Grinding of the worst kind. |
As things currently stand, there is _significant_ advantage to frequently checking the blog to see if the lights have just turned off, so you can sneak off to another room and avoid being attacked (or, if you’re a Murderer, to attack before anyone can move away). This will be the… |

“Consecutive” questionnaire |
All rune sequences that we deal with this Dynasty are likely to be finite in length, so I think we can agree that it will be unnecessary to ever specify “finite sequence” from here on. We will, however, be needing to refer to one sequence being “inside” another, and the… |

Skirmish the 4th: The Final Chapter |
Clucky wins an Artistry Skirmish with a Skirmish Rating of 18 (Chivalrybean 12, aaronwinborn 10, Amnistar Jack and spikebrennan 4, lots of zeroes, Yoda and Rodlen negative, Bahro -25) even though the expected artistic assistance from Heimdall was absent. Abe Lincoln becomes female. Emperor Norton causes Bahro to lose a… |

Skirmish 3: The Return of Charisma |
Notes on the most recent skirmish: Pharoh Necho gets -2 and +1 to Charisma from his abilities. Loki gives -2 to Charisma for each of Clucky’s Einherjar; Churchill raises Shakespeare and Hildegard to his level. Totaling up the Skirmish Ratings, Asgard clearly beats Folkvangr, and aaronwinborn has the highest, with… |
