Well, in either case I'm regrettably throwing my hat out of the pile. As of next Saturday I'll be away on a 9-day field exercise in Saskatchewan, so my commitment for Round 2 will be impossible. Phenom, I'm calling you out. Yours would not be a battle meant for rules.

And Wyborn? Man, you know it's coming.

Apparently I can't use my mod tools in a cross-forum fashion like I used to be able to.
I'll have to read this the old way :(

For round two, would it be alright if I just copy and pasted my unused intro for it?

I have been asked to advise you that ESSDEE will be posting her judgement within 48 hours. (Hopefully.) She has two very sore and swollen hands from over-use at work. She is resting with the ice packs and should recover soon. All is otherwise good in aussieland with the lady dragon. :D
She lives in the clouds and talks to the birds...

Happiest faerie of VGF.

before friday. Being able to actually focus and read anything has been rather... rare in the last few days.

My hands are still a bit sore and swollen, although I don't have too much trouble typing now. Holding a pen, however, still requires some painkillers. :p

Judgements expected soon. I was already over halfway done when my hands turned into purple aching balloons. Not a lot left to read.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I'm pretty sure my scores will be ****. I realize now there's some problems I missed upon first drunken proof-read, and Lycrios was a little more consistent. I dare not even look back to see if the one fatal mistake I think I made is actually there.

I also realize I forgot to utilize the acidic spit. Damn. Damn.

Time was called Saturday evening. It's now Wednesday afternoon. Certainly not near a week yet. Be patient.

Well, to be fair, there had been an indication just before your post that both Kargath and myself were working on our judgements. Forgive us if it seems impatient to ask immediately following that. ;)

How are your hands now, SD? (Did you spill chemicals on them to cause this or something?)

They're good now, just ache a little if I put too much pressure on the bruised parts. Ah, I spent eight hours straight using a broom to scrub stains off balconies at the school we clean (and using some scraper thing on the end of a metal pole to pry all the chewing gum off the ground, too). It wasn't nearly so fun as it sounds. :p

I've basically finished reading all the battles, now. I just need to go back through and compare notes, tally up scores and write my post. Happyday.

Save your wrists, buy that 5 dollar liquid nitro spray for warts they advertised on TV and use that on the gum, then remove it :p

IT'S TOO LATE! NOTHING CAN SAVE ME NOW! (actually, we're all done with that until next school holidays roll around o_o)

Honestly, I sort of enjoy the lull between judgments, because I'm a lazy bastard. And I might be ****ed this round anyway, so it looks like I'll just be hosting. I'll have to do some challenges to keep myself from going back to being inactive.
