[OOC] The Pit Stop

[lostcheerio]

You’re doing so great!

[stepanxol]

Yeah, it sure feels weird coming back from a long hiatus to... this. Very nice, though! I really needed some creative brain-flexing.

PS and in the meantime we got to 26 posts...

[lostcheerio]

Past the halfway point and only 12 hours in — that’s incredible!

[stepanxol]

yeah, we've been applying ourselves

Most of the credit of course goes to banana (he did so much more than I) and to the starting material. Setup was a breeze, the pregens are great, the whole thing just works. Kudos to you (and Filly if she contributed, did I understand correctly?)

Anyway now I'm going to bed, it's 2:30 AM here, talk to you later! Bye!

PS keep up the tug of war while I'm gone!

[lostcheerio]

Thank you so much! Yes, Filly and I wrote the material together. I just posted everything so the threads have my name on them but they were a joint effort from the jump.

I think we're all about to bear witness to the fastest finish as it happens. Truly amazing! And an inspiration!

[ElderOblex]

This sounds so amazing you guys! Can't wait to read it all!

[bothers]

I'm taking heart from Aesop's fable about the tortoise and the hare, and banking on step and badger complacently falling asleep at post 47.

[Dworin]

My character's rolls are steadily improving. At this rate, we may expect a successful action in post #3. If there's anyone left to act, that is of course.

[bothers]

Our finale is just going to be a smoking hole in the ground.

[Dworin]

Not a bad achievement for a not-wizard, I'd say. But not the finale I had in mind.

[stepanxol]

Meanwhile we're back at it. My character just swore that she only rarely devoured undeserving people. If that's not a serious commitment to good, I dunno what is!

(banana woke up at like, 5am to resume play. i'm dumbfounded)

Announcement #2 7/10/2023 8:14 AM | They're Off! This is day 2 of the race! We have six teams on the course and incredibly it looks like we may have a finish coming soon! Stretch that ribbon across the line, get your confetti cannon ready, and release the doves. Then get the doves back because we need them for the next racers to come through. squirmonkey and Mitsubachi: post 11 bothers and Dworin: post 5 bananabadger and stepanxol: post 31 lostcheerio and penbeast0: post 7 psuedenim and bananabadger: post 1 Everyone is doing a fantastic job -- keep going! Glory awaits. There are no more starts until tomorrow, so today will be about squirmonkey and maybe also me rolling on that plot twist table, bananabadger and step sailing into the winners' tent, and the rest of us cantering boldly onward.

[bananabadger]

It's a race, but it isn't that type of race is it? More of a rally?

[stepanxol]

We're up to 34 now. Using an IM has been crucial (we use Telegram), the OOC thread would just not cut it...
