Arete's my friend, actually. I'm very proud of them. We come from the same community.
Proud of you as well for making it so far in Champs, even though we technically don't know each other.

aw ty! i look forward to playing this one with you!

I look forward to getting obliterated regardless of my rand. I'm not a great player, but I will try not to suck D:
I've wanted to play offsite for a while, and this place looks promising. I can also maybe redeem myself after a string of really bad games where I either did poorly or got toxic out of nowhere. I promise not to do that here. At least the second thing :P

Oh, Aret is here? Pog.

Pog?

PogChamp
I feel incredibly awkward posting this, but sometimes, sacrifices must be made.

He still wont understand it

On the behalf of the Gen-Z committee, our apologies, LC

Pog(Champ) is this emoji on twitch (u know twitch? A website for livestreams) that denotes the face of a guy that shows a very pleasently surprised face to something. His mouth is in a giant O and he is very shocked and pleased

residentsleeper

Hmmm.

Ted, are you suggesting we all turn up the gen z memes to make it so we appear to be speaking an alien language to LC? Just to mess around with him?

But ... what happens when he brings out the grill and asks us to change the light bulb or do some other handywork around the house? What do we do then, ted?

this is pogchamp, LC



also, tutuu, I suggest we run away if that ever does happen

I would have... I made it, and took it as far as I could, but I don't have access to add it to the site. But, with a flick of my fingers, I can type [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] and maybe just get the ball rolling on that!

Plus, what's more "groovy with technology"... using a word to imply a meme, or actually digitally altering the graphic into a usable Smiley?

I can take a look and maybe figure out how to do that.

Mah boi

When Yuri walked into the poorly lit warehouse room, everyone hushed up. He looked around the room and pondered the scope of what he was about to attempt. But it was worth a shot.

All eyes were fixed on Yuri, and he took time to look at each pair. Escapees from political prisons, anti-Putin journalists, activists, and doctors who had seen colleagues silenced for speaking out about Russia’s struggle to contain the Coronavirus. Yes, their stories all needed to be heard by the world.

“Good evening, Yuri said to the group. “Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding. I am speaking English so the man and woman I bring in next will understand what we are saying. Many of you have been in hiding through my network of safe houses for a few weeks, but these two have been hiding and planning with me for over two months now.

“What we are about to embark on is both very risky and very necessary. You have information to share that will shake the Russian government. Our friends here have information that will shake the American government, if not the entire world.

“And now,” Yuri said, opening the door to the next room, “I’d like you to meet our American friends.”

The door opened and Chelsea Clinton entered, followed by Sidney Blumenthal. A few gasps emerged from the group. Despite her hair being dyed a different color, Chelsea’s face was still recognizable to some. No one recognized Sidney, which was just how he preferred it.

“Good evening,” Sidney said. “My name is Sidney, and this, as some of you have realized, is Chelsea. The world thinks we’re dead or in hiding. The people who made the world think that will stop at nothing prevent us from resurfacing.

“Through my connections, and with Yuri’s help, we can escape from Russia together. The journey will be dangerous and tiring at times. If any of us are caught, we will be executed on the spot at best and tortured for information at worst.

“Yuri has selected you all as the most compelling stories in his network of freedom fighters and truth defenders. If we are successful in escaping, our combined stories will lead to global upheaval. There is no turning back from this point. If you are not prepared to die in order to find freedom and share your stories with the world, then leave now.”

Silence descended upon the room. The seriousness sank in and a few heavy sighs were expelled. Eyes glanced around the room, but nobody moved.

“Good,” Chelsea said. “We were prepared to kill anyone who left. That's how serious we are about this. From here on out, you are all committed to the plan. We're stuck with you and you're stuck with us.

"Tomorrow morning, we're going to board a freight train out of Kirov for Nizhny Novgorod. That journey should take about a day as slow as these freight trains travel. From Nizhny, we'll connect with another freight train heading to Moscow."

"Moscow?" someone exclaimed. "Why are we heading into the heart of the Russian government if we're trying to escape?"

"Because," Chelsea replied, "if they're looking for any or all of us, then Moscow is the last place they'd expect us to travel through on our way out."

No one challenged her.

"Now then," she continued, "Nizhny to Moscow is just under another day. From Moscow, we ride about two days to the outskirts of St. Petersburg, where we'll jump the train and either find transit or hike 100 miles to the Narva Reservoir. Sidney's associates will have someone there waiting to meet us.

"After crossing the reservoir and into Estonia, we'll spend two days at a safe house in Tallinn while fake documents are created for us. From Tallinn, we'll take a ferry to Helsinki, Finland. Once we're in Finland, we'll be free to go our separate ways. Sidney's associates will work out those details with us during our layover in Tallinn as well. Both Yuri and Sidney's contacts agree that you are all worth these extraordinary efforts, or we wouldn't be bringing you on board with our plan. Any questions?"

No one raised their hands, but you could tell that they were all deep in thought. After the hell each of them had been through just to reach Yuri's network, it was worth trying to make an end run around Putin's headquarters to find freedom. Everyone nodded in agreement. Yuri smiled.

"Then it is settled," Yuri said. "Tomorrow morning, you all move on. Sleep well. It will be an early start."

While Yuri was talking to the rest of the group about what to pack for the journey, Sidney and Chelsea slipped out the door they had entered earlier and made their way back to their safe house, away from the rest of their soon-to-be travel companions.

Ok thanks. Done that now.

Sign-Ups for this game have filled up. I will try to send out roles tomorrow night, but the game will not be able to start until Tuesday, October 6th around 9:00 p.m. EST.

Tomorrow I have some work to do from home, and Monday is my daughter's birthday. Unless one of the folks voting 'yes' in the poll backs out, this game will go live on Tuesday.

Woop woop

I don't even know why I get excited, but I do. It's not like I'm a mafia machine in the thread these days. Maybe I'm an addict.

My phone's so excited, my browser glitched out when I tried to respond.
