Having completed the ELF cycle last game, the cast and crew of Twin Peaks decided to play a recovery game AND see if they could improve a category score. They didn't really accomplish either. Losing Hank Jennings hurt, but we really couldn't justify saving him even though were only 3 turns left in the episode (he already was -AV). Of course, knowing how the show ended, we'd love to go back and risk it now. Also we'll miss James Hurley for the next game, but he's still useful to the team even with -MA. One of the extras got the VP this episode, just like the previous episode (where we hired Catherine Martell and Benjamin Horne).

With the season being effectively over, other than these encore episodes, the producers FINALLY came through with the money. Those cheap bastards! I see what they did, waited til most of the interesting characters were dead or maimed so they wouldn't have to pay out as much salary. We MAY be able to hire a new Wardancer for next episode, but that would mean NOT hiring the extra from this one, so I'll have to give it some thought. Loss of ratings (-FF) isn't that big of a deal, will actually lower the TV a bit and make it easier to start climbing next season.

Thanks for the tough game, black_devil_laughing. Our games are always close. Congratulations, you handed the Wood Walkers their first draw. Good job, beating up on my 4 journeyelves who had no Wardancer or Catcher support ;)

Skills (3):
Shelly Johnson - (1 2) Block. With no current Wardancers and only 1 Catcher with Block, someone needed to start hitting back. Shelly's been waiting for her chance to shine, and her time has come. Go get em, Ms. Double R!
Benjamin 'Ben' Horne - (4 2) Dodge. With the loss of Hank Jennings, and the soon-to-be retirement of Bobby Briggs, I figured it was time to start getting some more Dodgers. Besides, Ben Horne is a slippery weasel.
Catherine Martell - (2 4) Dodge. Ditto above. And Catherine Horne is a sly minx.”
