Map updated. Only two players should be effected by the lack of a 'Z' grid. If they want me to resend their turn six reports with accurate grid refs on them, please PM me, and I will do so.

It's early, but I honestly think I covered all I could.
So...
Turn Seven Orders sent.
(thankfully I was assured I could ammend them up until deadline, if needed)

How much SCRAP do you need to build a Time Machine?

Only 1. But the Time Machine can only go forward, at the rate of one second for one second.

How many can I buy, then? I would like Father Chronus and Brother Scrotes to travel into the future 1 second every second.

As many as you like, though they take 10 FUEL per turn to use. And theylode on a roll of 1, destroyng half the map.

If I encounter Temporal Apes in the future, am I able to take some and then train them?

Due to a heavy workload, and other annoyances, I will not get reports done until Friday, when I shall release them all.

I've made a first draft for a RPG FAQ, on the basis of a comment made by a RPGer who found the Threndor intimidating. Join me, and make it better!

I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I do not like them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them anywhere.
I do not like green eggs and spam.
I do not like them, Dorian-I-am.

. . . aaaaand, just to be mean and make those playing both Borderlands and Pantheon more nervous, I can say that this has so far been an eventful turn. It shall be upped in the historical summary but, one player so far has been raided by hostile elements. :twisted:

Ah...now that the Game Master has seen what is meant by what Xar does with cryptic hints...

(and the anxiety and anticipation rises)

Reports will definitely be released on Friday night (two nights from now), however, as so many public events have happened this turn, I will be adding some of those write-ups first. No turn reports have been sent as yet.

P.S. - no prizes for spotting the two Pantheon3 in-jokes in the latest write-up. :)

Further Announcement: As there seems to be no prize for the Watchie I got (really, I don't mind :wink: ), I've decided to issue my own prize as thanks. I have no idea who voted for me (well, some idea), and I can't reward everyone, but, here's my prize:

Every Borderlands player will receive a small bonus to the resource they have the least of. Anyone who wants my WGDs etc, please PM me, and I'll dish some out (I never use them, really). And, also, in celebration, I've changed my Av to the coolest writer in film history.

My thanks for the nod of appreciation I received. :)
