Mr H,
Are you ever going to update Kathleen?

[Mr. Handy]

Yes, I am. Currently you haven't said she's actually doing anything, so I was going to wait a bit to see if one of the other threads would advance far enough to influence hers. Otherwise, if Kathleen does something first, I'll respond with what happens as a result.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back to 1969! I'm going to get this game moving again. Since there are currently no more than one or two people in each IC thread, individual threads can get moving again fairly quickly, even if the players in other threads haven't returned yet. I'd like everyone who comes back to post and let me know you're here, either by posting in your IC thread or by posting in this one. So far I've seen posts from mikc, Mr Zombie killer, and Philhulu.

[TheAlchemist]

I'm back. Should be posting soon.

[Mi-Go Agent]

I've been abroad, which is why I haven't been on YSDC for the last week or so. I get the feeling something has happened...

[Mr. Handy]

Well, you picked a good time to travel, as you haven't missed a thing. Carnage_Lee lost his job (along with the site's host), and it's been down for almost two weeks. He managed to get it up and running on a new host on Monday.

I'm still waiting for dualshock71, Caporegime (who has logged in), and nanonano63 (who has also logged in) to check in.

[Mr. Handy]

A warm welcome to seanarcher, who will be taking over former NPC Lt. John Yeager!

Thanks Mr Handy

Hello to everyone, I'm new to playing in this medium so please don't expect too much to start with. I'm a quick learner though so please be patient I look forward to getting into role playing again as it has been quite some time since I've had the pleasure of rolling the dice!!

[Mr. Handy]

You're welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

By the way, yesterday I found an interesting Ashes to Ashes roleplaying forum that's just getting started, called Face The Strange. It takes place after the end of Series 2. It's a freeform game, with the focus on writing and characters. The admins are playing Alex Drake and Gene Hunt, and I just signed up to play Chris Skelton. So far I'm the only one to sign up, but Ray Carling, Shaz Granger, and Evan White are still available, as are the new DCI and DI who are filling in for Gene and Alex (or you can make your own character up).

[Mi-Go Agent]

Alas, I've been lead to believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that "Life on Mars" is now never to be franchised, sequeled, or anything of the sort.

[Mr. Handy]

That's the first I've heard of anything like that. Ashes to Ashes is still in production. Series 3 was confirmed a couple of weeks ago as Series 2 was wrapping up. Shooting will take place this fall, and it will air next year. However, Series 3 is the last one (by the producers' choice). As far as I know, the door is still open for a new follow-up series. The main hitch to that is that Philip Glenister has said that after Ashes to Ashes concludes, he is not going to play Gene Hunt any more.

[TheAlchemist]

Sorry I havn't posted in a while. I figured I'd give Dualshock some more time to reappear.

[Mr. Handy]

That's okay, I was waiting for Dualshock71 (and Caporegime) too. Caporegime has at least logged on since the site came back up, but Dualshock71 was last seen just before it went down. I sent PMs to everyone, but they haven't come back yet. At this point I'll take over their characters as NPCs until and unless they return.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm going to Dexcon next weekend, and I don't expect to have Internet access (or spare time to use it), so there won't be any updates next Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I'll try to update everything again on Wednesday and Thursday, and then after I get back and catch up early the following week.

[Mr. Handy]

It's July 16, 2009! We've finally caught up to the present day in the game. And of course it's the 40th anniversary of July 16, 1969, the day our story started in 1969 and the day Apollo 11 launched.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome to Zubayda, who will be taking over the character of Sergeant Charlie Rawlings (former non-player character)!

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome to Midnightlight, who is playing Terrance Luis Williams!

I won't be able to update Red Money or Law tonight, but I should be able to manage both tomorrow night.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm sorry I wasn't able to update the IC threads last night, and tonight doesn't look good either. I haven't had much sleep in quite a while. Hopefully I'll get some tonight, and then on Sunday I can update them.

[Mr. Handy]

I won't be able to update the IC threads tonight, but tomorrow night looks very likely.

[Mr. Handy]

I don't have time tonight to update the rest of the IC threads, but I'll make every effort to do so on Thursday night.
