I had a really, REALLY, bizarre dream last night.

It was really long and weird, but one bit was to do with the Downs.

A friend and I were running away from some crazy person and we went to the train station in Parbold. The road barriers came down and we looked to see which direction the train was coming from. But no train came. What did come was a small silver car-like thing being driven by Nogrod. Every so often it sent up small fireworks. We were worried that this would attract the attention of the crazy person. But when my friend asked about the car thing, I just said, "Oh, don't worry, it's just someone from the Barrow Downs." and that was that.

I think I need a lie down.

No, but there was an interesting scene where we were on a train and the crazy person was banging on the window trying to get in. But then some bank managers came along and sorted it all out... Yes.

Well I must admit I'd like to try "a small silver car-like thing". It would be cool indeed!

And sending fireworks as it goes?

(even if I'm opposed to cars in principle - at least when it comes to people like me who do live in a city and not in a suburbian nightmare).

So there was the train in the end... Well that's normal. But bank managers as the heroes of your dream saving you and your friend? Ever thought of trying the couch or getting rid of your loan a.s.a.p.?

My conscience came haunting me.

I had a dream in which I got a half-worried half-nasty sms from Aganzir, saying that Leggie and Noggie were writing narrations for my WW. Some other players too, such as Ka, wanted to write their death narrations themselves. (And I know that Lommy would also join them.)

After that I got a postive rep from morm for this. He told me that my narrations in this game are slightly better than in the first game I modded, but that getting 21 from a 20-sided die is physically impossible. I think he even added a link to some website where it was explained.


Don't forget the narrations, but don't worry either. I'll bring it to a more suitable finish when I find the time which is soon. The feel of the game might be already dissolved, but I have some crazy ideas which I want to use.

Volo, if it's any consolation I enjoyed all your narrations, especially my own. I thought they were hilarious.

Thank you! I like them too and it's not a matter of that. It's just that there is too much stuff going on and though I'd like to write narrations, I have to get other stuff done first.

Well I have a small silver car like thing ... my car in fact ... which someone criticised me buying even though I live in a public transport blackspot ... but I don't like the sound of the fireworks..
