I found my character and put him together for when we are able to post them.

If anyone is interested, there are a couple of websites where you can find procedurally generated people.

https://generated.photos
Is the one where I found Magda's image. It's mostly portrait style photos, if you find someone that's close to what you're looking for click on it and keep selecting photos from that sub page and you can generally narrow things down pretty easily.

https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
Completely random, no filters so you can't say I want an elderly Asian man with grey hair.

Look carefully at the images, thispersondoesnotexist sometimes creates some really WEIRD artifacts on the screen that make it look like there's a disconnect hand or something else in the picture.

Yay! I made it onto the forum.

Do you guys need anything specific searched for in the old posts? I'm pretty sure I've retained most of them since 2007 or so.

If you find Lily’s mustering benefits, I won’t complain.

I didn't find anything about that in the old posts, but that might be because I rejoined the list a little bit after you did. I'm checking my other archives now, since I remember doing several dumps of the data from the Mailman post histories from various game lists in the past. I'll let you know if I find anything useful in there.

Found it, in a file from 2014!
The spreadsheet is attached.

I also found a .rar file of the actual Mailman post archive from the mypbem.com server, that appears to have been created sometime in late 2014. Since a website copying utility was used for the original extraction, it's poorly organized, but I can either post the monthly post archives in here, or copy them into a single-directory rar file if you want.

The searches are all still running, so it's entirely possible that I'll be able to extract even more of the old data. I'll keep everyone posted on this.

Thanks Bob!

I was thinking, with us reforming after such a break perhaps a post that begins with the words “Two Weeks Later.” And Eris could fill in a small gap for us while setting something up.

Happy Easter everyone! Turkey dinner for me tonight.

Happy Easter everybody! I hope everyone had a nice time.

It will be something like that. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. I'm working up to it.

ps. Matt seems to be back in one game. Let me see if I can cajole him back into this one.

Same here and turkey for me, too. We'll be eating on it for several days. Turkey Sunday, turkey and noodles Monday, turkey sandwiches Tuesday, and then remains get turned into soup for Thursday and frozen for later.

I never did find Magda, I still have her firmly in my brain but I can’t find a character sheet beyond what I posted.

I have something for Magda, I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.

Any luck?

Been playing a game called Outriders on the PS4. It
/ fun but the story has this neat hook.

Earth is dying, two starships are built, one blows up only one escapes. They arrive at world, madness ensues. Find out later, they built a third ship in the time between us departing and us arriving and it gets to new world before we so and screws everything up.

Folks, my Mom died yesterday.

I'm going to put the game on pause until the first of August so I can deal with the things I need to deal with. Hopefully, I'll have the time and the mind to pick things up then. Take care and don't despair!
