It's all gone a bit quiet. Maybe we should take turns telling stories to amuse ourselves?

I see what you did there.

Behind the scenes, things are moving along nicely. A few more administrative items and we'll be ready to start, probably sometime later today or at the latest early Wednesday. Once Day One starts, it will last longer than most Days - all the way until next Thursday, June 28, in order to get us on a regular schedule of Thursday-Saturday-Thursday.

Given the circumstances, emulating Scheherazade might be a good defensive measure.

ha ha ha! i saw that too. Stanislaus, do you have any tales to share?

useless information (except possibly to impress a girl): while Shakespeare would write about the lives of the rich and noble, Chaucer wrote about the common folk.

Our journey to fair Canterbury,
Lacked any sense of amore,
Some woke up stabbed,
While others were grabbed,
And lynched in a unseemly hurry.

One day as I laid down to rest
In a den for my safe-keeping
Wait a sec, wrong book.

I met some scum with 7 knives...

OK, all - just waiting on official permission to start a new thread, and we'll be ready to go for Day One.

I think storyteller said something about starting thursday so the day/night cycles line up correctly. I'm betting we'll be up and running tomorrow.

eta: nevermind, I just re-read that post. First day will last until 6/28. Maybe we'll be up even sooner than tomorrow!

Yup. Going to play frisbee with my daughter before bedtime and starting Day One immediately after. Look for it around 9-ish or thereabouts.

Since the game hasn't actually started, I'll go ahead and chime in: why not roleplay someone else, so you don't risk giving your role away? There are other characters in the story, right?
