War on Flu! Can my body have a regime change please?

[fluffymark]

I spent all weekend fighting Evil! And losing. Meh! Well, that’s if evil is defined as sore throat, coughs, sneezes, headaches, stomach pains, fever and a horrible rash. Which is certainly EVIL! Yes, folks, I’m STILL ILL and this upsets me. Wah! Can someone wish for me to get better soon? I’m far from being the only ill person (many get well wishes to all other ill-suffering peoples out there). Much as I’d love to blame verlaine (as I do for EVERYTHING) for this horrible evil illness I have a strong suspicion that certain kissing activities the other weekend may be the real source. I just can’t recall who I kissed! Ooops! *halo*

Huge thanks and much love to doseybat who came visiting bearing food and juice and tissues on Saturday, and watched The Cat Returns with me. I was going a bit nuts being trapped inside on my own, and wasn’t feeling at all happy with myself.

And yesterday, despite feeling terrible and coughing everywhere, I just needed to get out of the house. Screw that to staying in! I went to the Pembury, where there was not just the usual delicious cherry beer, but also lots of lovely people playing board games! I’ve found a new game I love - WAR ON TERROR. One of my favourite board games when I was a child was Risk. See, I had desires for world domination at a very young age! *evil cackle* Anyway, War on Terror is like Risk but with Nukes and Terrorists and you’re fighting over oil! It’s really very silly and very fun indeed. You get to spin the “axis of evil” to see who gets to be the EVIL PLAYER. And the Evil Player has to wear the EVIL HAT! Yes, this game has an EVIL HAT! How fab is that? Sadly, despite all my best attempts I completely failed to get to be EVIL. I’m going to have to play again, just because I want to be EVIL! To this end I have challenged antipodienne to a game at 4pm on Sunday at the Pembury. Who else wants to join us? (I think we'd be looking for 2 more players)

*sniffle* *cough* Wish for me to get better soon, please? I’m sure I’m over the worst of it now. I sure hope I am! There are several of you I wish to see SOON, and I will once I am well.

You're going to be the Pink Menace again?

Assuming the pub isn't crazily busy I'd like to play again.

[fluffymark]

*nods* The Pink Menace will make a comeback, and this time get it right! :)

It appears we missed one important rule last time we played, which would probably have changed the game quite a lot: terrorist units must be at least as large as the development they are attacking (http://www.forumsvibe.com/thewaronterror/viewtopic.php?t=204&mforum=thewaronterror). This would have made, for example, attacks on cities deep in "friendly" territory much less likely - or at least, much more expensive for the empire funding the attack.

(I don't think we missed any of the other rules from that list.)

[fluffymark]

ooooh, that makes a bit more sense! I thought those little terrorist vanguards were a little too powerful for how much they cost.

EVIL HAT!

It is genius!

[fluffymark]

Well, it's a EVIL BALACLAVA really, but it's still genius! :)

I am scared by the picture of doseybat" wearing it.

[fluffymark]

Oi! That's no limerick! Give me more limericks! :)

Get better soon, old sport.

I am feeling pretty damned groggy myself this morning, but that's mainly to do with a succession of drinks with Dr Jarrett, and sleeping very badly.

[fluffymark]

Hopefully you don't have the evil, and it's just a hangover for you. I'm beginning to feel somewhat better today, which is a relief! :)

[feanelwa.livejournal.com]

Oh! oh! I might be in London on Sunday and if I am this is a yes, though not for 4pm maybe later than that, but if I'm not it's a no.

[fluffymark]

oooooh! You'd be most welcome! Let me know if you are, and what time to expect you. Last Sunday there was another table of lovely people with exciting games going on for those too late for the War on Terror game, so you don't neccessarily have to be there for 4. It'd be fab to see you.

Argh - I'm afraid Sunday has become Saturday, so I can't come and play world dominaton - sorry!

[bluesbell.livejournal.com]

Aww, poor Mark! Get well soon. *hugs*

[fluffymark]

*smallsmile* Thank you! Am feeling a little bit better today! Hooray! :)

[gothic-violin.livejournal.com]

wish you much better and a swift recovery. X hugs.

[fluffymark]

Am already feeling a little bit better. Thank you! :)

If you can't recall who you kissed, it seems reasonable to assume it was verlaine.

[fluffymark]

Robert, that sort of assumption is just dangerous. I mean, it might be true, but that doesn't make it right. What kind of slapper do you take me for? :P

[fluffymark]

Oooooh it'd be good to see you again. Let us know if you're going to turn up! :)

[yvesilena.livejournal.com]

Waah! *cuddles* Will wish for you to get better on the first star I see tonight :)

[fluffymark]

*loves you*
