THE RULES

The object of this game is to end up as the sole survivor.  

THE PREMISE

Due to the dangerous conditions, isolation and hardship involved building Mars base, it has been decided hardcore convicts will be provided a chance for early release by serving their time building the base.   In the past, things have gone smoothly - it seems like this approach might be an effective means of rehabilitation.  

Several politicians have built their careers along with the base and it's time for them to visit.  Unbeknownst to them, on their way to the planet a series of murders has taken place on the base.  The killer is unknown.

YOUR TURN

When it is your turn I will send an email stating that it is your turn.   I will also post that it is your turn in this discussion thread.  Refer to the discussion thread to get information you will need for your turn.  

You must kill one player character that has already been introduced.

In your email, I will provide the name of characters you may not kill.  One of these characters is the killer, so you can and should implicate one of these characters in the murder.  You may also be provided with additional instructions which you will need to follow.

You may move two characters from the room they are in.  The rest have to stay where they are.  Once you move a character though, you can move them as many times and places as you want in that one turn.  If you accidentally go over then don't panic - it's ok but don't abuse it.

For new concepts and terms you may only use what's in the lexicon.  Don't start creating technology, slang, or history - use what's available.  Again, if you accidentally break this rule then don't panic - it's ok but don't abuse it.

You will write a scene and post it in the game thread.  

You have 24 hours to acknowledge my email. If you do not acknowledge then your turn will be postphoned or cancelled.

You have 48 hrs to write your scene + or - a few hours.  It is recommended that you choose one of the other players to read your scene post before you post it.  

Please tell me as soon as you can if you will not make your turn so we can keep the game moving. Don't be afraid to communicate your scheduling needs.  

A player still continues to write even after their characters are dead.  They just write about other characters.

FIRST TURN

During your first turn, you will introduce your second character.   Please send me the new character's information and history so that can post it.  You can PM it, email it, or post it in the discussion thread.

FIRST ROUND

There will be a resurrecution of one player's character at the end of the first round.  

WHO IS THE KILLER

I will pick the current killer randomly from the introduced characters.  I will post a poll every few turns with all the characters that are still alive and you will vote on who you think the killer is.  If the majority gets it correct, then I will randomly choose another character as the killer.

GENERAL SCENE GUIDELINES

Keep it real.

You may create incidental characters but please try to stick to the player characters.  You may also kill incidental characters you create or that other people create and leave lying around.

These incidental characters should be genrically named: CONVICT, POLITICIAN, GUARD.

Or may be referred to in groups: CONVICTS, POLITICIANS, GUARDS.

A scene can be no longer than one post in a thread.  If you use Word then this is somewhere around 7,850 characters including spaces and lines.

All formatting will be left aligned (see game thread for example).  All locations slugs should be in bold. [ b ]slug[ / b ] <- like that without the spaces.

You may have more than one location in your scene.  

Don't assume the general areas specified on the map are all one big room.  They each can have many rooms, nooks and crannies.  Just specify on your slug if you're somewhere special.

If you introduce another character please consider the bio given by the player.

As well as killing off a character, develop "story" during your turn.   This means having characters interact with each other.  However, your character doesn't need to interact with every other character.  Limit the character's relationships to just a few other characters each.  This will make storylines more pronounced.

Make the reading interesting and move the "story" forward.  

I'm putting story in quotes here because there really isn't much of a story here, because more than likely there will be many fragments of stories, after all this is a game.

Good luck and let the thread know if you have any questions (I edited this rather quickly so you probably will).Martian Mayhem (Killer game)

Nice start michael. you have more writing talent in your pinky finger than i do. you may want to resize the map again like the other thread.

lol.

The map should set it's size to whatever size your browser is.  Is it causing you to scroll sideways?

yeah, at full screen im having to scroll sideways quite a bit.

It shouldn't be wider than your page - it's actually impossible for it to be wider than your page.  Are you using your phone?  What browser are you using?  

Is anyone else having this problem?

EDIT:  Ah! You must be using IE.   Looking into it.

EDIT:  There's not much that can be done with the image in IE because it's determining the size differently than all other browsers.  I made the picture a bit smaller for the time being - but will see if I can find a better solution.   Would suggest using a different browser if you can because IE is a piece of crap.    

True, but I really, really don't like Firefox. I'll just deal.

Nicely done Michael!

I mistakenly spelled my character's first name with one L. You have it correct in your scene as Elliot. Could you correct the character list? Thanks.

The best alternative to IE is Chrome.   Much faster.  

I can make the image smaller still but it's going to start to get hard to see.  

Fixed Elliot but you won't see it until after Blonde goes and I update things.

Ok. Best I can think of to do.  

Both the map and tracking are at 50%.

When you move the mouse over them they expand to 100%.

When you move the mouse off of them then the go back down to 50%.

Hope that works for everyone.

Good job Michael, you set things up pretty nice. Interested in seeing where this goes,

Michael,

Can you skip my turn, please? Today's just been a fucking mess. Thanks.

Is it me or is this sounding awfully complicated?  I bet I'm the first to break the rules. lol

I have a sneaking suspicion Alan the computer is somehow linked to the killings.  Kind of a play on HAl from 2001; Space Oddyssey.  

Quoted from Mr. Blonde Michael, Can you skip my turn, please? Today's just been a fucking mess. Thanks.

I'll postpone your turn.

However, you should let me know if you want to postpone within 24 hours.  It doesn't only affect me when you change the schedule - it affects everyone playing.  

Thanks.  

Quoted from alffy Is it me or is this sounding awfully complicated?  I bet I'm the first to break the rules. lol

I was the first to break the rules... so you don't have anything to worry about.

Quoted from mcornetto I'll postpone your turn. However, you should let me know if you want to postpone within 24 hours.  It doesn't only affect me when you change the schedule - it affects everyone playing.

I apologize for that, Michael. I had it written last night but then had those questions for you which required me to re-write then today was completely fucked and I was hardly on the computer today. My bad. Won't happen again.

No worries.  Hope everything gets sorted.  

I did want to take this moment and address those that think it's complex.   There's really only three rules to follow each turn.


Kill an introduced player character

We need this rule because we need to end up with only one player character surviving at the end.  

Why will I send you a list of characters not to kill?

To allow for certain storylines and suspicion to develop.

Only move two characters from the room they start in during your turn

In the original Killer game there was a rule like this - however it was more restrictive because it only allowed you to move one.  I relaxed this rule for later games but ended up with people moving crowds around.   Not only is this difficult for me to keep track of, it's annoying to read.

Only use the terms and history provided.  Don't create new ones.

This rule is here because certain people who've played this game in the past like to go off on tangents and introduce all sorts of new concepts in the middle of a game.   This is annoying to those who are playing and have to try to both understand and continue these concepts.  

In addition, you must introduce your second player character on your first turn

Because there's kills every turn characters are going to be leaving us rather quickly.  This is to keep the gene pool fresh at the start.

Anyway, hope this helps.

And remember, this is a game, the rules are there to structure the game fairly and make it a more enjoyable experience for all involved.  

I guess that makes it my turn.

I'll get right on it.

Quoted from Matt Chisholm I guess that makes it my turn. I'll get right on it.

Did you get my email?

Quoted from mcornetto Did you get my email?

I got it, thanks.

Seems like I have a fair amount to do.

If you have any questions or need some help.   Let me know.  I should be around my email all day.

Just posted the second scene. Hope it's to your liking.

Thanks to Michael for helping with the clean-up.

Enjoy!

Excellent work Matt.  

I especially like how you used the FMD and left a piece of it around as a clue.

Penoyer79 is up next.  

I'll update things and send an email when I get home from work -- so in a couple of hours.

Everything is updated - email is sent.

Oh and Blonde is now between The boy who could fly and alffy

Okay. That should be better, hopefully. Thank you.

EDIT: That was good stuff, Matt. Somebody's using an FMD to kill people... *cue dramatic music*

Matt,

Damn fine job! Seamless.

Gary

Penoyer's entry is on it's way.  

Here's his character...

LEON NAPIER (28 ) Captain of the Guards

Speaks with a thick French accent. In peak physical condition. Flamboyant. Wears a perfectly trimmed Hitler-style mustache. Loves expensive wine and Opera.

Son of wealthy French businessman, Bernard Napier. Bernard is the chief financial backer of the Mars Colony. He is not an official Politician, but his checkbook has virtually every meaningful politician deep in his pocket. Bernard is seen by many as the world’s next rising global tyrant in the vein of Hitler, Caesar, and Napoleon. Bernard threatened to pull funding on Mars when he learned that Prisoners would make up the work force. Bernard eventually relented on the condition that his son -Leon- would run and personally oversee the Prisoner Workforce.

Unfortunately for the prisoners, this apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Leon himself is a dangerous sociopath with a Machiavellian mind/lust for power. With his father’s political clout and Commander Farthing’s mutual contempt for PIGs (and unwillingness to rock the Napier boat)… Leon is allowed to run rampant, abusing both his authority and his workforce with diabolical impunity.

I'd say he's like Clancy Brown in "Shawshank" except Bob Gunton still pulled the strings. An interesting sort of fella...

Quoted from Mr. Blonde I'd say he's like Clancy Brown in "Shawshank" except Bob Gunton still pulled the strings. An interesting sort of fella...

Bob Gunton was The Man on Shawshank. there was no disbute there. Nothing happened on Warden Norton's watch that he didnt approve of or know about. Captain Hadley was simply an Enforcer.

On Mars... the line is much more blury and complicated.

Farthing - runs the facility....he's a man of ambition and accomplishment...but as michael wrote in his bio - he boils down to a glorified 'yes man' because he's afraid of conflict and afraid to get his hands dirty.

i think he smells the winds of change back on earth... and the best way to continue his meteoric rise to the top - is to use this job - and Leon - to get in good with Bernard.

of course the rub in all this is the murders . Farthing could very well be responsible. if he is.. i see it as he's finally snapped...and is now making some sort of power play.

and if Farthing is not behind the murders.... either way he's looking at a very serious showdown with Bernard Napier - who will not be happy with Farthing when he learns of all this chaos and bloodshed going down on his multi-billion dollar pet-project...all of it happening on Farthing's watch. With Leon now on board Mars... Farthing is well aware he has become both expendable, and the perfect fall guy.

this gives both men a very powerful motive.

Good going, Penoyer!  So, I guess Connie bit the dust this time.   Be sure to clean up the rest of your �

You can avoid this problem by doing a reply to the thread rather than a quick reply from the text box at the bottom of the thread.  Also, always use full edit because quick edit will change certain symbols.

Or

You can paste your post to a simple text editor (like Notepad - I use Notepad ++ which is free and provides some additional functionality) and then copy it from there.    

Nawazm is up next.    I'll update and send an email after I'm through with the rest of my work day.  

haha yeah...poor matt has no one but himself to blame. i couldn't believe how beautifully he set his own character up to die.

and poor Dash... i dont think he'll ever get over this one.  

i think i got all the symbols cleaned up... let me know if you see anymore.

Quoted from Penoyer79 poor matt has no one but himself to blame. i couldn't believe how beautifully he set his own character up to die.

I had an inkling she wouldn't last long. The black guys never do in these scenarios.

Nice scene though. You set Leon up pretty nicely.

All updated.  Email sent.

Preparing poll.

nice work everyone! People are dropping like flies. I wonder if any martians are gonna show up!  

Don't forget to vote in the poll...

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1346749365/

Hmm, looks like everyone has been introduced. Guess that gives me a little less freedom.

Sen Warren is actually in the Commons... or heading to the Commons...

Quoted from Penoyer79 Sen Warren is actually in the Commons... or heading to the Commons...

Noted.

To the new folks...

Just because you have 48 hours to post, doesn't mean you should wait 48 hours before posting.  

We kind of like to keep the game moving at a brisk pace if we can.  You can help with that by posting as quick as possible.  


Thanks.

Sorry everyone for taking so long. Jeremy Graves' bio is coming in the next hour but I thought I should post the scene to avoid any more delays.

Jeremy Graves, 29.


Born in one of the worst slums in New York, Jeremy Graves lived in a large warehouse with two thousand other people for most of his life.

As a child, he was always interested in mechanics and computers, searching every dump in the city to find spare parts for the gizmos he was working on. Although he made many interesting gadgets, no one dared to look at anything made by some rat from the slums.

His big break came at the age of eighteen, when he stumbled across an old motherboard from a used IBM 5100. From there, using his years of experience, he designed one of the most advanced robotic systems known to man. A computer with a faster processing time than any normal human being. It could interact and see all, even developing feelings if told to. With that, he was hired by Microsoft immediately.

For years, he was never credited for the design, eventually bursting and leaving his job. He then began working on his next project, ALAN, a computer that can run whole bases and buildings with no aid from a human. When he finally finished, he discovered that the US government was building a base on Mars and were looking for expert programmers. After hearing that, the first thing he did was reveal his design. The funders were amazed, offering him one of the highest paid jobs on the base which he happily accepted.

He moved to Mars Base when construction ended, working with many of the staff to perfect ALAN's duties. When alone, even though he seems happy, Jeremy hides a terrible secret about ALAN. One that no one but him must know, only at gun point will he reveal it to anyone...

Good job nawazm.   I like that sneeze is red (I added that to the Lexicon).


Everything is updated (I hope I got it all right) and email is sent.  


The boy who could fly is up next.


Couple of things that came up....

1.  Always include the map location on your slug.  It might be a bathroom but you should slug it as INT. COMMONS - BATHROOM because I have to keep track of this stuff and it's confusing if you don't include the map location.  

2.  Try to spread people around a bit more.  The thing about these games is that people seem to want to bring everyone to the same location.   Try to avoid that.  Smaller groups -  different locations will make the reading much more interesting and easier to follow.  Plus it gives you more time for story development for the characters involved.

Oh Jeebus, my turn is next, kinda confused as to what to do since everyone is pretty much clumped together no one can really be the killer since everyone is with someone, this is gonna be a challenge!

Whatever you do, try and make it easier for me when I go in after you. Lol. I'm just kidding. Make it as hard as possible. =)

I'm gonna have to break one of the rules in a big way to get some things straightened out. I  suggest that from now on, before and right after a kill all characters should be alone, that will make everyone a suspect, I do have an idea, but i am going to have to break some rules, but i think it will make it easier from this point on.

What? Rule breaking? You can't break the rules! That's against the rules!

I think my turn is coming up and I've hardly read any of it yet..oops.  Best get this thing read and keep track of what is going on.  I knew this would happen, game starts and suddenly I'm mega busy doh!

jeez nawazm tried to off both my guys in 1 turn....even after he said how much he liked them

Quoted from Penoyer79 jeez nawazm tried to off both my guys in 1 turn....even after he said how much he liked them

The problem here was that there were too many characters with other characters. I should've tried to fix that on my turn. I actually really liked Andrew's back story, I wanted to see where it would go but I had no choice .

Michael, is there any possibility we could drop the stipulation that we can move "X" amount of people "X" amount of times? If so, it'd certainly open things up a bit more.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde Michael, is there any possibility we could drop the stipulation that we can move "X" amount of people "X" amount of times? If so, it'd certainly open things up a bit more.

No.  It gets too crazy and hard to read if I allow that.    What I will say is that you can accidentally break the rule and I won't complain - unless you abuse it.


And actually the rule is you can move two characters any number of times.   That's almost 1/4th of the cast.  

PS: If you want to see how crazy it gets with unlimited movement - go read Murder on the Simply Express.

I loved how that one went, though. That was my favorite of them to read (I wonder if participating had some effect on that). I read Lake Simply and wasn't too partial to that one. S.S. Craven was just a disaster. I thought we really (okay, not really, but close) got into a rhythm with "Murder".

We did,  and overall I found that game enjoyable, but the crowds moving together had to go.  This is the only way I can think of to prevent it but still give people some creative freedom.    

I think it would've worked better if you switched them. "Murder" was much more contained which made it better to restrict movement, whereas "Mayhem" is so wide open, we'll never be able to explore everything you built. Just saying, though. =)

Well, like I said.  If you accidentally break the rule about two people - and you don't abuse it, then I won't complain.

I may have to make double sure I don't "break" that rule when my turn shows up... =)

as far as character movement is concerned. maybe the writers can pitch in by keeping track of character movement in their own scenes....

then along with submitting their scene - they  simply email michael a list of who has moved where...

then all michael has to do is edit the map.

FOR EXAMPLE - USING MY SCENE...
Senater Warren --> corridor between Common and Guest Quarters
Jenna Drast-->Guest Quarters
Leon Napier -->Guest Quarters  (New character)
Connie - Corridor outside Medical (Dead)
Dash --->Corridor outside medical

Though it does make it easier on me if fewer characters move - that isn't the reason for the rule.   I'm fairly certain it will make a more readable script.

Okay, I'm pretty much done, but I'm tired so I will finish it when I get up. I got most people seperated so it's not one big clump, so it should be easy for the next person, but I did have to break a rule, but I think from now on it will be pretty easy to manage. And yes, this entry will be pretty digusting and depraved, I should get my ass to church!

And, I have to be the one that goes after you? Whenever I write, my characters are very subdued! Damn you! Lol. =)

i cant help but wonder how this would have turned out if it were Martians killing the crew memebers

i think a "Survivor" aspect would be an interesting tweak to this format. everyone creates a character they hope will be the last one standing.  but intead of killing eachother... its an x-factor killing them off....

Valentina Santiago, late thirties.

She is the multi billionaire financing the mars project. Born into a wealthy family, her father owned and ran a science research company in her home town of Zaragoza Spain called "Descubrimiento"

Her mother died during child birth and was raised soley by her father who got her into science and business.

By the time she was fifteen the company was worth over one hundred billion dollars, mostly due to discovering the cure for aids. By the time she was twenty the company was worth almost five hundred billion dollars, and when her father died six years later in a mysterious boating accident, she became head of Descubrimiento.

Known to be vicious and cold, she is a true business woman who never takes no for an answer and always gets what she wants and has the money and power to destroy anyone who gets in her way. She cares more about profit than a cause.

She is also known for her sexual exploits taking on many lovers of both genders, she is also heavy into sadomastic sexual activities including bondage and mutilation. Some of her physical alterations are having her tongue forked like a snake and her eyes dyed yellow.

She financed the mars project in secret, only a select few know of her involvment, and even fewer know the real reason why she is doing this.

Well, that was quite an entry, a few typos but it made me jump a bit at the end.  

The plot thickens....

Blonde is up.

I'm about to head out for a few, I'll update things when I get back in a few hours.  

I have a feeling Valentina may know the Napier family quite well.

Interesting entry. And by interesting I mean WTF, dude?

How the fuck do I compete with this? Dialogue is what I do best and I have to do better than literal forked tongues, ripping still-beating hearts out of people's chests? Come on, now... That said, the new girl is certainly an interesting addition and a complete wacko... but different and exciting are good times.

EDIT: I think I may have cracked this one but I need to create five different documents to keep track of this. May have it up tonight. May not.

I wanted to take things down a darker path, make it a little more sinister and I thought Valentina would add a more sadistic and Immoral tone to the story, and also I thought we needed reason for this mission. I think there are a lot of possibilites, curious to see where it will go from here.

Well, I'm going to continue to take things down a darker path with my new character and we're about to go into lockdown. I just hope I can make it stick.

Everything is updated.

Everyone pretty much seems to be in the Crew and Guest Quarters.  

This is why you should use the Map Location in your slug, so you know if you're mixing it up or not.

(and btw I allowed a lot of additional moves for that turn so please don't try to convince me that allowing additional moves will spread people out)

Looking forward to reading what Blonde writes.

WTF???

Oh, wow. I should've killed Jenna myself to avoid her having such a gruesome death... I'm still so bummed that she's gone...

Blonde, you must avenge me!

Made the cuts. If anyone is interested in proofreading this for me, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll post it right now.

Burt Bell - Guard

As the guard who can get it for you, Bell operates like any profitable business should. He finds a group of people willing to buy and sell products at a price they're willing to pay. In the case of the prisoners, he trafficks in drugs of all kinds and charges as much as ten times the street value.

Of course, price gouging like this does not go unnoticed as Leon demands 40% of Bell's business just to operate. This was merely the final nail in the coffin for Bell who knows he should've been Captain of the Guards but was passed over for the promotion (and salary) for the rotten bastard Bernard Napier's son, Leon.

That said, being around drugs that much, the temptation was always there for Bell who broke the cardinal rule in a moment of weakness, "Never get high on your own supply". As a raging cocaine addict with an anti-Napoleon Complex (picking on people smaller than him because he knows he can beat them), he never was one for feeling anything genuine for another human being until he found Constance Harris. It was never made official to anyone but rumors swirled that he liked her, in one way or another, but hid behind his hulking 6'7", 286 physique of solid muscle. Thing is, no one knew for sure if he actually cared about her or if he just saw her as another untapped customer base.

I can proofread it. Send it to my email.

Gary

Up. Thank you, Gary, for helping me out. You spotted some good things I didn't even notice. Hopefully, it's to your guys' liking.

Good stuff, Blonde.  Quite dense but interesting nonetheless.  

Just woke up here, so I'll update things once I have a cuppa.  

It's alffy's turn.  

Everything is updated.  Email is sent.  

Looking forward to seeing where alffy takes us next.

Just a heads up, Michael. Burt Bell is 46. Nothing that has to be altered this second, though. =)

Well done sir.

Oh, man... Both my characters dead.

I quite liked this one actually. Really opens it up for the next person.

No word from alffy yet and his 24 hrs is nearly up.   ReneC should get ready because it might be his turn a bit early.  

ReneC is up.   Apparently, alffy is lost in space.

Oh, I see what you did there, Michael... =)

Alffy did say that he hadn't actually caught up with the story yet. It probably takes the whole 48 hours just to figure out what the hell is going on in this crazy Mars colony.

Okay guys sorry for the silence but I'm currently dying with 'Man Flu'.  I gather I've missed my turn so do I get to go after ReneC?

I'll read through everything and work on my next character, Michael.  I won't do my part yet as I'm not sure if I'm still next or not.  With the way I'm feeling I reckon I'll be pulling a sickie tomorrow so I could defo get a bit done then.

Anyway, let me know if you can Michael and sorry again.

Right I've read through it and....Jez! What the hell is with the crazy bondage chick Valentino! lol.  One wonders what goes on in Jordan's (the boy who could fly) head?

I've had to make some notes as it's getting a bit hard to follow with some writers suggesting a few sneaky sub-plots.

Liking it so far though and hopefully I'll pull through this flu to see the end lol.

I'm casually reading it through until I actually to deal with it, myself since I get to go last. Figure there's little point in sorting out much of anything until it is my turn to try to make sense of it.

Working on my pages now.

Hey Michael, I finally had a good look at the map, and for the first time, noticed you had the names of the deceased hiding out in the background. Further study revealed you have lines pointing to the places where they were made to be deceased. Useful info, I would say, for tracking purposes. If I may be so bold as to suggest, you should use a different color for them. Red on red is rather unfriendly and makes their lines somewhat difficult to trace at a glance. Just saying.

PATRICIA HEMSWORTH (44, Mess Cook)

Born in Iceland to immensely rich parents, Patricia never wanted for anything while growing up. She lived the Richie Rich lifestyle, buying and investing on a whim but with the heart and conscience her older brother, Oliver, never exhibited. She tried to get along with Oliver and always looked out for him, but it was like mixing oil and vinegar. Worse, she was the clear favourite of her parents.

When she was 30, her parents were killed by a devastating volcanic eruption in the Phillipines. Despite their will leaving the majority of the estate to Patricia, as the eldest heir her brother used his power and political connections to wrest the entire estate away from her, including her own assets and accounts. Worse, he ruined her reputation, burning every political connection she had.

Penniless and thoroughly cut off from her former life, Patricia was forced to start fresh with a menial job as a school cafeteria cook. She excelled, as she did in everything, and soon was running her own catering business in the US. But just as success seemed imminent, her brother once again took it all away from her, buying or sabotaging whatever he could of her business.

Around that time, an opportunity for a mess cook opened up on Mars. She jumped at the chance, hoping her brother's reach would not extend to another planet, and has spent the last two years keeping a low profile in the Mars Colony.

Cool.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, Rene.  

George,  The last known room of each character is on the character tracking sheet - if you have questions about where they died.    I can try to tweak the color on the map but my purpose was to give a ghostly feeling for the character names visually - kind of a memorial - rather than for tracking.  Originally my plan was to remove them from the map entirely because they clutter up what you really need to see but since I can keep them there in a unobtrusive way, I decided to leave them on the map.

alffy, hope you're feeling better.  If you think you'll be well enough to take your turn after Rene, let me know.

Michael

  

Michael, I'm dying but it might brighten my day to have my go

Done and posted. Enjoy!

Hm. You killed off the one I wanted to kill off. I'll have to pick a new target.

I think this one had an interesting way to it. Our leader is officially down and... "melonized". Now, ALAN is fucked up and the facility has been breached. What's going to happen next?

One thing, though. You had "Smithers" as Patricia's last name at one point. Just a heads up.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde One thing, though. You had "Smithers" as Patricia's last name at one point. Just a heads up.

I just figured it was an alias.

Quoted from George Willson I just figured it was an alias.

Yup, it's an alias.

Excellent work Rene.  

Alffy's  up.  Will send him an email but can't update things until I get home from work tonight.

EDIT: Ok.  Email sent.

EDIT:  And btw, Rene, did I mention that I get to kill two characters during my second turn?

I should've figured it was because you seemed to have put a good amount of thought. But, I didn't want to gloss over it and have it be a mistake. I'd rather look stupid (perfectionist at work...).

And, Michael, I'm praying you don't kill both of mine. I know you're strongly considering it. I know how you operate... =)

uh-oh... Farthing's gone....

who's going to stop Valentina and Leon from running amuck?
