January 2012 ToH Appreciation Thread

[Former-GM-Glyph]

The NPC attaches the timers to the GM who uses it to start the Wave. If they DC at all, the timer gets broken and all hell breaks loose.

I was not aware of the fact that the timers were attached to me until after we started looking into what caused it. Yes, we had to get Pandora to assist us with this, had to explain what happened to her, and Circe tried to ease the pain by hosting a small trivia event while we looked into it.

And all the while we're getting abuse over the fact that something occurred beyond our power and we were taking some time to try and fix it.

And Shinigami, I don't have access to the code at all, I didn't write the code, and have not been at liberty to even read the script for Trial of Heroes. The only information available to me as a GM is how to run the event if nothing goes horribly wrong.

Will there be changes if this happens again? Well yes, now that we know what the issues were.

Am I going to apologize again on the forums? No, already apologized in game and don't see a reason to do so again.

Do we GM's need to put up with an hour straight of abuse for things beyond our control? No, we shouldn't have to put up with that.

Do I have anything else to say? Just one thing for this thread.

Shit happens, get over it.
