Do you D&D?

[Joe]

Well? Do you? Are you a geeky freak like me who can name rules and mathematic forumlas off the top of his head without breaking a sweat? Do you play Dungeons and Dragons? How about something else like GURPS? Or D20 Modern? How about anything where you role play? - not including video games -.


- And, would you want to start a game here at OP9? In the chatroom (Probably a different chatroom just on the same server)

[CNagy]

Dude, I had the 2nd edition books memorized. 3e is easier to learn, but I don't have the same "flip to page 95" ability with it that I had after years of poring over those second edition handbooks.

[Joe]

Oh my god! I'm not alone! I thought I was the only one on this forum... who indulges in his geeky desires.

Cnagy - I was thinking about maybe start an Op9 dnd session in the chat room or some such fun. I got a dice bot that is great, all I need are you know, more people. Would ya be interested at all?

[CNagy]

Definitely.

[Pierrot le Fou]

Apparently I'm playing D&D tonight. Go figure?

[Joe]

Oh how cool Pierrot! Would you be interested in joining Cnagy and I? It would be *in southern girl accent* Mavelous if you could! A fine man like you, gracing us with your company!

[Invictus]

It's been a while, but I daresay I still have a pretty darn good handle on things DnD. As someone who can be severely obsessive-compulsive from time to time, I had the DnD bug pretty bad for a while...

[Pierrot le Fou]

I'm actually being serious. I have to meet several people at 5:30 to indulge my nerd-dom. Unless you're in Japan, it won't help you much, eh?

[Joe]

I believed you. I want to start a dnd game in the chatroom. I've done it before, It still works fine. Would you be willing to start a game with Cnagy and I?

Sorry if I didn't make that clear. =(

[Pierrot le Fou]

Internet gaming is best done through a computer game. Trying to do Pen and Paper over the internet does not interest me.

[Joe]

Alrighty then.

[Jay]

D&D R teh suck.

[Expert Insomniac]

I would never do D&D! I certainly never played that game! I never created a cleric named Adara who was a half elf and chaotic neutral! I have not gone on adventures through my living room! I have no idea what 2d6 means, and have never seen nor heard of the existence of a twenty sided die! Now leave me in peace, before I summon a level 3 beast to kill you and absorb my attacks.

[Joe]

Never huh? So does that mean you would never be interested in starting a game a OP9?

[nice gaijin]

I almost had a chance to play but it never happened. I think it'd be good fun with enough booze, but with my luck whoever wanted to be dungeon master would be real serious and not as much fun...

Here's an old Steven Lynch song, called D&D...
I got my twelve-sided die and I’m ready to roll
With a Wizard and my Goblin crew
My friends are comin over to my mom’s basement
bringin funions and Mountain Dew
I got a big broad sword made outa cardboard
And the stereo’s a pumpin Zeppelin
Its that time of the night we turn on the black light
Let the Dungeons and a Dragons Begin!


It’s D & D
Fightin with the Legends of Yore

It’s D & D
Never kissed a lady before

Nope.

Now the lord of the rings a dark crystal and things
We use these as a reference tool
And when we put on our cloaks and tell Warlock jokes
We're the coolest kids at the school

No we’re not
I know...

Now Tak's a real bastard
But a fair dungeon master
He’s got hit points and charisma to lend

And I rehearse in my room or what I call the dragon’s tumb
When I’m not I’m with my girlfriend


Wow wow wow
You’ve got a girlfriend?

Yea...
Yea...
No.


It’s D & D
Warriors who terrify

It’s D & D

Viiirgins till the day we die...

[Jay]

I would never do D&D! I certainly never played that game! I never created a cleric named Adara who was a half elf and chaotic neutral! I have not gone on adventures through my living room!

That was worth not seeing any posts by you in ages. *giggle*

[Joe]

Ok so, lets take a quick role call (haha, bad pun... sorry) Who would like to start an IRC game?
Me!

[Invictus]

No home internet and no IRC, so 'fraid I can't...

[Expert Insomniac]

That was worth not seeing any posts by you in ages. *giggle*

Hey, I aim to please. Unfortunately, I do have pretty bad aim... and if I was a man, I could make a mean ejactulation post here. Damn.

And as far as OP9... I am going to say something very weird and creepy.

I can't because I feel like I'd be cheating on my brother.

*Runs to shower and scrub her skin raw*

Ah, that's better. What I mean is, every time I play, my brother's always been the Dungeon Master. Not too mention I'm way too flakey to actually commit to anything online... however, seeing as how I am flakey, my opinion may change. The instant is does, I will let you know.

[Jay]

Hey, I aim to please. Unfortunately, I do have pretty bad aim... and if I was a man, I could make a mean ejactulation post here. Damn.

"I like to please and I please who I like."

[Kaji]

I've been into it on and off, but for the time being I don't have anyone to play with. Hence the books are collecting dust on my shelf for the time being. Have to resort to pulling together a group on AIM, but that only works so well...

[Mushu]

ive played in my younger year, was quite fun, but now that im older me and friends dont have the time to play anymore, but what the hell im up, black man signing up although i forgot most of the rules, so kindly reming me about them

oo yeah i totally go into the chars i make so beware of loud noises, obnoxious, rude, charming, sexist, hostile etc etc behaviers :D and if i decide to create semi evil char, i might just back stab ya, for fun of it, nothing personal

[Joe]

Mushu, glad to have ya! That brings the overall count to three.

[kyaa the catlord]

Hey, I'm not a Draconion, or a Vistani....
I don't live on a Demi-plane or frequent the Outer Planes, or have Psionics....
and I don't know Raistlin, Takhisis or Lord Soth from Krynn,
although I'm certain they're really really Evil.

We have an evil god called Bane, not Iuz.
We speak Dethek and Espruar, not Common.
And Its 'TIAMAT', not ' Takhisis', ‘TIAMAT’

I can proudly slay every monster in Undermountain.
We had a “Time of Troubles”, not a “Greyhawk War”,
AO, not the Lady of Pain,
and that the Dracolich is a truly proud and Evil dragon.
A Drow can be a Ranger, a Scimitar can be dual wielded,
and its 'Elminster' not 'Bigby', 'Elminster' !!!!

Faerun was the second D&D setting created!
Its 3 times larger than the contiental United States
And the most popular campaign setting EVER!

My name is Kyaa!!
And I am Faerunian!!!

[Joe]

Elminster is a freaking beast. Level 35 beastly mofo. I think Mordenkainan is craftier though.

Kyaa, are you interested in joining us?

[kyaa the catlord]

Its in chat? I don't do chat. :(

[Mushu]

Its in chat? I don't do chat. :(
naar, we will be over your place,we bring the cookies you bring the milk :D

[Joe]

Anyone in particular want to DM?

well as you got hte book, you should be the DM or anyone else who has it, i dont have them

[PopCulturePooka]

I used to play White Wolf games.

Mainly Werewolf and Changeling.

[Spaatz965]

Used to play a lot. Mostly D&D, but did some Gamma World and a few others for a change of pace. Just recently packed up all my old books, modules and such. All my books are from before TSR was bought out by Wizards of the Coast.

We'd take turns DMing...so had several very long term campaigns (think 10+years) going. One of the core games we started out at zero level, and based on our actions our classes were determined (I was pretty szchizo, Cleric/MU/Thief).

The campaign I was running, based in the world of greyhawk, the core adventures were all inspired/based on Jethro Tull songs. Grabbed some Dungeon Magazine side adventure stuff to spice things up...and unexpectedly nearly killed off the entire party (group of 5 lower level characters faced with an adult green dragon). The MU, thinking out of the box, decides to cast a web spell at the beast's mouth...which normally would do *nothing*, but I made him roll to hit...and he nailed a natural 20. Took me 5 minutes to figure out how to handle it. Rulled that the web went off in the beast's gullet (that's enough web to fill several 10'x10'x10' cubes to being impassible), which effectively suffocated the thing to death. Was a remembered evening. We had some pretty cool ones. One of our guys ran a one nighter, holloween adventure, where we played ourselves and had to deal with all sorts of vampires and werewolves.

Anyhow...we stopped playing when I moved out of the area. I'm back, but the group pretty much went our seperate ways (sad). Anyhow, I have my best set of dice, in a felt lined polished wood container, on my desk at work. Decision making tools };o)

Cheers! and happy gaming!

[Daishikaze]

My Wife plays D&D every wednesday in Bern with like 8 other people. I have all my Dad's first and second Edition books, which I shipped over here at her request.

I used to play "Big Eyes, Small Mouth"(BESM for short), an anime RPG, with my friends. We never really took things too seriously though, we just goofed off most of the time.

[Mushu]

Daishikaze and Spaatz965, you both wanna play? i really wanna play

[Dr. Hobo is my hero]

I used to D&D a bit. Although whenever I did I'd fall asleep because I usually played right after work with my friends. It was kinda funny because I had this rogue with awesome hide abilities that for some reason my friend could never roll and see me. I slept during one of the bigger battles once and was the only one not hurt :D That and I god rolled an umber hulk once... backstab that was a critical hit and like 5 d6's all rolling a six. The hulk was meant to be a challenge because we were at early levels too.

As a side note though, I've always wanted to play Shadowrun but no one around me that I knew got into it. The Shadowrun setting was bad ass. I mean magic and tech in a not so distant future version of Earth was a really cool setting.

[Daishikaze]

Like I said, My wife is the D&D player, I played once or twice in High School, but that was it, don't really know how anymore

[Mushu]

but do you wanna play*?

[koku]

this one time....in 7th grades some friends asked if I wanted to play. Asked what it was. I played for like....4 minutes? Didn't realize till years later what exactly I was apart of! I didn't sleep for months.


^^

[Daishikaze]

I don't think I will, Its really not easy for to RP in IRC

[sakana]

My friends asked me if I wanted to learn it with them (nothing serious like that song) but it seemed to complicated and we didnt feel like getting it all together so we never really started to learn. We didn't know where to start :D

[Janken]

I don't play tabletop D&D, but I play games using the rules like Baldur's Gate I/II.

[Jay]

Shut up SIDE-OH-NIME.

(I'm derailing Joe's thread and giving Panda shit at that same time. Cool huh? :D)

[Spaatz965]

With 4 and 2 year old (and wife) to handle, haven't been able to set regular time aside to play...that and I'll probably be going for an MBA soon, which will kill any kind of life I might possibly have for about 2 years.

ie...don't think I'll be able to play either.

[Jay]

...That post's just BEGGING to be ironicised. :D

With 4 and 2 year old (and wife) to handle, haven't been able to set regular time aside to play (<-- Dungeons and Dragons)...that and I'll probably be going for an MBA soon, which will kill any kind of life I might possibly have for about 2 years.

Oooh, the sweet irony, it burns, it burns!

[Spaatz965]

Cute. Thanks bunches Jay :p

:::guess I'm fully integrated into the forums now that Jay's zinged me:::

[Jay]

Cute. Thanks bunches Jay :p

Whaaaat? *innocent look*

Don't blame ME. Dungeons & Dragons nerds HAVE no life, fact in point. :p

[hapacheese]

<-- Used to DM 2 AD&D campaigns and GM'ed a Shadowrun campaign. Also was involved in a Macross campaign, Werewolf (got tired of that one quick), Rifts, and the Palladium Superheroes one. Then college/work/etc happened :(

/hardcore

[Jay]

<-- Used to DM 2 AD&D campaigns and GM'ed a Shadowrun campaign.

...whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Oh, wait. On second thoughts, I'm not sure I want to know.

Nerd. :p

[hapacheese]

Nerd. :p

I work at a videogame company, and the geeks *here* bow down to my geekish superiority.

You expected something different? ;)

[PopCulturePooka]

Years ago I used to be into the rave music scene in Brisbane.
Knew some of the who you should knows, a few local DJ's etc.

Fun people.

Out every weekend raving, drinking, drugging, fucking etc.

Every Tuesday night they played D&D.

Every second Thursday they played White Wolf games. Usually Vampire, Changeling or Mage.

True story.

[Random]

I've played 2 D&D campains, plus a D20 modern and a D20 future one, and I've GMed a D20 future.
Never played online though, so no idea how it would work out. I suppose I could try...

If anyone else is, that is.

[CNagy]

I'm still very much in on this.

[Mushu]

so are we setting up a game or what?

[Joe]

Well that makes around 4 of us. We still need a DM. And I propose,we use 3.5. Any other suggestions besides mine?

P.S. Random VGcats makes me laugh, nice avatar.

[l337m45t3r]

I'm attacking the darkness!!

[Joe]

Anyone else want to join the game? Pooka? How about you? Don't forget we still need a DM. And how about talking about the basics of our game? Starting level, any special ploys, etc...

[PopCulturePooka]

I'll have to pass lads.

I barely have time for WoW.

:(

[Joe]

Alrighty then, sir.

[Joe]

*BUMP* C'mon people!

[StormShadow]

Twilight: 2000 boys! Live by it.

[Joe]

Huh? I don't follow.

[StormShadow]

It's the best game. 10 times better then D&D

[Joe]

Ok, we need 1 more person, and we got ourselves a four person game! One more! Uno!

[Jay]

Count me, without doubt, OUT.

[Pierrot le Fou]

Years ago I used to be into the rave music scene in Brisbane.
Knew some of the who you should knows, a few local DJ's etc.

Fun people.

Out every weekend raving, drinking, drugging, fucking etc.

Every Tuesday night they played D&D.

Every second Thursday they played White Wolf games. Usually Vampire, Changeling or Mage.

True story.
Did you go to my college?

Seriously, drinking, drugging, and gaming were a staple of a year or so of my life. We usually had some liquor and a bong on the table. Harder stuff at times. Had loads of fun.

One of the members of our group, who has done more drugs than all the members of Bon Jovi COMBINED and has screwed well over triple-digits worth of women, wrote a book for White Wolf (I forget which one, don't ask) and ran a midnight game of Vampire, a game I had never played.

What was supposed to take an hour or two ended up with two dead vampires (one diablorized by me, oops?), about 30 dead civilians, and a mess of other nonsense. Loads of fun.

We also played a D&D 'campaign' (though it was more like a set of adventures) called 'the Portal' in which you paid X gold and got Y hours in this portal dimension with a ring that let you come back if you yelled 'take me home' and you'd carry everything you had on me. The rewards were HUGE but the risks were equivalently large.

First character to go in: level 6 thief.
Result: Javelin of slaying through the chest shot from a great bow by a medusa.

Second character to go in: level 4 ranger.
Result: Poison arrow shot by a pack of lizardmen.

Third character to go in: level 5/4 thief/illusionist.
Result: Crushed by a boulder shot by a catapult.

Fourth character to go in: level 3 paladin.
Result: Found a giant black pudding covering the floor, I checked to see if it was evil, it wasn't, stuck my foot it, started getting eaten, said "TAKE ME HOME!" and sucked the black pudding back with me which wiped out the village.

Fifth character to go in: warrior/druid Alaghi (like a Yeti).
Result: Got an arm chopped off by a kobold (the embarrassment).

Loads of fun. Lots of death.

[hapacheese]

...

Dude, you got your arse handed to you by a kobold.

[Joe]

Yeah, that is a little embarassing...

We need one more person! Than we can get the show on the road!

I wanna be a ninja >.> I got the complete adventurer and the ninja class is really neat.

[Balain]

I have played so so so many diffrent RPG's I could name some I've played that none here has heard of I bet.

I'm sure there's another half dozen just can't think of what they are

[Joe]

Would you be willing to join the game? We need one more person =)

[Ceirnian]

I have been playing for about 8ish years now, and I still play with the current 3.5 rules. Not interested in joining but thought I'd throw that in before sleep.

[Kragar]

I'm not as well-versed as Balain, but I've made my way through a bunch of RPGs over the years. I started out with D&D and then moved up to first ed AD&D, back when there was a difference. Then I branched out into Top Secret, Gangbusters, Gamma World, Champions, Twilight 2000, Traveler, Star Frontiers, Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, and a bunch of others that I'm forgetting.

The only thing I keep in touch with now is CoC, and that's most through their Delta Green setting, and that's only through discussion of it online rather than playing. The one time I tried to find an RPG groups around here was a complete waste of time. And now I don't have the time to spend on a real game, online or otherwise.

[ZMarie]

Sounds fun. I haven't played in a few months (the last couple have been a little crazy for me), but I'm about to start a new game as a DM in about a month or so.

Glad to see I'm not the only one on here.

[Joe]

So Zmarie, interested in joining then?

[Balain]

Oh yeah gangbusters and star frointers were a couple others.

I had twilight 2000 and gamma worl. A friend gave me his books when he moved. bUt never played them


I hardly ever have time to roleplay in real life so probally can't make it for an online one.

[Balain]

Oh in case any one here hasn't seen it this comic cracks me up.

The Order of the Stick (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=1)

[Joe]

Damn... damn.... dammity damn....

[LJustus]

I have been reading that web-comic for. . . counts. . . takes off shoes. . . counts some more. . . about a year now.

I look forward to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I was really happy when they went to 3 times per week instead of two.

[Kragar]

Oh yeah gangbusters and star frointers were a couple others.

I had twilight 2000 and gamma worl. A friend gave me his books when he moved. bUt never played them

I used to play Twilight 2000 with a friend of mine, but we didn't have anyone else to play with, so I wound up running about 7 characters.

Did I say that out loud? High school was better.

The only time I ever tried to play Gangbusters was when my parents were punishing me for something and took away all my RPG material. TSR had a special offer where if you bought the GB boxed set you got like three adventures or something. We wound up playing in someone's basement for half the night, and never did figure out all the game mechanics.

[Random]

I've been reading OOTS for ages, too.
Today's comic cracked me up. Exploding runes for teh win! :D

I read a few other comics too, that said.
Will the DnD be using IRC? If so, is mIRC really the best client?

[Mushu]

we could use team speak

[Joe]

I have a dice bot that is set to use mIRC. So the dice bot will be on mIRC, but if you guys want to use a different client than mIRC, go for it. Mirc is the standard client for IRC, pretty much.

You can get it here at www.mirc.com
Go to file > select server > add irc.blitzed.org > connect > join #op9

For the eventual dnd chatroom, I suggest we use #op9DnD

I'll have my dice bot in there at all times, if for some reason someone needs to roll with him.

I also elect Random to DM, because for some reason I feel he will do us good.

[Serjio Dragonis]

Howdy people...Random here was just telling me you may be doing some RP'ing in which case I'd like to join if possible...:D

Also..Joe, as the main DM for the games me and Random play together, I've seen the extent of his DM'ing abilities..I'd be careful, he can come up with really good ideas and plots but is also plagued by a sort of inbuilt ability to mess them up...Still not a bad choice :D..

[Joe]

Oh neat, come join the chat then, and hang out with the rest of us. We still haven't oficially decided on a DM though, so if Neko doesn't want it, he's not being foreced to take it.

*instructions if you need them*
Look up

[Mushu]

i think we shoudl use mIRC and team speak, as i think typing alone will be problem, as there might typos and people that cant every fsat and stuff, are you follow me on this?

[Joe]

There shant be any team speak, not all of have mics. Plus, the quality would be kind of lacking.

Also, by all of us, I mean me.

[Joe]

Wooo, we got a DM, and it's Random! All you hopefuls stop by the #op9DnD channel, that's where the dice bot resides, where you can roll up your character.

We're starting at level three. I'm assuming any classes from the Core books, and complete books are allowed.

Please, keep a savage species to a minimum, and if you MUST have that special whatever, it's going to be heavily edited.

[Random]

This should be fun :D

[ZMarie]

So Zmarie, interested in joining then?

I really would love to, but right now I can't. I'm not going to be dependable these next few weeks. I'm getting married in a few days (and I'm about to pull my hair out, but I digress) and things are a little bit hectic right now.

But if things are going after my life has calmed down a bit, I might see about it. No telling when that will be, though.

[Joe]

YAY CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. =D

All people report to #op9DnD to make your character, I think we got 5 or 6 people. And probably have an audience too. D_pad might watch :)

[Joe]

I apologize for my many double posts.

Times for the game + First game:

I'm completely free on weekends.

You MUST post on this topic if you're in the game, the sooner we figure this out the better.

[Joe]

Alright, and finally, we have an official time.

For those of you in England, it's 5 PM, sundays
For those of us in JesusLand, it's (from left to right) 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM On sundays.

[Random]

Also, the first game is on the 24th - not this sunday, but the one after.

[Joe]

My bad, sunday is the 25th, thank you D_Pad for showing that to me.

[Serjio Dragonis]

25th..on Sunday..holy shit..

Okay filling in: Just moved to University, Great place (It's up in Manchester :D) Still haven't been able to get a network cable for my pc (Nooooooooooooooo I am offline..it hurst..it actually hurts *cries*)..

So far the feeling of being completly free hasn't hit me..though I've noticed I do not have a random person asking me to do this and that..

Missing my folks a hell of a lot...

btw: It turns out my roomates love RP games, and they are also heavy gamers on pc. I might ask them to join and see if they want to..so we may have 2 extra people..(unlikely though)

Thing is we were planning on getting completly and utterly hammered on Fri-Sat night. Apperantly Ian's found a pub which has a part going from 12 pm- 7am and we may be doing an all nighter...also drinks are supposed to be dirt cheap at £1 per pint...

So I'm not sure in what condition I may be on Sun..I'll cut back on the drinks maybe drink only a bottle of Vodka and no more..I'll have to figure out a way to do it without losing toooo much sleep..>.<

Note: Jesusland? Never heard of someone calling America that before..I thought you were mostly Evangelist or some other crappy offshot of the Catholic Church( all other Christian churches are basically cheap ass ripoffs..talk about an unimaginative lot.."Hey let's split from the main church and start our own..")

Mind you I don't mind them too much..worst people I hate are the really stupid believers..stupidity and faith unfortunatly tend to go hand in hand, even though they aren't the best pair >.<

[Serjio Dragonis]

Just to check..Are we using the Living Greyhawk Campaign Sourcebook Version 4.2 From March 1st 2005? Or another? If so could someone link me to a place I can download please? Thanks...

[Joe]

Talk to Random, he gave me the link.

[Hitokage]

^_^ I am a geeky girl gamer! We have a D&D night every saturday. We were playing under Greyhawk, but we switched over to try our hand at Star Wars. If you live in/near Philly, come join us!

[Joe]

ALl the way out there in philly... wow... so far away...

LIAR! YOU LIE! THERE IS NOS UCH THING AS A GIRL GAMER! LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR!

[Serjio Dragonis]

hm...It seems Joe's perception of the wolrd just went up in flames around him..unlucky mate..lol :p

[spaik]

Played a lot of D&D growing up. Still play now, though my campaign that I ran ended due to time conflicts and such with my friends that I play with. I really enjoyed running it too, and they enjoyed playing it. Too bad. The way I ran it was I had ongoing sideplots that I would write short 'chapters' for and send them out to everyone. It felt more like going through a computer RPG in that respect. They got to get a bunch of 'cutscenes' that really filled out the whole story with interactions that they wouldn't know about or be ableto see happen, giving them as players, more draws and immersion into the 'story' so to speak. Was an interesting experiment and it ran quite well, though taxing on my time.

Played mostly D&D, AD&D, and 3.0, though I've been itching for a real chance to play WhiteWolf. I love the Storyteller system. GURPS is detail heavy but it seems really fun too, just takes a good amount of game knowledge to get into it fully.

Played around with custom rulesets and stuff, cause I like that kinda shit.

Tried running and playing in internet campaigns, over bbs and chat. None worked out. Its just not the same. You don't have that person to person interaction, nor the comraderie of your friends in proximity.

On a side note, I find it hilarious that Vin Diesel is a huge D&D fan and has been playing for over 20 years. Doesn't really surprise me though. After growing up and getting out of school, I've met some people who you would never expect to be huge D&D nuts to be hardcore tabletop gamers. It's pure hilarity when ex-bouncer action movie stars go on Conan O'Brien and talk about their Drow with double specialization.

Vin diesel is the crazy shit. He's so cool, yet so nerdy, yet so dreamy....

Oh, and for those of you who are, now, 40 MINUTES LATE, you'll all bastards.
Unless you had family emergancies, which you all no doubt had.

[Random]

1 hour, 10 minutes late and I hate you all.
Except Joe, and Dragonis, who both turned up around on time.

What can I say? People never cease to amaze me with their incompetence. In this I include myself. Still, from what I've heard most of you were fairly sure you could make it. You knew it was there anyways, and if you didn't check with everyone that you were gonna be availabe at the times you agreed to then..

Obviously, Me, Joseph and Random are unimpressed by this. Guys what happened? This was both a real let down and a disapointment. Get yourselfs sorted, and wake up!!!

For reasons, which should be clear I'm not even sure we will continue this. I know Random's put a lot of energy into creating something for us, and I know Joseph was looking forward to it...Again, you guys were a real let down. You really do need to get your acts together.

We may or may not be attempting this again. If we will (probably) Do not repeat what happened today, all your going to do then is disapoint people and get them angry at you.

If we do try again I expect to see you each there...

Thanks for your time
