Ilium RPG

k, just so you know i didnt bail on you but my computer ate ie and i have a crappy browser that supports no options for posting.. i am doing this on the library computer so basically.. i am out.. sorry but until i can work something else out there is nothing that i can do.. bah.. i'll try to come back whenever i can but uhm.. yeah

It seems we've lost two players - blackberrylust and cogenthought have both said lately they are taking a break from LJ. So I don't know how well this game can really continue without them... We have hardly any players as it is.

or rumblings of plottings...

Obviously I've got the two BIG scenes coming up on the 2 January between me and Mercertio and me and Penelope (I'm figuring that the seduction follows the blackmailing?) but that will kind of rely on lenny201 and cogenthought. What I'm not sure of is do I need him to do anything overnight or now - I've just had him go along and see Helene - meeting Aeneas on the way (if rachel2205 is willing ... but I do think it's about time brother and sister got together for a bit of a chinwag...)

blackberrylust, Clayton doesn't know about the suicide attempt does he (or does he?) can he guess? How much does he know...?

There's my posty =)

Halloween time gets rather busy around my house (then there's the three kids all hyped on up on candy afterwards).

If anyone wants to have a conversation with Faustina, I'm reachable on AIM (Lab Arc Designs) , or perhaps it could be played out through comments, even. I'd like for her to meet some people, make some friends, and so on.

Now, boys and girls, I'm grateful to all the people who posted after my last whinge fest, but there are some people who STILL haven't posted. If you don't want to play anymore, I'd appreciate it if you told me, rather than just leaving the game.

Anyway, please do make stuff happen! My hands are a bit tied at the moment because Aeneas is trying to interact with Helene (who hasn't posted!) and Sir Hector is sitting at home alone. So why not get the hunt over with and make some things happen, hm? Otherwise I guess I'll have to give up on Ilium...

In case anyone is confused, Kendrick has created a new character, as he didn't feel he had much to do with Achilles. Hopefully the Privateer will provide him with more opportunities to scheme and be generally naughty. This means that the position of Lord Achilles is open (unless K wants to keep him open for occasional play, which could be handy). Hopefully K will write a profile for his new character soon, but feel free to interact with him before hand (am looking at Helen here particularly!).

Have fun, and keep playing *cough*karennicolehelen*cough*

And I know I've been as guilty at not posting for the last week or so as the next person, but that's gotta change. Nicole, Kendrick, Bobbie, I've given you all the start to something in my last post. Let's not disappoint rachel2205...

My game is dead.

:(

Oy, you!

Yes, you.

Post!
