So we shall be hearing no more of her toDay.

Thanks Nogrod for explaining, I'll elaborate a little more.
I was ill, so I didn't go to school. (And I normally play in school during the breaks.) As I don't have a net access home, the situation looked pretty hopeless. Anyway, I headed for a library to make even some posts. I didn't manage to reserve a computer for more than half an hour or fifteen minutes at a time. I used some of my library time to read the hordes of e-mail I had got for one project. Then, I spent a lot of time switching computer and copying and pasting parts of my post to my e-mail. It also took me very long to read the thread through, since I hadn't read everything from even Day2. So, when after spending about two hours in the library and almost having written one long post, three minutes before my time with the computer automatically log me out and it would be some other person's turn, the computer stuck. I was't able top copypaste the things I had written and so I lost two thirds of everything I had written during the library visit. At that phase I was really frustrated and thought of going home, but I decided to make a short post and vote first. However, all the free computers remaining - so I guess the whole system - failed to co-operate with me. They didn't open Mozilla Firefox (the computer babbled something about program being already running and thus unable to be reopened) or Internet Explorer (the computer stuck on loading the program for more than five minutes, while it normally takes less than a minute to load the program). So I gave up and went home, and if I hadn't bought hordes of chocolate from the nearby shop, I doubt I'd be sane. Sorry for über-long post, but I felt I should explain.

Oh, we understand it, that happens, Lommy. Sometimes the technic just mutinies against us.

Thinlómien · 04-11-2007, 11:08 PM

...but this one is an exception.

How typical of me to get killed just before the day I would have had most time - and possibly most fun. Anyway, what else did I have? Oh, yes, now I remember: I'm a much better seer than Mac since he needs some ghastly dinosaur to find out about things, but I can see the future just by myself:

11. What do you think about the person who last took the survey?
I'm not sure who did this last, but I guess it was Mac/russandol. (At least he was the one I stole this from.) A really nice guy, but as a word of warning: he's a scary werewolfer. I can't help thinking that the time I really am a ww, it's he who's going to nail me. Mac knows a lot about Tolkien's work and it's lovely to discuss with him.

Anyway please nail the remaining wolf/wolves soon of let him/her/them kill you soon: I'm eagerly waiting for post-game discussion! *jumps up and down*

To my fellow Werewolvers!

My sincere apologies for not getting back to you yesterDay. I was happily posting on the 'Downs when I realised that the power meter on my laptop was going down instead of up. Upon closer inspection I found that the power cord wasn't charging it. The laptop proceeded to hibernate, with me watching helplessly.

The battery I am running on now is a spare I just found, but I don't think it has more than 2 hours running time left. Once again sorry for not voting, and I'll try to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Must log off soon, every second typing is a second of battery power!

Thinlómien · 04-13-2007, 02:06 AM

But since you discussed it yesterDay, I feel like I should say a few words now and not save it to the post-game discussion.

My words about Legate being like a hog on laughing gas, or something like that, were not meant as an insult. I'm very sorry and sad if someone took them as such. They were meant as banter, or as a lively way of voicing my opinion about Legate's different (from the last game) wilder/crazier/more joking playing style. I am sorry if they were, or were interpreted as, offensive - that was definitely not my purpose. So my apologies to you all, and especially to Legate.

Language can be a difficult thing.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-13-2007, 05:42 AM

It was no trouble, Lommy, I didn't take it as offensive (though I didn't like the formulation much, to be honest

). Well, and yes, language can be a difficult thing, I can quite understand that. No problem with that.

You can read on the game thread what I replied when they brought it back.

In answer to questions about my posting volume -

three of my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays; hence, I'm in school from 2PM-10PM GMT those days. Fridays I have only one morning class; from then onwards I'm free ('til bedtime at about ...7 am Saturday, GMT). I can be expected to post a lot more on MWF than on TTH.
Actually, that'll only be true for two more weeks, then...THE SEMESTER ENDS!
