Hey Guys,

Looks like it's questionable whether or not Blakkwolfe is going to take his turn.  Neither I nor Sandra have heard from him in the two days since he's been notified that it was his turn.  And since his turn is a dream turn, you would expect that Sandra would have heard from him by now.  The funny thing is that I heard from him after I gave him his heads up and told him to start writing and he said he was "on it".  But  I sent him an email yesterday checking on his status and still haven't gotten a response.  

So, the big question is do I wait until tomorrow and then make alternate plans or do I do that right now.  I'm voting for right now. Because this is the last turn of the round there is no one to switch his turn with.  As a matter of fact, the last three have been unswitchable because they were the last turn of the round for each tribe.  

Someone will have to take this turn for him.  Anyone volunteer?  I would do it myself (and may still end up doing it myself) but I did the last turn and I don't want to usurp the story.

Cheers,

Michael    

Whatever you decide Michael is good. We'll work with it.

Sandra

Who is Blakkwolf's character?

Quoted from Dreamscale Who is Blakkwolf's character?

Heidi.

Hey everyone,

Orange is going to stand in for Blakkwolfe on this last turn of the round.  Thanks Orange!  Blakkwolfe has been emailed.  

Cheers,

Michael

Dang. I would have volunteered had I known about it sooner : (

Oh well.

I do think we should postpone the turns as originally planned though. Having people "play" others' characters goes against the point of the whole game IMO.

Maybe Blakkwolfe has already written his scene and just got caught up in something. Whatever. I don't think anyone should take anyone's turn. I don't think the characters are developed enough for that yet. We need to let their respective creators take their first steps into their shoes, specially if we're talking about Heidi seeing as she's just been introduced.

IF we do postpone it, how long can we postpone? And will people be interested in the story after postponing? I think it should continue as is. It's all in good practice and fun. Besides, writing in a different characters shoes is a good training.

I would normally postpone the turn but it's tough at the end of round to do that because there isn't anyone to switch them with.  Since this is structured with them on their way to Niagara falls it becomes even more difficult because each of these locations sort of needs to be played out for things to flow.

We agreed in the beginning that there was a certain amount of time we had to contact the moderator, then post.  I know Blackwolfe did get in contact with Cornetto (as mentioned) but then nothing, so something must have come up.  

Cornetto is the Moderator and he keeps us moving forward, so of course, I would like Blackwolfe to write their scene, but without Cornetto hearing anything...the story must go on.

It's not an easy task to keep this flowing and on track, so MC's efforts are appreciated.

I think Orange has a good "feel" for Heidi's character, so I think she will do an excellent job!  

Well, for what it's worth, mine should be done on time when the time come for it. I've already done a quick treatment for it, and I hope you like my kill....

I'm out of the loop for the moment on what the time frame is for the end of the current turn.

I need to leave for Calgary and see my son off because he's heading back east for his posting at the Greenwood base; so I'll be gone for the rest of the day and I need to research this wild pick for the OWC.

I've never seen the movie; so I have to see it before I can do anything on it; so that cramps things for this turn.

I'll check in to see what's happening tomorrow.

Sandra

Which movie Sandra?

Just cleaned out the thread this morning the old stuff can be found at

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-collaborate/m-1228394559/

Also heard from Blakkwolfe today.  He was away with his family.  He said that he thinks Orange will do a stellar job but notes and this is important --

"that reptiles do not carry rabies...therefore that rattler could have been a good weapon as well as threat"

I'm sorry Michael, I was again moving between tabs in my browser. Two simplyscripts and one for the OWC and I was referring to my watching Solent Green because it came up in that thread.

Sandra

So what kind of dream do you want to see next?

We've got sea monsters, cougars, animals escaped from the zoo, lots of dogs, a little goth girl with a scream repellent, and snakes.

We need lots of snakes in the coming dream.

How would you like to see it focused?

Sandra

You asking me?  Or everyone?  I don't mind if you are asking everyone.  I would like to hear what they say about them.  But I would like to see the dreams focus more on Shiva, maybe with some snake stuff because the second half of things seems to be going to the snakes.

In the next couple of real turns (not dreams) I would like to witness a snake devouring a dog.  And see mysterious trucks on the road that are filled with what looks like dead dogs.  I would like the absence of dogs to be noticed and I would like no more dog attacks.
