Well, here we are,
again.
Con season is over (for me, at least) and my work is
finally starting to normalize a bit.
I will be putting up some pics from GenCon soon
and will let you all know how to find them. I got pics of all the
players that showed up except David :( I don't know how
I missed him. I also have pics of Mark's really cool new setups for
all of you that missed them.
After the
problems last turn with the virtual 'bots firing on people, I've decided
to start changing the colour of the 'bot depending on it's status.
Up and running will still be obnoxious green.
Virtual will be blue.
Shut down 'bots will be fuchsia.
On to the
turn...
This was a
relatively easy one to do. What with 1 more 'bot dropping out
(Trundle), 3 'bots asleep (TBWNN, Simon, & Griffon), and 3 'bots dying
in Register 1 (naaaah, that would be telling...read on, McDuff).
SETUP
Trundle doesn't send in programming, again and
implodes.
AS400, Khaffest, and Red Siren are random (one
more random turn for AS400 or Khaffest and they are out).
Khaffest comes back facing...oh, why not
west...and let's take away his high power laser.
TBWNN, Simon, and Griffon are sleeping this one
off.
