Woke up at 5 am, and since it appears that no-one else is moving yet, I've went ahead an pulled out my laptop.

Just starting! Yesterday was the practice and work day, and we ironed out quite a few kinks.

And what if that robot in question has become known by the judges as the "Silver Steamboat"?

You get a robot that manages to ram and/or block every opponent it faces, and return with pretty much no damage whatsoever.

WE WON BY SIX POINTS.

WOO!

How do I have 4g in the middle of nowhere?!

Although I already have posted my dark story on this site weeks ago, I felt that there's still something I could do for the month of Halloween.

Instead, its the scoring points that count, and apparently we've got a disproportionately large number of scoring points compared to ranking, which means that its actually the randomly selected allies that our team ended up being placed with.

Sweetsong slept through Marias Pass, and missed the giant obelisk. She also missed Horse Mountain . . .

Still, she can always come back later and see it in the day. There’s always a train to take her near where she wants to go.
