It was the typical ECC Convention... Lives were lost Ships destroyed Souls traded for WMD Appearance of an Elder God Marriage proposals Appearance of a Saint The new guy comment "You guys are so insane" (a rough paraphrase) No sleep, too many sheep The customary beating of TomB into the ground (Lunch Money and a drive by sheeping) Another very successful weekend!

I find myself strangely depressed AND elated, one for envy, the other for sharing the joy vicariously. I can hardly wait for Jon's report. While I've always admired the strange British humor in many game reports I've seen, I can hardly wait for Jon's reaction to Con Queso et al! The_Beast

> While I've always admired the strange British humor in many game I neglected to mention Roger Livingston East's fate. He attempted to herd the Fair Maiden Amelia Sheep but was not sufficiently persuasive, so she squealed "Unhand me, you *brute*!" (thanks to Jon D, voice talent for Amelia) and scampered off. All the other sheep in the area converged on Roger, who broke. He fled through the village, pursued by half a dozen angry sheep. Then he ran into the middle of another group of sheep, apparently intending to lose himself in the crowd. It didn't work. He was flocked (sheep equivalent of "mobbed"), with about ten sheep jumping up and down on him. JonT's reaction to FMASheep was "That was the silliest game I've been in for...(long pause)... quite a while."

I don't see how anyone could get upset over an event that never happened. Oh, and I now understand why the event last year didn't happen. I have understanding in the way that H.P. Lovecraft's protagonists gained understanding just before being fed as a snack to an elder god. Nick Kahlua [quoted original message omitted]

As the person who definitely didn't oversee Roger's sheep immolation, I would like to think (or is it not think?) that Roger was happy at the end as the long pork filling to what may have been the world's (or that world's, at least) largest lamb roast.
