 		Since we never got our 8th man Saturday, this may be a bit insane.

 		I think Frank Grouard was our 8th man. There don't have to be 8 new cards, just 8 people playing.

 		since some in chat haven't received this yet:

Quote:
From: Lucy Brown
Sent: November 16
To: Janet Brown
Subject: Mom, URGENT

Mom,

Yeah, me again.
This again.
Sorry.
When I was a kid, you once said you hated games where someone had to lose. I thought that was dumb. I thought winning was the whole point. When I asked you, you said it wasn't about winning, it was about who you wanted to be.
I think I get it now.
You *could* enjoy the kill. You just didn't *want* to.

So I get it. A day late and a dollar short, I get it.

Right now I need you to do something for me, mom. I need you to keep you and dad safe.
I'd better explain.
Uncle Lucky left me an old antique gun. The 'Lucky' gun-do you remember? The Gun came with a lot of baggage. I've put everything I know in an envelope and mailed it to your office but it won't get there until tomorrow at the earliest. In the meantime, I'm going to try to make this good. But.
There is a cop, a US Marshall, who wants Lucky's old gun enough to kill for it. He killed Robert. He's killed others.
It gets worse. I think he might go after you and dad.
Mom, I'm writing you because we both know dad would want to Go To The Police and Do The Right Thing, but by the time the right thing got done, you could be dead.

I'm not drunk, stoned, or joking. Get out of town.

I'll call as soon as I can.

I love you mom. I'm so sorry. I wanted to be a better daughter.

Lucy

 		Pierre was online in Suicide King

Quote:
[14:58] <Shadow> The summary: ahecht said Sullivan had the Navy Colt. That's about all we needed to get across, I think.


Ben was online in Straddlers

Quote:
[14:46] <MelonCandy> It was really short with Ben. He said that Lucky was getting very busy, but he didn't know with what, and he felt like he wasn't going to be around much longer. He asked about matt, and was reassurred when we told him about Simon helping him, and that's when GSH got his card. We told him that Matt was going home, and he said thanks and left.

[14:46] <MelonCandy> And that's about it.

 		New stuff about the Curse:

#lastcall wrote:
[14:50] <celina63> well, there's the Curse

[14:50] <celina63> the Oath becomes the Curse

[14:50] <Cortana> breaking the oath, celina. good call

[14:53] <celina63> ok, so... the Oath becomes the Curse... which means to break the Curse, the "treasury" must be returned

[14:53] <celina63> but there's been no mention of the treasury, outside of the Gun

[14:53] <Avatrix> but, can they go to galveston to return it, or split it up among the decendants?

[14:54] <Nos> The diamonds, maybe, can be subsituted?

 		Sullivan was online in Gallows 5

Quote:
[15:15] <Shadow> Sullivan said he was in Galveston only briefly, because he had word a friend might be around.

[15:16] <celina63> I don't see how Smith could have the gun

[15:16] <Shadow> AmberJoy said "John C.H. Smith?" -- since we already SPECulated that Sullivan killed Smith over the treasure -- and that unlocked the Sullivan card showing it.

[15:16] <akira187> took it off the gouard brothers

[15:16] <celina63> Sullivan said right before he killed Smith, that he never even had to use the Gun

[15:16] <celina63> (i.e. the diamonds in it)

[15:16] <Ariock> actually, I believe she asked him about the colt

[15:16] <Shadow> celina: Smith never had the Gun.

[15:16] <AmberJoy> Ariock: I asked about both at the same time.

[15:17] <celina63> I thought akira187 just said that SULLIVAN said Smith had the gun in the poker room

[15:17] <AxysDenyed> Heh, I asked about the gun too, and he said that was private and I didn't want to ask about it

[15:17] <miss_caro> Celina - you're talking about this right? "I invested my share wisely, and now I’m well off indeed. I never even needed to use the Gun"

[15:17] <celina63> I asked about the Treasury and he wouldn't talk about it
