Last minute prep for Intercon going on today, but I'm going to try to do one last Five Things before I head out the door for the weekend.
1. I seem to have started a groan-worthy series of "pea" jokes on the Intercon staff list. To quote
juldea, "Oh, the staff is holding up QUITE well given there's less than 12 hours 'til con! We've all just gained this obsession with peas..."
2. Excellent Paarfi-tastic conversations with
lightgamer about etiquette and his character mechanics:
1:57:39 PM Matt Kamm: If, and only if, you have a moment to discusses Dragaeran Imperial ettiquette
1:58:11 PM Lise Fracalossi: For you, my Lord Sivrontal, I find I can accommodate that long - perhaps, even, longer.
1:58:20 PM Matt Kamm: You are too good!
1:59:12 PM Matt Kamm: Now, manners dictate that it would not be meet for one to go armed into the presence of the Empress, unless, of course, one were the Warlord or otherwise a member of Her Majesty's Guard. Correct
1:59:14 PM Matt Kamm: ?
1:59:42 PM Lise Fracalossi: This is true.
2:00:16 PM Lise Fracalossi: However, should a duel be directed at you, I am sure you can avail yourself of a weapon
2:00:33 PM Matt Kamm: Ah! You have identified the substance of my inquiry precisely.
2:00:39 PM Lise Fracalossi: I am gratified to hear it.
2:00:49 PM Lise Fracalossi: Can I illuminate anything else for you?
2:00:59 PM Matt Kamm: I shall then not bring a blade of my own, but rather trust that, as I am a gentleman, one can be provided for me if I am called to defend my honor.
2:01:07 PM Matt Kamm: One other matter, a minor mechanical one.
2:01:19 PM Lise Fracalossi: Certainly.
2:01:39 PM Matt Kamm: Can [spoiler] be used in sorcerous duels also, or only for swordplay?
2:02:08 PM Lise Fracalossi: sorcery, too
2:02:27 PM Matt Kamm: Excellent. I will be judicious in its exercise. Thank you!
2:02:49 PM Lise Fracalossi: Of a certainty.
3. Pisco punch and fried calamari at Not Your Average Joe's last night. (And leftovers for lunch today).
4. That it is Matt, not me, forging through the disaster area of our basement to look for costume bits.
5. That I'm not working today (or tomorrow). Woohoo!
