OOC-Chapter 4-The Longest Day-General Discussion

[Mr Zombie killer]

it is good to hear that there are other nerds out there and that I am one of a small but thriving community. Thanks to everyone for making me feel a part of something special.

[Mr. Handy]

I just added nine new character sheets to the Gold section. The details for choosing one are in the Character Selection and Discussion thread in the main forum. This will probably be the last bunch of characters added for quite some time. There are so many characters in the game already that it would be too much to manage. Maybe after a whole lot of characters get killed off...

Regarding: Mythos Fiction Contest.

I had guessed one of them was yours because you had not commented! (I thought it was Miskatonic Moon.)

[Mr. Handy]

I did mention on another forum here back in October that I was planning on writing an interactive story for the contest, but that was probably a private one. You're right, that's why I haven't commented yet. I'll probably respond to the comments on my story this weekend, provided the threads for doing so are created.

I'm not going to be able to update Omaha tonight, as I haven't slept much in a week. There are also a few players who haven't posted yet, so this will give them one more chance to do something before...well, I don't want to give anything away.

[ImpInTraining]

I hate to do this to ya, Mr. Handy... what with your zillions of NPCs already at your command... but I am taking vacation from the 7th through the 15th of this month. That means I'll need you to either NPC William and Donald while I'm gone, or feed them to the masses. Whichever is easier for you.

[Mr. Handy]

No problem, I'll NPC your characters while you're gone. I think you mean Marcus Williams, not William. If you have any instructions for what you want your characters to do while you're gone, you can just post them here. Donald will be repairing the generator for a while longer, so he'll be busy anyway. Nothing is close enough to your characters to eat them before you get back, so you don't have to worry about that.

I got even less sleep last night, so I won't be able to update Omaha tonight. The players I was waiting for haven't posted yet anyway, so this gives them one last chance. The update is coming tomorrow night no matter what, but I hope to be able to update the other sections tonight, at least.

[ImpInTraining]

Ok, cool.

I think Marcus (yeah, that's what I meant...) he'll take some time making sure that the bottom floor is fortified, piling stuff up against the shelves in place to keep them from being easily toppled over.

Donald ... well, he'll be fixing ... and after that, he'll try to figure out what had caused the power surge.

[Mr. Handy]

Actually, Emilio already figured that out and told you. With that natural 1 he rolled, he found out everything there was to know.

[El_Anatomista]

Hi everyone. Presenting myself and anouncing that im taking over Lori Desmon.

[Dave Syrinx]

Cheers, EL! Welcome to the carnage .

Stay alive! Don´t let your guard down...And, be careful out there!

[Tabs]

Hey El_Anatomista, if you feel like it, use the photo of Lori in your posts.... Oh, and welcome too!

[Mr. Handy]

Yes, welcome!

I won't have time tonight to get the new characters in Gold started, but I hope I can get their threads up Monday night.

[Anatomist]

Had some bug with my account so i had to create this new one. I wasnt able to upload a avatar... Well it should be solved now.

[Dave Syrinx]

Did you try to get the password sent to you again? I can see and PM your last account...

[Pentadragon]

I think things are about to hit the fan in Omaha. Fun Business.

[Mr. Handy]

Gee, whatever gave you that idea?

[kabukiman]

This weekend I'm in a small trip with my family and should only return monday.

[Mr. Handy]

Have fun!

I'm starting up threads for the new characters in Gold tonight. They should start to appear over the next hour or so.

[ImpInTraining]

Actually, Emilio already figured that out and told you. With that natural 1 he rolled, he found out everything there was to know.

Well, maybe he did... but it wasn't in any posts I read. Do we just assume he did? Or did I miss something? I see where he rolled the 1 and the following post, but nothing after that explains what caused the power surge. In fact, it would be kind of hard to tell that sort of thing exactly from a power room. We might be able to tell from blown fuses what cirucit had the excessive current draw... but aside from that, without actually being at the location where the fuse supplies the power... you'd need a crystal ball or something.

But hey... no matter. If Emilio is all that with a roll of 1, cool. Just tell me what caused the power surge so I know since apparently Donald already knows.

[Mr. Handy]

I had thought Emilio had told everyone else, but it's possible he didn't. I don't see why he'd keep it back, so you can assume you know. Anyway, the source of the power surge was definitely the line supplying power to electrify the fence. A spike in demand caused it, combined with the fact that the generator's parts were old and in need of replacement (which is part of what you're doing now).

EDIT: I looked back at the older posts, but now I can see that I never did mention that to Emilio, but I should have.
