If Baffler ever ends up with subordinates, I am perfectly fine with using danger room training on them. I am also considering going a different direction with Baffler's jobs in game. More to come on that later, when I can fully flesh out the idea.

That's it. I know what im doing. I'll PM you in a bit oh Fortress Master!

I didn't realize until now that off the books stuff would be going on...

This should fit well with the character. There isn't much Baffler wouldn't do for some hazard pay and a decent reason.

Just got myself established in an apartment, and intend to work to convert the lowest layer to cobblestone. After that I'll settle in collecting wood and other such things. Wood in particular seems to be running short.

Also, I like how there is this big huge hidden entrance to the fortress rail network (which takes like 15 minutes to ride all the way ) and just a little door on the surface above it that leads directly into the heart of the city.

I stopped reading the first one when I saw what those congresspeople had to say about it.

Rep. Tim Griffin, a Republican from Arkansas, seemed to blame Democrats for the shooting, tweeting, “Stop the violent rhetoric President Obama, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. #Disgusting”
On Thursday morning, Griffin tweeted, “Is violent Democrat language resulting in real violence? Dems said “yes” previously. Just saying.” He has since apologized: “The shooting today is a terrible and inexcusable tragedy and an act of terroism. No one but the shooter is to blame. I tweeted out of emotion but agree that the timing was not helpful.”

Fuck those guys.

The NBC report is a bit more helpful, and assuming it's accurate I don't really see how else Capitol police could have responded. I'm just sorry this happened at all, and especially for the kid.

This can either be the impotent rage thread, or we could discuss this as if it was a tactical move rather then that of idiots who somehow run America.

Okay then, I can get behind this.

Do you think the Tea Party's showing in the House considers this to be brinkmanship, or do they honestly want a default if it means shutting down the ACA? In this light, the former is likely true, because the latter would also mean a serious blow to things they actually like. I think what will end up happening is that Boehner manages to shut them down at the last minute, and pass something to kick the can down the road by a few months. From there it's just a question of how far. If the Tea Party, or Republicans in general for that matter, do well in 2014, it could mean that they could push the issue more effectively, but at this juncture I don't see that happening easily.

Misko made a good point a few pages back. These people are not representing everyone in the country, they are representing the people in their own districts who sent them to Congress on their behalf. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but IIRC they are still reasonably popular there, where it actually matters. At least more popular than anyone who runs on a democratic ticket could hope to be. They MIGHT be ousted by another Republican but that wouldn't make much of a difference for our purposes.

*Sees pictures*

I'll be right over. I'll just have to see if I can find it...

Coordinates would be appreciated.

WARNING: BRAGGING AHEAD

I can do anything that needs doing. Are there just empty rooms I can claim? And do we have a fortress administration?

I was just pointing out the typo. I can see how you could have got that though.

in the event of a government.

Of all the places to omit a word...

A lot of people, mostly staff who are necessary but not particularly important, are expected to come in without any pay, too. Are they accounted for in those figures?

I'll just leave this here.
