Celtic Tavern Burns Night

Any more word on who is going to do the parts that have not yet been "assigned"? ��

Assigned? Assigned? Madame, you have been sadly misinformed. You must have missed my post in another thread
in which I actually admitted I am not as of this date running the universe. According to sources best left unnamed, Wil,
Creag, and Wareyin have been similarly derelict in pulling off such a coup. The last couple of years we have relied on
acquaintances best described as folk who were not there when that didn't happen, as certainly our government would
not be involved in such operations. I have merely consulted with these folk working with shadowy organizations in dark
corners who are trained viewers of remote and/or future occurrences and then revealed who took these roles on the
date we had planned. Nay, nay, assigning would require legendary, even mystical powers, such as those acquired by
professors or school officials and other practitioners of the dark arts. If only we had such a being involved, our planning
would be done. Rumor has it such power did at one time exist in these parts, but, like Washington, this revered being
has receded from the halls of power here into well deserved rest, having declined to seize such power indefinitely. Sadly,
we can no longer rely on assigning roles and relying on the threat that failure to deliver would be forever inscribed
on our permanent record.

Well, I thought perhaps I could ramble on long enough that a mysterious caped crusader would leap out from behind a
locker and send someone to the office for failure to volunteer, but noooo...... Perhaps if we circle around a table, and,
lit only by candles infused with rare and valuable oils, bow our heads and repeat the ancient phrase "thescot, thescot,
thescot", we can somehow achieve a connection with this amazing being who may still retain the secret of assignment.
Driven by the pitiful plight of mere mortals struggling beyond their station, this renowned, nay, saintly individual may
be moved to reappear out of the mists to hand us a slip of parchment covered in ancient runes revealing how the roles
have been foretold.

Or, if anyone has a better idea......
