I hope to start in sunset soon, still mulling over which roll up sheet to use.
Long shot, I've been lurking here for a few weeks and already grabbed your book. Still reading through it, but it's fun so far.
Last time I played I setup a website. Thinking about doing that again. I noticed there are lots of newsletters missing from the history, wonder if any of you have been hoarding your newsletters?

Welcome back. Sorry to break it to you but I plan on Rune-ing your plans of having good turns upon your return. See you in both 33 and 21

You know what they say about plans...

That makes no sense Den. I want you to say whatever you need or want to say. But the whole 'you started it' thing only goes back to what I already stated. Are you willing and ready to advance the conversation yourself? Or will you only belly ache some more?
Alright, I am a pretty damn smart fella, but I have no understanding of what you just posted.
I'll try to write this slowly, so you have a chance of understanding, if you believe that you can bust my chops on here and that I will not respond, well then you are dumber than your posts would insinuate.
No. You aren't. Or at the very least you don't use your intelligence. "I want you to say whatever you need or want to say" means I welcome the response. Not too confusing. You might be a gaslighter? That would to be a surprise. Look up and study how to make an argument Den.

Rune, don't let the miscellaneous "chattiness" unrelated to your topic get to you. Keep the faith!

Thanks Consortium! I still remember you as the Wise Old Fandil from Ardivent in the 80s.
I gotta say, the most useful resources I've found since returning have been terrabloods site (of course), and your thread about your graduates on the way to 1000 and beyond. Lots of interesting insight in that thread. Thanks for documenting that journey!
I don't really want to address the troll in my thread, as I'd rather not encourage him. It's like you're having a party, and some uninvited person comes in to pick a fight with one of the people you're talking to, and doesn't even attempt to participate in the fun. I'm sure anything I do/say will only come back at me in some nonsensical way, so I just don't bother.
Anyway! Chatzy has been a cool addition to the game, I've been hanging out there often. Sometimes it's dry, other times Ben complains about losing to Den all the time. Overall, it's quite enjoyable.
I was pretty excited for the mail-in BGs, but life happens - especially to RSI - and I'll just have to wait a bit longer. Anyone have word on the April mail-in? I'm wondering about timing of the cutoff turns.
PS - fun fact - I have a 100% win rate vs Den in 33.

Well, Fandil The Wise is certainly one of us and he is still going strong, albeit quite aged.

Just a reminder, he said you were old in the 1980s.....that was 30ish years ago so you are old+30ish

Just because I am a stickler when it comes to facts, note that I congratulated you on your first turn. And, of course Womanta cannot shut her troll mouth and hijacked your thread. Yeah, it makes me sad as well. If only she had a little class.
Your fun fact will change quickly, this is a promise, and I won't even down-challenge to make that true.

GB, I don't know if you read online or wait for your fights, but I wait for my fights.
Reading our match-up, you have no idea what a rollercoaster that was. I name a guy the "Gentile Killed" and he is seeking the death of your warrior, and then somehow you turn it around??? Damn it! That would have been the perfect subject for my next spotlight. Instead, I will have to focus again on what a brown-noser and glory-hound Consortium is or something like that. And, nobody really even likes it, but since it can't shut it's mouth, I feel almost compelled to write about it.

Right. Welcome back Rune! Good to have you. See you in 33. I run The Snapperheads. And apologies for hijacking the thread. I was distracted by the fun. Didn't realize I had done so. That was rude of me.

I think you mean: "imply". At least, that's what I infer from the post.

LOL, that is cute, and sadly, correct.
