To update, I do have a keyboard for my tablet (I'm using it to write this post, in fact), and it works remarkably well. So, I will be able to post while I'm away, but obviously, won't have much time to post in.

Enjoy! There's some awesome stuff here on the east coast. Of course, as an east coaster, I'm a little biased. :;

Apologies, catching up on work that was set aside for last week's conference. Much more active this weekend coming. Smile

by **Reader** Fri Nov 25, 2016 6:23 pm

Party tonight, posting tomorrow.

Since when do I do things on a Friday night?! Rolling Eyes

by **Reader** Sat Nov 26, 2016 7:08 pm

Heading to a colleague's 40th, in a rare "two evenings out in a row" break from posting. Sorry!

Almanac hopefully updated with Story 3 event list tomorrow.

by **Reader** Sun Nov 27, 2016 12:53 am

Sleep. Some posting in the Velaryon skirmish tomorrow hopefully along with official event schedule for story 3.

by **Reader** Sun Nov 27, 2016 9:36 pm

Sorry, my wife wanted to watch Looper (which was good)! Will try to get an update in for the Velaryon combat, lots of posting and organising today to set the scene for story 3.

I've just been made redundant, so I'll need a day or two to unscramble my brains.

Now, this isn't a disaster - I've got work until the end of the year, and I'm pretty confident I can find a better-paying job within a commutable distance within that time (I have good experience in a high-demand industry), and even if I can't, I have decent savings. So, I'm going to be alright. But for right now, I can't focus on the game.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Mon Nov 28, 2016 2:11 pm

That sucks on many levels. Best wishes and good (job) hunting.

by **Reader** Mon Nov 28, 2016 2:14 pm

Best wishes Daveth, hope somethings comes up swiftly.

Game will be waiting for you, you can back fill events as desired so don't let this be a source of stress! Smile

Ouch.

It may not be a disaster, but that still really stinks. I'm sorry to hear it, man, and good luck getting things worked out.

Sorry to hear that, Daveth. I hope you get something good soon. We'll be here if and when you're ready again.

Best of wished. Life sometimes can rear its ugly head, the good thing is that most our players keep getting back up after getting knocked down.

I will be away from November 31 to December 9, I get to relive fun memories in the middle east as a civilian contractor now doing logistics in very fun places. At least Iraq dirt makes my old combat tan boots look new Smile

by **Baelon Drakeson** Tue Nov 29, 2016 5:50 pm

Stay safe and have... fun?

Good luck, stay safe, and watch your six.

by **Ereth Redwain** Tue Nov 29, 2016 6:08 pm

I´m a civilian that does computer stuff with logistics now, so if I get in danger than shit went really bad lol. It's just 10 days, it might get shorter if everything goes smooth, we just take 2 days to get our stuff setup and two more days at the end to pack up and say bye bye. It is fun to see tanks getting air dropped and rolling the moment they hit ground, hope to see that again.

We got security to watch our six, but you know you always need to have something nearby in case something does happen. Thank you for your good wishes.

by **Lady Corrine Marsten** Tue Nov 29, 2016 6:16 pm

I hope it goes well!

I'll be on a jolly to Liverpool tomorrow, and travelling back on Thursday, so my posting may be erratic, but I expect I will have plenty of time to periodically check in and post. At the very least on the 7 hour journey there and back.

by **Ereth Redwain** Tue Nov 29, 2016 6:20 pm

I want to go to Liverpool! Have fun in your trip! One day I will go there.

by **Ser Jorah Holt** Tue Nov 29, 2016 6:25 pm

Stay safe Ereth and have a good time Corrine

by **Loreia** Tue Nov 29, 2016 8:25 pm

Work hard for the money, man!

Good luck man! Dang just when things were getting interesting too! It's gonna be scary not having you around to dictate your awesome plans for our house. Maybe see you return around Christmas break for a few posts?

by **Daveth Coldbrook** Wed Nov 30, 2016 12:32 am

Oh, no, I should definitely be back before then. I need a few days off to calm my head (only got to sleep gone 4:30 in the morning last night), then I'll be back. I may be posting less, as I'll need to be job-hunting as well as everything else, but I'll be back in some form soon enough.

by **Gwyneth Drakeson** Wed Nov 30, 2016 1:44 am

Agh, I just realized I forgot to post here!

Good luck with your search, Daveth! I wish I could provide a reference, but future employers might be less than impressed with knowing you're a capable Westerosi scholar and an able hand at managing a noble House! Smile

by **Luecian LongBow** Wed Nov 30, 2016 1:47 am

Best wishes to both you guyes- Ereth with his business trip and Daveth with the job search! Very Happy

And that just cracked me up...it's an impressive reference to be sure!
