109: Rules of engagement

If you had tried to buy book 1 or 2 from the Lulu.com website and couldn't find them, you can try again - they've solved the problem with their website. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you experience any more problems.

Are you still waiting for prints from me? Sorry! (holidays, hurricanes, locusts, insert-excuse-here etc. etc.) I'm sending out a bunch on Monday and I hope that they'll be with you soon.

DARKFALL PREVIEW!

Here. Part 7 is up.

Many thanks to Corrado for telling me about the bizarre world of hardcore rolepayers' pre-arranged pvp. I made up the rule about the pointy hats but the rest is true (well, they aren't called L.A.M.E. either). Other fascinating rules include emoting metallic noises if you are wearing plate, pretending that you haven't seen a guy sneaking on you if the characters' line of sight is blocked, announcing your intention to attack someone by shouting "Halt!" or "You're under arrest!", stopping before running through someone if the game has no collision detection, and so on. And I bet that you thought that I was making this shit up!
