PBEM turn 4.0 (1 of 3)

TML message #1198From bundle 101

Well, turn 4.0 is finally here.  Looks like a two-week
turn schedule is about what I can actually accomplish.
Sorry about not being able to do more - but sh** happens.

As I was preparing this turn initially (way back when..)
I had to make an extended driving trip to Eastern Oregon
for family stuff.  Lost an automobile engine 40 miles
from the nearest town.  Took four days to return to
civilization.

This last week, agora went off-line for three days while
the sysop put in a newer, faster, bigger disk (it's about
time).  Simultaneously, the cost-cutters at work went
after the uucp phone budget and axed my mailing anything
from oresoft.

*Huge* backlog at agora.  (Anything to mailed to oresoft
I bounced to agora - so it might take a little longer
before you hear from me.)

The result of this is that it seems *something* is going
to make sure we don't any more than one turn every two
weeks or so.  I'll keep trying to work one week intervals,
and we'll see if it gets any better.

Mmmm.  My SO (aka Rachael Turnskaad in another campaign) :)
just brought me some hot brownies to keep me awake until I'm
done with this tonight.

=================================
Relevant stuff below:

Go ahead and send in your department descriptions.  I'll include
them as they arrive.

If your character is psi, trained or just sensitive, and is willing
to communicate (or overhear) telepathically or telempathically,
send me a note, and I'll make up a psi group for our alias files.

I tried to draw the Alcyon.  It wound up looking more like some kind
of fire demon.  Any volunteers?

That's all for this week.  For the time being, people who don't send
participate in character interaction are assumed to be "working" and
are not socializing.  That is, you didn't get left behind.
