Well, I kinda/sorta know what I am going to try to do this turn, after some more discussion with the Autarch via email. So, I might get my turn in tonight or tomorrow. I have no idea if anyone else is still outstanding, though...

Eh. Results are due the first week of the month, but the reality is, I probably won't be processing them in the middle of the week. So...

Yeah, I enjoy self-righteous indulgence a bit too much for mercy.

But yes... understanding and a bit of leniency go a long way.

Some light reading material:

Ovid's Metamorphoses
Kipling's Just So Stories (I loved this book as a kid. I think the armadillo was my favorite)
Handbook of Native American Mythology

One day until deadline. (Then jump to the end of GT and submit your Inferno turn, if you're a nasty demon.)
