Test Of Skill

[-Lyko-]

Well i'm taking my summer vacation from 24:th of juli to 21:st of august. i know that i will go on a trip to Ireland to drink some beer and maybe afterwards go to amsterdam, paris, berlin or some other big city. But i don't know when i will go away but i will probably only miss 1 session when i travel so we either skip that session or i'll get a sub. (i rather skip my session ebcause i never trusts Subs and ghouma might not wanna play at the time )

Argh hell, I made the change this very minute! Is there no amount of whining, sweettalk or bribes that can make you change my leaders?

5/8 - 27/8 Vacation

Aladar, take care during the Festival, we do not want to have you trampled down when the usual stampede occurs during the Roskilde Music Festival.

"Vacation"? Does that not mean much time for EU? Or are you going away?

 

[FJ!]

Obligations this summer, except the WC, wich I suspect I don't have to get subs to if great games are on thursdays or tuesdays .

27/6 - 2/7 Roskilde Festival

That's it. I'm saving alot of money for this fall, so...

No. You already got until 10 this morning since you had comp problems.

The time limit has been set to make sure we have a relaxed time for making the edits, to make it easy for your hard working GM. You have had plenty of time since Thursday to write it and make MT calculations and order leaders, regardless of your computer (I doubt it has been down all the time since Thursday and definitely not the last hours). In fact, I fail to understand why you did not make them yesterday when you wrote that post of yours asking if it was too late? I even responded to that post quickly.

In practice I do not check what you have written until Wednesday morning. In fact, I will change it to that time. You can find some comfort in the fact that you are not alone.

 

[unmerged(6147)]

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

From now on the AARs shall be posted not later 09.00 CEST the day before the session takes place, i.e. on Wednesday if it is a normal Thursday session. No one will ever be given extended time. Does not matter if you were run over by a car.

Also note than an AAR normally consists of
1. A narrative
2. A reward specification
3. An MT calculation
4. A leader request

If you fail to provide any of these 4 items a consequence will occur, different consequence for each one.

Aladar, take care during the Festival, we do not want to have you trampled down when the usual stampede occurs during the Roskilde Music Festival.

I'm to drunk to be trampled down or atleast to notice it

Well nothing is settles yet for my vacation, i might be going to Luxembourg but i don't know the date yet. So i might be available and i might not be. Sorry i can't be more specific than that at the moment.

So, a session on Tuesday?

POST 1 OF AAR-THREAD REWRITTEN

Since there were several failures this week to provide full AARs (and thusly these players will lose a lot of benefits) I have restructured and rewritten post 1 of the AAR thread.

It is now a wonder of clarity and legibility . I advice you all to read it once. Especially Malibu who for the 2nd session in a row failed to produce an AAR.

Anyone can forget to write a full AAR but if you forget it and have the correct degree of dedication to the game you will then be so full of fury of the rewards you miss that you will make it 100% certain you do not forget it again.

Indeed Absolut. How very impressing of you to spot this.

Indeed Absolut. How very impressing of you to spot this.

Noone has said anything final about a session on Tuesday, thus I asked so that I can plan what Ill be doing this week and the next.

 

[unmerged(6147)]

My dear Absolut. I will now quote from some earlier posts

Post 808, published Monday I think

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

SESSION OF JUNE 15th (i.e. not the one on Tursday) IS CANCELLED

The session of Thursday the 15th is cancelled due to SWE vs Paraguay in the WC.

We will instead play on Tuesday the 13th.

I repeat: we play now on Thursday, it is the week after that this decision refers to.

Expecially note the last paragraph. I put it in bold to make it easier for you to get the message.

I blundered a little with the numbering of the days which made Cicero usure and thus I responded to him in post 813, where it says:

We play on Thursday as normal this week. The next week we play on Tuesday instead of Thursday.

Then Elio did not read the posts but just asked, in post 824.

session will be today or tomorrow evening?

To which I responded in post 825

Elio, this is from post 813

We play on Thursday as normal this week. The next week we play on Tuesday instead of Thursday.

Now you claim that

Noone has said anything final about a session on Tuesday, thus I asked so that I can plan what Ill be doing this week and the next.

:wacko:

 

[unmerged(6147)]

Sarcasm is neither witty nor clever

You should know that my first response was not like this, I became almost furious about having to respond to the same question now and again and again and again and I wrote something very nasty. But just as I had submitted that post I took it up and edited it to this well-mannered sarcastic form.

However, Absolut instead of taking the hint, then proceeded to dig his own grave by claiming that nothing final had ever been written about it and that meant...

-----------

Absolut, if I write something like what I did, hinting that you may have not exactly earned yourself the highest mark in observance, then take for granted that I am impregnable and it is you that have not done what you should. If I had not done my duty I would immediately have confessed my guilt, when I did not do that it could only mean one thing: the fault lie with you.

To start with I will be gone in August almost for the whole month.

As for July I don't know exactly yet, most probably I will be always available except for the days I will be going at sea to take a swim.

As can be seen some of you, for this or that reason, do not have the same control of their lifes as the rest of us. These anarchists' way of living makes it almost impossible to make any definite plans. Just now it looks like we must take one or two weeks at a time. A very inefficient and time-consuming way of handling it, especially considering the speed of answering questions in this thread that some of you display.

The good news is that the WC does not interrupt with playing the 22nd & 29th of June and the 6th of July.

 

[Aladar]

Perhaps if you posted less than 10 posts a day in this thread, even the co-GM would be able to follow it, let alone the rest of the crew.

 

[unmerged(49182)]

Sorry for not noticing the posts, but I have to agree with Aladar. Perhaps make one post which you update all the time instead of making new ones, like you did with the extra session posts.
