BY THE NUMBERS 2007

While 2007 was not as busy a year for Camelot
as 2006 was, it still was respectable in many ways.


Posts to the email list were 1280, down from the
2149 of last year and the 1748 of 2006 but still
better than our low point of 930 posts in 2005.
Part of that is because we ran 3 tournaments in
2006 and only 1 in 2007. So there were fewer match
results to post to the mail list. In July of 2006
alone we had 500 posts because of the busiest
tournament in years.


Storywise, we had a total of 76 stories posted by
14 different writers,down 4 writers from 2007.

Miniquests were down an appreciable amount from
the over 20 the year before to perhaps 6 or 7 this
past year.

We also had:
1 marriage (Robinton and Yandora) or was it 2?
DID Tyralor and Calandra marry?

1 birth (Robinton and Yandora’s child)

1 Knighting (Lucent)

and Three Balls: Valentines, MidSummer, and
Yultide.

and of course, the passing of Lady Wenndolyne.

Most of the activity was in the first half of the
year. The second half was less active and it was
hard for me personally to put my heart into the rp
after Diana’s passing. But as she’d be the first
to tell me, life goes on.

It’s a new year, a new page. We’ve already had 9
stories by 5 different writers in the Storm Watch sl
and I’m waiting for more to join in. I’ll try to get
more miniquests going and hopefully we can get
Camelot back on the right track we began on last year.


And while I've posted a lot on the genealogy blog I
posted what...52 times here last year? So I'll see
what I can do to do better with this, too!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N IN THE WINTERTIME

Well, waddya going to do? It's the dilemma of
having three weeks vacation time for having lasted
five years at the store. Use it or lose it

Since I hate cold weather I pretty much hibernate
on these winter vacations.I worked on some posts
for the genealogy blog and some stories for Cams.
I've already written three so far this year and
should have five or six total by weeks end. I had
30 for last year, most written before July when the
creative urge left me for a while for obvious
reasons. So this year my goal is to pass that.
Of course I didn't coiunt the bb posts to the BD
or the ads for the fair. Genealogy wise, I had
about 200 posts for that blog.


Other highlights of my week will include a
haircut and a laundry run. And more genealogy
research here at the comp. I've turned up some
interesting things that will never see the
light of blogdom, I'm afraid.

One of the drawbacks of winter vacation is getting
a headcold. I went to bed, couldn't sleep, so got
up started writing this again.

Think I'll see if it made me sleepy enough to
stay in bed now.

Night all!

FIRST OF THE YEAR

So,a New Year. Bout damn time, too.

It's been ok so far. Biggest news of 2008 is that
SWMBO is going elsewhere. I'm sure Diana is cheering
wildly over that someplace in the cosmos.

RP is at a slow point right now. I need to think of
something to get it moving again. I also need to get the
Muse back into the fiction gear. It's been pretty active over
on the family tree but not much elsewhere.

That's all for tonight. Got a big snowstorm coming tonight so
I need to get to bed and get up earlier to slog my way to
work.
