<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Important General Notice:</span></strong></div><br/>As Vincent seems to have got himself banned (Something which doesn't surprise me too much) We now have a rather interesting situation.<br/><br/>We have a full team of characters but we are one player down. I'm open to suggestions.<br/><br/>Option 1: Writers, are you willing to play two characters? Your sniper is probably not going to have too much to do during the actual mission, and as you have already recreated Oni for us I'm sure Anne could work something out.<br/><br/>Option 2: We get another player in to take over Vincent's character and everything goes ahead as planned. This could put a delay on the game, and I would need you lot to help find someone to take the role on.<br/><br/>Option 3: I advertise for a new player to create a new character and we hold the game until that person appears. Given how hard it was to find someone willing to play the sys-op this time, I don't hold out much hope. Seriously, for a bunch of computer nerds, you'd think there's be a lot more sci-fi geeks out there!<br/><br/>Option 4: We go ahead without a sys-op.<br/><br/>Talk to me, please, people.<br/><br/>This is your game as well as mine, it's just that I'm running it! Please use this thread. It's there for you to communicate with me and each other.<br/><br/>I am very much afraid that this attempt is going to go the same way as the last one. Last time I had two people drop out during the briefing without warning. At least this time I had some warning (Note my prophetic statement in my previous OOC post.<br/><br/>At least if you were having random chatter here I'd know you were all still interested, while waiting for the occasional busy person to post!<br/><br/><strong>Equally Important: I will be away from the 5<sup>th</sup> to the 12<sup>th</sup> of Feb.</strong>I'm taking my sweetheart on holiday to the Canary Islands - somewhere warm and sunny and not outrageously expensive.<br/><br/>Barring acts of<em>Force Majeure</em>, (Those things your travel insurance doesn't cover you for anyway), I should be back on the 13th.<br/><br/>I will try to post on the Saturday morning before I go, and thus you will only have to wait a week for me to post again, and you can always have some interactions between each other.<br/><br/>Amazon is my assistant GM, and has full authority to deal with any issues that crop up in my absence, and is also allowed to post for me if it becomes necessary.<br/><br/>If we can get the briefing done this week, (tall order but possible), then I could have Anne fall asleep on the journey to the target, or something. (Old soldier's trick, sleep when you can where you can).<br/><br/>Anyway... Talk to me.
