Running Penelope Yin's first mission this morning, saving Doc Delilah, I found it was quite fun if you speed boosted the Doc. Just a Note. :-)

Scary.

I think we've pretty much got this Sewer Trial/Slay the Hydra business down to an art form. Emerald Blast is parked at 39, sitting on the mission, and
I'd like to get back to running her full-out again. She's already got the badge, she's just holding the mission so we can get anyone else covered
who hasn't done it yet. After this weekend, one way or another she's going to out-level it, so I'm throwing it out here.

If anyone's still interested in doing the trial, shall we aim for late Friday (I won't be available until after 9 Pacific) or Saturday morning sometime
before Ankh's Eden trial? The last run took a whopping 40 minutes, if I recall correctly. Link to the first thread here, which includes the successful strategy and other goodies.

(Virtue blueside, just in case it matters)

I like you a lot
You’re funny and kind
So let me explain
What I have in mind

I want to be your personal penguin
I want to walk right by your side
I want to be your personal penguin
I want to travel with you far and wide

Wherever you go, I’ll go there too
Here and there and everywhere and always with you
I want to be your personal penguin
from now on

Now, lots of other penguins seem to do fine
In a universe of nothing but ice
But if I could be yours
And you could be mine
Our cozy little world would be twice as nice

I want to be your personal penguin
I want to talk with you night and day
I want to be your personal penguin
I want to listen to whatever you say

Look at these wings
So perfect to hold you
I’d like to say again what I have already told you
Let me be your personal penguin
from now on

Wherever you go, I’ll go there too
Here and there and everywhere and always with you
Please may I be your personal penguin?
Imagine me your personal penguin!
I wanna be your personal penguin
from now on.

(Thank you for reminding me, Bob.)

My nephew took me for a tour of Ottawa yesterday morning, and I took some photos. "So what?" you ask? Well, my nephew's a pilot...

The best of the photos are on http://web.ncf.ca/fm536/flightphotos/]this page, which I hastily threw together so it isn't laid out very well. (For every photo that's there, another 27 didn't make it. It was hazy yesterday morning.)

Okay, after clearing it with Kat and Joe, I'm finally posting the link to the photos I took on vacation last month. If you're at all interested in what is essentially a vanity thing on my part, you can find them on Flickr here. Oh, and a minor warning -- although I've gone through and done the geolocation thing for every pic, I haven't gotten around to adding comments to them all yet.

After some truly bizarre delays, I finally managed to get my mits on this PDF product. I'll be trying to digest it, wrap my mind around its concepts this
evening, and then maybe I'll see what I can do with it here, if that's all right with everyone.

And having seen what they're doing with the 4th edition of D&D, Bob, I now completely understand where you were coming with earlier about this edition
of GURPS. Whatever it might be, that is not the game I thought I knew.

I'll just let this excerpt from Posi's 4-year anniversary
address speak for itself:






"I can't tell you how excited I am for our game's future, and although we have some major announcements yet to be made, one of the things I
can talk about is a feature that we are planning. Similar in concept to our character creator, it allows you, the players, to create missions and story
arcs for your characters and others to participate in. You'll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and
any clues needed for the missions. When you are satisfied with it, you can upload it and have other players across all servers play it and rate it. Fame
will come to the players whose stories rate the best overall. It is features like these that we never dreamed of including when we first shipped, but are
excited to be able to offer players very soon."
