Actually, it's Euphinatrix.
Sabre specifically told me to write up the backstory now, and not to tell him about it.
And then nail him whenever he contradicts it.

Right. Okay then. Should I be getting a nail gun?

I was thinking more of a Minuteman, but...

@Sabre: Wait, is that a policy now?

I was given to understand that it was the policy you adopted, particularly with regard to Alistair Peace, for instance.
So here's the thing: if you don't want me to use a character you've got in the background, do tell me directly. Otherwise I'll assume I'm free to slot them in whenever plot demands it.

Figured I should mention that I've got work tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that.
So if there's things for me to respond to, it may take me some time to do so depending on what time of day said things appear.

I watched the KGB vs. CIA episode of deadliest warrior today. I imagine that if my character saw it he'd go and ask Clark, "Hey Clark, those exploding cigars you guys used were kinda cool, but where can I get one of those KGB boot knives?"

The Man in Black
Yeah, it's fun but not really accurate—if that many people died on an op to get information, someone screwed up very, very badly.
The bit with the garrote was my favorite part of that episode, actually.

Plus it features single combat involving people who never fought like that, such as Apaches and Ninjas.
Fuck it, I'm just going to let Spoony tear the thing apart since I can't think of anything that isn't in that video to rant about.

KGB vs CIA ? When.did this madness.happen?

Deadliest Warrior, S2 if I recall correctly.

God I hate that show.
The Man in Black
It's fun for seeing impossible matchups, even if they're not so accurate. You have to given them credit, though, they did try to improve, even if that didn't go so well.

I mainly just watch it for fun.

Even worse, they didn't even get the info. It gets blown up in that bathroom when the KGB spike bomb goes off, if I recall right.

Sorry about that; I meant to post yesterday, but then a multiple hour Minecraft binge with friends suddenly happened.

I'll bring the Romanian hooch, and we can commiserate about old times.

I'll bring the smokes, and ammo.
Actually I was talking about Warren's relatives; "don't tell the GM unless plot-necessary", right? It's kinda plot-necessary at the moment. I haven't worked out the details yet, but Warren's probably going to run into some relative or another depending on where he goes.
Until then, you will have to endure the Norinco rifle-wielding little Chinese girl's glare.
