Bravissimo! Arthur! Cody, which of the Amazing Five do you want to play again? *** PiercIrishBessi is now known as TheBrig I guess you're gonna have to write Bond into your story David. Applesauce!! As Fred's beau. I think I did better this time. lol nah, he can chase after Pat Savage;-) Yes Duncan, you managed to hang in there despite the rocky interruptions. Well done. to David, Will Drax be in your story? Pat Savage is Doc Savage's wife? Having missed the first time I can't really use comparatives but I thought you did very well cousin You certainly got lots of experience of a bad mIRC night :-) drax will be blank personality still Yes David, you have to feature Drax in the rescuees. They do get cured though, right? From Canada right? By story's end? yes they will That's what I thought. How many eps? I be Drax regenerates after he's cured. did you want to play Johnny, Cody? not sure, 3-4 I would think Hey guys, so you don't miss it I will be MIA next two game weeks. But please do play without me. I'll come back for part 3. Any of the "companions" just let me have an idea who you need so I can research my character(s) will plan on doing that Any requests from DisneyWorld? to JenKoko How many regeneration does Drax have? okey dokey, Cody Um at least 11 I think. We never regenerated him. I was a big Doc Savage fan, but it has been a while nothing I can think of at the moment, when are you leaving? Tuesday. Pray for dry weather. And after he is cured it'll be 12? will do Just have a good and safe trip After the 2 feet of snow we're sick of the precipitation. I'll get the background and script out as soon as possible No, it goes in reverse Duncan. If he regenerates he has 10 regens left. Night everyone, have a good weekend! oh oh, cause the rain is headed for GA A timelord can have 12 regens total. Night David 13 lives. Night David!
