Hello, Survivors!
Thanks to the efforts of Ray (who writes for Alonzo Blazevic), we have a new and improved manifest that better fits the needs of our particular sim.
We're organized by families and those who are single are listed under 'The Unattached'. If your situation changes and you become part of someone's family, then we'll switch you around.
Suffixes:
========
Military designations are no longer going to be shown on the manifest and you'll see that they've been removed for you -- we're doing that for two reasons. One, it's no longer a part of our reality and two,…

Congratulations, Survivors!
We started our first episode, Bangor or Bust, Saturday, 15 April 2023. Tomorrow, nearly a year later, we will finally finish it. For those who like stats, we have, as a group, written 332 posts for this episode, 34 of them in the past month. And now, nearly a year later, its time to move on. There will be a short post tomorrow explaining what happens to the safe zone and after that, Bangor or Bust will be closed for posting and we'll be moving into the new episode (I'm thinking about "Winter is Coming" as a title).…

Hello, Survivors,
Been having a couple days of good weather here, sort of like the first promise of Spring, and its been lovely. Also, Watson, my cat, discovered Cat TV (its a YouTube channel) and he loves it. For a cat who absolutely refuses to go anywhere near the outside world, he's been mighty brave swatting at those birds.
Sim Statistics
No changes in the number of writers this month so we're still holding at eight. We are losing a couple of NPCs though -- Courtney, Jordan, Father Dominic I believe. Not sure about Bao (been quiet since the delivery)…

Hello, Survivors,
Okay, its been an embarrassingly long time since I've done this so, let me start by offering my profound apologies. Had a bit of a Star Trek sim burnout going on and a lot of things fell by the wayside. Things are better now and I'm totally back.
Sim Statistics
We added two survivors, Stephen Wolff and Reuben Baptiste. That brought us up to nine writers. Course, Stephen dropped out again so we have added one new writer -- which means two service dogs and three military personnel. The world has never seemed safer, eh?
You know, we…

Mission: Safe Harbor
Posted on Sat Jun 21st, 2025 @ 7:38am by New York Survivor John ("Dodger") Smith
It was night at Safe Harbor, all was quiet, peaceful but for one he was restless. Dodger got up silently and dressed as to not wake the others. It was a full moon, and the moon cast its pale light upon the path to the dock as he went to his site of refuge with baseball bat in one hand, cooler in the other, he headed to Briar's fishing boat. he liked the little boat. It was small to be sure, but he liked the smallness, it made him feel secure. He checked the rods and the crab pots; He…

Amy had just finished cutting the tall grass near the barn and stacking it in the feed trough for the three new animals when Austin ran towards her. "Amy! Incoming boat! Not the fishing boat!"
"Get everyone into the basement area and lock the door. Do not open it unless its me or the others!" Amy ordered and grabbed her machete and raced for the hill over the dock.
Austin didn't get a chance to say more but he did head off and gathered the other children and got them into the house.
Amy half slipped, half tumbled down the…

Posted on Thu Jun 19th, 2025 @ 12:13am by Survivor Kelly Cardona & Council Member Timothy Cotton
TJ was with Kelly as they loaded up the few personal things they had in their SUV. it still took several trips, but they eventually got it done. When it was finished and before they went to help the others, TJ took her aside and kissed her softly, tenderly. "Just wanted to tell you again now, I love you and we will get through this."
Kelly smiled and nodded as she held onto TJ. “I know TJ, I love you too. This is how it’s going to be from now on, I’ve gotten used to it, things can only get…

Mission: Escape from the Concrete Grave
Posted on Fri Jun 13th, 2025 @ 9:04pm by New York Survivor Steffan Wolff
Steffan coughed slightly as he regained consciousness. His head hurt as his vision was blurry. It took him a few seconds to remember what had happened and where he was. ’Of course. He thought to himself as the helicopter crash came flooding back to him. Probably the scariest thing he’d ever witnessed and survived, it seemed.
He blinked a couple of times to help clear his vision a bit more and survey his surroundings. He was still strapped into his seat but his arms and legs were dangling as the helicopter seemed to be on its side. He tried to…

Posted on Tue Jun 3rd, 2025 @ 9:22pm by New York Survivor Briar Maddox & New York Survivor John ("Dodger") Smith & New York Survivor George Brooks
After they had dragged the bodies to the sea, Briar looked up the beach and there, sitting on the beach, pulled up by the now deceased, was a obviously military refitted commercial fishing vessel, the name had been scratched out and painted over. It read "LUCKY BREAK".
Briar took a breath and looked around. No one else. The pair had been alone. "Look at all that space" she said softly. "Way more than our little fishing boat."
Dodger stopped alongside her and let out a low whistle. "That thing is huge. I wonder if it's loaded with supplies as well."…

Posted on Mon Jun 23rd, 2025 @ 8:33am by New York Survivor Amythyst
Evening
I’m writing this by flashlight, tucked up in the attic room of the farmhouse, where the roof creaks when the wind shifts. The others are asleep — or pretending to be. I think Patrick is still whispering with Andrew, but I don’t have the energy to check. My back hurts, my knees are sore, and I smell like cow. Which, weirdly, isn’t the worst thing anymore. I will grab a shower soon.
We found cattle today. Actual, real, living cows. In the woods.
Three of them — two big and one calf, all half-wild but not dangerous. They were…

**Journal Entry – September 30th, 2010**
*Location: Homestead Kitchen, Late Evening*
*Writer: Serena Reynolds, M.D.*

The sun has set, and the quiet is settling into the walls — or as quiet as it ever gets with this many people under one roof. The fire in the hearth is down to glowing coals. Dinner’s been cleaned up. Most of us are asleep, and the rest are pretending to be. I should be too. But sleep feels like a fragile thing lately. Like if I let myself slip too deep, I might miss something vital.
We had our first full…

Definitely official, even if Sandwich will not admit it. He has an attachment for Thea. At the evening meal and campfire meeting I caught him dividing his plate in half and giving Thea the the half he separated. He then ate half of his portion and feed Kenny the other half. I plan to say something to him, I'll offer to feed Kenny half my food share if he insist on giving Thea half of his food share. I am amazed how he treats Thea, almost like our mother, or us girls. He also seems…

Reuben talked with Catalina when she had joined with him in helping the group. During the stops for the evening on the way to Hale's property Catalina filled him in on how the ranch and family were doing. Apparently their father was quick to realize the situation and started the process of fortifying the ranch, He had the hands bring the cattle in closer for the rest of the year and would decide in mid spring what to do about how to safely graze them. He and the hands also began working on the barb wire around the ranch.

Well found Sandwich, he deviated from his emergency escape route and hookup with a group of survivors. Not sure about the group but they appear to be decent folks. The leader, Hale Stratton, is very similar to Sandwich; dark, brooding and all military. I suspect there is more under the man other than being a Major in the Rangers. I cannot quite sure what it is yet; but never mind that. Sandwich has decided to continue travelling with the group, so I am tagging along as well. He states he will decide what to do…
