Re: Off Topic Things
testing -- there has been trouble with one of the players being able to post.
EDIT: but, I think that the problem was repaired while I was at work.

Re: Off Topic Things
Wow, missed this.
Congratulations - My daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me, even though she causes countless sleepless nights, drains away much of my free time and costs me most of my income.
We both had concerns about conceiving so Alexia was very much a happy accident.

Re: Off Topic Things
Wow! My other gaming message board, OW's Mutant Chronicles, is in the running for the Board of the Week contest this week. I have two votes so far, but I voted for it -- so that's only one vote so far on this first day of the voting.
Note: That message board has sort of died off for lack of player activity, but I foresee that it may be revived in the near future once I get my new mapping method perfected.

Re: Off Topic Things
Just thought I'd use this opportunity to introduce myself. I will be replacing a couple of characters in some running games, (John the bounty hunter and omar the pit fighter) so I thought I'd let everyone know a little about myself.
I am a 33 yr old father of 3. two girls 7 and 3 and a son that's 2. I am currently a stay-at-home father. (the most difficult job I've ever had.) I am however going to school for electronics after having been a machinist/tool & Die maker for 8 years.
My hobbies include warhammer, billiards, bloodbowl (TT and online), and now online quest. Oh yeah and chasing after my 2 yr old.
I live in NW Ohio. I think that about covers it all. looking forward to getting some gaming in and having some fun.

THE QUEEN -- A Little Writing Contest
I thought some of you might be interested.... (perhaps Starfighter could get some inspiration for his writing career )
I have written and submitted a very short fictional story (200 words or less) for a thing called Flash Challenge. There is one of these every month in the Scribe's message board. It is a message board for writers but anyone can visit and read in most of the forums there.
After the time deadline of June 15th (midnight in Australia I think), there will be a poll topic where people will vote on which story they think is best.
I really like the fact that the voting takes place without people knowing who wrote which story. After all the votes are in (meaning after the poll topic is closed), then the winning stories are listed and the writers' names are revealed. The secrecy aspect is why I am not going to share anything here about my specific story until after the challenge is over.
June's theme is "THE QUEEN".
Here is the link to the forum: The Flash Challenge
I will try to remember to post updates here on what happens with this month's challenge.

Re: Off Topic Things
I got second place in the 200-word story I submitted! Woohoo!
You can see my story by clicking on the link/name: Isabel's Reprieve
EDIT: Well... the story is soooo short that I might as well post it here. There was a 200 words limit. Of course, I just had to use all 200 words!
quote: Isabel's Reprieve
by OldWarrior
Isabel, the Queen, keeps court while her younger sister rests from her journey to come and visit.
“It is true, Jasmine, sister dear, the king has been gone for five days now. He is out hunting the elusive dragon, Ragnoth. He needs time away from the pressures of running the kingdom.”
Awaiting her queenly sister, Jasmine watches her quickly and effectively dispatch one item of business after another. A few hours later, after settling two disputes, assigning extra soldier patrols for crime reduction, cutting taxes for an upper class in exchange for their assisting the poor, and negotiating with a neighboring kingdom, the queen finally declares that her day of work is done.
Jasmine offhandedly comments, “The burden of rule must be much heavier with the absence of your husband.”
“Actually,” responds Isabel with a contented sigh, “my day is only half as long as when the king is present.”
“How can such a thing be?”
“Well, you see, I usually must spend half my day deciding, and the other half convincing the king that my way is best, and then persuading him that they are his ideas and that he should have the credit for making such wise decisions!”
