It turns out that Brad and Katie made separate reservations for themselves, and Jim and Jenny are already in at their table. With Matt, Eric, and Holly dropping out, that means my reservation looks something like this: Taki Karen Art Shane & Chris Frank & Susan Joe & Kori Joe’s Brother W...

Okidoki, that's Jared and Marie in plus Blondie and Bekah. There's only one spot left by my count, but I can likely get more space if we need it. Art, I'd like to purchase the tickets ahead of time, but it's not necessary. If people want to start coming up with funding and getting it to me, I'll ven...

Heads up folks, I've got the info. The New Year's Package is as I described it above, and the cost to us is $40.00 per person. I currently have first-priority reservations for 20 people, so I need to start figuring out who those people are so we can get organized. Here's the list I've got so far. If...

I've gotta agree with Doug on this one, staying in-game makes all the difference in the world. I've sat up all night on watches I knew were pointless, slept on the floor, slept in full armor, fastened my sword to my arm, and tied myself to a door on more than one occasion all because that's what my ...

Travis: Craic Wisely is booked for New Year's Eve, the only thing I'm waiting on is what sort of package the Rose is going to be offering and what kind of deal I can get for our troops. Art: If we have as many as I think we're going to have, that may be the best place for us. The manager hinted that...

Provided the rates are reasonable, I'd like to claim one of those rooms.

Ha! You must have beaten my post by like two seconds, Katie!

If people don't want to do a group hotel thing, I'm sure other crash-options can be explored.

Oh, and since most bars are open till 4:00am on New Year's Eve, Weso had mentioned possibly getting a hotel room nearby. Just another thing for folks to consider. Mayhaps a group rate could be negotiated there as well.

This New Year’s Eve Craic Wisely is playing at The Black Rose in Grand Rapids. I’ve been in contact with their General Manager, and we’re working on setting up a group special for our little troop. Apparently the owner is still deciding exactly what sort of package they’ll be offering that night, bu...

If you have enough people to do the work and enough influence to make it happen, why can't you do it? Because you're affiliated with other people who are already doing things? That doesn't scan. I have no problem with. What I want, which is what happens in reality, is for organizations as they incr...

Let's forget about widgets and the like for a moment. Under the current rules, it takes a certain number of people to manage a trade route through an RGO, and those people have to possess a minimum number of support points to do so. No problems so far. The problem comes when the limiting mechanic ki...

Once again, we're running into problems with the balance between the mechanics of the system and the perceived realities of the world. Mechanically, it currently makes no sense for people to overstaff an RGO. Once you have enough people to maintain your level and enough points to bring in your route...

There are some people within Haven who have the ability to divorce their 21st Century minds from that of their characters and uphold the sort of loyalty that made medieval power work; but there are many who, either by their own disposition or their character's, do not answer to that sort of authori...

I've been around Haven for a few years now, and as someone with a measure of political perspective I'll offer my two cents on some of the issues I've seen here. First off, resources have nothing to do with power in this game. They are an end product of the political process, and due to the nature of...

I'd be fine with Reid's suggestion.
