GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I have a friend who might be interested, but she said she'd defer if there is an existing Buffista who wants the spot, since she's not a member here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's been open a couple of days. If anyone was itching to jump in, I'd say they've had time to do so. I don't think she'd be stepping on any toes if she signed up.

Two questions. First, does she have any familiarity with the game? It's no deal-breaker, just lets me know how much support she might need.

Second, commitment level. Ideally, if people check in at least once or twice a day, the game should keep moving pretty smoothly. Is she ok with that?

Our wings are not tired

Has anyone poked MM to see if he will join us?

Amusingly enough, she got my email upon returning home from playing the game in-person with some friends.

Second, commitment level. Ideally, if people check in at least once or twice a day, the game should keep moving pretty smoothly. Is she ok with that?

I mentioned in my email looking for players that it will require folks to check the thread at least once a day.

I'll wait for you guys to poke MM (though one questions the wisdom of poking a man with a death ray) and if he's not interested, ask her to come on down.

Those in the know, is MM's listed email address current? There has been pokage, and I'm waiting on a reply.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Kalshane, I haven't heard anything back from MM, so if your friend would like to join in I reckon we have a place for her.

Okay. I will let her know.
