The new pictures are finally up. Most of them, at least. :) I'll be putting up the old pictures and the group new ones as soon as I get the chance.

LARP terms - Sit and Spin: While being spun, what players do when they need to rest from a standing position.

Shadow Lord, you seem to want to hunt me now, do you know what happens to people who hunt the hunter? You will die my son, so if i were you i would start hiding cause the Windigo and I have just desclared open season on you. You ass is mine, so prepare for war. MARTEL

Alright that's it. Shits gone down, and someone's gonna fucking pay for it! Jack Webb is dead, killed by the wyrm, whatever the fuck that is. You have no goddamn idea how fucking pissed this makes me. All you wyrmy creatures are gonna die slow and painful like now! No one, and I mean NO ONE, kills Jack Webb except the fucking fae! You know how much work its gonna take us to bring him back again? And I know the little ingrate is gonna whine in that annoying voice of his about how he doesn't wanna be a boggan, how he a proud warrior of gaia and fucks trees or whatever, and we're going to have to put up with it. Next week, your asses are mine...

If the Cup of Ramses is not returned to the Elysium by whoever has it the next time the vampires meet, the number of supernaturals will start to steadily decrease.

In much the same manner as the rule stating "Players may not bring weapon props" the below is a *player* contract. I guess that means that Skippy had better stick to storytelling. The storyteller contract is different and much less restrictive... but it doesn't pay any better.

Man, I don't have any Spam...I'm spun for sure now!

Does that mean Skippy isn't aloowed at LARP anymore because he is by definition a powered catfish?

I the undersigned (hanceforth known as player) and the Storyteller Corps (henceforth known as the Storyteller Corps)do herefore and forthwith enter into the express contract written below.

1)The player agrees not to bring powdered catfish, taters, squirrels, pants, Folgers Coffee, dead cats, goldfish, casette tapes, red pens, live plants, or any other object which might cause the Storyteller Corps to throw up.

2) The player has an inalienable right to breathe, knock their head into the pipes, post trash talk on the Message Board, put people in wresling holds, mock each other and... oh shit, I dont want to give the whole thing away!

Bring two pens now that I'm thinking about it... and some spam.

Like you EVER forget you powdered catfish!

Oh, yeah. THAT'S why I hate you guys. NOW I remember.

Run Skippy! RUN!!!

Woo-Hoo!!! I repent for the frogs...but boy...what fun! Come over here Skippy!

Yeah, skippys, being an unholy hybrid of powdered catfish and bowlegged women named betty, don't fall with the provence of karma. Do whatever ya want with 'em.

Ward- since we no longer have a resident John, Jeremy and I should be able to take you in. I'll email you in a bit...

John- I was worried about the relative safety of the slip n' slide thing, but I see now that you have it wholly under your control. And I would have to agree with Erica about the frog noise, only louder. I must also remonstrate that we, as responsible earth-loving pagans, should never be so cruel to those poor frogs. Skippys, on the other hand, are apparently Fair Game.

Ever hear what a small frog sounds like when thrown off the roof of a trailer and then hits the ground?? I think that's pretty close!

so Scott Thom and I were discussing this in Meijer while looking for beef jerky at 1:30 this morning, and we decided that we needed outside aid in resolving the issue. Suppose, hypothetically, that you had a 20 ft. slip n' slide coated in jello, terminating in a wall. Now suppose that you had a skippy, loaded of white russians, naked, and coated in baby oil. Assuming skippy had achieved a velocity of 4.3m/s at the point of terminus, what sort of sound would he make at impact? Would it be more or a wham, a splut, or something else?

*blink blink*...

Are you guys *serious* about this contract thingy?? I think Mike's right... you guys should post it ahead of time for everyone to preview so it's not a surprise to everyone on Saturday.

WarD!YAY!!! I'd offer you the chance to stay here, but we have a pet Texan living with us right now... and I don't think you'll fit in the crib... I'm sure someone with take ya in! Teehee!! You won't get to see Fiona (only 1 n) because Mommy and Daddy Conley are getting a baby break this weekend! YAY! And Hippy...next time you call... leave your number dumb ass!

When I get down there...god willing, I would like to see as many people as I can. I should be arriving sometime friday afternoon, I'll find someplace to stay, hopefully...I know enough people down there, right? But you Conley's have a child and everyone else has moved around and I'm not sure where Pyle is going to be, and the streets of East Lansing are ever-so chilly this time of year...oh well. I should be there Saturday night and will probably be leaving sometime Sunday afternoon.I want to stop by and see how the Larp is doing, but I don't know if I'll play anything more than a spinny NPC, or how long I'll stay.
So, yes, Erica...I will visit you as soon as I can...and Aaron, and Fiona/Fionna (1 "n" or 2?), and Pyle and Mike and Skippy and Joy and whoever else I haven't mentioned, but you know...I love you all.
I haven't dropped of the earth, just had life made interesting with retail holiday work, a girlfriend, and a boat-load of sorrow stemming from multiple friends' funerals.
On an actual gaming note, did anyone get sign up forms for Gen-Con or Origins yet? I'm expecting mine sometime soon. Hell, I went to Gen-Con..1,2,3,4.....7! years ago and they're still sending me shit. I'd be interseted in going this year, of course I'll probably end up getting another allergy attack and lapse into a drug-induced coma for another 67 hours.
But I digress far to much, brcause only a fraction of you people here have any idea what I'm talking about. Enough rambling.
Love, Ward "I am so smart, I am so smart...S-M-R-T...I mean S-M-A-R-T" Donovan

Dave...umm... I knew that really... I did! My brain is broken... to bad they don't have Tech support for that!

Yeah, I know Origins is cheaper, but Robert Anton Wilson and Yoshitako Amano are going to be at DragonCon... along with pretty much the entire White Wolf development staff. But I will probably be too broke to do much more than sit around home and eat ramen, much less go to Cons. So moot point. ;-)

Actually, Origins is in Ohio, and GenCon is in Wisconsin. :)

Joy! GenCon is around the same time! I'm not sure of the exact dates but I think it starts around July 1st. It's a really fun Con and it's not to-to expenisve and it's closer (Ohio). Just thought it might be a cool and less expensive alternative to Dragon Con.

Just wondering if anyone wanted to go to DragonCon this year? It's in Atlanta, GA and goes from June 29th - July 2nd. I don't even know for sure if I will be planning on it (it's expensive, but the con looks worth it), but it might be a cool thing to do.

Check out http://www.dragoncon.org for details.

Hey Dave, you wouldn't mind posting a copy or preview of this contract on the page so we can take a gander at it before signing?

Things I learned at CONfusion:

Tune in next week, when Skippy's head implodes after yet another person calls him a powdered catfish.

I apologize to those who arrived *late* and found nobody at the fortress. Enough storytellers did hang around though to run the game if people showed up on time. We got three players. Kevin wanted to close up early. We hung around as long as we could but frankly it wouldn't have been fair to the majority of LARP players to hold a "tiny LARP" and then expect them to catch up the next week with whatever happened while they are gone. I honestly thought we'd get at least 10 or so players. Remember, the LARP starts at 7pm and there WILL be a LARP next week. All the activities that kept people away last week were legit excuses and I hope everyone had fun at CONfusion and LarryCON.

P.S. If nobody shows next week you'll find me at DrinkaCON getting blitzed.

P.P.S Contracts stating the rights and responsibilities of LARP players will be at the next LARP for all your signatures. Please bring a pen.

Flava Unit! Not all of us LARP you know... those of us with small children to tend to (that rules out alot of people!) still want to see you!! I thought perhaps you had discovered the earth was really flat and then promptly fell off of it. Don't forget us non-LARPers!! :)

So, there IS a LARP this weekend, right? Not that anyone cares, but I might stop by. Yeah, okay...I'll let everyone get back to whatever it was they were doing. I just didn't want to drive two hours on the arctic tundra that is I-69...nevermind.
Love, Ward "Menengicoccal Whore" Donovan

Kirk... I meant Kirk. My bad....

You brought up a good point Kurt. However, Kevin(the guy running Fortress that night) didn't know the game was cancelled until around 7:30PM.

Hey all! Just wanted to thank all those who went to ConFusion for making it the fun time that it was (and next year, we're having a Jello-themed jacuzzi party - Whee!)

Even though I was LARP-free for the duration of the con, others had fun (thanks Seth!) and it was great to spend time with people I don't see much of outside LARP. And even those that I see a lot of. (Goddamit, Skippy! Do I need to get a restraining order?)

Things I learned this weekend-

1.) Skippy snores. But not, as I originally thought, like a dead cow. I was wrong in that respect. Like a powdered catfish.

2.) Bela Lugosi's dead, but Peter Murphy is still alive and angsty.

3.) Don't wear a short skirt in subzero temperatures.

4.) Southern Comfort, bad Sangria, After Shock, and Vanilla Porter Don't Mix.

5.) Nerds and Goths are NOT two sides of the same coin, but apparently, I'm both.

Hey guys, Here's a suggestion. Before walking through the freezing tundra of East Lansing or driving great distances, call the Fortress to find out the status of the LARP. It's great that some are so dedicated to the game and that they have a strong sense of loyalty to the LARP. Good luck and hope people enjoy themselves at the LARP. Kirk

It's not often that I write here, but I kinda feel like voicing my opinion. I have been a sit down and a LARP storyteller for a long time. Although my time as both seems to be winding down as my family grows I have some thoughts on the philosophy seperating the distinctly different expectations regarding the dynamic of players and storytellers in Sit-Down and LARP. In Sit-Down a ST looks upon his game as a precious little jewel with each character fulfilling major roles within it. MOre to the point, however, the ST alone is responsible for the meat of the game and if players are not going to show up the precision of that game can be thrown into a tailspin. In short Sit Down players, by agreeing to show up, have bonded themselves into an unwritten contract to be there. In LARP the ST is providing a service that is open to all, but obligitory to none. He opens shop and hopes that all who were there last week will be there this week plus some. However, aware of the realities of LARP the story is tailored loose in case his attendance shrinks or grows considerably. Sometimes there are not enough people to realistically play, but hey, that's LARP. The players owe the Storytellers nothing. LARP STs are (or should be) prepared for a low or no show. Likewise LARP players should be prepared to deal with this natural LARP hazard.

I didn't mean for it to sound as though I were telling you when to schedule your movie marathon. I was merely trying to convey the fact that there was no concrete communication between the large number of people that were not going to attend the game and the storytellers. Secondly, my LotN is locked in a safety deposit box(If you can't tell I'm joking, please strengthen the gene pool by removing yourself from existence.), and its only uphill returning from Fortress.

Well its no big deal, i just hope ill see you all next week. See ya Any more vamps was take on Martel?? I think this might be a point for you leechs to stay the hell out of my way, and my affairs or ill just pile yer bodies up 1 by 1 tilli have a house to live in.

Adam, what I and my friends choose to do is none of your bloody business, get it? I'm sorry that you had to walk in cold temps, uphill both ways and that you had to kill a bear with your copy of Laws of the Night, but don't tell me when I should have my get-togethers.

Ok, this whinning has to stop. I am sorry that people were spun but life goes on. Could there have been better communication, maybe. However, bitching about it after the fact makes you look pouty. The stroytellers tryed to have LARP, it is not their fault no one showed. Three people is hardly enough to run a table top game, let alone a LARP. So let us put this chapter behind us and go on, shall we. Oh, and Adam, notice that my name is below.

Here's a shock to whoever is to chicken to post their name, I do know life doesn't revolve around the game. I've got 16 credit hours(one of which is a 400 level class) to worry about in addition to several other things. However, when a myriad of people decide to not go, one of the people in that group should take the 2 minutes to E-mail one of the ST's so they could decide whether to cancel the game. It would have saved me the 20 minute walk in 15 degree weather and Mark a 2 hour drive. This is known as a courtesy, like signing your name after posting on the board.

Jim's bachelor party??? Beh!!! Wow, anyways, there's a good chance I'll be down to E.L. next weekend, I'm really trying, I promise. To those of you I know, I hope to see you sometime soon, to those of you I don't, go about your civilian duties quietly.
Love, Ward "Ahh..they'll never know the joy of watching a monkey-knife fight" Donovan

Adam... I have news for you buddy. Life doesn't revolve around LARP. People had other things to do this weekend. Get over it. The Red Dwarf Marathon could not have been done pre or post game because of the nature... hence it was a "marathon". I'm sorry Mark had to drive 2 hours... but to you Adam... LARP is not Life!

I knew of 4 people(as of last Saturday) that were going to Confusion(this number obviously went up) and one that was going to Larry's AD&D game. The Red Dwarf marathon(which could have been done pre or post game...) and Jim's bachelor party were not discussed AT ALL at one of the tables. Actually, the ST's, aside from Skippy, apparently thought there'd be enough for a game, seeing as Dave, Blodgett, and Jordan went to Fortress.

I just like to say in defence of the story tellers it was made well aware last week the the majority of the players would not be here this week. Most of the group went to Confusion. Seth made an announcement about the Larp he was running there. Even at Theios it was discussed; between the Red Dwarf fest, "LarryCon", ConFusion, and Jim Mcqueen's bachelor party it was pretty easy to figure out that no one was going to be there this week... Guess the moral of the story is pay attention to what is going on around you.

Thanks for canceling larp, i drove 2 hours to it and it was not there so i got to dirve 2 hours back, great communication here

What an awesome game it was tonight! ... Oh wait, there wasn't one *sigh*.

Um... I was wondering.... Does anyone know when the new pics are gonna be up on the pic page? Cos, well... um... Pyle the Vampire Lord is now a Garou and stuff... and ... ::slinks back to m'corner of the computer::

Its the STORYTELLERS!!!! *mob combat challenge card*

TREEBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the rat, lynch him!!!

Kastor, you know me, in fact you all do...I'm someone very close to you all...someone you call a friend. :) Have a nice night...

Whoever you are, servant of the Wyrm, I suggest you listen to Mr. Wyrmfoe and Corbitt. The Garou's eternal enemy has never been able to establish a permanent presence in this city, and I doubt you will change that. Alpha Wyrmfoe, I will gladly aid you in any actions you and your pack/freehold take against this entity.

Corbitt, I'll give you the fact that some of my predecessors have had a "lack of vision" when dealing with you and your so-called friends. However, I warn you, do not judge me based on this. Perhaps the reminder of the tainted balefire will serve as a warning. We shall see who comes out of this on the top....

Jason, yes, I know what you are. A bit of advise...perhaps you should not be so quick as to dismiss me. You may think me incompetant and a "stupid drooling chest thumper", yet I think that you will soon think otherwise. Perhaps you too have forgotten the "caern/freehold" tree. You prove over and over the flaw of "Gaia's" warrior's...You are blind and attack those that you don't understand...much like in the War of Rage if I remember when the Garou attempted to wipe out all other shifters because they saw themselves as the "chosen". We shall see....

Ok Darth Stupid. I am a Phildox. Do you know what that means? Basicaly I am a prettg good judge of character... So what you have taken for "Hate" is just a statement of fact. I have no emotions toward you what-so-ever... well, maybe a little pitty. Have your little hive, we didnt want the area anyway. Okemos is just full of a bunch of rich sissy Abromby and Fitch types anyways, have it.

Oh, so now you're going to make silly "I'm a badass" threats? *snort* we'll, the "I'm the uber-cool leader of EEEVVVIILL" tact just made you look silly; unfortunately for your ugly ass, this new tact seems just as dumb. "wanna play it hard?" what the hell does that mean? Have you ever been in a fight before, fungus dick? There's no such thing as "playing it hard" or "playing it soft"; either I kill you or you kill me, and given your kinds track record against mine and against this city as a whole, I'm places all my money on the former.

Your hate has made you strong! Soon, you will stand along side me brother. And, as for you Corbitt, you wanna play it soft, I'll play it soft...wanna play it hard, we'll play it hard...

I cant believe even Black spirals are this stupid. In one post you brag about killing Jack Webb and then in the next you act like it is some great mystery what happened to him. Brillant scare tacktic, you JACK ASS! As Corbitt said, Jack Webb wasnt that much of a fighter. Not to mention the fact, the man was altra depressed lately. Probably looking for death anytway. You remind me of that 18 year old guy in Junior High who couldnt get pass 6th grade. You know the one... The guy who would brag he was such a bad ass 'cause he stole 5th graders lunch money. The truth is he couldnt count to 5 or read a "Dick/Jane" book. Of course' he is an Albert Einstien compared to you guys but it was the stupidist thing I could think, next to Black Spirals. Why... your typical Drooling Chest Thumper would be idolized as a GOD for you people... Oh! too late, it already is.... (See Wyrm) You know why they call it the Wyrm? Because it's face looks like it's ass and it knows if it ever crawled out from under the dirt a real animal would kill it and feed it to it's young. So in closing, Fuck you....

You know, its fucking funny. Every single dipshit who tries to fuck with us pulls this "you obviously know nothing" schtick. What makes it really goddamn hilarious is the fact that despite the fact that we've seemed to know nothing a lot in the past, the people who claim to know always end up dead while we stay alive. As for Jack, we saw him Saturday which is recently enough for me. The guy's a dweeb. Trust me, you're not a particular badass if you can take Jack Webb down. We did it twice, and both times the person who did most of the work was a fucking POOKA! So don't act like you're mister big dick if you actually managed to kill Jack Webb. Given what a gibbering idiot you've proven yourself to be in the last couple of posts, I'd actually be rather suprised if you're doing more than blowing hot air outta your ass.

Right, well obviously you know even less than I gave you credit for. By the way, when IS the last time you have seen your friend Jack? hmmm, been awhile hasn't it. Interesting. And as for the cub, well she is in the right hands...

All hail the Corbitt....

Alright fuck head, now you pissed me off. You did SHIT to cut of Jack Webb's head. We did that all by our lonesome selves; not only that, but we fucked him in the goat ass AGAIN when he was a vampire. So, you pathetic little cheese-dick, quit pretending that you've actually done squat. As for the unseelie, I am an unseelie, and not to fuck your pathetic little delusion, but we think as little of you as we do the sidhe. I've personally killed several of your kind, and man were they tasty. As for you drooling chest thumper of a god, I find him equally pathetic. "Oh look at me, I'm the wyrm! I'm so evvviillll! fear me, fear me!" Yeah right. Oh look, who's got the metis cub now? That's right, someone other than the wyrm. So here's an idea: why don't you take that 1/2 inch wart you call a dick, put it between your legs, and head for the hills. Cause if I have to come talk to you personally, you vaginal blood fart, you ain't gonna like it.

I suggest you not leave the Ahroun alone. He is rather young and quite... well, stupid. I wouldn't put it past a vampire to be able to defeat such a opponent. What part of his body should we send to you after the evisceration? Perhaps you can hide behind the fae till their Unseelie friends decide to make an appearance?

Ah, so you take over an abandon Caern and form another hive and all of a sudden your a bad ass? That is kind of like the Cleveland Browns braggin about there 1 one this year. Have you forgoten that in the past year alone we have driven out King Brewery, Red Star Automotive and defeat about 2 dozen Black Spirals? All with a Garou population that never got above 5! So, am I supposed to be shakin in my boats at this latest feeble threat? Sorry, aint going to happin. The way I figure it, it is almost unfair that we have two Garou to take on this hive. I think I will let Martel handle you and just take the weekend off. If there is anything left by the time he is done, I will clean up the pieces...

Hey all you Garou! Ever get tired of fighting the losing battle? Ever get sick of serving the one responsible for causing this whole war? Well, then come over to the side that has the morals. The side that really understands what we really are. Come on down to the local hive and become a brother in arms. All applications will be accepted. Remember, the Wyrm is an equal opportunity employer. :D

Jason, see, I think you are gravley mistaken. We have never been driven back from Lansing. I think that you will find it alot more difficult now that we have made some accomplishments in the area now. I couldn't help but laugh as Jack was relieved of the wieght of his head. If I can take down one of such Rank, than, you my friend, may want to rethink your position. Don't forget, the Wyrm is a loving father...unlike Gaia...

Pyle, Just because you're a computer Tech support employee doesn't mean you know anything about them!!! That's why you have to be *trained*... :P (we love you!)

I'll have you know that was a Netscape error, not me! I am a computer tech now, BLA!

OK, people, only hit the submit button once. Just once. Even if you don't think your comment is showing up. (This isn't a direct slam of Jason WyrmFoe, just a reminder to everyone.)

Liston, I dont know who you are and I really dont care. The fact of the matter is Whenever the wyrm has tried to strike at Lansing they have benn driven back. Sooner or later you will be defeated as well. Perhaps you should save yourself some trouble and just leave Lansing alone? If you decide to stay, we will meet soon enough. Enjoy your stay for the time being...

Oh where, oh where, has my little cup gone? Oh where, oh where can it be? (I would go on with the description, but since I was out of town when it was so unceremoniously STOLEN, I have no clue as to what it looks like, DAMN IT!!!! I want my freakin cup back!! Dont make me get REALLY mad here.. Just return the cup, and no questions will be asked. None at all.

Sarah

I'd like to thank the garou for all their assistance. I'd also like to thank Kafir for his assistance as well. Bye bye

Silence, contact me. We spoke over the mortals' holidays.

Having trouble with crime? Tired of all the B.S. of other security systems? Well your in Luck! The C.G.C.C. is proud to present it's fool-proof security system. Heres how it works. The area in question is surronded by a wooded area. Then a powerfull Oath is laid on the area. To get by, a potential crook must swear never to harm the area! It's amazing! If, for some chance, the crook is dishonest and breaks the oath, well then it gets ugly! The crook must buy a new bed every two days! But hold on, you are in luck! The C.G.C.C. Security INC. now offers 100% nature made Hammocks in case such a thing was to happen. Act now and we will throw in another oath for free! What are you waiting for? Act now!!!

WHERE IS MY FREAKIN CUP?? Someone brings me a cup that belonged to Ramses the III and it gets stolen?! I didnt even get to see the damn thing!! Take one night off for vacation, and hell breaks loose in Lansing over a FREAKIN CUP!!! Malcolm, please get in touch with me at the email address listed? I want this cup FOUND!

Sarah

I agree with Malcom, teams of equal size only. Here is the C.G.C.C. team so far: Corbitt can Ref, Tree-A-Nator at QB, Squirel at wide out, Martel will play line, and I shall play running back. The boggins will clean up the field... So Team Angst needs at least four players, can ya manage? See you tonight!

just got the e-mail. I'm in for football, one catch - teams of equal size (as in numbers) only. Don't you think it's degrading that it's going to take 15 of you to beat up 3 angsty vamps?

Your right Corbitt, I'm calm. It is just only two of them have the balls to step out of a meeting for 1 hour and play a friendly game of football! Jesus! I thought this would be a good way to keep the peace amongst us. Anyway, it was just good natured trash talking to get more Vamps to play!

Jesus Christ Jason, calm down man. Its a game, just a game...here. *gives jason a chew toy*. remember, nice deep breaths....

I just wanted to make sure that the slaughter was still set for later this evening? You all have not decided to run and play with your blood dollies? No one would think any less of you; it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to think any LESS of you than we already do! If you do show up I hope you remember to each bring a nice shiney tray... Because after the C.G.C.C. hands you your ASS you will need some place to put it! Later chumps...

Yes Sir...

I'll show you some respect, you little shit. Come over here where I can kick you in your pathetic little groin. You boggans are good for cooking and cleaning. I'm good at killing and maiming. You don't see me whining my oh-so-hot ass off about people not appreciating my medium of expression, do you ya little fuck? Just remember you skull-fucking pederast, we got a hungry dragon in the basement with a special taste for a certain kith. Now shut the fuck up and make me dinner.

We Bogins are sick of being sooo misstreated. So we enjoy cleaning up! So What! Do you people REALLY like living in such a mess? Now we are being told to paint a football field for some silly game. When will you people grow up? This is serious buisness. Start treating us with some respect! JEEZ!

Elk Pooka? What the @#$%$??!! As if we need that! I think not! Hmm, I think I have a plan up my sleeve that the rest of the Vampires will like. As for the boggins.. just make sure that they stay off the field during play? Remember, the field gets painted BEFORE.. not during the game...

Kafir, perhaps you could provide the Vampires with some of your Crack Force mercenaries that were so helpful against The Stigmata priests. As for the Bogins, I am afraid that we had them already assigned as the field crew, someone has to paint the field. Whomever you get will stand no chance against our secret weapon, The Tree-a-Nator, Doug! Good Luck gentleman...

Rob Zombie and Moby were the only thing that kept us from falling asleep at the wheel and dying horribly. God bless that evil, angry music...

I just wanted to thank those of you who mocked Nokomis (you know who you are). I've been in this larp since September and this is the first time I've been mocked. I finally feel like I'm truly a part of the group! I feel loved! Thank you, guys! BTW, how was your drive back to East Lansing gentlemen? : )

I'm in for the Granny Bowl, can you play with three teams? Are the Sabbat and Camarilla allowed on the same team? Nah, they're probably too uptight.

It would be unfair if we had 15 players on our team? What, were you planning on fielding 20? As for people not volunteering for our team... ARE YOU KINDRED WHO'VE DECIDED NOT TO PLAY A BUNCH OF CHICKENSHITS? Oh... and we DO NOT want the Elk pooka.

Hell no we ain't giving them our fucking boggans! Boggans are a part of the fae, a living embodiment of the dreams of humanity. To have them allied with the undead would be antithetical to the very nature of who we are! Well, that and I might get hungry during the game and its typically a 15 yard penalty to eat a member of the *opposing* team...

Well, so far we have the C.G.C.C. VS. Two Vampires. Not exactly fair oods. (Not that the game would be fair even if it was 15 Vampires) So to even things up a bit Iam willing to give you guys the Elk Pooka. He is a fierce warrior who will serve your cause well. Get back to us with your response. If you need more help we might be able to spare some Bogins. Until Saturday,

Well.... Sounds interesting. I unfortunately will not be able to participate in any of the actual game, but I would be honored if I would be allowed to watch this event, and of course cater to whatever the participants need, I am here but to serve and as such if there is anything that any of the groups involved need, please feel free to ask. I wish you all the best of luck in this event.

Good point, Corbitt.

Yeah, but can you lick yourself? That's really the question. I mean, lets face it, it doesn't matter if you got a 2 inch dick, if you can give yourself head, it really doesn't matter.

I suppose I can reconsider my statement from earlier. I will participate in this game. As for trash talking, I will not lower myself to the level of an obviously non-well endowed, insecure puppy. Evenin'....

What like the angsty bowl? How about the "oh the world is so sad I think I'll drink people's blood and move really quickly" bowl. As for granny, don't mess with her...just ask Steve. Anyway, to drum up interest in the bowl, I hereby offer the following incentive. The person awarded MVP of the game shall become pregnant via changeling magick and give birth several months later. NOTE: no guarantees on the latter part; one never knows about that...oh wait, we weren't supposed to talk about that...my bad.

Granny Bowl? Im sure that the Vampires could have at least thought of something better to name it, something more suited to our abilities. Are you trying to tell us that you are getting old and decrepid? I think that a little game of football.. could indeed be interesting. Will the wolfies be rushing as per regular rules, or in their normal packs? Also, dont bother bringing snacks for us... I think that there will be more than enough provided already.

Of course we would be able to take our forms of war, are you daft? Did I not say ALL supernatural abbilities or did I say all supernatural abilities minus the form of war. The challange has been layed down, it is not mortal combat, it is a football game. Vampires have more than enough abilities to match up against us, do not be a coward. If you are frightened, perhaps I could arange a game with the Lansing School of the Blind. If you are lucky, you may be able to mate with their females! Let the trash talking Commence!

No, he's got other purposes...he's also the minister of angst, the minister of skull fucking the sidhe, the assistant minister of satanism (the head minister's a guy named Eric) and minister of the drooling chest thumpers...he's a busy man.

Ah, yes, more true cowards(The Minister of War) who will not identify themselves. I am more than willing to settle whatever dispute you have with me, although I was unaware as to whatever problems I may have instigated since my arrival in Michigan.Mr. Minister, if your sole purpose is to antagonize the supernatural citizens of Lansing, find another dwelling.

Da Spinfactor deels anutter dev-o-stating bow!!! Yooods gots ta rebember dat. She aint got many of dem left in hers.

Hey Kastor maybe it's not the wolfies you need to worry about.

cactaur or chompy? How can I choose?

I apologize for my tardy response, Mr. Wyrmfoe. I would be happy to participate in your game. Also, you mention that our various races' abilities will not be banned from the game, are you sure you want to allow this? Does this mean the werewolves will be allowed to assume their battle forms? If it does, I will not participate.

I see that none of the Vampires has responded to our challenge to the "Granny Bowl". Perhaps this is wise. It is plainly obvious that you would all be stomped into oblivion at the hands of the C.G.C.C. There is no loss of honor when faced with impossible odds. Perhaps we can find a replacement with a better chance of victory, say like a team of drooling chest-thumpers. If you cowards change your mind, the invation is still open. Have a nice day,

If you play chompy......no cactaur for you....

I don't know what your talking about. I just wanna play chompy...

oohhh John. Was that a subtle *snicker* *snicker* slam on the storytellers allowing "Kindred of the Least" into the game??

I hereby propose that we begin allowing Rokea into the game. They obviously would fit naturally into the geographic area of Lansing, and are a well thought out race with many role-playing options. If Rokea are allowed, I would like to be granted permission to play chompy, the german nihilist performance artist rokea. Thank you.

Hey, does anyone know if there is such a flaw as split personality? If so, could you please e-mail me with info such as how many points you can get from it? I don't see it in the new laws. Thanks and see you on Saturday.

I would like everyone to note that while Kindred of the East is available for sale now characters are not allowed to be created from it at the present time. We are currently reviewing options for use of this and the other unused or currently banned character types and how they might fit into the chronicle.

We here at the Changeling/Garou Communist communion would like to challenge the Vampire community to the first ever "Granny Bowl". This will be a way for us to take out some differences and aggressions against ourselves in a civilized manor; By beating the pants out of each other in a "All supernatural abilities are legal" tackle football game! This Saturday, Sexton High School Stadium, 9:00pm: Be there, or be hunted! (Official NCAA rules will be followed, referees will be provided by the C.G.C.C.)

That's it you're all dead! Grug was my friend!!! Grug was my friend!! Oh the humanity!!

Me Grug dead.

I have some very bad news. The people on this web page are all spins. Please don't mention this in my presence as I will haul off and knock you on yer ass because I am so sensitive about it.

YES! My wish for an invincible opponent for the Lupines has been granted. I knew Pentex was powerful, but after reading "Subsidiaries: A Guide to Pentex", I was thoroughly impressed at how powerful it was. Should the Wyrm decide to go offensive, the Lupines are screwed... WOOHOO!!!

In happy news, Dave Skipford Jahosiphat Crampton has been brutally, mercilessly, and artistically beheaded by a little girl, wielding a pair of pants. Near his remains, several potatoes and salted peanuts were found, spelling out the word "MOCK". Witnesses say that somehow being able to continue speaking after the beheading, Mr. Crampton's head kept utterring the word "damnit". Also, several squirrels were seen what appeared to be dancing....

Um, ok.

I am, like, so mad right now you can not believe it! Grug was SOOOO fine! I mean, HELLO! and poor little Vincy, he was such a cutey. Were was I? Oh yeah! I will have you know that me and the girls dont like this one bit. We are going to do some serious shopping in Grug's memory. Take that!

On a side note, Vincent, Grug's brother, gained far too much Angst to be a werewolf any longer. He was Embraced, became an Abomination, was able to utter "woe is me" once and then was diablerized by a Tremere who will later become an Archon while inhabiting a Giovanni body.

Noble Grug has perished? Sweet Gaia, mother of all, why have you brought such woe upon our noble house? Grug was a gentle soul, touched with great honor and puissance. Why must his shining flame be cut short, his kind energy lost to the bleak abyss? Oh, the angst, the angst...

If I can say whatever I want to say then: People learn your weak spots and they break you down little by little! I'm so sick of people telling me how quiet I always am or how those certain people like to use and abuse me. Why I can't say! Well I have just one thing to say then: You will never, ever under any circumstances get to me like others did when I was little! I stand my ground. To all those who have tortured me for the past 14 years kiss my royal ass.

I have bad news. Due to an unfortunate plot device that doesn't really effect the players or the game in any way, Grug has died. Please don't bring it up around Grug. I'll be happy to talk at great length about it, however. :)

Me Grug have bad news. Me Grug elergic to trees. We still want hug though. Please hug Grug. No bring up trees around Grug, Grug smash!

Corbitt, I may not be god, but if you want a silicon woman, for 5200 you can have one! I'm serious... go to www.realdoll.com. They can provide where God falls short!

I have tragic news, that I'm very sensitive about. Please don't mention it.

BBZZZZZZZZZZ.... DAMN!

Hey God! Shut the hell up! I told you before, I'll let you out of the goddamn basement when you make me a woman! Not one of those damn women that require a rib either! I wanna good one, that's made outta silicon. Until then, stop zapping the kegs with your eyes!

I have some great news! I am OMNIPOTENT!!!! I have some tragic news, unfortunately, that I would appreciate that you don't bring up in my presence. I am currently trapped in a 10X10 room with a great barrier known as a... door? :::whisper-whisper:::... yes... door. If anyone could please help me, I will show you how to shoot electricity out of your eyes. Please don't mention the door, though... I am very sensitive on this issue.

I have some tragic news. You man not care but, if you have any mercy at all you won't bring up the topic of steaks and Jason Wyrmfoe. I am unable to grow steaks on a cheaty doom vine and it is a topic I am verry sensitive about....NO SALTED PEANUTS NO NO NO NO NO NO!?!?!?

I have some tragic news, that if you have any mercy you will never bring up in my presence. I'm in love with doug ala treeboy. Its not what you think; I love treeboy in a very real, very carnal way. I would ask that you never bring this up while I'm around, or tell treeboy of my secret love, as I am very sensitive in regards to this issue.

I have very tragic news. You may not care, but Steve DeBevic's is currently lacking any form of salted peanuts. I ask that if you see me, please do not bring the subject up, as I am very sensitive about it.

Its definately going to be the combo Salubri/Cappadocian clan. Nothing beats 3 eyes and a dead nut sack....

Survey time! What clan will survive Gehenna the most intact and why?

I have very tragic news. You may not care, but I ask that if you have any mercy in you, please do not bring up the subject of my pregnancy when you see me next. I miscarried. I am getting better physically from the ordeal, but please just don't bring the subject up. Thank you.

Happy New Year all! See you in January!

Thanks all of you that came to the New Year's Party. I had a great time and even though the game was shortened a bit it was still a success. GO SPARTANS!! I'll see you all on the 15th when we get back to the regular LARPing.
