Don't know if you have seen this banner link at the bottom of a lot of pages, but I absolutely love this guy's blog. Hilarity.

No worries, tuned. Good to see a post from you, Kamina!
And folks, a clone death here or there is hardly a failed mission... It's an expectation. You guys have have six lives, after all.

Subject: hoverbot status
We had a post indicate that the hoverbot was destroyed. This is not actually the case; the craft is quite durable.
It has shut down temporarily while cleanup occurs (and a nw clone is dispatched), but the hoverbot appears to be functional.

Subject: warning! evacuate sidewalks!
If anyone were to write an honest performance evaluation for the new, perfected Alpha-19.87b Friendliness Hoverbot, they would likely indicate that it both accelerates and decelerates in a smooth manner, and that the ride on straight paths is quite steady... even enjoyable.
The controls, however, could use some serious adjustment. It would appear (much to Steam's dismay) that the left turn mechanism is easily twice as sensitive as the right turn mechanism, and that the vehicle lurches alarmingly when conducting any sort of turn.
This is first discovered after the armed forces clone is forced to nearly wrestle the vehicle around a right turn. Similar effort on a left turn has the hoverbot veering wildly into oncoming traffic, causing a teeth chattering crash with a streetsweeping bot.
The next complaint would likely be about the lack of both seating and restraints. It is quite difficult for anyone to maintain balance; even the most stoic of clones find themelves holding on with white knuckled intensity while the vehicle is in motion.
Ah, and the hover fans themselves... safety guards might indeed be appropriate. Said crash causes everyone to be tossed about, and both Brighte and Blowz are launched completely out of the vehicle.
Brighte is fortunate enough to be thrown clear of the crash, and the nimble little man manages to tuck and roll enough to avoid truly serious harm (though standing up reveals a cracked rib or two to go along with various abraisions and contusions).
Blowz, on the other hand, is not so lucky. The earnest, friendly clone produces some truly horrifying screams followed by choking, gurgling sounds as he falls into one of the unguarded hover fans. Some sort of safety protocol kicks in and stps the rotation of all fans after a good twenty to thirty seconds of chopping, but by that point, it is far too late to do anything for the minced clone.
At least the cessation of the blades stops any more blood and gore from being flung onto the surviving clones and/or the interior of the hoverbot.
"BING!" the hoverbot announces in its warm, feminine tone. "Standard event number six: one of the crew has unfortunately fallen to their deaths. Please stand by while a replacement clone is summoned."
At least the crash was with a streetsweeping bot. It efficiently begins to clean up the horrible mess while the team waits for the next incarnation of Blowz-R-UPP.

Thanks for that update. I will make it a point to avoid puntive clone death at this time.

You humiliated me multiple times in chess. That is not luck.
I'll play you in scrabble (I quit playing anyone for a couple of months). You're better than me, but that's okay; I have a chance there, at least.
Not so with chess.
Learning, my eye.

Don't trust Alacrity. He has dismantled me in chess enough times that I no longer care to be embarassed by him.
I would love to see this as a "real" game.

So, we have three active players? Really, half the crew is better than I could reasonably hope.
I'll give the other half a little longer to touch base. I will, however, go ahead and post in the meantime.

Subject: hmmm
By Grugg's logic, I must have had at least one tryst with his momma, Eol.
I am rather certain that I have only met Eol the once, about two months ago. I am also reasonably sure that Grugg is older that that.
It was a good argument Gruggles, but you will have to chalk my name refusal up to questionable taste on my part.

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting
Subject: BING! An update!
Boarding the Alpha-19.87b Friendliness Hoverbot proves to be a minor adventure in and of itself. Not only have the seats been removed, but of course, the seatbelts are also gone. After all, seatbelts with no seats would be inefficient, correct?
The six clones, plus one jackobot, do their best to find spots with something to hold on to. Poor Steam discovers that the opportunity to drive this thing will be particularly challenging - the controls consist of various levers, knobs, and buttons (all unmarked), as well as three pedals. Operating pedals without a seat will be an interesting proposal.
"BING!" the hoverbot intones in a sweet, helpful voice. "Ready to commence hover mode!"
Unfortunately, none of the controls seem to do anything at all.
"BEE-DEE-BEE-DEE-BEEP, superior human," Jackie suggests. "Perhaps you should ask the hoverbot for assistance instead of squandering valuable mission time? I am certain that Friend Computer would not approve of the waste of any resource."
Cheeks burning, Steam follows the suggestion.
"BING!" the hoverbot answers. "Engine startup is a voice command. Would you like to commence startup?"
At the nominal pilot's affirmative response, the four fans blades begin spinning with a horrible noise (though one starts much later than the other three, causing one corner of the hoverbot to droop alarmingly while the other three rise).
Steam grabs the levers, pulls slightly... nothing happens. A harder pull results in an abrupt lurch to the left, which in turn results in a wince-inducing scrape of metal against the parking garage wall.
"BING!" the hoverbot speaks. "For maximum saftey and ride enjoyment, please ensure adequate clearance before initiating turns."
Once the hoverbot is pointed in the apparently correct direction, Steam coerces it to move forward - again with a lurch that threatens to drop at least two clones over the side of the vehicle. Once moving, however, the coveyance *does* have an enjoyable, smooth ride.
"BING!" the hoverbot cheerfully intones. "Next stop, the PLC!"

If any of my players are interested, I'll pick Paranoia back up, and also honestly, really get Zombies in Chicago going again.

I had such great plans to become an active member of the Inn. I had code in place that I was wanting to implement to improve the site.
But I just can't seem to get active. I drop in every day, vote for the Inn, see what's new (not much)...
Somebody kick me!
