No worries. I'm more than happy to host and/or organise an even more
salubrious venue than the college (somewhere more fitted to the majestic
dimensions of Castle Kevin). Aug5 is just into the first week of next
semester but since I'll have had 5 weeks vacation, it shouldn't be a hassle
to scope out a place.

The plan is, indeed, medieval brickwars.
The loose plot is, Quirk was "killed" by stonefish poisoning during the
Melbourne jaunt and was launched into space over Pukapunyal on the return
trip. For plot reasons he was buried in a stasis casket that could survive
re-entry, so he ended up on the planet which had an approximatly iron age
teklevel. Since we've found out that stonefish poison only makes one "mostly
dead" and not "all dead" a rescue mission must be mounted. Of course, for
plot reasons again, it is decided to go 'undercover' to find Quirk and to
use the local teknology level (dispite that fact that camcorders and faze
rifles would be much more efficient, I guess the producers wanted a
'dress-up' episode).
Nice of you to volunteer scenery but I refuse to give a 'non-destructable'
tag to it, sorry. Part of the fun of playing with LEGO(bricks) over, say,
gorgeously painted lead minatures on finely scuplted terrain, is the licence
to make it go bang and liberally scatter the component peices everywhere. Of
course moving target are much more fun so your building may be OK (most of
the time).
James (who has just looked up the word salubrious and found it approriate)
P.S. Perhaps we'll play by James Brown's simple LEGOWars rules rather than
the Brikwars rules. See

for details (or lack thereof)

| (...) Excellent -- I should be able to make this one, though last week of July might be better. My last Studfest for quite a while probably, so I'll try to bring some Cool Stuff (tm) (Hitchikers-medieval cross could be nice). --DaveL (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
