Memories of Santas & Shotguns
A Wicked Fun Time at Hotspur O'Toole's 3rd Rez Day party!! Many thanks to DJ Freq! for the fantastical playlist and to the Boys in the Backroom (Murakami and Huszar) for the Reindeer skeet shooting game. And thanks to everyone who join us for the silliness - you made the party what it was. :-D
We had a wonderful time dancing, battling, and having all kinds of silly fun while Frequency played an ecclectic and excellent list of music!
Our often shy trio of shipbuilders, MrBunwah, Justinian, and Nowwer (who is usually the silent partner) even seemed to have a great time showcasing their toy ironclads, blowing things up, and (gasp!) even dancing. :)
Many more years of success to you, young gents!!
We are ushering in the 3rd year of Murakami Steamworks! Hard to believe that the Boys in the Backroom, as they are affectionately known by the Wrath Fleet, have been hard at work bringing more ironclad fun than you can shake a duchess stick at for two years.
TWO YEARS!
Congratulations, Justinian Huszar and MrBunwah Murakami!
Frequency Picnic is going to be spinning the tunes.
We have dances, an open bar, their RC Ironclad game (which totally rocks!), an alligator, explode-y things, and much more.
Here is the Isle of Skye skyplat slurl.
Come as you like! We just want to be silly, have fun, and celebrate the work of J and MrB as Murakami Steamworks continues to grow and succeed.

Subject: Murakami Steamworks ship improvements
Objective: Observation and evaluation of Ironclad handling tests; perimeter management
Received directive via secure channel on 3 February and immediately set out from the Loch in one of our latest observation platforms, apparently a simple steam powered skiff. Dispatched several operatives to control perimeter around the test site.
Having made my way to the testing location near Winterfell and Cape Wrath, I hovered quietly above the scene to observe the ironclad testing that was taking place below me.
Per your report, the engineers of Murakami Steamworks, were in the sea working on the new guidance and handling systems. I was able to pick up some of their conversation from this distance as well as monitor the tests.
There was discussion of not only a new handling system, but also of a new weapons/warfare system. This was not in your original communication to me. But listening to the conversation, it sounds as though, the improvements are substantial.
radio signal intercepted: "I find the movements smoother and more ship-like. The combat system is definitely much improved... the gunnery model seems to be .....(static)...naval gunnery and ramming....."
