All but three results are written out and ready to send. I should have them done Sunday night when I get back from GA.

Once again Menolly doesn't get the Pulp Fiction reference.

Honestly, it's like she doesn't even WANT to be able to talk to the rest of us.

*puzzled*

The what reference?

...oh yeah.
That was a movie last century or something.
Yet another one I never saw, as I'm not much of a movie goer or television watcher.

But since you troll the Watch constantly, and there have been two references to Pulp Fiction, just in GT threads in recent memory, perhaps that would be a sign that you should go seek out that particular movie.

Which Sunday were you talking about? I don't know if I should just relax until the 25th. :lol:

And by "relax" you mean "obsess over some other game instead, sending out text messages every hour as the deadline approaches, so nobody forgets".

Who did you think didn't already know what I meant and needed you to define it? I assure you, everyone who might possibly read this thread knew what I meant by "relax." You gonna define "who" for us now, in case anyone doesn't know what I mean by that?

Trust me...

Being egged on via text to post things here that would get me in to further trouble with the Autarch isn't relaxing either.
While I responded in kind via text, for once I resisted posting here, and he wound up asking himself...

So at least he can now relax in that way.

Results are out. Sorry, it's been a trying couple of days for personal reasons. Let me know if there are any questions about your results.

Some may see their stats staying the same or even decreasing slightly for what appears to be no good reason. I said before that as your strength gets greater, it's going to be harder to raise those numbers, but I should also state clearly that Reputation, the only stat that can be above 1 independently, tends to trend back towards the high priest/temple max without some kind of major factor in that department.

Sweet! :D

Odin's pretty familiar with those trying days.

So the Warrior Priest story might be a bit long and dull. But inspiration, such as it is, hit me. And, since that happens so seldom... :lol:

*jawdrop*

I'm a bit taken aback by what all is being posted in the forum towards Virelai, but I'll respond as best I can I guess. It's just that if any of us has been forthright regarding sharing what all is learned, it's been Virelai. Except for Surya, and occasionally Nyx, everyone else is so quiet...
