I cannot believe you got 29 people to vote in this farce of a poll.

That said, I am flattered and think its pretty cool ... though the level of mistrust is astonishing. ALFAns always were pretty smart though ...

Wait, are you saying that you actually want that do happen? Don't you remember what they say about power and absolute power? Think of our poor PCs! They have been living the good life and are in no way, shape or form prepared for the havoc that would be wrought upon them.

Can we at least get a warm-up before that happens? Like maybe Mother getting medieval on our asses for a bit first?

One of my all time fav moments was when I logged into ALFA's Daggerdale as a DM, part way through my drow plot, just in time to read a player typing in party chat something to effect of (( Mikayla logged on; we have to get off the road or log out or we're dead)). I don't remember the exact words, but it was to that effect. Naturally, I had words with the player for metagaming, but secretly (or not so secretly) I was glad they were scared.

All things considered, I actually didn't kill that many PCs (well, compared to other DMs at the time - a few around here still remember the slaughter at the Constable's tower which accounted for like a dozen PCs in one battle).

Anyway, no, I will not be picking up the DM wand anytime soon. I've never even opened the NWN2 DM client or toolset, I would not know how to do it, and honestly, after spending 2 years building the Menzoberranzan/North Underdark server, running the Daggerdale drow campaign, then the first multi-server quest campaign, I am STILL burned out on NWN DMing despite the passage of nearly a decade. STILL burned out on it.

But I like to play. :twisted:

See? See what I said about power?

Hmm. Wait a minute! While I was cheating at pie eating I bet Mikayla was offering the DMs virtual foot massages for XP! That explains three things: why they didn't notice the pie (ch)eating and why Mik cancelled her own pie cheating and her meteoric rise up in levels.

I demand an investigation!

Thank you. Best laugh of the day!

I completely deserved that one for not even needing a PG-13 rating for my post.
