PATH to Hoboken.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Whoops, at various stations in Manhattan there are PATH trains that leads into NJ with Hoboken as one of its stops where IB lives. The primary stop we usually go is the one at 34st Herald Square where the Manhattan Mall is and where Dalton comes in at Penn Station a street away.

Here's a good subway map of the city:

What airport are you getting in?

I could understand get to station at some coordinates, which drops me off at other coordinates(station name, place, time), then some other info which just confused me.

From looking at their website, it looks like they close at 2200 on Saturday and 1800 on Sunday so unless I'm mistaken, we can't actually go there on that day...

Um, is IB's lounge the Stevenson place or somewhere in his apartment?

The lounge is in the building before the building we usually play at. Some of you went down there for sodas once or twice, as I recall.

Well it's not like we've gone even close to 10PM the last several games anyway, so Neutral Ground wouldn't be a problem. However, the lounges look acceptable in size and seating. We run the risk of being detected, but hey, it's not like we're doing anything destructive or evil.

I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything this weekend beyond a movie or something. I've just got too much going on.

This will be a one-off, you will be using your normal characters. It will be designed to showcase and test out my new alt-history version of events leading into Season 9. So yes, it will be Season 9 when we play, but it will be a very different Season 9 from what we are currently used to.

So... we accept Origin, get turned into Priors, and now we're off to the Pegasus Galaxy to show those Wraith a thing or two? Woot! :twisted:

Sounds good to me.

I am at the library typing this as there's a power outage in my area so if there's any drastic updates please call me. Rob and I think Hotfoot should have my number. It's the same number ending with 1421. I finally got another phone for my number.

Thirdfain can't make it today, so anyone who wants to come, please do. We've got to invade someone's planets!

Yay, I have power back!

Twilight Imperium was a fun game. Next time we meet, I wouldn't mind if it's Twilight again.

Goddamn fighters, Danny, next time put them near your system where I can see them. I vote for a new game rule saying they don't count if they're not near any system.
