Thanks to many hiccups, we are still in the vicinity of turn 30, or halfway through. It is of course wonderful to have 5 of 9 folks keeping up to date. YS1 was down to 2 by what, turn 15 or so?

I note that through intention or coincidence, a most of us had at least somewhat momentous happenings in turn 30: Ashembe's death, what looks like Aftial's rebellion and Ghost's finale, the opening of the Ether Gate, and poor Galameteia's final appearance.

To close out this ramble, I'll just say that I counted words, and collectively we've put out about 75,000 words of fiction so far. If we add even another 50,000 in the next 30 turns, that'll make an average-sized novel.

So here's to another 30 turns, and may each yarn come to the close it deserves.
