Heres an influence roll from Fool to try and make his comments seem exaggerated and funny.
Influence 3 charisma 5 = 8 dice 6, 1, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4, 6 = 4 hits. |

Lindt, dude, just wondering how that roll makes for three hits... Anyway, you two are awesome. Now I gotta think again, and that makes for a great game. Woke up all sure what my promised post was gonna be this morning, and now I have to get my head around how in the name of all the saints Grack will respond to that display! |

Well, we had a real good discussion going on that a page or so ago. I think ultimately it's up to grendel, but he asked for input and a lot of us have stated our preferences... |

HMMMM - rereading my last IC post and then seeing some of the responses, I am afraid Grack's minimalist style of expression may not have been clear -
The line about "you've got hez, no drundeah" was intended to be directed at Doc. That said, it might be natural for people watching or listening to assume he meant Fool. Either way, actual result same - Fool made a joke, and in the end Grack was sitting and listening to music, no fighting. To make things a little clearer, I altered one word in the last IC post - but it won't change anything - just swapped "it" for "troll" in my internal thoughts (Grack only thinks of Doc as an "it" - everyone else gets real pronouns - but I see that that might not have been clear to anyone but myself). No change in what people see IC, but might help all us real-world readers follow better. Sorry if there was any confusion. |

Yeah, I was under the impression that he was talking to Fool, heh.
I will edit my post a bit later today to include Doc's response to Grack, because it seems a little bit odd without one, now. |

@adamu: yeah I was just checking to make sure every one got their vote on. :D Not fair to the others who are not present IC if they don't get at least an OOC say in the name.

For what it's worth on the subject of gang names, I have to go with (of the ones proposed and still floating around)
Kingsgate Immortals or October Ravens Though the second one does bring up images of Jason Lee in my mind... go figure. Could always draw in some references to the holidays of Samhain and Winternights that fall on or during Oct. 31 - Nov. 1 period. Both of which are "new years" celebrations... some significance could be drawn into the whole "new time, new gang" references I suppose. Meh, my creativity of how to adapt either of those however is just not there today. :( |

@Grendel: Seeing as how I'm in charge of the "banner" is there a specific image you wanted? Cause I'm crap at art. :D Yeah go figure, the artistically challenged guy goes for the most skilled artist type char.
@Artists: Now's your chance to shine guys! |

So - we all were told to register for the Event that Winter had planned. Was that it? If so cool with me.
Or are we supposed to sit tight at the locations we registered for and wait for the GM's planned Event? |

@WR1
While Thumper doesn't really know where he's going he's going to make his way generally South and use his building exits knowledge skill to find someplace from which people could rapidly escape and whose exits are not easily accessible from the exterior. Other than that his criteria are fucking big and fucking invincible. Int + Building Exits # dice 5 :: 5 3 6 5 5 -- 4 hits He's also hoping to beat someone up and find some alcohol (in some order). Int + Perception # dice 4 :: 6 6 3 2 -- 2 hits |

Here's what a raven in flight looks like, if an artistic one among us feels like making a drawing based off it.
Oh, also, a group of Ravens is called an "Unkindness" |

Hey guys.. when it rains it totally pours.
If life-changing stuff wasn't keeping me away from DSF enough lately, my now basically dead computer definitely will. I'm hoping to be up and running sometime next week, and if not I can try to pop on from work but I'm making no promises. This is just a friendly heads up with time stolen on a borrowed computer. Sorry guys, I'm trying to get back, I really am. Just when I think I've got it all worked out, something else tries to stop me. :( |

All -
The planned event was the gathering of the gang. Grendel basically did it for me, so ignore that event and keep moving. My top DITG priority is freeing up Vegas and Rob as well as Mister Juan and Voorhees from their current situations so they're free to meet up with the rest of the gang and be a part of moving things along. I'll try to get to it ASAP, but as I said, it's been crazy this month. I will squeeze the time out as best as I can. My apologies again for the slowdown this month. |

Hey i know its late but thats why god invented edit. How about the gang name: "Chaos Legion" Or "Kingsgate Immortal Legion"(KIL). Those just came to me the other night and i had to share even if its to late. I was like you know we didnt even try to make any names with the leaders name in it. Legion is a pretty cool name to include in the gang name heh.

Well lesse.
IC: Ink is trying to curry favour with the bos man by patching him up. Grack and Thumper are searching for a new HQ. Fool and Child are assigned to finding transport. Doc is assigned to finding drug making supplies Bocks and Nevada have potentially escaped the firefight Shade, Aziz and Felix are at a real hospital OOC: I'm fine, floating around the net in my usual hummingbird manner. Winter has major RL commitments for September. But we heard from him earlier. Vegas had health issues then her/his? comp broke down. The rest of the gang might be around I'm not sure. Guys? And that's all the DITG news that's fit to print. This is Meriss your friendly local webcaster signing off. Remember if its not news its Fark. :D |

I'm still rocking and rolling, though I'll be out of town for the next few days. I'm currently trying to come up with a suitable retort in Thumper's ongoing conversation with Grack

Yeah, I'm still around, mostly waiting for Winter to give me the go ahead to get home safely and start cooking, but I don't mind waiting a bit. I'm liking the grack/thumper dialogue, and there's people who have been waiting longer than I have.

Ok... I'm SLOWLY catching up with the little time I have but the computer is back and in working order (knock on wood)
Have to re-catch up with where we are with Nevada/Bockscar in combat and I suppose we're waiting on WinterRat for that resolution/extrication so we can all get reunited and become the happy family our little group of miscreants are destined to become. |
