Thanks for writing everyone. After far too long on Yarnspinners Classic it is strange (but nice) to have all these other people's stories to read.

There seems to be some sort of delay in hosting this turn though. Is something up, Tauren?

Hey Friends!

I am going out of town this weekend until Sunday evening.

Thanks.

Tauren is on a vacation down in Texas with his mother. His internet access is spotty at best down there. I have not heard from him in several days now so he may be having technical difficulties. Also, his cell phone seems to be turned off and I have no desire to try and track down my ex...

I am sure Tauren will surface soon.

New turn is finally out. Looks like I wont be able to do this regularly until I get home Wednesday, so just bear with me until then.

So are we supposed to do yarns for Turn 6?

Absolutely!

Well, I am assuming the yarns are done AFTER Turn 6. I am using results from Turn 6 in my narrative, so I can't finish with my prose until after it hosts.

PashaDawg · #**228** June 7th, 2005, 11:22 PM

Good point, P-Kat. I shall wait until after the host, but I fear that the narrative is swiftly turning tragic for the good folk of T'ien Ch'i. Good thing this game is about writing and not winning...

Don't worry Pasha: my own troops still have trouble figuring out where is the business end of a sword.

And pointlessness galore: I have used the Gender Genie on all our yarns for turn 0 and turn 3, and it appears that we are all males, according to the bot. Sedna and myself are the least males, with a very marginal difference (virtually no difference at all), and Djo's male part doesn't have much of a lead over the female part.

Figuring out the cases where the bot is wrong is left as an exercice for the reader.

Before, after, details, details...

I intentionally decoupled (or loosely coupled) a lot of my story from the game to make the writing easier, and more interesting to me.

I second that thought, and a big thanks from Vanheim to TC for making us look not so puny. And keep in mind that your neighbor to the N is not a ravening land-grabber like the purple-legionnaire-snake-people.
