I'm not sure how far I'll go with it, but I'm starting to focus on the Wiki part so that at least important character names, places, and organizations can be found somewhere without having to comb through the entirety of 2 threads.

The Taris Event
Nicely Done!
I've also been busy updating our combat grid tool. Here is a screenshot:

Yeah just go ahead and apply a -4 to all rolls on anything after 9am.
I said I was sorry about the porkchop thing :shun:
The penalty isn't the porkchop thing, it is the "I'm so wasted" thing. I don't expect you to be the functioning alcoholic you normally are.
Yeah, I too was on my phone at that point and that was easier to type.

What I wanted to ask was whether that -4 was because of being drunk or from the expected hangover/withdrawl I'll feel upon waking.
I was assuming to make up for last time you would be drinking 3-4 times your normal alcoholic intake. So like normally you probably operate with a constant level of buzz. I was expecting you to be blackout, hugging hobo, fall asleep in the street drunk.

@Bulwark: Uh...wow. You win.

BTW: If anyone wants to send PM me their PUBLIC character backgrounds, leaving out details that only the GM should know for now, I'll be happy to add those to the Wiki. Either that or sign up for Obsidian Portal and let me know and I'll grant you control of your character.

Bulwark, you're in charge of your own character now.

Pat, I promoted you to GM, so now while I can contribute, I can't add new players or edit Bulwark. You can add players, NPC's, and either of us can edit the other PC's until they're assigned to real people (because I'm currently the "player" behind all of the PC's).

Ok. This evening I won't be as active as last evening write up wise, but I will periodically check it.

I added some placeholders in the adventure log for what we have done so far.

Thank god that was Bulwark. When I saw TINSTAAFL as the title for our current status, I was worried that there might be more pain ahead. Now I know that it's smooth sailing from here on out, right?

It's been 2011 for over 3 months now, so 2003 is over 8 years ago :-P

I was just discussing with my best friend the other night over drinks that we are right around the point now that we've known each other and have been best friends for literally half our lives...which is no mean feat considering we're in our late 30s.

My friend, James, and I have been friends now for 23 years. He and our mutual friend, Ken, have been friends for 28 years.

For comparison purposes, my sister is 27 and Reese is a fucking zygote.
