Top Ten Question Number Four
Question: If it’s January, how come the signups are for May? Do I really have to wait that long to get married? Why the big delay?
Answer: Because weddings vary so widely in complexity, we have to plan for the most complex. For instance, maybe you want 20 black hats for your items. Well, that’s fairly easy, and we can probably whip that up fairly quickly. But let’s say you want items which all have a rich RP history and writing on them in Gerenshuge and you want them to be kind of thiefly, but not thiefly as to get you thugged, and you also want runes (which we don’t do) on them and other stuff, and dammit, your buddy got something just like this five years ago, you think, so you don’t want any guff.
Well, that’s another story.
Now, let’s say you want that stuff, AND you want a massive invasion of snowbeasts wearing tutus, each with individual personalities. Now I gotta round up a bunch of GMs and coordinate schedules. It’s going to be a fun event, but still. There are a lot of variables. And we want your special day to go perfectly.
Question: But the hat thing. I just want hats. Can I get it done early?
Answer: Maybe. It still depends on the schedule, and it also depends on the complexity of the weddings ahead of you, circling around, waiting for their spot on the runway. We’ll do what we can, but don’t sign up for a wedding in May expecting to have it in February. Much as we want it to, it probably won’t happen.
