The End of an Ear

[caddyman]

A little later in the day than I had hoped - largely on account of the time it took to upload the pics (torrenting at the same time, see)- here is the final post I intend to make concerning NWO: Grand Tribunal.

It has been a long time coming. I have lost track of when we started, but I think my involvement goes back six years. I joined the writing team for Thebes, and despite questioning my sanity every time since, have stuck with it to the end. Suddenly I'm not quite sure what to do; I don't have to worry about deadlines, I don't have to worry about quality and I don't have to worry about continuity.

It's been a ride and a half; there have been ups and downs, crises major and minor, successes, failures, flanges and moments of exceptional brilliance.

I am glad I was involved, I'm glad we finished it, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am very glad it's over. Ladies and Gentlemen, for the very last time, I give you New World Order Games. I challenge anyone to do what we have done over the course of five events and six and a half years. I am not expecting any takers.

Good night, and thanks for the memories.

Thanks - nice pictures. I never got time to get my camera out.

Thanks also for all the work done on the game over the years. You've seen how much it's been enjoyed -I hope that is some payment for the time and effort spent.

Just thought I'd stick a comment here and say thank you for allowing me to make a total hash of impersonating Micheal Kannanainos without complaint and somehow managing to avoid bawling me out for asking so many daft questions in between dragging things off at a tangent.

It has been superb.

Pictures 12 & 13, the arab in black is al-Masir.

The other chap in picture 13 with the HUGE shoulders is Mors Thetis.

No hash made, Barney.

I thought you did a great job considering what Michael was up against. You made the part your own.

I had no idea that you hadn't played Michael before ... good job!

Re: Thanks

[bitters-ashes.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've played him more than once (three times now). The thing is, I'm not the original physrep, nor do I approach things in the same way.

Cheers for those pictures, they capture pretty much all that was going through my head at the time. That is one fight I won't be forgetting in a hurry :)
