Mr. Skirvin, let me put it this way: I have received the green light for my
timeline from Jason Carter. As he is an administrator of these lists, I am
considering that to be a green light for me to get the stuff rolling. I was
delaying because there was no decision on anyone's part as to where my plotline
was going. As of Jason's response, there is no need to delay any further.
Unfortunately, I am going on Thursday to be 180 miles away from my account.
Makes it kind of hard to make the timeline earlier. I'm going with my plotline
exactly as my last posting on plot-d with it. As I have said earlier, I have
received the green light. I'm sorry that my plotline is going to "mess up your
timeline" but that is now academic.

In addition, my plotline is already rolling. A few people on the list (3 if I
counted correctly) are aware of that.

As I understand Double Exposure, once runners get involved, the whole module
lasts a week. I particularly don't care when Double Exposure starts as long as
it ends at the same time that the run in Pittsburgh happens. Which is November
5th. My hands are tied to this because I am going to be away for half a week,
and I am the major writer for this plotline (plus have a lot of characters
involved in it).

Nope. Won't work. FBI is run by enough intelligent people to figure it out
quickly. Hell, If I read the plot synopsis of the module correctly, they
already had a good clue about it. Besides, one of the major pushers in the
Pittsburgh rescue of Crashkit is another FBI agent that is competing with the
one from Double Exposure.
