I still remember when the prize automation was put in. Hell, I was even GMing myself back when we had to line everyone up politely one by one. And then wait for people to actually make up their minds while everyone else behind tapped their toes impatiently, except for the small group that always sat at the back chatting until the very end.
Yup! And it's those very custom mobs that take up most of the prep work these days. And you try and make things like Gillyweed, and nothing works the way you want, and so you have to make St John's Wart instead, which, while cool, is no Gillyweed.
Gotta admit that last line is confusing me when I'm trying to work out exactly what it means, or if it's aimed at GMs, players, or past GMs, or present GMs, etcetcetc. *thick*
