Topic: A Cold Day in Hell Q&A Subject: okay
Thanks for the room order.
As for the wiring and such:
The station has distinct electrical circuits, and the main laboratory is definitely on its own. As stated in the previous post, the machine itself appears to be on a dedicated power feed, apart from even the lab power. In theory, one should be able to trip a circuit breaker. In addition, the power control room should provide another power access point.
So no, it should not be "kill all power or none".

**smites Grugg** I even went to a rhyming dictionary, and discovered that loaf is almost as bad as orange. Unless we allow people's last names, we're not gonna get any more rhymes.
Quit trying to kill the thread! Difficult rhymes are fine. Impossibles irk the webmaster.

Topic: How much are you paying for gas? Subject: close...
...add in a couple other factors, too.
Refinery companies make less profit on gasoline than they do on diesel, heating oil, and other products - which means they produce less gasoline, whcih means less supply, which means higher prices.
OPEC nations unfriendly to the US have cut their output and refuse to raise it to keep pace with demand. If they were subject to US law, they would be in serious trouble for price fixing, antitrust violations, etc. They are not subject to such laws; sucks to be us.

Topic: yet another movie thread... Subject: am I the only one who posts here?
From Netflix this weekend: The Pathfinder.
I wasn't sure what to think of this movie coming in; all I really knew about it was that my local theatre has featured a cardboard cutout display with a guy fighting what looked like a huge monster. So I was figuring it to be some low-budget borderline fantasy flick, and would have passed on it. My son thought said cutout looked very cool, and we ended up putting it on our Netflix list.
Turn out, this movie is actually a bit of a hidden gem. The premise is that a Viking boy of ten, maybe twelve years old survives some sort of shipwreck/disaster and is picked up by an Indian (read: Native American) woman, whose village agrees to allow him to live with them.
Fast forward to his adulthood, and another band of Viking marauders has landed. The young man, who thinks of himself as an Indian, is faced with the terrifying invaders (who are portrayed like monsters... the armor is quite scary, and the warriors are incredibly cruel and brutal), and some choices.
Warning: this film is quite gory; no blood is spared. But the plot is smooth and well told, the acting is good, and everything looks great. If you're looking for an adventure flick, I'd defintiely recommend this one.

Yet another new Innmate from 'Bama... woot! I considered tossing a lot of cornpone-soaked silliness in here, but just couldn't manage to do so this early on a Monday.
Welcome to the Inn... fresh faces are always welcomed, and those that know their way around games tend to find themselves quickly assimilated into our community. If you need something, don't be afraid to ask.
Otherwise... enjoy.

**grumbles something about people should look at their own maps**
You haven't been into either auxillary laboratory (rooms 12), nor have you been in the testing laboratory (room 11).
I need to double check the posts, but I do not believe you have been in the mess hall (room 5). Seems like you WERE going there, but never made it.
That's it for this level - there is a staircase (leads down to the tunnel) situated next to the mess hall, and only accessible via it, but it's not really a room.

Excellent post, Brom!
Make sure to either give the team orders on how you want them to proceed, or post the room sequence here. You don't want the nasty GM assuming anything.

Topic: Rhyme time! Subject: Rhyme time!
The purpose of this game, as you have probably figured, is to post a word that rhymes with the post above yours.
To keep things flowing, we'll do it in chains of five, like so:
Person #1 starts the chain
people #2-#4 post rhyming words
person #5 posts a rhyming word, then posts a new word that starts a new rhyme chain.
Got it?
Okay, and the word to start the game is...
shark.

Topic: yet another movie thread... Subject: Narnia
Took the kids to see Prince Caspian, the new Chronicles of Narnia movie.
Wow.
To be fair, I never read the books, so nothing is "changed" for me. I'm judging the movie on it's own merits, period.
The CGI is a step up from the first movie (which was admittedly very good). This movie is quite a bit darker, with a grittier, more violent feel... this is not the wide-eyed wonderment version of Narnia we saw in the first movie. A *lot* of beings die in this film. This is a fantasy world, no doubt, but not a glittery fairy tale. However, there is no gore whatsoever; I noted that no one's sword ever got bloody, despite the fact that they were used a lot. A tiny nitpick, and one of very few I can come up with.
I won't reveal any spoilers, but let me say that a new character stole the movie, and had me in stitches. The Narnians were great, period... there is one scene where you know that quite a few are going to die, and a great deal of emotion is subtly conveyed... you feel very bad for them. Great job on the filmmaking.
The children are a bit older, and once they return to Narnia, are apparently quite a bit more practiced in the arts of warfare. In the first film, they went from being neophytes to being competant. In this installment, they perform like heroes from Lord of the Rings. Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but it works.
Go see this movie on the big screen, you won't be disappointed.

...it's $3.89 per gallon in my town in Alabama. Of course, in the South especially, there are few mass transit options - we have no subway, and only minimal bus routes. So if you want to work, you drive.
