I'm afraid I have bad news.  I've been having a lot of problems with my computer and finally decided I had to take it in to the shop.  I went in as soon as they opened, expecting it might be in the shop a few days.  Hah.  Two weeks!  If I had known, I would have copied all my screenshots and the two updates that are written in order to post them, but I had no idea it would be so long.  So I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. Please don't forget about us in our absence.  :(

Oh no! Don't worry, we are all very apologetic. You might want to watch out for Wiry though. :D

Computer problems always happen at the worst times, don't they?

You're right, Magz - this is incredibly frustrating to me!  Patience doesn't come easily to me at the best of times, and when I'm excited about the next few updates - well, it's just frustrating.  We came *this close* (fingers a few millimetres apart) to finally seeing the SHU, and now I have to tell everyone to wait two weeks (which will likely turn out to be more like three, I suspect).  Oh well.  There's nothing that can be done about it.   I'm just glad I was able to get my old computer working so I can at least access the forum.

But I might find a good use for the time.  Remember the beauty contest we had awhile back, in which members contributed contestants?  I've been considering another group-participation idea.  This one would probably require more involvement from the participants, in the form of playing their Sim, carrying out certain tasks and writing about them.  Without giving away the exact nature of the idea - because it is really very much in the early stages yet - does this sound like something that anyone might be interested in?  It obviously isn't going to be happening for some time yet - probably a month or so, because when I get the computer back it's going to take time to finish up the Blood Island series and I have plans for the few episodes after that.  So I'm not looking for volunteers at this point, just floating the idea to see if anyone might be interested.  If so, I could spend time doing some planning while I'm waiting for Ben's return.

Presuming overtly GOOD and Heroic actions are not required of the Sim, I would definitely sign on for whatever it was. It sounds interesting.

That sounds like an excellent plan, and definitely a clever way of keeping those creative juices flowing while you suffer through computer issues. It's always such a shame when our Sims need new Computer!  ;)

If you decide to pursue this idea, I'd be more than happy to bring somebody in.

Yeah, I do think it would be a fun idea.  It's been nagging at the back of my mind for awhile now, so I think I need to get on with planning it, and this is the perfect opportunity, while I'm forced to take a break from doing updates. 

Wiry, I think I can promise you that good or heroic deeds will not be a requirement.  We'll make that optional, just for you.  ;)

Excellent, then remember to PM me if you feel the Golden-Haired Prince of Bottles will be a good fit for your idea  ;D
