Convention Flashback
« on: July 14, 2011, 11:15:39 PM »
This happened this morning while I was in the elevator on my way into my office. I head one guy say to another something about needing a new GM. I wondered how bad a game master would have to be for someone to complain about him/her. Then I realized they were talking about a sports team needing a new general manager.

True story.

Pillage, then burn.

Everything is air-droppable at least once.

A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.

That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.

There is no "overkill".  There is only "Open Fire" and "Time to Reload!"

NO!

Good God, I think the Katamari thing was more than enough!  Kids running all over the place yelling, screaming, and carrying trash about.  I think it was a cool "IDEA" but I am concerned about the hotel staff, and relations with them.  (Yes, I know I'm not staff, not even close, but with everything that occurred this convention...I worry.  NVM, I'll leave that to the pros...like Avie ^_^)

NVM, Sleepy, brain not working.  Sleep now.

Dave, you misunderstand: it'd be FANTASY, not actual.  Trading players, and stuff...

I think the hotel lobby could be big enough to have a nice game of football.   ;D
