CLEAN GROUND: booked — Contingency 2027, Sunday 31 January, afternoon

Slot 9. Recorded in STATUS and both open questions closed. The convention
repo (slaguru666/contingency2027) carries the booking and points back at this
file rather than copying it: seventeen guards check the scenario here, and a
copy over there would be a second version nothing checks.

That spends the Sunday afternoon re-run reserve, which was real slack. The
convention schedule note now names this game as the one that gives if prep on
the eight booked games slips — it is the newest, least tested, and the only one
whose absence costs nobody a booked seat.

it is Bhattacharya's private box, so a player decides it, not the GM. Say if you would
