I meant to comment on this last week but forgot.
The merry go round over on Starchat continues. An op/rp
at the Broken Dagger noticed someone kept using one of her
nicks and had to use the "ghost" function several times on it.
And then was k-llined by jinxi for doing something anyone with
a registered nick would do: protecting it.
The reason given? It was "hateful" to ghost someone in a
support meeting over a "camped out nick" instead of using
'guard". It did the nick owner no good to tell jinxi she'd never
used "guard" before because "ghost" apparently had always
been enough in the past. jinxi was in her usual high dudgeon
and didn't want to hear any reasonable defense, and then
klined two other Dagger rps who'd been pleading the case
of the first one in #Starchat.
As a result, all sorts of bovine excrement once more hit
the fan. The original nick owner has opened a Broken Dagger
over on Darkmyst and several others players have joined her
over there in protest against jinxi and Starchat. While the other
two rps' klines have been lifted, some sort of attempt to get the
first one's lifted has failed and the whole situation has caused
even more trouble between players and ops in the Starchat
Dagger. One of the Founders stepped down and was replaced
by the Founder who took the channel the last time jinxi's wrath
fell upon the channel. It seems to have calmed down a bit
now.
I think jinxi won't be happy until she has an rp-free network.

BEDTIME FOR BONZO AGAIN
Another night where I zonked out early and got online
later than usual.
Rp is in one of those lulls again where rl pulls folks off and
sls seem to sputter. I'll see what I can do to kickstart it again.
And I still have to finish the next part of The Wyld story dealing
with the fire salamander.
There' s also the genealogy blog to work at too.
Anywho… off to bed. Day off tomorrow, aka laundry day.
Rah!

I DON'T KNOW
Sometimes I sit here in front of this machine thinking even after
I've signed off rp for the night and should really be in bed asleep
and I sort of absorb things and try to see some plan.
I gotta tell ya. If there is one, I don't see it. Or it's just such a
screwed up farce that it escapes easy notice. I'm not talking
about the stuff going on in my own life. I come from a loing
line of schmucks that consider keepig a roof over our heads
and our stomachs full major lifetime achievements.I learned
at a very young age not to expect too much out of life for
myself and it's kept me sane all these years.
It's what my friends have to deal with that makes me
wonder sometimes just who the heck is in charge of Life
as we know it and why Whoever it is can't get it right in
the first place.
Now another friend has to deal with a bad hand. I know
she will beat this and I intend to insist she does.
But dang..what I would give for five minutes with the
Powers That Be to give them or He or She a piece of
my mind!.

THIS N' THAT
Ok, just a quick post for tonight,
George Jr is sleeping. Kramer is about as shaky as
the character he was named after, and George Sr
is back at bat.
I knocked out a new "The Wyld" installment tonight
which was Part 7 of the series but also the first of at least two
about a fire salamander. I also took the chance to revisit the
village of Penally in the story and Brother Llwyld will make a
brief appearance in the next part.
I'm redoing my genealogy blog on the new beta blog format
and transferring the content of the old blog over to the new.
The car is hurting and I have been taking the commuter train
to work for now.
The wolves still bay at the door.
And like a dumbass Eveready Bunny, I keep chugging
along.

THE WANING LIGHT OF SUMMER-AUGUST SL SUMMARY
August began with the firs hint of another problem that
faced Camelot, as TomTom told LoreMistress about the giant
bat creature terrorizing the outlying villages.
Skye and Ian teased Squire Kylan a bit over the letters he and
Arista exchanged that resulted in the decision to end the marriage
arrangements made by their parents.
On the other hand, Master Robinton was wed to Lady Yandora
in a ceremony conducted by Lord Corwin and Gabriel Morninglord..
A great feast was held afterward in the firehall.
Blackthorn learned of another area now cleared from the Wasteland
as Sir Maick Symons visited Camelot.
Ian tried in vain to persuade the two changelings taken prisoner to
leave their Fae master and return to normal human life. After Lady Ahmi
caused one of the prisoners to crumble to dust, Ian let the other one go
free in the hopes the changeling might eventually change his mind/
A young widowed mother named Shayla arrived in Camelot with her
infant son Tristram seeking shelter from her brother in law. Lord Lucan
Trevayne. Blackthorn intervened on her behalf, writing Trevayne a
letter requesting the restoration of Shayla’s inheritance. Although he
complied with Blackthorn’s request, Trevayne continued his plotting to
rob Tristram of his father’s title and estates.
A guard brought word of one of his fellows disappearing aboard the
deserted ship “Gaudy Grizelda”. Blackthorn led a boarding party that
included Lord Corwin, Kyrie, Glofin, Tyralor, Daedalus, LoreMistress,
Lyrick,Tobias and Talen Sandreks on to the ship where they discovered
a spiderlike being. After pinning the creature to the wall the adventurers
sunk the ship and drowned the spiderthing.
Afterwards, Ian had nightmares about the incident, but perhaps he
was not the only person in Camelot with troubled dreams of late.
Incidents of Wild Magic continued. Two rush harvesters, Ellis and
Collen, survived an encounter with Will o’ the Wisps in the marshes.
Palmer left Camelot and ended up as Beron’s “guest” in an ancient
Roman villa deep in the heart of The Wyld.
Tobias was unable to obtain any help from Loremistress in preparing
for the final encounter with his demon mother.
Even as plans were being discussed with the merfolk about hunting
the serpent, Ahmi had her sister Adena lure the serpent closer to Camelot
with her song.
Squire Kylan spent an eventful night in an inn as a mysterious observer
watched his behavior.
Beron visited Camelot and warned that Ahbel and Ahmi had something
planned for Samhain (Halloween)
Curious as to why the Fae would have stolen Bran’s Cauldron, Ian and
several others went down to Camelot Below to ask Hugin the dwarf some
questions about the Cauldron’s repair. Making the trip were Sa`gruund the
Dwarf Ghost, LoreMistress, Squire Lyssa, Squire Lyrick, Kyrie, Sir Glofin,
Lord Corwin, Anki and Bayla Vin. While the group was talking with Hugin a
redcap raiding party attacked and took several dwarves prisoner to take
to Ahmi who needs information about the Cauldron as well.
Several more newcomers arrived in Camelot. A warrior named Anselm
came, attracted by the reputations of Camelot’s fighters.
Catalina, the daughter of an old friend of Blackthorn’s from Castile came
and departed shortly after an argument with Anki and Ian.
Elki, a small Fae creature called a pillywiggen became attached to Bayla
and had a territorial dispute with Puhk over Bayla’s hair.
Mace teased Nobly over her supposed “crush” on Bayla.
Master Pinkus’ new body turned out to be that of quite innocent looking
young man and Blackthorn was not pleased with Bayla and Kalaris over
this new development.
TomTom brought the survivors of an attack by the Giant Bat to
Camelot and plans were made to hunt the creature.
And as the month drew to a close, Tyralor suggested that a messenger
be sent to the House of Dreams with an invitation to discuss the tensions
between Camelot and the Fae.
So once again Camelot faced challenges to its people.
Only time would tell if it would triumph over them.
