email dilemma

[taimatsu]

I have talked to Robert a bit and have just finished writing an email (in French) to Dominique, which I haven't sent yet. I feel a bit crap about cancelling on her by email so near the time, but I don't know that I can explain properly on the phone (in French), especially not without crying. *sigh* So I'm not sure whether I should send this or just suck it up and phone her, and deal with the awkwardness.

In other news, people who don't confirm whether or not they're going to ST their own damn games are less than entirely impressive.

I think language barriers are an adequate justification for email.

And I'm sure she'll understand if you explain that you're not feeling up to a phone conversation about it.

I'm currently trying to translate that concept into French :)

I'd try to help, but I'm sure your French is rather better and less rusty than mine :-)

I agree with hsenag.

(What's "ST" ?)

[taimatsu]

ST = GM/lead.

The system in question calls the person who runs the game a 'Storyteller', abbreviated 'ST'; the abbreviation becomes a verb. Substitute 'run' for the intended meaning without the jargon..

Which ST is this? Anything I shoudl be concerned about?

[taimatsu]

Nothing to do with Oxford; more with the other game I play with any regularity. Drop me an email if you require more extensive information. But it's just me bitching and looks likely to become irrelevant anyway in the near future.
