DOE: Now means DELAY of the Eagle
« on: February 24, 2003, 04:52:21 pm »
Those of you who frequent the SFC2.net forums got to see me whine, bitch, and complain about five fun-filled days of shoveling two fee of snow from driveways, driveways again, carports, and second-floor roofs.  Yuck.  Well, all that effort didn't stop an inevitable fact of valley life:  flooding.

This weekend I got a frantic and tearful call from my girlfriend that her house was flooding!  So I've spent a lot of time trying to save sofas, carpets, and a host of other things.  Fortunately, she had a second story that was still dry.  Unfortunately, that meant I had to carry everything up those stairs.  Who'd have guessed that a mere two inches of standing water could do this much damage?

Why am I wasting your time with these tales of personal woe?  Well, the upshot of all this means that I haven't done a $#@! thing with Day of the Eagle in slightly over a week. So to those with whom I spoke privately last week and said it looked like I'd be ready to start in two weeks:  I'm afraid it still looks like I'll be ready to start in another two weeks.

It can't possibley snow or flood anymore this winter.  Again I apologize for the delay, and I beg your indulgence.

Heh, tempting fate aren't we?

Not a worry, we all understand.  And of course we'll be patient.
Of course, just to ensure you're properly motivated, we're sending J'inn to live with you until the campaign is ready to go....



  PS - from what I gather, J'inn likes nothing better than shoveling snow, so it should work out ideally for everyone!

Umm Herr Burt?   You know how I hate to be the bearer of bad news and all.  Especially if it will simply torture another fine non-Mirak player but . . . . .

I take it you haven't heard the weather forcast.   <snicker>

Several MORE inches expected Thursday and into Friday.   Locusts due on Saturday.

  That's what you get when you allow a Romulan to run your life.

We, the peace loving Romulans, formally deny having any involvment in this difficult situation.

Well, What did you expect?

Well, when the snow melts, it tends to create flood-like situations...

It could be worse. You could have lived in Marquette last year.
They broke 300" of snow for the season. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/mqt/snow_record.html
For those of you a bit slow on the math, that's 25 FEET or over 7 meters.

whoops......sorry......I didn't mean to mess you up with all the  Earther Indian style dancing I've been practicing lately.  I looked up the style, and it seems that it was the Call for Rain dance.   Apologize to you girlfriend for me.

Then again, it probably was the Romulans....those  sneaky B##%$#$&DS!!

Looking forward to your server, shall try to wait patiently.......ahh, hell......come on already.

Talk to you soon,
