Game Log – winter 2013

Not much to say.

The group kept to themselves in their camp. With regular guard watches and patrols set. Of course after many cold days of dullness no one was very happy with going outside to stand around. So guard duty became short shifts that quickly rotated. Ranger Bob continued to make recon trips around the local area, stopping in to see a few of the friendly farmers every week or two.

Boredom was the big enemy.  The four wind turbines provided enough power for essential systems, ( heating, water pumps, kitchen, security system, a few lights ) but never enough for everything people wanted. Never the less Kellyanna insisted that there should be a movie ( usually a few anime episodes ) in the TV room every night.

Keeping warm was a challenge on the colder days, because the heat system could not be run at its full ability. People started warming up bricks in the wood stove and putting them under chairs or in beds.

The food supply was no problem, although Farmer Brown was not at all happy with the harvest, it had only been about half of what he expected the land to eventually produce. But with the basement stock rooms full of canned goods and stuff, surviving the winter would be easy. The problem would be next winter, when they would have to make do with only the crops they grew.

Who was sleeping with who;

Scott Trucker and May Lin, a long time couple was doing well.

John the activist and Mary the hacker, had lots of fights, broke up and got back together.

Katerie stated seeing John the grunt, neither seemed to take it very seriously, but they were stable together.

Doc Ward started seeing Katerie’s sister, this proved to be a more dramatic relationship, he alternated between too much studying or drinking, she yelled a lot.

Kellyanna and Yvan were the camp’s most watched couple because they always seemed to be doing something romantic or silly. No one would ever forget the way Kellyanna dressed up in anime-nurse costumes to tend to Yvan after he got shot in a hunting accident.

As spring drew near the group started talking about how they should handle relations with their neighbors, especially with the town of Sackville.
