jolly good, some exploration is getting done well done chaps

I do believe some of the boys have gone native. Only to be expected in the tropics. Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that.

Sir Nige is soooooooo mine :)

Let us erect a warning.

It is funny how some people really want to keep a heavy hand on their site. No funny biness allowd. I want to say, thanks for the warning but we are pretty much game for whatever.

Good heavens! Who could this WhiteKnight be? An emissary from a rival group of researchers, perhaps?

Surely he had no need to be insulting. We may not ALL be the handsomest fellows, but I wouldn't describe any of us as "trolls". :(

We certainly appreciate your willingness to tolerate our little band of travellers under the shelter of your huts for a few days, and hope you'll have a bite to eat and a drop of brandy with us while we're by.

Journal Entry, Chaos 31, YOLD 3175:

Early Morning. I have partially deciphered the runes upon the boundary marker and have used the directions provided to find my way to the local settlements. Upon arriving I have found a small group of our party has made it into this new territory. Basecamp has been established with only one tea related incident. This surely seems a good sign. I have noted which of my fellow explorers have survived the stinking humid trek through the jungle here in my notebook, and will send a report back to the Academy soon.

Lunch. While sipping brandy with Sir Nigel, one of the natives has approached our camp waving a torn piece of journal paper. It seems someone had approached him near their latrine grounds (and remained anonymous by hiding within the trenches). This nefarious character handed our native friend my list of Safari members... torn from my VERY JOURNAL, and began spouting filthy lies about our people. Horrible accusations of theft, rape and pillaging.

Our native host has told us that he doesn't believe these horrible slanders, as they fly in the face of our behavior while we have been guests here. He seems concerned about what this theft might mean to the relations between our groups. Sir Nigel seems to have calmed the poor fellow's nerves and thanked him for revealing this theft. This development will require quite the deliberation from the Safari. I shall break out the whiskey. [End Journal Entry]
--------------------------------------------

Sir Nigel! [Offeres up a small cup of whiskey.] This recent theft has me suspecting the porters we hired on at the last town.... Or could someone be shadowing the Safari? Could this possibly be one of the Pterodactyls agents? Could they really have caught up to us while most of our party remains scattered in the jungle? How shall we approach this new threat?

there are no safaris without dangers old chap, i dare say that given this agents predilection for hiding in the latrines we may be able to track him by scent alone..

Half the time I don't even know what's going on with this sarari thing, and I'm finding it very amusing! :)

Yeh - I, for one, am confident that between the moderators and dwellers here that together we can handle whatever may happen, if anything. They have been well behaved guests so far. Again welcome weary travelers and please rest as long as you need/like.

three quarters of the time we safari members don't know what is going on so you are doing rather well, no two safaris are alike and different challenges are faced at every turn, all par for the course in the life of a intrepid explorer of the Internet wilds. wot wot

Sir John, how long may we expect your stopover to last? Where are you headed next?

Stay for a while. We haz beerz.

We got 'em from chrisinhouston's fridge.

camp will be struck in a day or two, we haven't received word from the royal academy yet as to our next destination, the unfortunate cause of many lost explorers that and the unreliable use of porters to communicate, we will try to send a map back to the cellar so that any of you fine gentlemen who wish to can join the safari in our next base camp.

We are amused, We will be addressed as Lord Fargon from now on!
