Heya folks,


Wow.  The last couple of days its been ME who has had the internet difficulties.  I'm a little red-faced and guess I have to apologize.  But, without further delay, here is the Spring 07 results.


Which, unfortunately, do not turn out to be happy happy results for some of our Southern friends.  The Elves and the Hobbits both get body-slammed in a big way.  Meanwhile, the Rogues throw a key support cut which allows the Faeries to finally win out over the Knights.  And the action heats up in the darker regions of the Underworld...


Six retreats are needed from the fray - three from the Elves, two from the Rogues and one from the beleagured Hobbits.  Deadline for these retreats will be set for Sunday, May 31st (11:59 PM GMT).  Sorry that this is a weekend deadline, but I'm hoping that we can squeeze it in.


As always, please let me know if you spot any mistakes.  Since I'm running the adjudication in my new digs and away from Edmonton, I've temporarily reverted back to the original Realworld files.  Hopefully this won't make a difference.


Cheers!


Trout

But then - just when it looked as though a good solid core of players remained, the GM started getting late orders being submitted by entirely different players...  Who had up until then been right on time every turn and consist with their prelims.


Meanwhile, it was the remaining players - those who got their orders in usually the day after an adjudication came out - who suffered and had to grit their teeth at yet ANOTHER delayed adjudication.


This story is going to continue, I guess, to see how the ending is written.  However - please be advised that if two missing sets of orders do not arrive within the next twelve hours then we will be seeking another pair or replacements.


Apologies for yet another delay everyone.

The GM regrets any interpretations that the Leprechauns were one of the "problem children".  Let it be known that the Belchers were front and center and consistently sent in early prelims without an issue.

Now, please point that pint of warm swill in another direction.  =P

Meanwhile, it was the remaining players - those who got their orders in usually the day after an adjudication came out - who suffered and had to grit their teeth at yet ANOTHER delayed adjudication.


This story is going to continue, I guess, to see how the ending is written.  However - please be advised that if two missing sets of orders do not arrive within the next twelve hours then we will be seeking another pair or replacements.


Apologies for yet another delay everyone.

Hey! Great JuJu. What this BS--"Now when it started, the GM knew that with that number of folks there would be some slackers and people who missed the deadline.  However, over the first six game years, almost all of the problem children were either eliminated or replaced." We Leprechauns sent in our orders on time along with buxom virgins--Not that it did us any good!!!  Couldn't turn a blind eye or rig the deck for us could you!  And now that we find ourselves exiled to the seeder establishments that most self respecting leprechaun wouldn't be found puking in you must add insult to injury!  If you were not omnipotent I would take this pint of warm swill and (Expletives deleted)

Let me tell you a story of a game with 19 players.  Now when it started, the GM knew that with that number of folks there would be some slackers and people who missed the deadline.  However, over the first six game years, almost all of the problem children were either eliminated or replaced for one reason or other.


But then - just when it looked as though a good solid core of players remained, the GM started getting late orders being submitted by entirely different players...  Who had up until then been right on time every turn and consist with their prelims.
