(no subject)

Am back from NWO. Many people are still there, regailing one another with tales of the game from over the last n years. I, however, have work tomorrow. This makes me sad.

Is late, so brief notes.

( BLA BLA BLA ME BLA BLA NWO BLA BLA BLA ME )

That's all I can be bothered to say right now, because it's late. In summary, a good time was had by all; a fine last hurrah for the game. Bye bye now!

T-shirt update, also sword

The shop is currently nonfunctional; attempting to proceed to checkout leads to an error. This appears to be an internal thing rather than a problem with my personal shop, since the same thing happens when I go through the internal no-frills checkout system. Have contacted them regarding this.

I have left a sword at Ilam Hall. I would have rang last night but there was no mobile phone reception at the hall whatsoever ... I've just rung the hall and they tell me the room was devoid of all items, so presumably somebody has picked it up. If whoever it is could let me know they've got hold of it, I'd be much obliged.

I was sorely tempted to stay on the extra day with all the frothbeasts, dissecting and revealing every hilarious blunder and intricate scheme from the five events of the Lion And Serpent Sequence, but I did not book today off work and I am basically too honest to call in sick when I am not. Amusingly, I have come down with a bit of a cold and could probably convincingly have made that call. In fact I did consider staying in bed this morning. So ... yeah.

Note to self: Project manager's belly is not for poking, no matter how tempting.

Phil currently has a throat-based viral infection, that looks like tonsilitis but is not, and is apparently contagious. He has been advised to stay away from people as much as possible for the next two weeks.

The next two weeks are my two free weeks, before the next two not-free weeks.

THE UNIVERSE DOTH CONSPIRE.

NWO query

On a note entirely unrelated to my previous post, I have been wondering this about NWO: Was there at any point in the system a single offensive^[1] Imaginem spell? It's just that I went through two events as hammad with an Iron Parma vs Imaginem and couldn't for the life of me think of a good reason.

[1] 'Offensive' is a word that is here used to mean cast on another with undesirable results, ie, which one would choose to resist with one's Parma Magica.
