Greetings, all.
As the year winds down, so will some of my hosting duties.
Lucky Numbers, which just wrapped up days ago, will be back sometime after we ring in the new year. The current episodes of Crag: The Numbers Game, Daytime On A Roll and The $40,000 Chain Reaction will be the last ones for 2017; they'll all be back in 2018.
The current episode of MG-HSH will proceed as usual. There are also tentative plans for a Christmas-themed special of The Name's The Same.
Small note going forward from the real world: My new and current job will involve some business travel. As it stands now, I'll be off the NGC grid for at least a couple of weeks. Those weeks are T.B.D. So I might have to scale back hosting just a smidge in the openings months of 2018.
Please know I'm not ready to go into full retirement. Even though I'm enjoying my present professional responsibility, I could use the diversion.
Thanks,
-D.M.

Greetings, all. An update to my previous message is in order -- for a variety of reasons.
The holiday-related craziness that comes my direction in December is happening a little earlier that normal. I spent last night at a Christmas party, I have another Christmas party this week, family's throwing me a birthday dinner in a few days -- and that's just the first full week or so of this month.
As of this writing, all game play on Daytime On A Roll and The $40,000 Chain Reaction is complete. I know I have to tie up loose ends -- including rolling closing credits, revealing the rest of the bonus chain, etc. I hope to get that done in the days to come.
With that, I regret to note plans for The Name's The Same Christmas special are postponed until New Year's. Recall my new career, currently at two months old, is requiring some travel. Business travel plans are being made -- and it looks like out-of-town travel will happen sometime in January. If there's one game I can definitely host while out of town, it's The Name's The Same. I should get a better idea of "my marching orders" before the year is out.
Tournament of champions plans for Crag: The Numbers Game are slowly coming together. One of the big Crag winners asked if I planned to cut a customized audio open for the tournament and the answer's a definite yes. I fully planned to cut audio today. One problem: My voice is hoarse as of this writing. You probably wouldn't want me to sound like crud on a tournament of champions opening. We're still waiting to hear back from one of the champions who has qualified for said tourney. So it might be a few weeks before the tourney commences.
As we used to say in the netgame neighborhood I managed, "Actual reality before virtual reality." Actual reality is throwing a few kinks in netgame hosting plans. Please know I'm nowhere near ready to retire.
While I'm loving my new work, I could use the escape. And that's where NGC comes in.
Game on -- eventually,
-D.M.

Greetings, all.
My wacky December is nearing an end -- as is the month and as is the year.
First, a real world note: I still don't know my business travel plans. I should know something soon.
With that, here's my likely plan for hosting just after New Year's Day...
\ The Match Game part of MG-HSH and Crag's first semi-final game in the tournament of champions
\ Daytime On A Roll, The $40,000 Chain Reaction and, ASAP, Crag's second semi-final game
...Lucky Numbers will be on hold until further notice. The Name's The Same could start when I'm on the road (any other games might have to be put on hold while I'm on business travel).
