[War_ooc] Some discussions we need to have, right now

[Ian Martell]

Fair enough John,

I am here. I am *trying* to post. Except that it's been an exceptionally 
busy time for me, but I am still in and still very interested in being both 
a player and a GM. I am working on scheduling so that I can have some time 
to post and get more involved in things.

PS Chris and Mike, what's going on re: the Beijing Conference post, as I 
said before it's really just hanging there after Nemerenko's last comment.

Anyhow, WRs I think are vital, they certianly help me get motivated, yeah, 
yeah it's hard to tell when I am motivated. =) Anyhow I think they fine as 
they are.

That's all from me, with luck and a lack of nitpicking on my part, I should 
have a couple of posts out tonight.

Ian
