First of all, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, Stephen Asen. I've been at work, and then with family all day. (my parents are visiting town for my sister's birthday, which was yesterday, and we spent this afternoon at Red Butte Garden's, which had a free day in celebration of Arbor Day, in case anyone cared) You should now have a PM in your inbox, and I sent it to CountArach as well, as you requested.
I'm not sure how the guild tracks pm-ing. Does it show you as pm-ing when you're reading pm's? How about if you're switching between composing a pm and reading the thread for necessary information? I ask because I sent only 2 pm's in the time Stephen Asen is referencing (which was afternoon for me, shortly after I get home from work and the main time I have available for this game). I certainly didn't send pm's "at least 3 times." I will happily share their substance, since everyone is curious and I didn't bother setting myself to invisible.
The first was sent to CountArach, and contained my battle rating, as LittleGrizzly suggested. Unfortunately, I had somehow overlooked or misunderstood the part where Andres said we couldn't share our role in private, so I included that as well. In hopes of rectifying that, I will belatedly make public that I am a veteran samurai. Sorry for that slip.
The second was sent to Andres, and will require a little explanation. In CapoII I played a townie, and had little success getting involved in any night action groups. I felt a little bored, so one night I sent a message to Seamus saying that my night action was watching "I Love Lucy" reruns. He thought it was funny and wrote it into the night write-up, though he altered it to fit the game's timeframe. When I got my role for this game, it came with no night actions, which I worried would bore me again during night phases, so I decided to try something similar. I asked Andres' permission, and then CountArach's as my master, to court the daughter of the local castellan during the course of the game. My hope was that Andres' would mention something of it in the nightly write-ups and give everyone something absurd and random to wonder about. Unfortunately (at least for me), he hasn't seen fit to include anything about it, but I sent him a night 2 action of meeting with the girl's father to obtain his leave, and a night 3 action of serenading the girl to the able accompaniment of my biwa (this was the pm Stephen Asen would have noticed). And unless I die, I plan to continue submitting roleplay but nongameplay night pm's to Andres and moving the relationship forward.
You can ask CountArach for confirmation on the pms I sent to him (both the battle rating one and the one, well 2 actually as he needed a reminder, about the courtship). It is up to him whether he will come to the defense of his humble servant.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused, and I consider Stephen Asen absolved of his until-recently unexplained challenge.
