The heat becomes more intense as you approach, and you can see that the draft from the hot air is pushing the door open slightly in your direction.</p> <p>You push back, and get a blast of hot air and bright light in the face from the flaming interior of the kitchen. Water pours in spurts from the hose onto the floor in front of you, which is a mix of wood and flagstone, but wood right here and not yet afire.</p> <p>--M. J.

J. Young 30141@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>You have about a hundred pounds of sand in two fifty pound burlap sacks. Beyond that, you would have to use dirt, which of course you can dig up pretty much anywhere.</p> <p>You hear the water splashing erratically against the wall from the outside, as Matt and his crew try to keep the fire from spreading.</p> <p>The kitchen door does not latch; it swings. The fire has come through from there, and part of the door has burned away. It is off-center to the opposite side from where Matt is working.</p> <p>--M. J.

Once we get to the kitchen wall, I'm going to have to breach in order to get to the source of the flames. This has been burning for a while - there's a severe risk of <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdraft'>backdraft</a> if the kitchen is pressure-cooking itself. That's a good way to get us all killed if we don't do it carefully.</p> <p>That said, I'll plan to breach where the wall is coolest - farthest from the most intense heat - and start sandbagging immediately. I don't want to use water for this because the water would be superheated almost instantly, and steam burns are another good way to lose some of my best people, so we'll go with sand, because at least hot sand can still be traversed with good boots and lots of layers. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-29967 Wed, 03 Nov 2010 22:14:57 +0000 M. J. Young 29967@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>In a seemingly unending three minutes two men enter wearing masks, and you point them to the tables you want moved. Before they've moved one, your man returns with two more volunteers, who get to work on the table moving project.</p> <p>It of course involves moving tables to move tables, but a path is cleared and your bucket brigade gets to work. They start dowsing the flames, pushing the fire back slowly toward the kitchen wall.</p> <p>--M. J.

There's got to be some way to get those tables away from the fire...</p> <p>I'll ask one of my men to get two strong-bodied volunteers from the watching crowd to put masks on and come move those tables, to create a fire- break where it will be harder to spread. Then I need my bucket brigade driving the flames back with the water from the non-pressurized hose.</p> <p>At least the ceiling isn't on fire...</p> <p><em>Current outstanding projects:<br /> Meeting with my prospective tenant.<br /> Working with Jacob on fireproof suits that don't weigh us down.<br /> Talking with the General about expanding to new offices.<br /> Training a new Commander to replace me when I get moved to said new office.</em> </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-29255 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 01:41:57 +0000 M. J. Young 29255@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>You feel the water filling the hose, and it pours out the end. You don't have nozzles, but the hose isn't the sort that you could pressurize anyway, so it's like having a continuous bucket, or more like having a movable pump spigot.</p> <p>The water pours onto the floor. With the door now open, the smoke is coming out. You don't see fire above, but there's quite a bit of it ahead, two-thirds of the way across the mid-sized dining area. The wooden tables are set with cloth covers and napkins along with metal tableware. The swinging doors to the kitchen are burning, and the blaze is worst on the other side of those doors. It's spreading on a curved front, working outward from that door, so it's closest to you in the middle but has worked its way to reach the side walls along the partition from the kitchen.</p> <p>--M.

Smoke is starting to come out of the window, though, and it's getting hotter.</p> <p>It takes an interminable number of seconds before the door starts bumping a bit, and you hear the sound of someone trying to work the bolts.

It was easier and less clutter because we were mostly moving ahead at the rate of one training period at a time, with interruptions based on GE rolls. It's a bit tougher with you, because most of the focus in your game is on the crises, which move forward incrementally almost minute-by-minute at times; but if you copied a text box from a previous thread periodically in your posts that listed those things which were still pending, stuck at the end of your posts maybe<br /> <blockquote>quote</blockquote> or <ul>list indented</ul> they would stay fresh.</p> <p>I would say I'll do it, but at the moment I'm not even entirely certain what belongs in it.</em></p> <p>The front door of the restaurant is locked still, and when you hit it with your shoulder it does not open.</p> <p>The owner apologizes; it unbolts from the inside.

J. Young 28179@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p><em>That's reasonable. It would run smoother in game if you approached it more on the order of, "Assuming that we've built that tanker pump truck Tara suggested some months ago, I'm going to hook the hose to that and...." That way I don't wind up questioning what has not been mentioned for a long time.</p> <p>And yes, long-term parts of play get lost. It's an artifact of the two conditions here, one that of necessity play-by-post games move very slowly, and two that I have more than the usual number of players for that reason. Keeping track of this many game worlds in my head is not simple, and the notes I make on them are limited and still difficult to review. It happens less in games (like Eli's recent training program) in which everything is moving quickly and nothing is changing on a daily or weekly basis).</p> <p>I should address the problem, but at the moment I don't have any really good ideas other than devising a new software program specifically for tracking Multiverser calendars for individual players--and my programming skills are limited to Basic, and Basic doesn't run on XP, apparently.</em></p> <p>They roll out the tanker, and connect the hose. The one tun cask strapped to the frame is about half full, which gives you about one hundred twenty five gallons in it. It was built such that it barely clears the top frame of the main doors to the station, so that you get some gravity feed, with a shutoff valve between the pump and the barrel to keep it from running out; the pump pressures it out, and there's an air valve at the top that has to be opened to relieve the internal vacuum. There's a ladder up the back and across the top to reach it. Lars climbs to the top to open the relief valve.</p> <p>--M. J.

I had put in a request for it then, and I'm assuming a few months is time enough to have it built. <em>(For some reason these long-term wait-for-results things repeatedly keep getting lost - you would never have remembered that business with Jack Sparrow if I hadn't mentioned it again, for instance - which is why I do things like this, assuming that it worked if I haven't directly been told it failed, because the alternative is that all of my plans fail by default as they simply never resolve at all.)</em> </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-28045 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 21:31:36 +0000 M. J. Young 28045@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>I'm trying to remember whether you had a tanker of some sort. My thought was that you were pumping water from the well (which has its own pump) out back. I remember that we were talking about getting a pump system that would move water from the harbor to the warehouses, but that had to do with pipes of some sort, not a tanker.</p> <p>I'm assuming that you can get the hose to run from the pump behind the station, through the back door, out the large front door, and across the street to the driveway in front of the restaurant, but not actually inside the restaurant. You're inland so the pump system (if it was finished yet) that drops pipes into the ocean isn't going to help unless you've got some sort of trough, and you've only got the one hose anyway.</p> <p>Correct me if I've forgotten something (it won't be the first time), but otherwise assume that your hose runs up to the front door and stops there.</p> <p>--M.

We don't want this spreading..." </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-26363 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 19:58:09 +0000 M. J.

He was finished with his shift and just waiting for you to arrive when the alarm sounded. It seems that Louie came in to start breakfast and found his kitchen already ablaze, but by the time he gave up trying to put it out himself and got back outside it had spread forward to the dining room, and it was well established there before it broke outside for anyone to see it. Matt's shift was already out of the building and headed home; the whistle called most of them back. Your shift was just coming in and not fully awake, caught off guard walking into an emergency to which they had to organize the response. They're really just getting the equipment out into the street and starting to draw water from the pump behind the station.</p> <p>Matt would be most grateful if you would help get this together. It would be his first fire in command, and he doesn't know your people so well.</p> <p>--M. J.

Wait a second, isn't this the place we eat lunch practically every day, seeing as it's right there? Oh no, not Louie's! Best Korgan food in town...</p> <p>I'll run up and find who's got the lead on this one, and see where they're at and what they need. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-26134 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:52:29 +0000 M.

I'll see him in a few days, and good luck with searching. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/harrys-game/page/30#post-25995 Wed, 13 Oct 2010 01:51:17 +0000 M. J.

There are import and export taxes which find their ways into the prices of goods but support all the functions of government. Also, although you know the prices of inns and rooms you've not actually seen a rental property akin to yours to ask the price.</p> <p>You name a price, he seems to think it fair (or if not, he doesn't indicate otherwise). He asks if he can get back to you in a few days, as there are some other options open to him.</p> <p>--M. J. Young </p>
