FRIENDS*
I got one of those watches that let you know when people have been sent back. I'd like to add your names to mine, for any of you that don't mind. I'll probably be willing to let you put my name on yours, too.

MARA JADE
That goes double for you, since if you disappeared, I wouldn't have any clue where to start looking. I had them put a passcode on mine, if that helps at all. And I'm willing to consider other security measures if that'd make you feel more comfortable with it.

TEAM FREE WILL*
So. Last year we did a big Thanksgiving at the cabin. Do we want to do that again, or do something smaller in the apartment, or just the four of us? I'm open to other suggestions, too.

Also, I'm heading out early in the morning to help out with that war games event for ESD students. I'll probably be back early in the afternoon.

[yeah, pretend this was posted Friday like right after Pike's post]

( Under 18s/ESD Students )
We're doing this really cool war games thing for one of m ESD classes and you should sign up if you having already, especially if you want to play on my team. I promise fun. We did this kind of thing in Dauntless all the time only with sim guns and it was always a blast, but that opinion might come from being on the winning team 90% of the time.

Seriously, sign up, if you liked the nerf war, you'll love this! We've still got room for more people.

War Games!

(Assume this was posted Friday - life fail)

Those of you who are coming out for war games this weekend, it should be a good time. Sully and I have put in some additional obstacles on the ranch so the terrain looks to be a good challenge. The weather seems like it will hold up.
  • There are six teams of students. Team leaders are the students from my class: Mikasa Ackerman, Tris Prior, Illyana Rasputina, James Roges, Scott Summers, and Flash Thompson
  • Teams may form alliances or partnerships. Yes, you can doublecross each other.
  • Those you have recruited will be on your teams and the rest of the students will be divided equally among the team leaders. (OOC: Handwaving npcs so that each team has 4-5 players)
  • There will be 2-3 designated adult referees. The rest of the adults will be 'variables', not on your team and trying to prevent you from reaching your objective.
  • Kate Beckett will be serving as HQ at the main cabin. If you get hurt, go see her. She'll be coordinating comms with the other adults.


Saturday
Saturday's game will be a variation of capture the flag. Each team will receive a flag to hide. Each team flag is worth one point. There is a central flag which will be guarded by adults and worth five points. The first team to get five points wins. (In the event of a tie, we will figure out a tie breaker.) Everyone gets a paintball gun, so you can take out opposing players that way as will (you must hit the sensor for a 'kill').

Saturday night will be a cookout and campfire with mulled apple cider and s'mores.

Sunday
Sunday's game will be the Texas variant of Manhunt. Each team is designated a color and a base. Each player wears two team bandanas, and each team captain wears three. At the start of the game each team is given a designated amount of time to hide, after which they may begin hunting each other. When a team member is caught one bandana is removed. All collected bandanas are kept in the team's home base. If a player loses all of his bandanas, he must return to his home fort where he must stay until he receives a replacement bandana of his own team's color and may guard the collected bandanas while there. Four wildcard bandanas are also hidden across the playing field, which can also be given to players who have lost their bandana(s). If it is used, it should be replaced by a team color bandana if one is available, and then the wild will be re-hidden. To win, a team must collect ten bandanas of a single color, as well as two of a different color. A single "wildcard" bandana may contribute to a winning score as the eleventh or twelfth bandana. Players must wear their own team bandanas and carry bandanas they have collected. Adults will be playing as wildcard bandanna wearing rogues.

Looking forward to seeing you all. Spots are still open if you want to sign up.

I don't suppose anyone here is a lawyer.

This is turning into more of a bloody mess than Torchwood One under Yvonne or UNIT with the Osterhagen Key.

Today would have been my daughter's 17th birthday if the Tesseract hadn't taken her back. I hope that wherever she is out there, she is happy and healthy.

FILTERED TO 616 SPIDER-FAMILY:
Listen you three. We've lost half our family in the last few months, so I just wanted to tell you all that you mean the world to me. We're family, and that means no matter where you are or what you need, we'll be there for each other. As long as we're here I love you.

And yes, that includes you too, Kaine.

Is it too early for mistletoe?

Filtered to Anakin Solo:
It looks like I'm going to be out of town for awhile. If you need anything, you can reach me on here.

This is a few weeks early, but I figure I'd better get started on planning this now, rather than wait until the last second. I'm planning on hosting a Thanksgiving dinner at the bar like I have before. Everyone's welcome, of course. All I ask is that you bring a dish. I don't mind if it's an appetizer or dessert or somewhere in between, just something to share around. I can handle the turkeys and a few other main things, but the whole potluck thing worked out well last time.

The holiday season can be hard for those of us without family here, I know what that's like. So why not help each other out? You don't need to let me know anything now, but sometime between now and the 27th, let me know if you want to come and we'll figure out what you can bring.
