If anybody was asking themselves what happened, I’m ok. The hurricane that was about to hit us yesterday, after slightly turning west, created some minor chaos (we’re used to that for even some rain clouds in a formation – a tropical depression) and suspended the classes for yesterday’s afternoon. The night before (Tuesday), I had assigned Aya-Tsuki and Shinigami Ninja as temporary Global Moderators in Bromf’s short absence (and mine too, probably). But yesterday afternoon at 5:00pm, some news, both good and sad came. The sun appeared from a two days hiding, and the meteorologists said the hurricane had turned to the east and wouldn’t affect the island as much as expected. The reports of heavy rains in my city went down and with a face full of disillusionment, I knew I had to go to school today and go take the big test (I wanted some rain to occur to cancel school, but the air was dry and hot, and the very white clouds didn’t want to cry on us). I didn’t post this yesterday, because I wanted some rest and time to study more. I’m writing this now under the rain that should have happened yesterday or the day before. Now that I’m back, chapter 3 will begin this weekend. And with that I want to say that the role-playing does have a central story that will begin to unravel and develop soon. Even though it looks like I planned the RP as random monster and army encounters, I had a story in mind since the beginning, and the main villains are not plain old zombies or greedy bandits, there’s much more to it than that. You’ll see soon; I’m keeping it a secret, to not spoil the fun or surprises. Secrets may unfold and the plot may focus on certain characters, but every character and their story remains important to the whole story. Without them there wouldn’t be an Army of Light, the story would be one-sided and self-centered, and the role-playing would be co-writing. On another topic, I’m thinking of making a new blog, to start anew and make it more personal and less strict on music/game reviews (that way I could just post what I feel like writing and not having to analyze the lyrics or looking for anything). I want to give more in return to my visitors (besides songs and sprites/tiles), and for that WordPress won’t help much (since it prohibits most html, and I want to give codes out for things like RNGs, calculators and other web tools, mini-radios and various widgets). No matter which host I choose there is always something missing, but I’m making a decision and taking chances (a blog somewhere else might fail). Like on every announcement I make, I want to know your opinion. What do you think I should do with the new blog? Make it on a new host or make it on WordPress and forget about giving html codes for my visitors? If you think I should keep doing it on WordPress, should I just re-do Mercenarylight’s Blog, that’s about to get 19,000 hits this weekend? Besides that, what do you think my new blog should have? Anything else you'd ant to say, note, criticize or comment about, post it below. |

You know my views, and I am back now from my short trip out of the office. You all seemed to behave while I was gone. Six hours a day on a beach looking at rocks with only a round of sandwitches, crisps and chocolate bar for sustianance is not the life for me. However the company was supurbe. |

Yeah they have. 
 At least you had good company to keep you unbored from looking at rocks, waiting for someone to notice something interesting in them.
