In your face Dolohov, you Lupin killer. But what’s up with the unforgivable curse? Aren’t all our souls for shit now? ---

I thought you were allows to use an unforgivable in wartime. At least the Avada. Not that I’m comfortable with it. What I WOULD be comfortable with is some firewhiskey. ---

Yeah, Unforgivables are still bad. Sectumsempra isn’t an Unforgivable last I checked, though, which always seemed weird to me: as far as I can tell the AK is a very quick death whereas every other way to kill people is, well, unpleasant. :eek: ---

Upon review, I have noticed that I missed an “edit” during Day One. If I’d seen it, I would have issued the only warning of the game. So, I’ll do that now: **Here is the only warning on “editing” in the entire game.** **DO NOT EDIT POSTS. EVEN IF I DON’T IMMEDIATELY NOTICE ANOTHER ONE, I WILL GO BACK AND MOD KILL YOU AS SOON AS I DO.** ---

Apologies all for my non-participation, my wife went into hospital on Monday and I’m now a dad! Earlier than I expected and I now suspect I won’t have much time to commmit to the game. It would be best if a sub replaces me. I was looking forward to playing but can’t say that I’m upset to be leaving it under the circumstances! ---

> [@ShadowFacts](#): > > People just have no commitment these days :rolleyes: what he said. i mean if you are lucky you just have to deal with them for eighteen years. and if they don’t get a full ride to college toss in another four. and if they decide to go to grad school add at least another two. and then they end up with a masters in pottery making or some such nonsense and move back in. except by that point they have developed this intellectual attitude that is both confusing and, to a great extent, infuriating. so yeh, whoop do doo. i’ve done it twice already and have two more to go. wouldn’t change a durn thing except maybe have one more. congrats and enjoy. and if it is not too offensive, could i ask if the newest **coldphoenixette** is an innie or an outie? ---

Well, my excuse isn’t nearly as good as _his_. Sorry, folks, for my absence during Day One. I am on vacation, and while I expected to have unfettered Internet access during the trip it took several days to get everything properly configured and I’m just now able to access the game from anything other than a Droid. I will catch up on reading this evening and be fully participatory beginning Day Two (assuming I am not killed before then). ---

Excuses, excuses. Admit it, you just got stuck in the death eaters’ lair and couldn’t find your way out. 🙂 Seriously, though, glad you’re playing. ---
