GenTac-Yang won't be too happy to see his "care package" not get to it's intended target. In fact, I think he may be very, VERY, angry.

Do you want to do the entry of the Hive ships into Laekdaemon or shall I? I'm just working a new post about the assault on Dienkes base.

Wow, everybody's writing tonight! 
I'll start, Franky, thinking about what should happen next in the probe incident. I'll PM you in a day or two.
I must admit I was a little confused by Lonestar's new post. In the future, try and give us a heads-up for things like that, okay buddy?
Keep up the good work, everyone!

Well, errr....
I guess it should be "A Barbarian like Yang," shouldn't it?

Only a barbarian like Yang?
How 'bout...a moron like Yang...
...a neanderthal like Yang...
...a gorilla like Yang...
...a toilet plunger like Yang...
or...
...the Missing Link, also known as Sheng-ji Yang!!

It's good to see everyone back in swing of things.
Here is an update to my page dealing with the new character i introduced.

OK...here's what's up...
I've got a new story post in the works in which Morgan arrives at Firaxis...and there will be a brief interlude into the subject not touched upon yet...individual loss.
Also, I'm planning to write a new story here on this forum called Utopia, about the Retroviral Engineering scare on Chiron. In the 2280s, Commissioner Lal declares a crackdown on factions researching Retroviral Engineering, as he sees it as a terrible crime against humanity. In the crackdown, Peacekeeper scientists are sent to research data to tract down factions that may be researching the stuff. However, one of these scientists, after looking into a particular file, is murdered. A literal death in the datalinks. And to make matters worse, the file is then destroyed. A Peacekeeper policeman, one who firmly believes that Lal is building a great utopia, pledges to find the killer, and the men responsible. Unfortunately, he discovers that there is no utopia.
How does this sound?

Both of those sound very good, History Guy. I for one await them both eagerly.
Looks like the conference is moving along, and things are becoming quite interesting. My new stuff is on the way, including the conclusion to The Hunt. You didn't seriously think I'd forgotten that, did you?

Sounds good History Guy! I anticipate it debut! 
Sprayber-I hope that these two new characters won't be much of a problem to the GHE. 
Well, I was thinking of creating another short story for Nemesis. Seeing as how I've done a Morgan-Believer pairing. What faction pairing would the readers like to see next?
So far I have an ooold draft between:
Gaians-Drones
University-Data Angels
PK's-Spartans.
And I have one semi-epic in the works concerning a Hive propaganda-ist and the rest of the factions..........But BAC comes first! :doitnow:

Any of those would be really interesting, but I like the sound of Gaians / Drones.
And a little propaganda can be a good thing, especially when it's your own.

I just did a search of all threads in this forum relating to BAC, and the total number of posts made in them comes to 3031 - more than a quarter of all posts made in the AC-Fiction Forum!

Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
We must make BAC at least 50% of all posts in the AC-Fiction forum! Must obtain new recruits!

Especially considering that only about 1 in 12 of all BAC posts are actually in the story thread, so by the time we fill it up, we'll be a good bit over half.

Dang, General, you posted faster than I thought! Ok, now we see what Kessel has in store for the beginning of our "little" galactic confrontation....

Incidentally, has anyone here been experiencing 'phantom' posts? Sometimes I receive email notification that someone has replied to a thread, but when I look, nobody has. Odd...

Wizards of the Coast cannot deliver to Australia alone among the nations. People who live in Tajikistan, Mauritius, and Rwanda can receive their Seventh Edition boosters by camel, or something. I cannot.

Who are Wizards of the Coast? I seem to recall reading something about them connected to AD & D...

I get that for PM's. The main Forum screen says I received new PM's but when I check, there isn't any.
Spooky. 
Wizards of the Coast is the company behind the card game Magic: The Gathering. Its a collectible card game that has players challenging each other for fun or for ante (where you put up cards in your collection, whoever wins, gets all the cards put up).
It's pretty fun, but gets freeking costly. I used to play but not anymore.

I say go for it. But don't rush things just because. You should revitalize it when you feel your ready to tackle it again.

Don't stop posting! We must write and discuss until AC-Fiction is filled with BAC posts!
About Wizards, Franky pretty much covered it.
