G'day all,
An unfortunate but necessary addendum to the RQ Con Down Survey recently
posted:
___________________
Loki the Still-born
For the fourth time running, one Loki the Unsworn failed to turn up
and run his tournament at a convention. RQ Con Down Under was to be his big
chance to prove to everyone he wasn't a total flake. I was warned by others
who had been previously burned and I regret that I didn't heed what they
said. Now I see that Loki is not just a flake, he's a flake with chips,
dim sims, potato cakes and a side order of pickled onions*.
Despite his phone call the night before promising to be there "first thing",
after his no-show at the con Loki never even bothered to apologise, nor did
he offer an excuse, however lame. I'd understand if he'd been hit by a
truck or abducted by aliens (though I'd want to see the saucer), but
apparently he just couldn't be stuffed.
I apologise to everyone who had put their names down to play in his
Call of Cthulhu tournament, and strongly advise anyone organising a con
out there to give Loki the Still-born a clear berth.
Regards,
MOB
*for those of you perplexed by this reference, 'flake' is what shark meat
is called in Victorian Fish & Chip shops.
