The only Dome that's been destroyed is Research/Medical and also the passageway between it and Engineering.  Is there anywhere else?

That's it at the moment. But it might be useful to start keeping track of it somehow. Especially if Jordan's going next.


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

Do you think we need a rule about how much of the building you can destroy in one turn?

Couldn't hurt, I guess. One dome per turn, something like that.

I mean that it might be helpful to keep track of which parts are destroyed and which parts aren't, especially if more of it is going to get blown to hell.

Fair enough,

Consider that a rule.  If you feel you must destroy a dome, then you can only destroy one during your turn.

We'll worry about keeping track if it becomes an issue.

The hallway between Commons and Command took a hit by me as well. Theoretically, it is still there, but has been damaged to the point that there's no atmosphere in it, so it might as well be destroyed. In addition, the door from Command to that hallway is jacked up, and the emergency system sealed the door to the Commons from what's left of that hallway.

Submited, did a total genre switch, things are now in complete chaos, I have no idea what came over me Hope this doesn't piss anyone off.


Quoted from Mr. Blonde
I swear to god, if you kill one of my characters (If you do, kill Burt. Lol) and force me to go after you AGAIN...


I didn't, your character even gets to kick some demonic ass!

So you did a Sandra on us.  


I would prefer it if you change it to be the correct genre but I suppose we'll live with it.  It better not derail the game.


Alffy is up next.  I'll update and send emails soon.

Thank you, god, for not forcing me to go directly after this one. You just moved up in my Cool People-O-Meter for that one. And, I pity Alffy in the worst way right now. Good fucking luck figuring this one out, man. I feel for you.

I don't know how any of us truly stand a chance against the Devil, his slave and those evil, little Imp bastards, now. It's going to be quite a toughie. And, Penoyer, you hit the nail on the head. We haven't had a true Game Changer to this point. This one was it.

Jordan gave me a sneak peak at his entry last night and I was pretty excited to see how some of the other plays would react. I'm glad no one's too pissed off.  

Crazy entry, dude. I hope alffy's up to following you!

Everything is updated.   alffy is emailed.  

Personally, I don't think flyboy's entry meets the spirit of this collaboration but if three of you (who still have a turn left) think it does and are willing to follow up on it then that's half of the remaining players so I guess it probably works.

alffy's up.  He was a bit like a frightened rabbit last time and it took all the energy I could muster to coax him out of his rabbit den - so everyone be encouraging this time and hope that he thinks flyboy's entry is "cool" too.

It definitely fucks things up (in good ways and bad. After all, some people have just been hanging out the last few go-arounds) but I wouldn't say it goes against the spirit of the game. Like you said, he "Sandra'ed". I think he tried hard on something that was either going to work or it wasn't. I'd say that I'd prefer if it were less supernatural-y but I wouldn't ask him to re-write it. It's his story.

However, I don't envy Alffy for a second. I mean, working off that is going to be hell. but there are always Deus Ex Machina workarounds to be had and maybe he'll find an appropriate one.

I didn't say it went against the spirit of the game, the game is a game and ultimately you take it where you want,  but it definitely went against the spirit of this collaboration.

The genre was most obviously sci-fi.  Changing genres in the middle of a collaboration is a no-no unless everyone agrees.  Otherwise, you end up with people who are suddenly writing a genre they didn't count on.  It makes people unhappy with the result.   I think that will be in the rules the next time we play because I see it needs to be spelled out.

Secondly, not a single term from the lexicon was used in that entry.  An obvious clue that the universe created by everyone here was not even considered by that entry.

But if everyone is ok with it, I'm not going to make a fuss about it.
