I'd definately agree if you already have a hitpoints boost. Otherwise, it's up in the air.

[Tapper]

That's me.

So, do any of you have some sort of contact with Gnaw outside of the forum? Should we aim to find a replacement player?

I don't have outside contact with him. It must be serious because he's been gone so long. Do we need the game files to continue?

[Tattersail_]

Hey Morg, why do you not play a game of mafia with us whilst we wait on this game getting restarted. Blend needs numbers, and it'll be a pleasure to play with you.

[Imperial Historian]

I could get you the email address he used to sign up from the admin records, but I don't have any outside contact with him. Plus I imagine if he had internet access he would have checked in by now, so email probably won't help.

What about the personal files we keep in store? I'd be surprised if you couldn't find his phone or social security number there. Or did they perhaps not follow with the forum transfer?

[Imperial Historian]

Sssh, we don't talk about that in public

It might be worth trying to email anyway.

I was also thinking - detective style - that in some thread somewhere he posted a google satellite image of his house or something like that. We find that, and we find him!

"Hello, is this 117 Broadcast Road?"

"Er yes"

"We, er, know someone lives here, probably male but who can tell these days? He goes by the name Gnaw on our forum and was a fairly active member until recently but over the last two weeks we haven't heard anything from him and we wanted to know if he's okay"

"beeeeeeeeeeep"

[cerveza_fiesta]

Man, now that we're starting a side game I really want to finish this one.


If I had any spare time at all I would reconstruct the board myself and finish modding the game. If folks are willing to wait a bit longer, I may be able to do this later in the week, but you all have to promise you'll help me out by collecting and summarizing actions.

[twelve]

We still need Gnaw before we can finish the game unless you are suggesting a replacement player for him too.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ah shit...forgot about that aspect. Too bad we can't make contact at all. I could easily mod if he could just submit moves.

No biggie. Figure it out later.

Apparently I did not mention that every week or so I uploaded the latest svg file to the ftp site? *sigh*

Short short: medical issues + family issues --> general apathy --> let a lot of things slide --> fucked y'all over in ref this game.

I've been pissed off at the universe for a couple of months. The universe doesn't seem to care. But apparently a couple of people here do.

I apologize for leaving the game hanging. And double triple metric shit ton more for not letting anyone know that I actually was alive.

We don't care about the game, Gnaw, We just wanted to know you were ok. Sorry you've been having such issues, man. i hope it can all resolve itself.

[Gnaw]

I had been increasingly annoyed with family issues and minor medical stuff since November or so. Then I found out that minor issue was not so minor. So I threw a temper tantrum at the family issues and wallowed in self pity for the last couple of months. (The family issue actually improved with the temper tantrum.)

I'm going to have carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgery on right arm in a couple of weeks. Left arm two months later. Those are just a side thing though. I've got some spinal discs degenerating faster than they should. And nerve system issue that nobody can seem to figure out. I was in a house fire in 1998 and over the years I've come to realize that the damage was systemic and long term. My GP told me a couple of years ago that I was fun because I didn't ever have a normal side effect or virus. My body reacts to anything somewhat differently than the average and that seems to be going on in my nervous system now. And the specialists don't seem to "get" that I present atypically.

I actually had a neurologist tell me that my shoulder couldn't possibly be numb because there was no reason for it to be so and it was frankly improbable to the point of impossible that numbness could be limited to the specific area as I described. It would either be numb here and here or there and there but couldn't possibly be here and there.

Agreed with Khell wholeheartedly - I couldn't care less about one cancelled eclipse game, we were just worried about you! I hope things are starting to get better for you. We're all good listeners if you need someone to type to!

I figured that out somewhere around the third play through of Vengy's message.

I'm still a bit out of whack with the call btw. My dad plays a message, can't understand it because his hearing is crap, and then ignores it. Without telling me that there was a message at all. So I've learned to check them every few days to see if there was something he didn't tell me about. (I turned off the auto-delete and didn't teach him how to manually delete.)

Oops, I x-posted with you! I've never even heard of cubital tunnel, and the spinal discs degeneration sounds really awful. I'm glad to hear your family issues are getting better - sometimes a temper tantrum is exactly what is needed to shock the family into realizing what is happening from your point of view! Hopefully you can get your GP onto the phone with your specialists so that s/he can convince them to pay more attention? All in all just glad to have you back! Eclipse on these forums seems to be a bit cursed - first Morgoth disappearing, then Gnaw, now Twelve possibly losing his job! Maybe we need to switch to a different board game...
