I'm thinking that Capstan Blue is dead already. It took about -7 worth of hits when its last total was 4.

Very true. I can confirm later but if anybody wants to tally, I won’t mind

I've been keeping a tally for my own info. I wouldn't presume to horn in on this fun Game that you've created and managed. Just being a referee I guess.

As of post #289 my estimate is that Capstan suffered -9 +2 since you last posted the tally.

@filmguerilla and @Mr_houston get to re-cast a +2 or -3 since Capstan was already dead

@spearheadbill and @Sobrbiker and @64alex get to re-cast normal votes for the same reason.

Today's update brings a true tragedy to light. We've lost Capstan Blue, a go-to favorite for anybody with sensible, well distinguished taste. Capstan Blue is the Betty White of this game. Classic, universally appreciated, the sight of whom is likely to put a smile on your face. While ol' Betty passed away in her sleep of natural causes, however, Capstan Blue was assaulted, brutalized, slain, then beaten after death by a group of hooligans who should be ashamed of themselves. Just sayin'.

Also... this special vote spelled doom for Rule Brittania. Out of nowhere, it's down to a single hit point.

 

[Sobrbiker]

I’ll cast my wasted Capstan -1 as a -1 for Rule Brittania
