And I'm back!

Let's get everyone posting again. I see most of you seem to have read my last post, if not had a chance to respond yet. Maybe pick up the pace, too?

As it is I decided to smooth out a potential problem by making sure you had some kind of documentation from a trusted source (the Librarians) so that you wouldn't get jacked by a Law Dog thinking you were the actual bike thieves.

So yeah gotta think a minute on this one. Even less reason to not just walk in take the bike and shoot his butt from my point of view.

Kudzu looks to be very similar to the Japanese knot weed that I was battling at my place in the UK. It took two years of non stop poisoning to finally put and end to it, though it probably grew back once I left.

It is in fact a variant of it. The shit is devilish and nearly impossible to get rid of. Has god knows how many variants or crossbreedings.

Anecdotally, a family somewhere in the US south inherited some land with a small farmhouse. For some reason they never got around to visiting for a year or so. When they did, they simply couldn't locate the house. It wasn't until they saw a big Kudzu-covered mound in a field they realised it and the drive had been completely covered over with vegetation!

Plus, this is Hell on Earth. Who knows what tastes Kudzu has developed?

Your in-game options are to come in from the north or south on Route 1, from the west on Route 2, but these are not the normal ways of coming into Vivian. The usual way is to come in from the east via Route 2 and the Roadhouse and gas station out by I-49. Obvious, if you are going to discuss your options I prefer it IC!

Re: OOC Thread IV

I'm suggesting Smoker stays out of town and looks after people's weapons at least in part because I'm about to go off to Turkey for a week!

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 481):

I understand.

You could always go in via the Roadhouse!

As well, I assume all Combine gear that an ex-Black Hat PC starts with has been disarmed and is no longer booby-trapped. That way it won't go off if left behind in a bar or in the truck, or someone accidentally touches it, it gets dropped, etc. Or, especially, someone with a Combine command box can't set it off remotely!

At the very least, Junkyard wouldn't want walking booby-traps providing protective services. If one goes down in a firefight then "boom" goes the VIP!

I seem to recall that there is some rule for disarming Combine chipped weapons and gear, but as a house rule both a Tinkerin' and Demolitions skill check.

And yes, if you make assumptions you make an ass out of you and umptions.

 Well in that case Chricton did not disarm the bomb himself. No explosive skill what so ever.

Crichton could disarm the electronics, but the explosive charges would remain!

Have fun!

Anyone have an idea on how you want to proceed? I think people are leaning towards going to the nearest entry to town, but there is the Roadhouse farther east as well.

  Two thoughts

1)Roadhouse while further along is less attention causing.

2)Do we really care if we cause attention?

Re: OOC Thread IV

I might be absent for a bit.  I won't know until I get home if my cable/internet is on or not.  If not, there is a service scheduled for it but they said it might take 3-5 days (maybe longer) for them to come out and look at it.  Sorry to my writing partners.

Yep, that's just the pre-Wasted West overgrowth!

Glad to hear Smoker is back. As well, I hope Jane has service sooner rather than later!

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 497):

Wow! a 33 Search check!

Bear in mind this is not the town of Vivian, which is occupied. This is the roadhouse out by the Interstate, located in an abandoned town (Hosston). The hoverbike was heading west towards the walled and patrolled town of Vivian.
