I regret to inform you that despite assigning someone to write down all the clever quotes from this game session, and despite said person handing those quotes to me after the game, and, also, despite the fact I place those quotes next to the computer so that I may post them here, something dreadful has happened.
Maybe someday they’ll be found. I might take a while. All I know for sure is that they are someplace near the computer, and might even be on the desk. Hell, they might have slipped under the keyboard and that’s why I can’t find them.
Nope, guess not. Maybe under the pile of soda cans… My, that’s a lot of cans. Who drinks this much soda? Me, right. Well, like I said, this may take a while. I just grab a soda and start digging.
Wish me luck!

Prior to this session, the character Paradox was rewritten. During this process his name was changed to Avatar. Though this name change affects the game retroactively, it doesn’t really make any difference. You see, I introduced a completely different character named Avatar in season two and by then Paradox’s player had left the game. So if you see a quote by Avatar, know it’s not really Paradox and actually is Avatar, and all of Avatar’s quotes in season one are really by Paradox and should say so. If you are confused by this, please read some of Paradox’s quotes, drink a bottle of NyQuil and call it a night.
