of it out. And very little of it is meant to be serious.

Sure egos can get bruised but we ARE supposed to be adults here. I don't take it seriously when Ward is verbally "bitch-slappin" me or anyone else. I firmly believe that everyone, myself included, need a little humility lesson from time to time.

So in conclusion to my rant, SIT DOWN AND BUCKLE UP. IT'S GOING TO BE A BUMPY RIDE.

Now LARP Bitch, have you declared Marshall law on this web page?? No, I think not... and further more, Kirk and I are adult enough to know that we just fooling around with one another. If you want to ban me from this page for throwing around "insults" and "threats" then do so now or else I suggest you get used to it there SKIPPY!

....And, we all know how Kirk likes to push people to the edge to see how far they will take his verbal jabs and rapier wit. He's always gettin' goats when there's goats to get got.
NOT really a Flame War Advocate.....Flava'

How about NOT-so veiled threats and insults??
Skippy, you are a grade-A-spin and I will not hesitate to WHUP your sorry ass the next time I see you at LARP!! Okay, not really, but what's so bad about threats? Sure, it detracts from most people's enjoyment of the comment page and it is pointless, much like this little diatribe, but we "spin with love" around here. Sometimes people need a good kick in the keister.
Love, Da One and Only...Flava'

Ok, look. NO FLAME WARS ON THE COMMENT PAGE. Period. This was decreed long ago by the Pengie Mistress. Kirk and Erica, please just ignore each other or take it to email. This is no place for veiled threats and insults.

Now Kirk, you're stepping into dangerous territory here. Normally I'm quick to anger, but being pregnant and all... well, you'd just better watch it. There is nothing wrong with my computer and there's certainly nothing wrong with this "user". And to Scott, you can't come back as a legendary garou until you start dating your mom....

Watch it Scott. There are still a lot of people who are very familiar with another Garou named Drake that went Ronin and within weeks became a rank 5 leader of the pack.

And Erica, I'm not saying that Macs are better than IBMs but I'M not having any problems with the quotes. Maybe your browser isn't inferior, maybe its not your computer, perhaps its just the user.

*sigh* Jeez, I leave, and it all falls to chaos. Kirk was right. I'm not visiting my parents any more. And as a penalty for letting this all go to $h!t while I was away, I'm declaring myself RONIN, and I'll return when you can all behave. And to ensure that you STAY that way, upon my return, I will have achieved LEGENDARY status so I can whip you all into shape if you ever get out of hand again. Mind you, I do this all for the good of the larp. -Scott, the Glasswalker named Drake

That's not true, Jerk Head!! Ummmm...what's a short bus?

Of course Brak would like Macs!!! He rode the small bus when he was a kid!!!

I LIKE MACS!!

Inferior browser my ass! Next thing you know we're going to have to hear spoutings on how the MAC is so much better then a PC.... yeah, right *snicker*

I get a different quote every time I call up my bookmark. But I'm using Netscape, maybe others are using an inferior browser.

All hail the penguin mistress!

To anyone who that feels spelling is important please rember the I am playing a Bone gnawer and think why should and unschooled person know how to spell.

Hallalujah!!!!! I'm not insane! Thank you Dave... oh, and LARP Bitch, you can take your reload and well, you know what to do with it :P

By the way: Erica's right, the "Words of Wisdom" on the Main Page have been stuck for quite a while.

I say on with the plot, it's crunch time. I, for one, think what's happened is perfectly appropriate. Though, I have to conceed that matters are out of the player's hands at this time, tough shit. (oops... we're all adults here right?) Characters still have many choices on how they can handle this, though they might have to make some tough choices to do it.

To players who still feel they dont really have a part in things at this time: Sometimes you've just got to put your head down and let the artillery roll over your head. While it might not be the glorious thing to do, you might find something valuable down there in the dirt.

To Blade: I have found something you might be interested in, if you are still in the city. I will give it to you if you meet me at 8pm in our usual place.

The Son of Shadow will be taken down. I have pledged my unlife upon it. If any out there are still courageous enough to act against him I will meet you Saturday to tell you what I know.

Lansing is in trouble my friends, and I'm afraid it will take more than just a can of whoop ass to whip it back to shape. When it all comes crashing down around the Son of Shadow the ones who stood tall will inherit the next age. The rest, well, they'd better move to Pittsburgh.

Scott,

I guess you can't visit your parents anymore, you heared (or should I say read) Kirk. One week without a Glass Walker named Drake and everything goes to pot. Jeez...

Billy, please contact me.

Halleluah Pyle! Go tell it on the mountain.

I think the real problem was that Scott wasn't there. That's the real source of all your problems. Why don't you just forbid Scott from ever visiting his family. That should stop all the problems.

WANTED: 1 suit medieval platemail, blessed; 1 very large bladed weapon, blessed... Price is negotiable...

(Pyle steps up on a soap box)

Everyone:

This may take awile...

All complaints about the current plot line may be directed to the brick wall in the corner. I'm sick of the complaints on the plot. This is a WORLD OF DARKNESS game. Did I mention DARKNESS? If people want a shiney happy game I suggest "TOON". I'm sorry if people felt upset over the plot last saturday. Then again, NO I AM NOT! What did you few players (and you know who you are) who did nothing but whine and complaine all last week hope to achieve? Attention? All you did was distract other players from enjoying the game. So I get to spend most of last saturday fielding your complaints and complaints about you. Thanks A LOT! We have stated many times that if you have complaints about the storyline or storytellers please bring them up before or after larp so it will not affect game play. So now I am left with this question: What am I going to do about it? Well, I really don't know. The semester (and the current plot line) ends in 2 weeks so that alone will salve most of these disagreements. However, I feel something must be done so the situation does not get any worse. So I have come up with the following: 1) Any Person who has a complaint about any current plot line please be at the Blue Note Cafe Wednesday at 8:00pm to address the storytellers personnaly. 2)Any person who disrupts game play will be asked to leave for the evening (No warning) 3)Any person who disrupts game play will be subject to a 1 exp penalty, or, in severe cases, no exp awarded.

If anyone finds themselves upset at a current situation, try to role-play out of it. That is the nature of a Larp. If that does not work, please do not complain to everyone that walks by. All that does is piss other people off. Please think of how other people feel when you are complaining. Put yourself in their shoes. I am sure through comunication we can work all of this out and go back to the happy Larp that everybody wants. Remember, the semester ends in 2 weeks. Thank you once again...

(Pyle steps off soap box and walks away...)

You can order Hooked on Phonics for only 19.95. I think it's a good investment for some....

I learnt spoke english well.

Pissed Citizens:

Pissed citizens

To Pyle and Edmund:

Erica,

I still could use the templates. Thank you for finding them.

Pyle, I found the Master Templates for character sheets on my computer. Let me know if still want them please. Thanks:)

I wasn't aware that something was wrong with the comments. Try reloading the page every once in a while.. sometimes web browsers don't notice that an often-visited page has been updated. :)

For the Love of Bob will the Penguin Mistress please fix the comments. I'm really tired of seeing the same comment, day in and day out.

Gee Scott, and when I was about to KILL Drake, you have to go and not play this weekend. Where can I go? What will I do? I know! I'll go find that furry changeling and kick his @$$! Yea! (pooka)

Gosh! What will we ever do without a Glass Walker named Drake? How can we go on? I might have to cancel this weekends L.A.R.P. because all plots must revolve around such a powerfull entity! Please, everyone, don't panic. I'm sure the story teller core can think of SOMETHING to do this Saturday...(MOCK)

Men can be so complicated sometimes. When I say Horseback Riding for the next LARP outing, if you look, that would be in JUNE!!!! (Pyle's got something planned for May already) I won't be pregnant in June. Geesh...

Well, actually, I was just gunna post this as soon as I got back from class, actually... I'm not going to be at LARP on Saturday (or Brass Dragons on Friday for that matter) since I'm going home for the weekend. It's my dad's birthday, and he's not really giving me much of a choice in the matter of whether or not I care to visit him. *shrug* oh well, ya do what you gotta do, ya know? I'll drop it off with Nate, though, and I'll see if he can get it to you. Sorry Mike, and sorry everyone else.

yo scott! :D can you bring my laws of the wild to the game saturday? pwease?! thx bud mike

Erica, you can't BOWL pregnant, but you can ride horses? ... I will NEVER understand women as long as I live.... *shakes head*

To all those that fight the War of Apocolypse, I call you Brother. To all those that fight the Wyrm, I call you Brother. To the Guardian of the Tear of Gaia, I call you Brother. I call all my Brothers to me to serve Gaia as she has bade me to do. I call all my Brothers to me to War upon those that would see the Garou destroyed in the Apocolypse!!

Oh, sure, the blood-suckers get Lansing, and the whiney-dogs get East Lansing; but what do the fae get? A crummy bar and a garden! Well, no longer: I hereby declare that the Shadowlands are under the control and protection of the Changelings! *puts a small cocktail flag in a pile of rubble* Congratulations, Baron!

Everyone:

And while i don't have an idea for plan B on Saturday I thought of a really good idea for a future LARP outing. Sometime after May, the LARP should take a trip down to Sundance and do some horseback riding!!!

:( Pregnant women can't bowl...not good... and i don't know if a Laser Tag vest will fit... ummm... but since the whole LARP isn't pregnant (thank god!) I'll go with what the group wants to do, but please think of the really round woman!!!

Everyone:

Just thought i'd let this info out for any interested parties. I e-mailed White Wolf to find out about some rumors I had heard and this was the response: Rumor #1: The next major Wraith book due out is /Wraith: The Great War/, the historical Wraith game, whose setting is post-WWI, not WWII. It hits stores in May (see the email about its release that I've pasted to the end of this message). Rumor #2: The next Wraith book after /W:TGW/ arrives this fall. It's called /The Ends of Empire/, and it'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the Mnemoi Guild and Ferrymen...and more besides. Rumor #3: The fate of Wraith thereafter is undecided. Ask me again after we see how the two aforementioned volumes do... In addition, if you're a wraith freak like I am (no mocking okay, especially from the blood-sucking meeting freaks) you may be interested in the below info: Kindly alert your friends, relatives, fellow gamers and any of the recently (or not-so-recently) departed whom you happen to be chummy with that an autographing for /Wraith: The Great War/ will occur Wednesday, May 5, from 6PM until 9PM, at Oxford Comics in Atlanta, Georgia. So far, persons committed to attend are Rich Dansky, Jim Moore, Tara and John Maurer, and yours truly. I await word from other authors, though I know already that most out-of-towners will expressly /not/ be present. More on this front as I know it. Folks interested in reserving a copy long distance can do so by mailing a check for $25.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling to: Ms. Hart Chamberlin Manager Oxford Comics Shop 2855 Piedmont Rd. Atlanta, GA 30305 Be sure to include a note that tells Hart what the check is for, plus whether you want your copy personalized (and if so, precisely how). For additional copies, it's $1.00 for each book after the first. Also, Georgia residents need to include sales tax (which brings the total for each book to $27.77). If you have questions about the purchasing end of the procedure, you can call Hart Chamberlin at: 404/233.8682

Everyone:
