He was here abouts yesterday, though I don't think he's made any posts since October. Hoping he got the info on Elohimfest 3 and is able to go...

I think it is a toxic Tank overdose.

Yes, lorin, he vanished last fall. His Donaldson scholarship and his Win Wayfriend's Money games are both very much missed.

As you probably know, he (like many Watchers) was possessed of strong opinions. Scuttlebutt is that he got in a tussle in a Flicks thread. The discussion probably belonged in the Tank. I have not read the actual threads, but apparently the difference of opinion was such that he has chosen to be on hiatus all this time.

Hopefully time will heal and he will return to us.

luckily I have no strong opinions about anything, so I remain tusslefree and easily swayed about everything and anything.

hope he will come back soon, I miss his cheery demeanor

Sway yourself to Albuquerque this June and meet more Watchers than the handfull you got to see last September.

I believe it was the Hobbit thread. It devolved into a debate that was essentially about Peter Jackson and the NZ actor's union, so I split that stuff off into a separate thread and moved it into the Tank. Like so many others, WF took issue with the way I handled it, and hasn't been heard from since.

WF was also intending to leave when AATE came out so as not to get his reading spoilered. I think he was probably intending to come back, but maybe he decided his hiatus was quiet or something due to the other things people are mentioning here.

It is a good job we are unable to access the Wild Magic in this reality, otherwise, the Watch would not have survived intact, due to the passion's raised in the various different sub-forums.

We are an opinionated bunch. Vocal and verbose too. Might have something to do with the reason that we're (almost) all here.

But WF has taken a break before and returned renewed, I trust that he will do so again.

i was going to ask about SBG - but he posted on the tire thread.

(a pun - sort of)

Fine, some of us are succinct. But I'm verbose enough for all of them to average it out.

I pm'd Wayfriend the other day to say that his input into the Watch was sorely missed - as it is - and that I hoped that we would hear from him again soon as I for one am awaiting the conclusion of 'Nom's Garden' with the same patience I had learned to await Donaldsons works. ____ had given me a little background as to what had occured re the Flicks/Tank incident and Wayfriend in his reply to me amplified a little as to why he had decided to stop posting for the time being at least. I have not read the threads involved as my main interest was to try to get WF posting again asap, not in the causes behind his decision. My interest was in large part selfish, because for some reason I always found Wayfriends posts not only very knowledgeable but also a great 'barometer' against which I could set my own (often very different) oppinions to asess their value. I for one would have been very interested on his take on AATE - and given the polarisation of opinion the work has generated (see 'How Bad Can It Be' for an example of this) in this area alone I feel his absence keenly. Still - here's hoping he sets the reasons aside as to his not posting, and finds that the reasons to resume are greater.

Yes, Wayfriend's posts often prompted intensity in the Tank, but, his posts throughout the rest of the Watch were always stellar and great to read. Most especially, for me, are the TC related posts, and of course Win Wayfriends Money
