We need some more people! I’m so psyched by this set-up, and I’d love to get things rolling by Wednesday or Thursday if possible. I’ll see if I can recruit a few more folk from the other board, and if there’s anyone that any of you know who might be interested in playing, please let them know about it. I promise a rollicking good time. ---

I was wondering how the thread got to over 200 posts before the game even started. Should have known Zeriel’s dick would have something to do with it. ---

**Gad** - 32 people and you want MORE? Over on the Geeb, **PizzaGuy** is thinking about half the game will target him N1. I’m picturing such an event as colliding with the Hitler Assassination Time Travel Exemption Act, paraphrased as: “Time travelers are not permitted to so much as attempt to assassinate Hitler, because otherwise EVERYBODY would try it and their time machines would get in each others’ way.” ---
