Finding out that Chris had been back in action since July really made me feel behind on my gaming blog reading. I hear that, John.

Then the cops ask questions etc. etc. We ended up always maintaining both a 'public base' and a private retreat. The public base would (inevitably) be a beat up warehouse somewhere that we could drop our own (disguised) crates & containerized gear into. All hell breaks loose on a regular basis - we end up the ambusher instead of the ambushee due to really surprising things being in those decrepit crates... then we load up and pick a new warehouse. (Evicting tenants as necessary ;) One thought on the ‘Bases with Traits’ meme:

It looks really good. So does J.D. Wiker’s LiveJournal. I liked his dissection of Cinematic vs. "Cinematic". There are a lot of good game theory blogs out there now. That's great, but I don't have time to read them all! I read through some of the stuff on deeper in the Game. It looks really good. So does J.D. Wiker’s LiveJournal.
