The game’s afoot
It’s been an interesting week on the Grand Ellipse. This weekend’s update should be terrific reading.
All y’all are missing the day-to-day writing, though, and that’s a pity. Li does the best NPCs I’ve ever seen, though I’ve yet to forgive her for “Nicky Finn” and for making little Jimmy Pilkington chief meat supplier for Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop. (I bet Li thought I missed that little allusion. Nah.)
And even I have managed to emit some not completely intolerable Victorian pastiche. I’m sure some of the other players have done at least as well or better.
Li says she’s thinking about condensing some of the Grand Ellipse writing and posting it to her website once the game is over. You should, as I do, urge her to do precisely that.
Not least because Shirley just did something that I think was uncommonly clever and devious (not to mention nasty), and I’d hate for you to miss it.
