Day Three:
Day three found us in the City of Bridges, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where we already had players waiting to challenge us at our very game. While it was a true delight to mingle with the Pittsburgh Player’s once again (and play the bloodiest game of Allegiance I have ever played), the highlight would be spending the evening at Game Master’s. Phil, the store owner, announced to his players that they were going demo Allegiance or he’d “get out the guns.” As it turned out, no guns were necessary. Needless to say, Allegiance is now a part of the Game Master’s schedule. We give you, on this day, a rather profound description made of Allegiance by the eloquent store owner, Phil in reference to Allegiance’s game mechanics: “I’m going to F**K you out in the open.” Thank you, Phil, for summing up the Allegiance mentality.
After Phil closed up shop at 11:30pm, the Pittsburgh Players had not yet had enough of us, so we moved our party to Denny’s, where we stayed until 2:30am. The dinner party consisted of Elyndil, JackalopeJay, and Yelmstar, as well as J.T. and myself. Once we’d finished eating and the members of the illustrious Pittsburgh Players had all but filtered away, J.T. and I set off in search of a hotel and much needed rest.
4:30am – We finally find a hotel that does not cost at least half the national debt for a seven hour stay. Unfortunately, a hotel of this price range could only be found an hour and a half outside of Pittsburgh. Apparently, hotels of a reasonable rate don’t think it necessary to cater to lone travelers at night. Please, people, for the love of all that is holy! GET A NIGHT CLERK!!!
