The Ledger · Summer 1999

Home  |  The Order  |  How We Play  |  The Ledger

Every order game since the first of June, the good and the other kind. All four on four unless it says so. R is ranked, U is unranked. Lantern keeps the real book in a spiral notebook by his computer; this is me typing it up. Spring's games are in the notebook too, but nobody wants to see April.


DATE GAME, OPPONENT, RESULT
JUNE
Tue. 6/1
R
Body Count vs. Iron Psalm. LOST. They had a dwarf who could thread a needle. We were the needle.
Thu. 6/3

Tue. 6/8
R
Territories vs. Barrow Kings. WON. Four flags to two at the end.
Thu. 6/10
R
King of the Hill vs. Seventh Pyre. LOST. Everybody sat on the flag. See the primer, rule 1.
Tue. 6/15
R
Capture the Flag vs. Gray Company. WON. Rook's first order game. He went out hunting, which was his job, and kept going, which wasn't.

R
Body Count vs. Saltmarsh. LOST. Close. Marrow got four of theirs with one throw and two of ours with the next.
Thu. 6/24

Body Count vs. Seventh Pyre. LOST. Our last ranked loss. Nobody knew that at the time.
