Sure this indicates the first seal has beened opened; "The lamb shall break the
first seal, and there shall be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth from dicord
on the SM mailing list, and Thane and Chris shall agree on a post, and the sea
will turn to blood. The Lion shall lie down with the Lamb, but the Lamb won't
sleep very well." or something like that, I may have paraphrased a little...

Either we need to agree that the main purpose of the list is too vent about
other peoples posts, or that there is something more practical we can dedicate
our time too. As I stated in the Dune thread - a bitch about someone else's post
will bring three times more off topic mail than just letting the post wind down
on its own.

I think that the biggest problem is in fact that almost none of us are playing
right now; I haven't got a game of Epic in for the last two months now;
partially due to a lack of players and partially due to my obsession over my
15mm fantasy rules. Everyone needs to take it upon themselves to get a game up
in the next ten days, and then write about that.

By the way Chris, I've got a couple of old blisters to send to you for the
computer help. OP imperial stuff. Colen has to old eldar blisters coming to him,
but I think he just said something about moving.
