Thanks for doing this… would you mind making it a regular thing? I’d really really like more of this kind of feedback from the players, a summation of what (they think) is going on. Granted, this was a perfect opportunity, but if y’all could find more reasons to do this kind of thing more often it would really, really be helpful for me. ---

My observations, out of character, are this: - BrianJ’s observation list is right - The supernatural spirit(s) are trying to relay a message through the TV’s at night, probably about something that happened in the past there - Perhaps around tax day? In 1946, the year before the building was finished? Making this the 40th anniversary? ---

To those of you who had equipment cards: I have recalled all the cards; I find it’s easier to keep track of who has what by keeping the cards on the HQ screen, so we’ll do that from now on. If you need to know, scroll up in the gameplay thread or ask me what you have. If we meet in person I’ll gladly show you the ‘map’. ---

IF Louis stays behind we will have noone to carry a trap, is that correct? Maybe he can give his to Liz? ---

Doubtful that any trap will be needed until after 8 but Lou will hand off his trap to anyone who wants it. ---

I let Gerald pick up a trap from the GhostMobile’s storage, although I too doubt it’ll be needed… yet. 😃 ---

So, the plot thickens. 🙂 I’m going to question the kids and then we can meet down in Dons flat to share what we found out. ---

Hey guys, sorry for my lack of attendance lately. I’m going to have to drop out of the game - things are getting rather busy for me right now. **Phnord,** I had a really fun time. I see great things ahead for your game. Same to everyone else. ---

Sad to see you go, Johnny Bravo. I found your Gerald character entertaining and would have liked to see him develop more over time. Hope things get better for you in the ‘real’ world! Know that you’re welcome back any time you feel like it! ---

You should have had Gerald slip and fall off the top of the building or something. Only funnier, if possible. Like aim his proton pack backwards and blast himself. 😃 Sad to see you go! ---

**I’m assuming most of us are just going to find a spot and watch the TV at 8 PM. If that is the cast, I’d say feel free to advance the story even before midnight tonight, then allow us to make actions based on what we see happening.** Or not, just making a suggestion. ---

Seems rather limiting! Yep. This was before she got cable and it served as a spare remote after. One button for on/volume/off, one for changing channels. I think that remote and the TV it goes with have been relegated to the basement. ---

ROFLMAO and all that… that was a fun update to write! I admit I struggled a bit here… would it be too much to have Dr. Panama actually shoot the Ghostbusters? I don’t know if it should get that dangerous that quickly… Then Brian said something about police, and I literally laughed out loud reading it. Ooops! You’ll see later why this was the Exact Wrong Thing to Say to Him! haahahahahaaaaa! And then Louis and Kristopher both rolled Ghosts, and I had to… _HAD to!_… have him open fire! BOOM! Heheheheheee… Can’t wait to see where this goes from here, he says knowing what kind of evil plan he has in place already but still wondering how it’s all going to turn out! ---

I’ve been following this story, and I have to say that Lute’s guess as to what the doc’s up to certainly makes more sense than mine… Since Johnny Bravo’s dropped out, is there an opening for a new player?
