I’m still interested. Can we keep this thread active and see if we can scrape together the original players, and if not, replace those losers. Yes, I just called you losers. Losers. Note: The above taunting only applies to those NOT playing in this game. Those who chose to play are not losers. ---

Okay, I’m a loser. I can’t play. Sorry guys. ---

Can we have a recap of the people that are still going to be playing? Also, who’s going to be GM’ing this game? ---

I missed the original invite, but I am still interested if a game is still on and and an extra player is still needed. If you need a player, can you confirm the weekly frequency required for contribution so that I can confirm I can suit. I will not be able to manage _every day_ will but I can check in most days of the week. If that is OK, way cool, and a newbie player (with own copy of the game sitting on game shelf!) is game on. ---

Yer a newbie? [ears perk up] Yeah, we could use a newbie player. Since I’m an experienced player I’d be happy to give you advice whenever you need it. ---

I’m the GM. Looks like we have Munch, Flood, CapnPitt and Lemur still with us, with InvidiousCourgette replacing Hugh. That leaves RTF and Boring Dad still unacounted for. We need to hear from them or find 2 more replacements. ---

Count me in as a replacement. Oh, this is going to hurt me bad. ---

So, Mr. Corrado, we meet again. But this time, the advantage is mine! ---

> [@Lemur866](#): > > So, Mr. Corrado, we meet again. But this time, the advantage is mine! Sort of a GQ here… what’s the origin of the above “quote”? I recall it from a Farside cartoon, with a professor and a duck, IIRC, but don’t know if it’s from something previous to that. Oh, and I watched out for John “Uncle Junior” Corrado. He’s not as old and feeble as he seems. ---

> [@Weirddave](#): > > Only one more. Shibb? C’mon, you know you want to! Nah, my plate’s full enough right now. Drop a not to **Omniscient** or McG ( **ppg\_shg** ). I’m sure one of them would play. Omni’s down to one center in our other game. ---

I sent emails to **Boringdad** and **RTF** asking if they still wanted to play. We’ll see what they say. ---

Done. No response from BoringDad and RTF declined, so we’ll give the last spot to the prodigal Airman. I’ll try and get emails out tonight. ---

Maybe we’ll just bring the rugrats and lock them in EJs room. You want to come out with “the guys” to Harborside tonight?
