...okay, so, DHCP functionality restored, network ok, two print servers not working but the rest of the printing ok. THis is good.

However.

The feeling of "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD" that I got this morning from trying to get everything to work? Uncomfortably like what's been going on trying to keep up with my two most time consuming RPGs lately. This should not happen. Games should be fun, or at least enjoyable. They should not be a source of stress because I can't divide my brain enough ways to make it all work.

Gonna have to drop apharsites. Milliways I'm keeping, and other games like dear_multiverse, but Aphar is sucking my brain out through my nose with almost as much force as Milliways. If you are interested in a post-apocalyptic setting and would like to adopt a borderline bugnuts British soldier or a version of twoeyesonthesky, let me know, but I don't think I can play there any more if I want to keep my sanity.

And I do, so don't give me that 'sanity is overrated' stuff. I'd like to be able to write again, thank you.

(Edited to add boldface where needed.)

... 'm going to go cry, now.

I'm sorry, honey, and it really is a lovely game, but I don't even remember the last time I was able to write fic, let alone an original short story. Too much of my brain's either tied up in RPG stuff, or else I'm just running out of energy, or possibly both.

What makes Milliways better than us? *cries*

Um.

Will you let us hold your characters in the hope you'll have time again someday?

[camwyn]

Well, that's why I was offering them out for adoption, so that somebody else could play them and their lives could go on. But sure, if that's how you'd rather arrange it.

Hey, you gotta do what is right for you. What feels right for you. I know I would miss your characters if you had to leave, but dude... I would much rather you be okay than see you RP.

[camwyn]

I'm not leaving Milliways if I can help it. The game is helpful when it comes to testing characters and ideas. But I can't do two games of the same caliber as Milliways at once, and Apharsites was as absorbing, despite only having two characters and barely being there two or three months now. I'd rather go with the game that I'm long-established at and let the new one develop without me going bitter and cranky and blameful all over it.

I think I second everyone by saying "Urk...." Then by dropping to the floor and flailing for a few minutes, then composing myself and moving on.

However, You know your limits (as ya said)-
And considering that I fell asleep at the computer last night, knowing your limits is something we all should work on, we who game. ><

I know milliways however, wouldn't be nearly as fun wifout Ray and Quinn and Wells, especially for Preston. But as you've stated-RL and sanity come first.

.....And I just totally pulled a captain obvious on this.

HOORAY.

[camwyn]

Yes, dear. I'm staying at Milliways. No worries on that front.

Would it be mean to the apharsites folks if I say 'Yay!' to anything that lets you write more? Because I don't want to be mean.

See, despite that you're basically zuko's ONLY source of play in milliways_bar... dude, I'd say DUMP MILLYS and stick with Aphar. ;_; We love you, mang.

[camwyn]

Aw. I appreciate the sentiment, hon.
