I'll try to play Shiny, though right now I have a crapton of work due...tomorrow that I haven't even started. I should be able to post in about 45 minutes though.

As for how the exam went? Best case scenario? Everyone failed.

some jerk teachers gets hard on by failing everyone. they they have to curve and every one feels fine. I never understood these guys.

Anytime I need to curve one of my exam, I feel that I failed as an instructor.

No, it was just a hard test. Really, really hard. It wasn't designed to be impossible though.

I will post for Shiny before I go to bed.

Yeah, only reason I have slow posting is because Mithril isn't doing much atm and I have been rushing around. I went to two lectures that professors where giving to help decide if they would be hired to teach the organic chem class. The school wanted student input and I got extra credit for chem. Both of them had to give a lecture on enols and enolates. I was completely lost, but I was asked to look at their styles of teaching and confidence levels. They were very different.

I'm really glad it went well, Athedia. Though WHY did you have to mention orgo now?!

Also, did I do a good job as Shiny?

I do not think so. You are just experiencing what a typical PbP is.

I still think that we can keep going! We've just hit a bad spot because of work and Hurricane Sandy. I'm not giving up on this game!

Who is saying let's give up on this game? If we drop a few players, I know a few good posters who we could try to recruit.

But I don't wanna drop the players! We've got a great dynamic going and I only want to drop someone as a last resort.

Besides, it's only been a day; most PbPs would kill to have our schedule.

Two completely random things: I should be able to work on the sprites today, and do you think we should post battle music? Or themes for each character?

I don want to drop people either.

So if it is only a day, why are you so freaked out?

No music please ....

Because it's been declining for a bit. And why no music?

Oh Coffee, you worry too much! And you did an truly excellent job as Shiny. My only quibble is that Shiny Strongedge didn't provide any occupations.

I'm back around to speak as son as the orc responds.

Darn, I knew I forgot something. And that shouldn't be too long considering that Zman's on right now!

Say, Admiral, do you think there's a clip of music or something that fits Shiny well?

I hope your weekend's better, Zman. Mine is going to suck so much. And I see such an easy way to get past this! Just glare at Natalia!

Guys, what do you think of my plan with the orc?

EDIT: Headed to class so I'll probably be back in an hour or so.

It's great, but I'm not sure that the ogre hatred will still be left if the charm wears off. What might alternatively work is if we convince him to go warn everyone about the ogre attacks while he's still under the charm.

And tell them to put off Linwood...That might work. But what happens then when the charm wears off?

We might have to hand over the masterwork armor. I don't want to hand him a weapon though.

No way can a sentry tell the orcs to put off their attack. The best he can do is spread rumors and misinformation. (Though we might need an illusion, otherwise when people ask how he knows, all he can say is "the nice humans, dwarf and gnome outside told me").

Hm...We'll have to put our heads together on this. Using an Illusion would be really helpful though. Dead ogre just behind us as Valen presents his gear?

Why are we giving him gear?

Dead ogre wouldn't scare him. I'm thinking ghost sound and silent image for an ogre attack.

Miriam has expressed her disapproval of such a strategy so she will stay back on the lookout but will not do anything that endangers the plan.

Zman, if I am not around, just RP her. You know how she feels about it.

No, I mean we show the orc the gear we took off the dead ogre for proof that we had to fight them. And how would we make a sudden image of an ogre attack convincing? I do think an image of a dead ogre near his den, that we managed to kill, would be very convincing. The orcs are smarter (and I really do think less bloodthirsty) than ogres; we can reason with them. All we've got to do is convince them that humans, who are just living on their land, aren't nearly as much of a danger as ogres, who will eat them.
