Splendid, thank you. I took time off work (err...quit) for back surgery/rehabilitation and now that I'll be working again fairly soon, I hope that I'm not getting myself into something that requires too much time, signing up for this as well as the Fight Club main game. (and I'm already in the middle of a game on RYM...and I have a massive Gamecube list to finish...and other things) I'll do my best regardless!

I won't believe it! In my mind you are the most righteous people in Godfearingville.

I keep reading your name as ngyokuro which is a sad reminder that I don't have any.

Yay we are full! I'll go ahead and send out roles, but the game will not start until I get back from my trip. (July 7th)

All roles should now be out. Let me know if you didn't receive one or if you have questions about your role.

Excellent. I may well need subs, so I'm glad to have you to call upon.

A shame I didn't see this before. Even though it's full, I'll go ahead and sign up for it if you end up needing another sub.

Likewise, I'm bummed I missed the original signups.

I'm back! The game will be starting sometime today, so get ready, all of you!
