No problem and no apology necessary!!

But Jim seems to have just negated it all with this:

Well, I reckon we'll just have to adjust it. As much as I hate to admit it, if he's still writing the damn thing, it 'aint a gonna be released in less than a month!

I suggest changing it to Jan 16, 2014 now and getting used to the new timeline. Hopefully there won't be too many "I told you so's".

Well, you never know.

There had better be no "I told you so's" we were VERY clear why we are doing this.

Failure to adhere to sound security protocol has led to..., well, exactly what you can expect would happen. We do NOT give fodder to the enemy. Internal division is just asking for the barbarians to come knocking at the doors! NOW how do we get rid of them?

Self-doubt is not the mark of a true Irrational Optimist! This is a serious infraction of the rules!

The penguins are not the enemy.

(Add that to the list of phrases I never anticipated having a use for.)

AlbertaCowboy · 11-15-2013, 04:32 PM

I've got a serious case of the circus theme song stuck in my head right now!

CWatkinsNash · 11-15-2013, 05:08 PM

I just wanted to take a moment to point out... the dictionary.

Irrational Optimists - those who hope for a result despite all evidence to the contrary.

Ie, we KNEW we were probably wrong.

I also would like to point out that the IOC is an INclusive organization. All Dresden fans are welcome, whether human or penguin. Any statements to the contrary should not be taken as official.

And though it may be wrapped up in comedic gold, I'm quite serious about that last part. Let's all try to ensure that our joking around doesn't turn into anything resembling attacks on other members.

AlbertaCowboy · 11-15-2013, 05:16 PM

The only real enemies are the Nickelheads.
And the Black Council.
Um and various denizens of the Nevernever.
And vamps.
Uh hmmmm. This could be quite the list.

Let's just keep it a positive atmosphere here.

*Sigh*

As Supreme, Lady, Madame President of this thread, I say ENOUGH!!

Any and all discussion or references, past or present, about the release date of Skin Games is now suspended until I say otherwise.

Bricorn · 11-15-2013, 11:44 PM

Well, I've finished my re-read this morning, checked in here and what do I see? 2 months exactly to release. Grrrrr.

A Sidhe lady with deep indigo blue
hair had sidled up to Miss Electrical
Tape, and the two slid their arms
around each other, both staring at
me. Something inside me—and I’d
be lying if I said that none of it was
mine—let out a primal snarl and
advised me to drag both of them
back to my cave by the hair and do
whatever I damned well pleased
with them. It was an enormously
powerful impulse, something that
made me begin to shift my balance,
to take a step toward them. I
arrested the motion and closed my
eyes.

“Yeah,” I said. “Yeah, they look great,
but that isn’t a fantasy come true,
Harry. That’s a wood chipper in Playboy
bunny clothing.”

A bikini is like a barbed wire fence. Protects the property but doesn't obstruct the view.
