Subject: [GZG] [ECC] [FMASheep]

I need to honor about half a dozen GZGers by having their names not be in any
way associated with FMA Sheep. They will be joining JohnA (who is unrelated to
Capt John Matkinson, a Fighting Man of Mars), and Phil Pournelle (who bears no
resemblance to Lt. Purcell, navigator and executive office of MV Nostradamus).
Tom Barclay and I are not eligible for legal, ethical, moral, social,
political, pychological and legal reasons, but anyone else is fair game. your
suggestions?

I think it would be better to ask forgiveness after the fact.

Feel free to use mine:)

I must say I find the idea of a lamb Burger a little too tempting to pass up
though...

I would probably have to be court-martialed and shot if I were part of
the unit.

For some reason, I've really just never quite understood what the humor value
of all the sheep jokes is. I just don't get it.

Once again, I will be unable to not play in this esteemed not-game.
This time because of a scenario I plan to run in the same time slot. Thus I
request, nay, demand representation on the table by proxy.

Actually, sounds like he's asking for a bit of both; I think he wants ideas as
well as list names.

Fortunately, I'm not in danger of being honored, but if I were, I've rather
favored the idea of a brick named John 'The Beast' Blackwater, four times all
New South Wales barenuckled champion.

Still a ram of a man, neither fleet of foot or brain, the previous career
having taken it's toll, he'd still make a proper companion, with appropriate
mechanisms to make his thinking wooly. Oh, and a face that makes one think of
meat tenderizer.

Noam was the one person I expected to get the drift and have a fully, formed
character described.

OA, strangely enough, I'm picturing you as some kind of mad
scientist/inventor/weapon-master, but can't fill in the details...

This session will have a large element of Paranoia. It might be tough to get
the other troubleshooters to pause for a courtmartial, but the "shot" part is
pretty much guaranteed.

Well, this is Sheep, so the word that comes to mind is actually
"victims"...The cast presently includes:

Captain John Matkinson, Fighting Man of Mars (played by Adrian Johnson) Lt
Purcell, XO and Astrogator of MV Nostradamus (Tony Finan) Noah Eisenberg, Mad
Scientist (Jon Mark Davis) "Mad Doc" Maddox, Mad Scientist (Mike Hudak) Sarah
Bellum, Perky Reporter (Greg Davis) Evan "Great Scot!" MacDouglas, Great White

Failure to provide proper documentation on request is a violation of company
policy. Removing corporate documents from a designated secure environment is
also a violation of company policy. Violating corporate policy is grounds for
immediate termination....

How about Ari Ander? Must be played with an unidentifiable accent: think
Martin Short from Father of the Bride, only tight lipped, quiet but deadly.

Noam, on the other hand, should be a gleeful mad bomber. I just can't get the
image of his face over the cotton ball explosions...

As for the hidden name, he's GOT to have something appropriate in all those
anagrams he drops!

Well one either has to have been raised on a farm or in the military.

Well, I'm out of suitable male figs for the Mad Scientists. But Angie Anders
could either be the brunette in the lavender dress, or the blonde in the blue
dress and yellow

Leave it Ari, short for Ariel. Now THERE'S a mysterious name!

While a guess, I'm assuming a blonde, though a brunette in lavender...

Blond. Definitely long, blond hair ;-) Though for various reasons she
ought to be Jonna Anders, rather than Angie... <g>
