Despite being here long enough to know what having to say this means, I refuse to let this game wither. I know people have gotten busier, but I will update tomorrow night - hopefully I can get a clarification from Doc, and an update from K Prime and Aloicious by about 24 hours from now. <3 you all.

Go ahead and post. I didn't have much to respond to from Foo's post. I figured Bean's question was just for Sethro, and doesn't really involve me. Unless I misread something. If I did misread something, please let me know.

O.K., I went over things a few times to figure out what I missed. I see that the one time Ebbs name wasn't bolded, I missed it. No big deal, I can fix this. I'm thinking I need to edit my last post, but I'm confused about the "How does she react?" question. Am I supposed to respond with how Bean acts? Or am is Ebbs supposed to react to hearing that.

is she calm, does she visibly react, does she get upset, that general sort of thing. I'll take off and run with what she does specifically, but I want to know the feel of the room after the message. Does that make sense?

Hey Foo, can you clarify what Jackson-52/Gyger are seeing right now? I was under the impression that we were the only ones at the W&W wall but I guess that's not the case?

Okay, so no Puck, Paris & co. there yet, and Sansa is still behind the wall but heading for our position. Am I reading that right? If so, good, that was my assumption/understanding.

you're more along the northwest/west side; I assume sansa is heading to where the main entrance is on the map. The entrance you're fighting near isn't really on the map I don't believe

I didn't think he would get a leg right away. If I thought he could get the leg right then and there, he'd stay. I'd like Ebbs to have both his legs for his finale.

up to sethro, but it seems like he'd be willing. Y'all can backtrack and post as need be, and I won't have ebbs show up at the fight until he's ready

Yeah absolutely, I was imagining one of those ones you just sorta pop the remaining leg into and do up some straps and stuff.

Suppose it would take some work, what with height adjustments and such...

Let the record show that The Island began on April 2, 2014, and completed(!!!) on February 5, 2015. Epilogues, final NPC data, and debriefs to come, but I want to thank my players wholeheartedly and thank everyone that submitted a character or contributed an idea that made its way to the thread. Couldn't have done it without you guys.

Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure.

Thanks for making my first real forum game a great one! It was interesting how separated we were, not the sort of thing that would work in a physical game but it seemed to work out to be pretty rad.

Also Sethro is my favorite character name.

I've honestly been eagerly awaiting Jackson's arrival, as I've put it at 50/50 that they either become friends or Jackson just caps him outright.

Compromise on him shooting you in the leg and then becoming friends.

It's okay, I could've shot you in the leg and then had the bunker medbay give you a new leg!

Probably would've just been friendly, though. Jackson-52 wasn't really the type to shoot people when talking worked.
