PLANNING AN ATTACK (Continued)

The DP loop leader has hired a Merc and set up timing with the Cousins.
Now it's back to the DP loop to set up the details of the attack.

Operation "Clown Bust" is set.  We'll be hitting the Cousin HQ on Monday
afternoon.  I've hired a Merc for a diversion to get rid of the
Cousins--they're going to see a free movie.  I've got the following people
set for the attack:

DKBLONDE 
DPNOW 
LILCOP
HAIR2DAY 
VLIZZIE  

Is everybody still interested?  Who gets to write it?  DPNOW?

Count me out.  I'm going to be busy Monday afternoon.  But have fun.

Okay--VLIZZIE is out, so drop her from the CC so we don't spam her mailbox.

Can LaCroix come by and catch us?  And then we'd have to talk our way out
of it?

Didn't ask for use of LaCroix and it's pretty late, he may be busy
elsewhere.  Can we avoid getting him into this and just keep this to
ourselves?

We don't need a car, cause they're right near the subway station.  Since we
don't have a lot to carry, what about training?

Okay, I guess I can write it.  Train sounds fine.  Maybe the cousins can
pass the station on the way so we know they're not there?

Who wants to be lookout?  And I need a brief physical description of
everyone.  Anyone have a background in makeup or clowns?

YOU are going to write the post attacking the cousins.  You've asked
everyone for a physical description and some general information to know
who would do what where.  You write the post and then post it back to the
DPLoop for comment and/corrections.

Looks good to me.

The Merc has her post ready to go, so as soon as we're ready, she can post
and we can get this thing started.

Post looks good, except my hair is red, not auburn.  Can you change that?
Bright, flaming red.  Today, anyway.

I wouldn't say, "I think it looks cute."  *Barf*

Can I be worried about LaCroix showing up?

Shouldn't we be worried about getting out of there?  Then again, it's a 3
hour movie.  How long will it take us to put on clown makeup?

Okay, got your comments HAIR and LIL.  Here's the changes.  Okay?  If so,
we can tell the Merc to post.  Um, has anybody LOOKED at the Merc's post?

>Um, has anybody LOOKED at the Merc's post?>

I did.  It's okay--I'm the only one at the meeting and I'm not mentioned by
name.  The Cousins have okayed it.  I'll tell MERCASH to post.

YOU have written the post, posted it to the DP loop for comment, and made
corrections.  The post that goes before your post can now be posted if it's
appropriate within game time (i.e., other people are posting things that
occur Sunday night through Monday afternoon).  Let's check in on the
Cousin's loop to find out what's been happening while this has been going
on . . . .

* What if someone really had a problem with the post?  They have a right to
pull out of the post if you can't come to terms.  Happily, that doesn't
happen too often.  Don't let it get personal and don't sweat the small stuff.

* What if nobody had checked the Merc's post?  No big deal.  Maybe the loop
leader should have mentioned it earlier and it slipped her mind.  Maybe she
figured that since none of the other DPs were mentioned in the post, it
wouldn't be important.
