[TheForge] Speaking of MASTERMYR: Mastermyr II Item Status and Mastermyr Replicas Display Locations & Dates (2006 Update 1)

[April & Bill Clemens]

Well it finally happened, someone besides me mentioned Mastermyr!

I haven't posted a status for a while, giving it a rest and hoping that
after a break, we might get a new head of steam and finish it. 

What's everything think? Want to try to complete it for ABANA 2006?

The current status is listed below.  I'll give everyone who is signed up
for an item 2 weeks to tell me if they still plan to complete it and
when.  After that, any currently assigned items where the assignee has
not responded will be listed as unassigned again in the hope that
someone else out there will volunteer to make it.

 

Here's a list of the 43 Remaining Items to be made
