Well, hopefully you don't end up with the god of Regret. That would be... ironic.

Regret is the feeling your unreasonable fantasies make when they die. It's actually a good thing. That means you're growing up, making responsible decisions, and accepting reality.

Regret's motto is "Know your place!"

If whoever is playing Gener would like to be included in Fist and Faith's Gaming Deadline Group Txts, let me know who you are. If you reveal your identity but don't want to take advantage of this service (which is provided at absolutely no cost), let me know that, too. :mrgreen:

I'm Gener, but I don't think I need the texts. :mrgreen:

Ok. But, to the tune of Nothing Could Be Finer...:

Every party needs a pooper
That's why we invited you
Caer Sylvanus

I trust nobody else will want to bow out, and suffer the same humiliation.

I think you dropped a beat in the second line, but the 'Caer Sylvanus' makes up for it.

Fine, fine. I've been shamed enough. Add me to the list.

I'm sure the steady stream of texts you'll unicast me as you blah blah blah about every little nuance of your turn will be sufficient to remind me that the deadline is coming due soon. No need to put me on the automated list as well.

Honestly, it's like you're a teenage girl, about to go to your first school dance, wondering if your dress is too "last week", and if your hair is okay. Just remember, in a few years, you'll look back at the pictures from this dance and wonder why in the Hell you left the house with that deep '80s glam look. And the amount of effort you put into stressing about it now will just seem silly.

What's that? You want double reminders, extra early each morning? That's the craziest thing I ever heard. *shrug* Oh well, if that's what you need to keep on track.

Oh yeah? You want to escalate things?

I really did figure out the script to send you 500 (or any number, really) identical copies of the same Inferno results email. Only one of them would have anything past the 5th line, though. You'd get to open each and every one to figure out which one has your real results in it.

Don't make me use it.

AllMother, you should re-order the player listings in the new thread, so that we're in alphabetical order. That way, Fist can feel just once in his life that he's ahead of the rest of us.

Heheheh. I had a hard enough time just getting them up.

By the way, if your turns are ready to be sent, go ahead and send them. Seems like everyone is getting up and running with this game. We don't have to wait until the 20th to get started. 8)

I will admit I am confused about what to send in a turn without points, and what is being posted in the game thread...

Nothing to be confused about. As a human, you don't need points to do things. You just can't do things using power. We influence people in our everyday lives using no more than our own power of persuation.

Caam, meet Menolly. Menolly, Caam. ;)

(I kid, I kid. You'll find Menolly (and Fist!) to be invaluable at working out details you may have not solidified yourself or explained as much as you thought you did)

She's already told me to stop asking questions. That's why I'm doing ancestor instead of deity. :lol:

Wait... I have the choice of telling Fist to quit pestering me?

That's a game changer! (Pun intended.)
