Feelgood Stuff

Anyone who likes a good story should begin at the beginning.

The short version: Guy's (Chaz) ex-gf drops some gear before the retrieval policy kicks in (2006). His Black Belt can't be retrieved. Later in the thread, someone else adds the story of a bard who had something similar happen and couldn't get either Black Belt or G.Horn back. Chaz then spends time sending GM calls and emailing POL for the next four years. Having found no recourse, he posts on BG.

After a BG email campaign (yes, I sent an email on his behalf) ... first guy gets his BB back! SE actually makes an exception to their usual policy. Later, Bard gets his gear back, too.

Grats to Chaz and Iulus.

It's worth a read if you have the time.
