Lord save us from....

1) GZG LARP. If I see a LARP crowd at ECC, I'm 
getting some tabletop gamers, setting up a 
hasty ambush, and setting off a CDM. That 
ought to calm them down. If not, the 
wargamers among us will have to back off to 
orbit and Nuke the Hotel.... it's the only way to 
be sure. 

2) A rampaging Atkinson. We all know why. 
("Able to leap (or at least deconstruct) tall 
buildings with a single bound (or charge), faster 
(on the draw, at least in e-mail) than a 
speeding bullet (and just as sharp), bulletproof 
(or insensate, one of the two), and known to 
have a fatal weakness to Kryptonite (aka certain 
kinds of appealing fiction, such as Romanic 
successor states)"). The dog ain't sleeping, but 
let's let him lie. Or maybe feed him a pile of 
tranqs. :) 

3) Historical arguments over 1 ACW. 

The 2 ACW, which is entirely fictional, would 
probably be more interesting to argue over. 
Anyone thought about who fought on which 
side? How the course of the war brought 
General Parham to ask for UK aide? How that 
aide was spun such that every 'Merican didn't 
rise against the "Tyrants from Across the Sea"?
What did Canada do while the US was tearing 
itself apart? Just throw up a border? Were we 
overrun by US refugees? Were we a base locale 
for one faction or the other? How did Mexico 
figure in? Were any NBC weapons used? Etc. 

Probably far more interesting for the GZGverse 
crowd than arguments that sound like they 
should be on some rec.history.boffin list....

Just my 0.02, out of the blue.

BTW, does anyone realize eventually their will be 
a GZG FultonCon in Tasmania - they'll have 
enough gamers they won't even NEED to invite 
anyone from anywhere else.....

(And even with all those kids, Beth will still be 
the Queen of the single pip.... apparently 
Kochte's Probability Skew Demon is more of an 
individual curse than a genetic inheritance.... 
either that or they inherited their die-luck from 
their dad).
