He's lucky I love him.

I'm leaving for Atlanta tomorrow for two nights, and I was chatting with Sam while waiting on laundry and handling some other adult responsibilities.

[13:18:30] <JadeNSC> Also writing some checks for some bills and hoping my phone bill comes today so I can send it off with the electric bill when I head to town later.
[13:18:42] * WorkWeazel nods.
[13:25:44] <JadeNSC> ...and cleaning out my purse. >.<
[13:26:46] <WorkWeazel> rofl
[13:27:01] <WorkWeazel> * Jade pulls out small pieces of furniture.
[13:28:20] <JadeNSC> Shut up. :p
[13:28:24] <JadeNSC> Mostly old receipts
[13:34:18] <WorkWeazel> and the occasional brick?
[13:34:19] <WorkWeazel> :-p
[13:35:05] <JadeNSC> Maybe I'll put one in there to smack you with.
[13:36:53] <WorkWeazel> snrk
[13:37:25] <JadeNSC> Yes, fear the pedastal I put you on. :p
[13:39:18] <WorkWeazel> more liek the pedestal you keep wanting to break over my head. :-p
[13:39:35] <JadeNSC> It's got a nice weight to it, I'll admit.
[13:40:05] <WorkWeazel> the pedestal? or your purse? Muahaha
[13:40:28] <JadeNSC> OK, smacking you when I see you.

Just in case you all thought I didn't give as good as I get when it comes to putting up with Sam. :p

P.S.: My purse is not really a purse. It's a canvas bag I got for signing up for the Millionaire's club at Books-A-Million. It's got plenty of space in it, enough room for me to put a couple of books along with my wallet, a hair brush, and whatever else I might need while out and about. (Books are a necessity at all times.) Even with all that in there, it's still ridiculously roomy and far more than I need. As a result, I will put a receipt in there after grocery shopping and completely forget about it because I can never see it until I go to clean out the dang thing. That's when you'll hear me say, "Where the hell did all this come from?!"

...you know, maybe I should call it my Purse of Holding.

You haven't seen me angry yet.

Dear Perspective Players of Triumph,

When going through the submission process, it is highly likely that the GM team may ask you to change a few things about your character. We do this for several different reasons, but mostly it's to prevent people from doing what is known as min-maxing or twinking, or to prevent them from unintentionally breaking our planned plot.

Should you find yourself being told to change certain aspects of your character's build and/or background, we will tell you what's wrong and why it's wrong. If this happens to you, the proper response is to fix what we have asked you to fix, or to maybe ask us questions as to what might be more acceptable. The worst thing you can do is refuse to change and tell us why we're the ones in the wrong. It's even worse for you to do this for a second and third time after we've politely explained yet again what is wrong, why it is wrong, and why we will not budge on the issue.

Let me put this another way: You are not entitled to play in Triumph. Heck, you're not even entitled to submit a character. If you show yourselves to be a defiant little pipsqueak, we will decide that you are not worth the potential headache and reject you outright.

Furthermore, telling one of the two nicest GMs on the team that he's being mean to you makes us want to put you in far less delicate hands. You only think you've dealt with a jerk. You haven't seen anything yet.

The dev team of FFRPG have not and will not make any money off this fun little game you're playing. The GMs are not getting paid for this. We all have real lives we tend to every day, and we juggle our real-life responsibilities, relationships, school, and, at least in my case, parenting. We take time out of our busy schedules to create a plot, build a world for you to play in, approve/reject characters, help characters improve, answer questions regarding rules or the setting, and we plan and run sessions. We do this because we enjoy it, not because we're under any obligation to do it, and not a single one of us has to put up with more crap than we want to. That includes bad attitudes.

I understand you want to play. I understand your eagerness. However, a little politeness and consideration on your part for what we're doing for you would go a very long way toward inspiring us to keep this campaign going and to make it more fun for you.

And for the love of whatever-deity, please wait more than 24 hours before asking us if your character has been reviewed.

Your GM,

Jade
