Re: The ULMF Trail
Alright. So when we last left off...
Alright. So when we last left off...
We took a four day break to let the pansies rest. Surprisingly, both of them recovered in those four days, without a day missed. What I mean by that is that they actually recovered on the third and fourth days, which means we didn't waste any days at all.
We later placed our caulk in the water and sailed on the Green River. Even more surprisingly this game let us live. I think this game is finally starting to let up on us.
Unbelievably, we hit a record high of number of bad things happening. The only thing bad that happened was that we ran out of grass for just one day.
Of course, this game can never be without some kind of problem. But it's more of a problem for me than for you guys. Namely, the MOTHERFUCKING BULL I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH.
Heh, get it? Anyway, that 465 pound cocktease stood there for, and I counted, three minutes and forty-two seconds. I had my crosshair on his ass the entire time, and not once did he even more. Not another bull was even coming out too! Eventually I nearly gave up when he started moving.
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
Yes, he actually exited the screen and I had basically wasted about four minutes waiting for a bull to move a couple pixels more so I could shoot it.
Now, I was about to unleash hell on the rest of the wildlife with a hailstorm of bullets when suddenly this other bull just zips along and stops at the VERY MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.
What a relief! So I ended up bagging another 200 pounds of food at the cost of my waning patience.
(Yes, that was pretty much pointless, but this is a very short update. I need something to talk about)
Now the game, seeing that I was getting a break, decided to fuck with me a little.
In this picture, you can see the settlement, but you can't see us. Why? BECAUSE 11 MILES FROM THE DAMN PLACE, WE ACTUALLY LOST THE TRAIL FOR TWO DAYS.
There's not excuse for this kind of shitty navigating!
Oh, and we lost 20 pounds of food to more bad refridgeration. Who cares.
Soda Springs....
Soda Springs is an important landmark and stopping-off point along the trail. It gets its name from the alkaline (sodium) mineral springs you find there. Some travels seperate from the Oregon Trail at this point and head southwest to California. Other wait until they get to Fort Hall before going on the "California Trail".
Gee, I wonder if that's foreshadowing our next destination.
You know the drill by now:
Trade?
But before I go...
My demonic caulk. (Fuck you. I'm not wasting my time making it look any prettier than that)

Re: The ULMF Trail
You've got enough bullets, since pretty much you just need one shot to get us the food we need each time (or so it seems) If the food consumed/lost vs. time spent hunting ration stays pretty low, yeah, up the hunting. If not, drop the meals and keep the strenuous pace.

Re: The ULMF Trail
Jeez.. I need to update more often.
SO!
Time to move on to the next settlement which is... Right there? Fuck it, I'm not complaining. But this does mean I'm going to skip over that settlement and go to the next one.
We stopped about halfway to the fort to hunt, when suddenly an animal I have NEVER seen before shows up. A grizzly bear? Seriously? You can't take down a freakin' grizzly bear with one shot! Unless you had a magnum or something, which I doubt they had. They don't even give you enough food. Only 90-100 pounds, whereas a buffalo easily nabs you 300-400 pounds.
After just two days on uneventful travel, we got to Fort Hall.
For Hall is an outpost on the banks of the Snake River. It was originally a fur-trading post, founded by Nataniel Wyeth in 1834. Later it was bought by the Hudson's Bay Company. Ever since it has served as an important stop along the Oregon Trail, where emigrants can rest and buy supplies. Some travelers turn southwest at this point and head for California.
I think the developers were running out of things to write about, because this is the third time they've talking about going to California.
Seeing as how we really didn't need anything, I decided to move us to the next settlement which is about...
Oh wow. Couldn't they have moved the fort a little more in the middle of the two settlements?
And somehow after taking two steps away from the fort, our navigator got cholera. Five bucks says we'll no longer loose the trail or run into fog.
Along the way, we ran into the usual ox having no grass to eat, mexican water, and an ox getting sick. Oh and we found some wild fruit twice.
Other than that, nothing interesting happened. We're pretty close to the end. Let's hope we don't fuck up.
After leaving Fort Hall, the trail follows the Snake River for hundreds of miles. The Snake River gets its name from the way it twists and turns through this rugged country, sometimes through steep gorges. But the trail is fairly flat (though dry and desolate) near the river, which makes wagon travel possible. Crossing the Snake River, however, can be very dangerous.
... That is sooooo interesting.
Decision time!
Trading?
Revert to save to go to the Fort to buy junk?
How to cross?
Let Redshirt rest?
We're getting pretty close to the end guys. Who wants to make this interesting and make a dash for it?

Re: The ULMF Trail
Seconded. And since the health is poor (you'd *think* a doctor would know better) may want to bump the meals up again so they don't all get disentery and die on us.

Damn straight. Is it this version or some other version?
Also I need a tie breaker vote. I still need... Toxic and Mo again to vote.
