    I have an idea. Everyone send MASTER_OBI-DAN two PM's. Then, whenever he next logs on, he'll be sure to notice his 100+ new private messages.

    Please don't. We don't want to give the poor guy too much work. ;)

    If he doesn't reply to my PM, I'll try other ways to contact him. Be patient. :)

    Stridarious has a plan! :eek: That's indeed a reason to panic! :eek:

    j/k :p


    Seriously, mass PM's would be considered Spam, and I don't want anyone to get into trouble. ;)

    I understand the fact that MASTER_OBI-DAN has been away for some time, and rather then pile down the work load upon his return I have taken the liberty of updating the list, and adding a new thing to the bottom which may or may not stay upon his return. I would also like to take this time to congradulate the newest Adoptive pairs :D . Good luck on your newest venture together as a team! :) I look forward to the many great reports to come.
    Below is the updated Adoptee/Adopter list! ;) Please tell me if I am missing anything.

    Good news everyone! MASTER_OBI-DAN is back, and I am sure glad too. You have no idea how long that took me to make. 8-} However I will talk to MASTER_OBI-DAN and see exactly how he wants me to transfer over those codings. :)

    lol When I first read your post, Jezebel_Jedi, I was wondering what you write, because I thought (because of your icon) you are Morgaine! ;) :D

    Guess you can be put on the list, but better wait for Master_Obi-Dan answer! ;) :)

    Whelp, I made my final Alterations to the list before giving all the coding back over to MASTER_OBI-DAN , the true WNU Newbie Adoption Co-ordinator.
    In that time to which it took me to completely revise the list, I have come to a better appreciation for MASTER_OBI-DAN , and the things to which he has done here in the JC. I am extremely happy :) that he has returned to continue his duties once agian. I would also like to say that if ever he needed a helping hand, I would graciously give it as I have now... WELCOME Back MASTER_OBI-DAN !! However, before I take that final step allow me to leave by addressing this question 8-} .

    • Jezebel_Jedi: It appears you meet all the requirements, yet I would have to say that you may need your Adopter/Oldbie to say that you are released, and finished learning all you can from him ;) .

    Nice work Strid :)...good to know you've kept the adoption thread going.

    Congrats to all the new pairs. :cool: And to all the newbies awaiting adoption...don't worry, someone will snap you up soon. :D

    God Bless!

    P.S.-Gee Strid, Palapatine icon to clone trooper icon...I'm trying to find a pattern here. [face_mischief] I guess the next natural progression would be Jango Fett. Heheh 8-} That is of course if your degree of evil is decreasing... ;)

    • padawanskywalker: I am sorry, I removed that bottom list from the Newbie Adoption update because it was never there from before. However, I believe you have met one requirement and still need one more :) . But do not fret, soon that time to which you must wait will be quickly behind you. I in fact think its this month that you must wait before you may adopt someone, but then agian I may be wrong :( .

    Um, Strid, when I said I wanted to be on the list I was wanting to be on the adoptee list not the adopters. I know I don't know enough to adopt. I wanted someone to show me the ropes. I'm sorry for the confusion, that was not my intention.
