Yay we did great! :)

I dont know I was late with the HAs and put a poll up for people to vote on judging. LOL Since none of us were saying I was like "Do this!" Then realized it was due like 12 hours earlier...I was like CRAP! POST Post and put poll there to show I was trying. haha

We did! I'm still a bit dazzled that we got full points and I'm sooo proud of us!

I am beyond words with happiness that you and the judges labled Aodh as a native peasant .This was exactly what I was going for.

I hope the judges know that the dots under Dace's eyes are part of her natural markings! LOL Very pleased with my score though!

Okay, here some of what's going on with me: For the past week, I've been suffering with increasing pain in my jaw and finally puffiness in a out. Hard to sleep; virtually impossible to eat. I finally got back in to my dentist and there was an abscess under a brand-new crown!! It's draining now, the pain is much better, the anti-biotic is dealing with the infection. So I actually had a meal and slept more than two hours for the first time in five days!

But enough whining. I only wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring the complaints, appeals, corrections, and questions you have been sending my way. I was just a little slow. Sorry.

The appeals and complaints have now been sent to the judges, and I'll let you know as soon as possible. Now that I can think clearly, I'm checking the scores to make sure I did them all correctly.

As to questions: , yes. The riddles were 500, the RP/Mage-gift was also 500 and the bonus (which everyone got after complaints were fielded) was 100. So before the HA scores, every team had a base of 1100, since you all got everything to that point. (As I said, I'm now checking the scores, and my thanks to the spreadsheet keepers out there who keep me on task!)

Also, thanks to my beloved "Lassie" spirit, , who herds me back if I get groggy and miss something like 's entry. Thankfully, I was able to get that fixed before she showed up, and one of my judges had a good laugh over Japanese interpretations of Chinese. :D

, indeed they do, and were appreciative of how well you worked with that, since you are always going to have to consider those markings for any design for that character.

, don't be so silly, dear. You are always wonderful with HAs. Getting into this style is giving quite a few folks a real challenge. They're not used to it, and it's a lot different. Steampunk was a bit easier because we'd been through several Masquerades and a connected plot. You'll do wonderfully and rise to the challenge.

Now, I'm in the process of addressing individual complaints that don't need any arbitration but mine, and waiting for judging responses on the complaints and appeals that do. Anything from them I'll post here, and of course, the single responses are private.

Please let me know if you have anything else.

Oh no! Sounds like we've got another one for the sick corner. makes tea to share I'm very glad you're feeling better, at least. That sounds like a /miserable/ week. You take it easy, everyone here will understand (and if they don't we'll find a proper use for the tar and feathers that were overlooked when we rounded up the pitchforks). All the hugs, darling.

I'm glad you're feeling better! I hope you heal soon hugs Thanks for the answer! :D

hugs

Feel better soon and take care of yourself.

I would like to lodge a complaint that there has been no cliff yet for me to be able to finally rid myself of . :D

heal fast -snugs- after reading this I am glad I let it go and didn't send the appeal I was thinking of asking for.

Please send it! I want everyone to be able to feel free to do that! It may well be granted!!

: Lordy! You take care of yourself.

Can we all band together and do an 'intervention' with and her anger management issues with ? I suggest that we get her a Fluttershy Build-a-Bear plushy that she can hug when she gets 'testy.'

I also think that we should get Tea a Pinky Pie plushy when she is being threatened.

Of course, we need to get you a plush too because you are our leader and you need somebody to hug too.

I know there was at least a bridge to shove her off...and I'm certain there was a cliff back there a ways.

She skipped ahead over the bridge and there was a hill into town but just didn't feel right. Needs to be a huge steep cliff to the deep deep gorge that can not be gotten out of.

I always saw GreenRowan as a Princess Luna. Who is all ... "guys please stop arguing. we are being fair. I will get to you all. I swear."

but then can be all "That does it. MATH PROBLEMS! MATH MATH MATH!!!!"

so together

Hey now, cliff-shoving can be affectionate! I will totally stab those I love with great affection!

And wow, they have clothing for the ponies at Build-a-Bear? Nice.

AHAHAA. Yes.

Thank you all for your support!

And your.....oh, is that a cliff I'm headed toward? I felt a little shove...

alright.

no cliffs for you

Correction. Only cliffs with soft pillows and mattresses and all manner of cushions at the bottom.

Or steep hills. Hill rolling is fun. I mean, look at Princess Bride. Right, ?

Maybe you can request a cliff next RP...there must be a form for that....let's see....cliff diving..nope...cliff swallows..nope..Cliff Williams hey how did that get in there.... :P
