Twonky burns out (but in an unexpected twist, this time by laying a patch of rubber rather than spontaneously bursting into flame) and screeches to a halt at the original starting location.
Spin Bot attempts to moon walk. The effect is clumsy and not at all convincing, yet he still manages a general backward motion.
Squash Bot and Hammer Bot each turn to the right.

Twonky updates his archive location, potentially leaving the valley of conflagration behind him.

Turn 11 cards have been sent out.

Turn 11 processing may be a bit delayed. I am going to be moving soon. My ability to run the game will be hindered somewhat by all the packing, schlepping, and new ISP obtaining.

I hope to be able to run Turn 11 before I lose connectivity, but expect to be back in action by June 11. Hopefully sooner.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Tue May 25, 2010 10:03 pm

Excuses...

how are you moving all your stuff?

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Fri May 28, 2010 1:52 pm

Renting the biggest van that Penske offers (24'). Loading it up one day and then taking off extremely early the next morning (4am is the target). Should be at the new place by supper time.

As a bonus, my father is driving down with a truck and open trailer to help move some additional bits, such as a disassembled playset.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Mon May 31, 2010 1:39 pm

Moving day is looming, so I think that I had best announce my absence now. I should return some time after the 7th, assuming that I can get most of my crap sorted out over the weekend.

Sorry for the delay.

Good luck with the move. Personally I detest moving but am always excited to be in a new place. I realize I make no sense.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 12:15 am

I am back in action. Not 100% settled in yet, but enough that I hope to be able to resume the game late Monday evening.
