Eddie looking up from his hot cider to take in all the banter about who has what and plans for the reported next raider wave. "I can loan out Toxic Risk a ATG+HMG combo Ape wit twin HRs on the back if needed for the next go round. The Finger3 hopes to make the wave after this." Looking to the 2 other guys at his table who don't look like they have ever shot more than a BB gun " You better be as good as you say you can be or ill shoot you myself!"

Squirming a bit one responds "Hay man I just drive trucks don't know why I'm even here and this fool can't hold his drink in line with his mouth, your real crew is a week or 2 out still sir."

Sandy slides up to Eddie's table with a cluster of beers.

"Well at very least have a round on us. May be worthwhile to remember that last time someone lent us a car it came back in a pretty sorry state and I spent most of my time outside of it taking pot shots with my rifle...", she pats the weapon slung over her shoulder with an affectionate look on her face.

"We'll probably wait till a bit before the next attack to make a decision, never know who may have what at that point. Still the offer is appreciated."

She meanders over to the bar to grab another round before heading back to the booth by the fire where Jose is spinning an old blues tune on harmonica accompanied by Cathie on a ukulele, looking minuscule in her large, battle scarred hands.

"Cidar, beer..." Clint thought to himself for a bit and then looked up at the bartender. "Where do you get this stuff? Is there an old stash around here I don't know about?"

"Walmart."

"oh, of course, Wal.. wait what?!"

"Enough about this rat .... you call beer, we just got back from a raid in the mountains and pulled home a Strongarm, Gallow and Blitzer. So we should have some gear for defense if needed. Heh, Walmart."

"Änd just to add, we have parked and dragged over what gear we had and placed it in the market. Grab if you need it. Some have some small scraps of paper with notes on purchase, might be wise to pay attention to 'em."

(OOC)

Bast, Cider/Beer = Rat piss. That Rat burger was alive once ya know, doing nature calls in some canning jars. ;)

I've noticed some players may not be aware of all the benefits you get defending Morgan.

When defending Morgan successfully there are 3 areas that can benefit the players characters quite a bit when compared to SS.

1-Participating in the events will give you accelerated training for any skill used in the event. Assuming you participate in all 3 events, even if you lose and your characters live, you could still see gains of at least 6 points per skill used assuming a minimum of 2 per event per skill. Considering you could even get 3 or 4 per event, it can add up to quite a bit for just 3 events.

If Morgan is successfully defended, a few things will occur.

2-The training form does not come into play when training kicks off that week. So your characters that are stationed in Morgan would have a better chance at higher skill gains than they would at other towns due to training form affecting how well the character trains.

3-And the most known benefit is that capped characters keep training in their capped skill for an additional 10% above their cap.

Morgan is like end of game content you see in MMO raids. It takes coordination, strategy and determination to get the job done.



Sure you could let your guys sit in SS gaining the usual 1-5 per week in weapons skill and not have to lift a finger to get it. But like many things including Morgan, the more effort you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

OOC: All the more reason to participate. Morgan defenses are quite a challenge, so this is a nice reward.

I will be there for all of them, until I can't....:)

OOC: Thank You for that valuable information! That was definitely some stuff players needed to know so they don't bail when the going gets tough and a defense is lost. I personally have seen my gangers get better training boosts per defense than most scouts I do in any other town. Even the scouting and driving boosts just from transporting supplies has been huge! I am definitely staying put in Morgan!

I think there was something about characters needing to be training the skill they want to increase past cap. Which is implied by your statement, but just to make clear.

Minching Andrew, sat back in sat feeling much happier than he had for a long time. Things were starting to pick up now. He looked at his crew sat around chatting about their first run into the mountains. Even Maid looked happier and wasn’t fussy over her missing leg.

Yeah - the couriers were up and running, though the lost of Crystal Knockers and her super charged Apache was a sore point, last seen entering in the mountains but hadn’t made it Morgan. But the Buccys were coping with the mountain roads better than expected and Shrammed Damato lived up to his boasting and got his Apache through.

And few days back, Minching had stood at the gates and watched as Stuggy Franz brought in a convoy from Gateway. An Osprey had lead the way in through the gates followed by two Apaches, brand new from the garage in Gateway. Plus he had brought 3 replacement crew out with him.

Then at dusk yesterday, Minching had ordered them out on a hunt, pay back time for the recent lost. Somehow Right-on Rene had managed to get them out the mountains and in to the swamps, hunting Yetis - and they had found them too. Left behind 3 burning wrecks and brought home a near perfect chomper.

Yeah things were looking on the up.

OOC

1 squad active in Morgan hunting the gangs

3 Couriers running bring stuff in

1 Chomper going on the market when repaired

A better week ;)

The Mayor, while sitting at her desk, she turns to side and faces her typewriter. After tapping away at the keys for a good 30 minutes, her official document is done. She gently pulls it out and places it inside a silver lined picture frame. Holding it up to see the finished product, she nods and grins.

Savannah gets up and grabs her coat. Placing the picture frame under her arm, she opens her office door and walks out...heading towards the Inn.

Once inside Morgan's Inn, she walks over to the fireplace, pats off a light layer of snow. It is quiet inside, most of the gangs lay sleeping....tired and sore from last nights defense.

Scanning the wall above the fireplace for a minute...then, she points to a spot dead center, "That is the perfect spot", she says to herself. She takes out a threaded hook from her pocket and hand turns it into the wall... then hanging the framed document for all to see.

Savannah wishes there could be a better time for this, but there is another defense looming around the corner that must be planned for.

Tobias walks in and sets his things down behind the bar, as he usually does this time everyday, as he readies for business. "Whatcha got there Mayor??", he asks. Savannah turns and tells Tobias the details.

"Since you are here Tobias, I can at least make this somewhat official as you are my witness to the deeds listed here." Savannah then steps back to where the frame is hanging, turns and faces about.

After clearing her throat....the speech starts. "As Mayor of Morgan, it gives me great pleasure to make this announcement. On this 24th day, October 2067, let it be known that the town recognizes The No Aiming Just Shooting crew, specifically... Cathie 'Sgt.' Major for her efforts in last nights defense. This document shows proof that her selfless act of courage during battle will never be forgotten. Risking her own life by vacating the safety of her vehicle, Cathy "Sgt" Major, continued the fight on foot while at the core of the battle. She was hit by enemy fire.... and did not go down. She stood tall and repeatedly fired back until the last Pirate was taken down.
Accompanying this document is this medal of honor and courage which can only be handed out to those who put personal sacrifice before their own well being to help and support their comrades in battle".

Savannah pauses in a moment of silence... being humbly grateful that she has such great gangs supporting her efforts to keep Morgan safe.

She walks over to the bar... "Thanks Tobias....for being here". Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out 10 $100 dollar bills and places them in a tip cup. Shocked...Tobias asks "What is that for?!?!" Savannah smiles, you give my guys a nice place to stay and rest battle after battle, for that, I am eternally grateful". While pointing to the tip cup, "Half of that is for you....the rest....well....the boys deserve all the booze they can drink!" Savannah shoots a wink at him... "Don't let their mugs run empty either, they are all a very deserving bunch today!"

Jose "Silent One" Price nudged the huge, sleeping form of Cathie "Sgt." Major. She snortled and then opened her eyes, reaching for her rifle before noticing it was just Jose. She raised her eyebrows in question at him - his only response was to point over to the middle of the room where Tobias was standing.

She gently slid out of the booth, careful not to wake the bloodied and sleeping form of Sandy who's legs were covered in swathes of bloodied bandages - she'd never walk properly again but hadn't seemed to care after the two bottles of vodka which stood in for pain killers round here.

Picking her way round the bodies of various gangs sleeping crews, all her comrades in arms in her mind now, she made her way to the middle of the room to look at the proclamation.

"Well I'll be damned" she said in what was as near to an inside voice as she had.

"To be honest if were gonna be given some fancy award then I reckon one should be going to the Raging Scav's and Renshai as well. No way we coulda pulled that off without them - we would have been so much meat for the grinder. To be honest I dunno how them Scavengers still had their wheels under 'em, let alone their guns still blazing. And those Renshai dudes, hooning round in a pho and doing as much damage as any of us in our 'paches, that's balls of steel right there..."

She paused with a look of befuddlement on her face and then grinned, a huge happy smile.

"Still, won't say no to the recognition... dunno what we're gonna do for the next one though, we beat up them religious boys loaner 'pache pretty good."

The door to the tavern crept open gently and the slight form of Dennis Sweet slid in, careful to not let out the heat and not let in any noise. He scuttled over to Cathie with a grin on his face...

"Just got word from Lupe, the next convoy got jumped in that god forsaken swamp but they got away. They'll be here before the next attack, apparently in something called "Chilly Willy". Timmy Fowler is gonna be stationed up here too."

Cathie quietly laughed, who the hell thought it was a good idea to let Lupe name their cars in the first place.

"Come grab a drink with us Sweets...", she gestured to the booth that had become their impromptu home here...

Minching Andrew stood in the doorway and looked around at the battered crews sat and lying around the bar.

He wished that he could get his squad out to join the defence, but the timing was always wrong.

Well at least he had a one bit of good news to pass on.

He quickly walked over to the bar, “Hey Tobias, listen we pulled in a chomper last night, we got it all fixed up and ready. If any of the guys doing the defence need a ride, send them my way.”

“Also if you see any of the guys from Chrome Religion or Renshai let them know I got a engine for them each.”

Looking around at the crews knocking back the free drinks, he shock his head and dropped some more money on the bar, “Make sure these guys get something to eat as well, they ain’t going to much use to anyone if they’re too hung over to fight.”
:p

OOC: Just an announcement to inform all Morgan Defenders. I just got approval From Sam and changes for scheduling town defenses has been implemented. Defenses can now be scheduled 30 minutes in advance instead of 24 hours.

What does this mean? It allows any player I see logged into client lobby the opportunity join in on a Morgan defense within 30 minutes of the current server time. It also allows me to push back the time 30 minutes that could give other players time to join in.

There are times the lobby is full with little event activity. Now those players, if they have gangers in Morgan, will have a better chance to participate in a defense.

As of now, most defense times have been between 0600 - 0800. The reason for that is that's when the players who want to defend are normally logged in. That time window can now expand to accommodate more of the player base.

I currently host every defense, but that is not mandatory either. If I get a large enough response from other players that can commit to another time slot and have a squad of players to defend, I will get a day and time slot set up for you.

Any players that want to get in on a defense and haven't had the chance, PM me or post comments/questions here. I have a surplus of vehicles and weapons that can be loaned out anytime to players that don't have anything in Morgan except gangers. And, if you don't have gangers in Morgan, I have transport runs that depart from BL and GW that you can join to get your guys there. Allow enough time, BL is a 14 hour trip and GW is 12 hours to get to Morgan (Speeds Set At 45 MPH).

Don't forget your jacket.... it gets a bit chilly up here!

SSE also runs cargo between BL and Morg. Anyone needing a rider from BL should give me a hollar and I'll clear a seat in one of my "Workhorse" class A armor, 3.2L PUs.
