I am in agreement with you, Tann. A 2-3 week break would be good for me. From here until New Years Day I'm pretty much tapped out. After that, well...
As you probably know, we're expecting number 6 here, and the due date is fast approaching. (The baby's due Jan 14, but all of our kids have come early... usually 2-3 weeks early.)
So, we'll see what the holidays bring

. You may have to NPC Alasdair until mid-Feb, which I think should be pretty easy since his main RP partner is Athena and Cor is currently leading the party.
So, a break for be good for me!

Kyle's idea for having an in-game meal is also not a bad one, giving those who have some free time to enjoy a little extenda-RP. I, however, will not be able to participate in the joyous event.
Anyway... happy holidays all!
