Did manage to hop on last night for what was to be Avocet’s fairwell Monday Munchies/CoX appearance. No sign of him, but Ho Ho and Peep and Ginger Snap and (briefly) Bear Claws did get some Striga time in — until (a) folks had to hop off to deal with character-booting brouhaha, and (b) Freedom started mapserving. So folks went off and soloed or did other stuff.
Doyce speculates whether — given changing schedules and interest and involvement — the Hostess Heroes (or Devils Food, for the two times I’ve seen them play) have much future. I hope so, given that they’ve been a light way of enjoying some teaming with good people, but the numbers have been dropping and, honestly, I’m not so dedicated to Ho Ho (or tanking) that I’m going to out soloing or duoing with
her. So we’ll see.
I was there for about an hour. Otter Pop signed in, but didn’t respond to my greeting. CoH crashed a bit before 6PM Pacific (after a really weird error message about how it had almost crashed, and would crash if I clicked Yes and might crash if I clicked No), and I decided not to log in again if it meant starting over on the Oranbega mission I had been soloing, which seemed likely as I knew you folks had holiday stuff going. (That’s the second-longest sentence I ever wrote!)
Frankly, the HH was all that kept me in CoH for the last couple of months. Lately, though, it hasn’t been the same. Gone are the days when we had so many players on that we had to split into two team. Last week, only two of us showed up. And, given that I was starting to annoy people there, too… Well.
I’ll probably pop in tonight to say goodbye on the OOC channel.
Sorry, thought that I had. I was trying to to the dead grind to 19 so that I could replace a stack of red-enhancements without becoming suddenly useless mid-mission. Once I looked up again, you had logged.
My fault. I’m very sorry.
It’s too easy when playing a non-verbal character to speak even less in team/sg chat.
Obviously you need some “/em chitters excitedly/sadly/angrily” keybinds … 🙂
No, I need a proctologist to help fix my HUA problem.
I should have said this to Avo in a more timely fashion, such as oh…. last night.
I’d hang my head in shame, but given where it is…. I’ll just slouch.
Don’t beat yourself up. There are plenty of other people always more than willing to do so for you.

I’d make poor kindling anyhow.
