[Open] ====> Eighis: Flip your shit

[notyouraigis]

No. You will not flip your shit. You will not freak out. You will not panic. You will remain perfectly calm. You don't even have anything to freak out about anyway. Although Arinna hasn't been answering when you try to troll her. Your last contact with her was when she gave you your copy of the game, and you haven't heard a word from her since. It's not too worrying. After all, it hasn't been that long since your last contact. You'll start worrying when it's been a perigee since Arinna last answered your trolling attempts. Or when giant flaming rocks start falling from the sky. Which ever is sooner.

You suppose that you could pass out copies of the game in Arinna's stead. She probably wouldn't mind.

[notyouraigis]

|'m not bothered by |t.
|f |t were ^nyone else push|ng the |ssue, |'d be p|ssed.
but you're ^ spe<|^l <^se.

not mu<h.
when ^r|nn^ h^<ked the g^me, |t seems th^t she negle<ted to f|nd ^n |nstru<t|on m^nu^l to go w|th |t.
but ^r|nn^ d|d g|ve me s o m e |nform^t|on before | lost <ont^<t w|th her.
for the s^ke of brev|ty, let's <^ll the one enter|ng the g^me the " <l|ent pl^yer ", ^nd the one ^ss|st|ng the " server pl^yer ".
| do know th^t when the <l|ent |s |n the pro<ess of enter|ng, the server pl^yer |s gr^nted some level of <ontrol over the <l|ent's env|ronment.
^lso, on<e the server |s f|n|shed ... server|ng, | guess
then they would be the next to enter the g^me.
so on<e you ^re f|n|shed w|th n|kk^l, then e|ther m^ndy^ or myself w|ll server you.

...
| w|sh | h^d ^ better phr^se th^n " enter|ng the g^me ".
