Next Game: Friday July 14th

Let everyone know if you’ll have a problem with gaming this Friday. As far as I know, we’re all still OK.

As ever, I’ll try to update the log— if you get there first, that’s great.

OOC: Do we have a plan we can implement? If not, let’s brainstorm, so we don’t waste the whole session figuring out what we’ll do.

Next Game: Friday, July 7th

(Well, Next Game: Friday, June 30th has become Next Game: Friday, July 7th. No other changes necessary.)

Having dealt with a nasty “rebel pirate” attack, it looks like our liner’s on course to hit the station next session. With our good friend, the administrator’s nephew, we’ll enjoy a little light gambling on station… and maybe figure out a good plan for taking the place for the rebellion. (As ever, I’ll update the log during the week, unless you beat me to it.)

Hilzoy and Charles discuss Islam

Charles and Hilzoy have a dialogue about Islam:
Charles begins with a post; Hilzoy responds, and later then she expands her point. Thereafter, Charles writes a post grappling with Hilzoy’s inclusion of cultural humiliation as a factor. Hilzoy explains why cultural humiliation is important to understand, then she continues to explain how technological progress does and doesn’t relate to the concept.

Next Game: Friday June 2nd

UPDATE: After miscommunication, the session was canceled.

Maybe. We’ll need to make sure Dad thinks he can make it, since he’ll be headed up to Kristen’s graduation from CSUS the next morning way too early. In comments, please indicate which weekends you’re free to game. For now, Jim, Scott, and Jen are big drags this month.

May 26th: Unavailable
June 2nd: Good (Dad’s off to Kristen’s graduation the next day, but he’s sucking it up. Yay game!)
June 9th: Unavailable [Dad’s off to Eric’s]
June 16th: Good [though we’re off to Chris and Holly’s wedding the next morning]
June 23rd: Good [so far…]

The campaign log has session five sketched in. Expand on whatever interests you.

Strange thoughts in line

Last night I did some grocery shopping, then headed to Chipolte’s. I parked a short distance away and noticed a pair of paramedics getting out of their truck. As fate had it, I reached the door just before they did, so I held it open. They walked through.

Perhaps fifteen seconds before the paramedics had gone in, a couple had walked in the door. The line was reasonably long, but nothing outrageous.

We’re standing in line for a minute or so, when a guy walks in the door. He passes both me and the paramedics and joins the couple. Then, perhaps feeling guilty, they wave the paramedics forward, ahead of their expanded party of three.
