Here is the telegram sent by Mariah during the last game (shortly after being kicked out of the house). Sorry to take so long!
She was fairly intoxicated at the time, and thus prone to random capitalization among other things. (I did not write STOPS because they were annoying). I believe Cathleen and Natsuko were with her, so if there is anything they wish to add or edit they could. It was sent out (without paying) to all receivers. Gremlins enjoy...

To the World:
I am writing to inform you of two Holy women who have died in the town of THERMOPOLIS.
The first is Miss Charity Rose, an individual truly Blessed by God who fought long and hard to rid the world of evil though it cost her own life. On October the 31st – All Hallows Eve – Miss Charity Rose ventured into a House which I can only describe as being Possessed by the Devil himself. With my very own eyes I saw walls move, grown men Vanish and further Terrors that I will not relate to you here. On that Night, Miss Charity Rose sacrificed herself to Exorcise that Hellish house and save the entire town. After a most Fearsome battle, the House collapsed upon itself and in a matter of hours a rose garden the likes of which I have never seen grew in its place. Where a Horror once stood, there is now Goodness and Peace, where mothers can allow their little children to play.
The second is Miss Kitty Kaboodle, a Kind and gentle Lady who was Murdered in a Most Hideous manner after saving myself from Death – or Worse. In addition to her good deeds in life, after her soul departed from her body her flesh did not in any way deteriorate. I witness this fact as Proof of her Sainthood, for God often causes the earthly bodies of his Saints to remain untouched by Rot and Decay due to their Blessed nature.
If these events are not Miracles I do not know what is. I thus conclude that both of these women are Saints chosen by God to bring Light to the Earth both while they walked upon it and through Holy Inspiration after they were reclaimed by Him for His Kingdom.
Sincerely,
Mariah Sackett

Tom 09/08/2010 21:14 hope is also quite comfortable in greenfield these days, in a largely gamer (and thus deadlands) safe place.
Mio 09/08/2010 15:49 I wish the forum were like Facebook. I want to "Like" everything. I would never have to have a genuine thought again.
Jorge Mantoya 09/08/2010 13:33 Hope dangles on a string, like slow-spinning redemption. Winding in and winding out, the shine of it has caught my eye...
Bish 09/08/2010 13:26 No distance is ever safe enough. The only distance that is remotely safe is six feet, and THAT if only chased by two bullets.
The Gentleman Masher 09/08/2010 13:21 I think so. That may almost be a safe enough distance.
Gidim 09/08/2010 12:11 Doesn't she live in Rochester now?
GM Doppelganger 09/07/2010 23:04 Per player request, Hope will be present at the start of Manhattan, how long Hope survives is up to you.
The Gentleman Masher 09/07/2010 17:48 I love tumblebleeds. They're some of the nicest of the things Deadlands can throw at you.
GM Doppelganger 09/07/2010 14:40 If the existence of tumblebleeds in the new town is enough to shatter your hope it wasn't going to last long anyway
Tom 09/07/2010 11:24 ..and it's over. So that's what hope felt like, I always wondered.
