To avoid any special suspicion on the incoming player, let me add that Blaine has played in every game since we transfered our banner from wotmania to readandfindout, I sent him an email a day or so before reg closed and he replied that he'd just missed the deadline, as we typically lose about one third of our new players to inactivity on the first day (though those who remain typically stay on for multiple games) it seemed quite probable that a slot would open, and I asked him if he'd be interested should that occur, this was before anyone had actually hit the 72 hour mark. He replied lat night that he would and I sent back a query this morning if he would like to take over the role, if he replies yes, then I will NB him Hieshyn's role. Hieshyn's actual role, whatever it is, was not a factor in the issue, be he vanilla or a bad guy faction leader.

On the point of summary, it probably would be good if some players wrote quick summaries, for his and everyone else's benefit, especially since current posting levels and my own guesswork indicate we will surpass 500 posts for the day so I will probably open a new thread, day 1 part 2, and in addition to transferring my own data over there it would not be bad for players to have their various tables and loose summaries ready to shift too, if they feel any particular info would be better transfered or summarized to avoid referencing back to the first half of the day.
