You know, people are idiots.

I mean, Houston is mostly transplants from everywhere else. So when Rita showed up and everyone was stupid and killed more people trying to leave than a hurricane would, I wasn't surprised. Now the East Coast is getting hit and I know it's happened before. Not usually big or that far north, but shit happens. In such a case, I would think that one of two things would happen. One, they would want to get the fuck out of the way since they hear it's bad. Two, they would listen to people, like Gulf Coasters, on what to do to stand their ground if they so choose. So far, everything I've seen says they're either trying to do the first, many at the last minute, or the second but without shit in the way of real preparation.

Are we surprised that public services have shut down or that things are being tied off the day before? We shouldn't, but I guess some are. So when it hits and all is said and done, if you see any people on the news floating back up in the waters left behind, know that they're probably people who were dead set on weeding themselves out of the population. They seem to be a constant wherever you go.

Bison, I hope you are one of the better off. If you're afraid you're not, then PM me for advice if you make it through this.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Only thing I'm worried about is the drains on the streets, don't live near a river like the Passaic, which is notorious for flooding, flood stage is only 7' so a lot of houses will be

flooded, and the high wind, now they are issuing Tornado watches...

The ultimate smiley. I like it.

Well, you can't help that without moving and all. So, don't worry. Besides, you can survive floods as long as you don't get cocky and jump in the water. As for tornadoes, it's the same as a hurricane. Center of house, away from glass, mattresses or some type of padding if need be for flying/falling objects. I would say a basement would do for tornadoes, but flooding rules out using them.

 Agreed....

Be safe.

Thanks....

Yep, we need all the RPers we can get. Make sure you don't leave us hanging.

Yeah, I just got off the phone with Dallas, Greyhound that is HQ for dispatchers, and they were informing me of the cancelled run till Monday, so I will have a little time working on lore and graphics...

Have fun with the graphics. Pretty, but I probably wouldn't ever end up doing them. Then again, Supreme Commander offers some great scenes for such a thing.

As for lore, I'm not a major player right now, but I guess I should throw in a post with the meeting coming up and all. Everyone needs to get their shit in gear for that.

Yes yes I know.

Speaking of which, where are you on the subject? Pirates aside, are you sending anybody or are you too distracted with the Advent to get over there? I know waiting for us to get freed up is annoying, but I wasn't sure if you were more dependent on us than just that.

Well J'rah is already there and his entourage is coming soon. Lord Ryat shall soon arrive with ship plans to sell (aka flagship). Xenon has the pirates.

Okay, so you do have more involvement to come.

I think so.

I intend to buy and build immediately since Siv is planning on showing up in one.

yeah you 'think'

So what are you going to pay?

nothing

I always figured you for a thief.
