Really. beware them. I heard that people long thought dead return on
such a day.
Yes, folks, or at least those of you who still remember me, it's Lumina
Dragon, returned from the abyss (not THAT one) to grace you with his
presence (but not presents, although he is bringing something for you)
after what must have been over two solid years, possibly three, of absence.
You see, I found this shiny rock out in my backyard, and one thing led
to the next, and you know how THAT is.
OK, OK, what reapply happened is that first my ISP's newsserver stopped
carrying this group. Then, after months of frustrated attempts to
return, I sort of got distracted by other stuff. Every so often I tried
againl, but only now, under the prodding of one Claus Dragon, who was
armed with knowledge of what I was doing wrong and where I could find a
decent newsserver, have I finally succeeded.
So. Who's still here? Paulon? Phid? I see some familiar names - erimess,
Optician, Sammy, Lost, and I presume if I bothered to scroll down I'd
find more.
Nice to see that this place defied the odds. You guys been complaining
for years that the place was dying, and I'm gone for a while, and it's
still here when I get back.
Oh, and lest I forget, there's that thing I promised in the second
paragraph. My present.
ULTIMATE JEOPARDY VI!
A shame I can't call it "Annual" anymore, but what can I do? Those of
you familiar with the game, rejoice at its return! Newcomers, keep an
eye out for the Rules Post later today (actually, all of you should; a
refresher might be in order). I expect to start the game proper the
weekend after this coming one - the intervening time being granted to
let knowledge of the game circulate and bring people out of the
woodwork. Plus, I foresee having to refamiliarize myself with this
place, get back into the swing of things and all. And lastly, I'm sure a
10-day grace period will allow the slackers among you to study your
Ultima lore and hope for some semblance of preparedness.
Again, sorry for the long and unannounced absence - I am, after all, the
one who swore he'd never leave - and a hearty hail and well met to all
you people I left behind so very long ago.
