Columbus.  Exactly like GENCON but instead of major tabletop RPG and minor Tabletop Games it's Major Games and minor RPG.

I was in Georgetown, SC - about 1:45 of totality. Bitten by the bug now, have to travel the world in search of more!

PMing continues and not all PC actions have been fully stated. The Judge is waiting for players to follow-up.

The Judge is moving forward despite the fact that some PCs haven't logged in for 4-8 days.

The Judge is likely to be affected by hurricane Irma starting this weekend. No telling what the impact will be, but it's possible that the Judge is away from the game for a few days.

Pro Tip:  Wait at least one week before resorting to cannibalism.

Stay safe. I will be affected as well, and will probably lose power on Sunday night or Monday.

Helpful advice from a well-wisher in another game:



Sounds like something that the boys from "Jackass" need to check out!

In reply to Jake Richardson (msg # 890):

We made it through the storm. Incredibly, we still have power, water and internet. We had a couple of brief outages, but we never lost power completely. Much more fortunate than some folks in FL. Hoping Jake is okay. We had a pine tree uprooted in our backyard . . . and I saw neighbors with fallen trees when I walked the dogs this morning, but at least in my immediate vicinity, that appears to be the worst of it.

Back after a little hurricane-induced power outage. Glad to hear that you're okay, Judge -- I was expecting your area to get hit harder than mine.

We had a lot of things that went bump in the night (the worst of the winds came through in the dark hours of early Monday morning), but luckily nothing came through the roof.

Lots of branches and tree debris down, but nothing really serious. Rain and flooding not much of an issue in my immediate area, although the winds were a little stronger than I had expected.

Glad to hear that you all are okay!

I've done my FL/hurricane time... now I'm chilling in CO (with just the occasional blizzard)!

Thanks. Colorado sounds like a great place to chill. :)

My house in St. Pete Beach weathered the storm with just a torn screen, a damaged shed and section of fence that went walk-about. But my skin was purely financial. Glad everyone in the region is okay!

Glad to hear that you came through the storm without too much damage. When I saw some of the later storm-tracks (after Irma had hit the Keys), I had feared that the west coast of the state was really going to get slammed.

Because the PC Cole has suggested splitting up, the Judge must pause to get PC statements of action.

So far, only JEB has stated that he follows Lu Heng Bo (nevermind the fact that he referred to the highbinder using his middle name again).

In reply to Judge Messalen (msg # 898):

Art is sticking with Travis at the moment.

In reply to Artemus Carson (msg # 899):

Please post IC in Ch18.

The Judge responded in PM to Cole's PM, three days ago. The Judge has posted narrative moving forward, but pausing again for Cole to follow-up.

Besides Cole, no additional PC posts are required before the Judge posts another narrative; however, if PCs wish to take any actions while moving (e.g. skill use, dialogue, unspoken thoughts or narrative, etc.), feel free to state those IC before the Judge's next post.

In reply to Judge Messalen (msg # 898):

Bo sounds more conversational than Lu or Heng. Besides, my wife goes by her middle name&#128578;

In reply to James E. Beauregard (msg # 902):

For the record, the Judge isn't saying that someone shouldn't go by a middle name, if the person so chooses. The Judge is noting that Lu Heng Bo already informed the lawman once of his mistake ... implying, at least, that he prefers not to be called by his middle name. The Judge would perceive a difference between a person who elects to be called by a specific name and a person who is labeled with a name by another.

For any player interested, I have the entire battle on the bluffs, the beach and the rocky point in a powerpoint presentation. 40 rounds, 40 slides (plus 2 buffer slides). Fun to watch. I will make it available, if there is interest.

In reply to Judge Messalen (msg # 904):

Interested.

Please move to the tunnel immediately.
