Ad Astra

Another event this Saturday that I won't be able to make - long-standing obligation for my Society for Creative Anachronism hobby - Harvest Day/Tournament of Chivalry.

And I know several CoH players will be also attending Harvest Day, dagnabbit!

I will see if there is someone trustworthy who is willing to log me in for the event - my sister is also a long-time players.

Or if this is re-run another day, I will really, really try to make it there.

Beata will be there again.

I think one item on my bucket list is to get her TFC & get her to 50. She would be my only EAT to reach the cap.

Columbus, OH!

Ohio - the Heart of it all.

NOT a Buckeye fan.

Since Penny's TF is such a short one, and Tiny Bolt & Errant might need a bt of extra travel time, let's leave this week's TF at 8 and discuss whether the move any more to an earlier start time.

Volunteer, people!

Please be sure to check all the updates TonyV has been posting and respond accordingly.

Thanks!

Damnit!

Out of town, lomg-standing commitment on Saturday.


Damn, damn, damn, damn....

Still looking for more volunteers, people!

I'd love to help. Research & writing up results is what I do for a living.

I'm having a bit of trouble with CoHTitan atm, but I'm trying to get access restored.

Thank you.

I've posted my story elsewhere and can't stand writing it again - but y'all made a game where I could FLY!!!

Truly, thank you...

Bad insomnia, staying up refreshing the forums as well.

Alcohol sounds kinda good, but so does the ice cream - I think I'm going to send my husband out to get me some Dairy Quenn when he gets up today.

Dammit Steelclaw - first the Epitaph, now this.

I'm out of Kleenex.

Three of my first 5 characters - yep, I was an altoholic from Day 1.

Miss Sarah, Ill/Emp Controller



Bast-Nefretiri, Claws.SR Scrapper




Libby Belle, Kat/Regen Scrapper, originally a sidekick for my husband's MA/SR Scrapper, Sergeant Liberty, both translated from a PnP campaign.



For good measure, Sergeant Liberty (my husband's first character, but I made this costume)



After 8 years, only Libby Belle, the former sidekick, made it to 50.

See you in Columbus, Chuck!

Black Pebble is a gold name now.

GATE,

I'm really, really going to miss you and the rest of the Tuesday night team (AB, Saint Jon, Ellllls, Angelica, and the regular substitutes). I don't know wht I will do Tuesday evenings without y'all. I am also going to miss the Satruday crew - IB, Rasset, Gata, various Taxis, especially Johnny even though he left us some time ago.

I came to this game a bit unwillingly. My husband had just been burned with Earth & Beyond shutting down (I never really understood why he was so upset until yesterday). We had teased other friends about playing Ultima all night - they must be really lonely guys to "waste" all that time.

But my husband knew I had been missing a PnP campaign we used to be part of, that had disintegrated after the death of a very dear friend who had been the center of the campaign. He had heard of a Superheroes MMO, and signed up for the trial in September 2004. After making his first character, and learning the controls, etc., he sat me down at his computer and showed me the character he had made to try to recreate my lost superhero - and so Maurya was born.

The first couple of months, we shared his account, but soon (November) I had to have my own. I had to recreate the few characters I had made on his account, but a couple of them still survive, and Maurya was my first 50, after only 4 and a half years!

This community gave me outside contact while I was job hunting for 2 long years. They offered a shoulder to cry on following the sudden shocking deaths of my brother-in-law and then my baby brother last year. I can never thank you all enough.

Can't type thru the tears right now, maybe later

I would still like to run this tf. Anyone else?

I'm gonna miss both of you - even tho' Saint was pretty quiet.

Mixed feelings myself. I might stay until they shut down....

I'm in - let me know.

My concern as well, since I was on a month-to-month sub. I want to have access to all of my alts as long as possible, to archive their stories & looks at least.

Meh, let 'em find you and take action - cease & desist letter, etc. If they want to spend money enforcing their IP, good - make 'em bleed.

Do I sound bitter?

Michelle,

I know I would be more than willing to kick in some funds to help you make the best video ever. Let us know how to help.

As for ideas - I got nothing. I would request that you show more places than the iTrials for those of us who never got there and now never will.

I don't know what, if any, ending the studios might be planning.

But this is the true epitaph. They can't possibly sum it up any better.

Well, I have a WoW account, I might go there. Don't really want to, but I don't have the heart to find a new community right now.

I will probably go hang out a bit more on Westley's UnLeashed forums, at least keep in touch with some folks there....
