I remember being excited whenever my teacher would break out the Apple IIs, because it meant that we got a break from listening to history lectures and got to play a computer game. *This, plus a game where you delivered pizza to like aliens using pulleys and stuff.

Sacramento The majority vote on year seemed pretty clear that the whole intent of leaving in 1850 was to be a late-comer to the gold rush, so this seems pretty obvious. Independence, MO According to Wikipedia, this city is nicknamed the "Queen of the Trails" because all the major trails went through here. Sounds good. Large Wagon No real reason, so just picking the middle ground. Gunsmith The namesake of our brave leader, Commander Keene, carries a raygun at all times. Seems appropriate. Also, from a meta-gaming perspective, this gives a nice starting pile of money; let's not jump too far into the deep end in game 1. Adventurer Making dumb decisions, getting fired halfway and then spending months criticizing our successor for his decisions? That's the most American way to handle things!

A ‘little’ tricky? Three feet isn’t deep. Ford that poo poo.

My vague (probably wrong) understanding of California geography is that Truckee is near the Sierra Nevada mountains. Gold ahoy!!!

We just went through a desert, therefore a place named after a water feature makes sense. Cold Stream.

I note a disappointing lack of grandfather clocks in the inventory. Also more bullets.

I’m stunned we did so well. Not only did nobody die, IIRC we only had one decision even go wrong - the failure to ford the river...and even that didn’t really hurt us. Start this poo poo anew and let’s fail in style. I’d like to be one of the future (past?) party members if there’s space.

If there’s anything I know about the 1840’s (there isn’t), it’s that they solved all problems by getting shitfaced. Use that alcohol.

Have we actually traveled ANY distance since the sprained shoulder? Or are we still sitting in the same spot? Slow down. Let’s make some progress at least. Also, we can’t keep using alcohol because our brave leader is almost certainly ready to start chugging it 24/7 while waiting for the next crisis.

The hill “doesn’t look very steep”. Just continue down normally, no need to get fancy.

I would love to know how the hell you lose shoes and socks when a wagon topples over on a hill. Can’t you just like...pick them up off the ground? Make him comfortable. The plus side of being the first dude who dies on an ill-fated expedition is that you at least get to die in relative comfort, unlike the last couple guys when everything is hosed beyond repair.

Double-teaming hasn't failed us yet!JustJeff88 posted:I missed something on this run... you started the game with gently caress-all moneys because you're a teacher and, as I can attest, they earn shite wages. You spent most of it at the start of the game as per usual, but you've stopped at a few shops along the way and you had a bunch of money again... what did I miss? Seriously not taking the piss; I'm genuinely confused. I thought that the point of the low-money professions was to spend all of the player's money at the start of the game and then have to get by with tuppence in the pocket and eating sand for nourishment.  .I didn't see anything listed in the intermediate updates explaining where the extra ~500 bucks came from.
