MOD POST! :OOOOO
Hahaha okay, now that I have your attention...
I apologize once more for my scarceness. While I've commandeered my parents' computer due to my own internet woes, this thing is, to put it kindly, a piece of shit I can't figure out how to use too well (it's windows vista and I'm a mac user, wooo). So yeah, it's hard to multitask on it. But that doesn't mean we haven't been cooking up fun plotsies for you, and I am going to dispense the three most immediate to you now. ^_^
1. Friday is the 4th of July! Yay! Since we are a real time game, we mods thought it would be likely some of the characters might want to celebrate this totally ironic holiday. Therefore, inbetween nursing his daughter back to health, Simon has been going around town putting up flyers advertising a celebration, to be held on the carnival grounds on the 4th. He will also be posting the notice on the town blog, which anyone with internet access can get to on their computers since it was set up on a local network and is still running. I'll be posting it after this entry. The best way to do this format-wise will likely to post up separate threads, open ones if you want your character to interact randomly, or IM another player in advance if you want to set up something specific.
2. As of July 7th, anyone going to the grocery store will see that it has been locked up and guarded by two police NPC lackeys, by order of acting Sheriff Henry Browning. The answer to any inquiries your character makes is that he has closed off the store to the public and will be dispensing weekly rations. If anyone wants to discuss this with the sherff personality, he can be found douching around stationed in the police headquarters. You can IM me if you want to talk to him. XD
3. On July 12th, a town meeting will be held to discuss further options, as it's becoming clear the original search parties are not likely to come back. That will likely have to be one thread, unlike the 4th of July event... so it might get interesting, but we'll see how it goes. :D Since the town meeting was scheduled by the consensus of the townsfolk, everyone is welcome to attend and bring their issues to the table.
And yeah, that's it for now, I think... happy playing, everyone!
