       "Black Friday" -  You Know Nothing Jon Snow Scenario I
       nformation

       Greetings Tankers!
       It is a dark time. Winter is coming. With it brings the most
       dreaded day in the Land of Retail.  Supply Wagons have been
       moving non-stop resupplying the various strongpoints along the
       mall. A rider approaches, and gives your Commander has
       disturbing news. Heralds call out for all to meet in the common
       area near Checkout.
       You and your fellows meet up with your counterparts in Hardware,
       Toys, Home & Garden and Automotive.
       The Commander takes a breath and begins.
       "You the Warriors of Retail, have done well in keeping the
       faith, and I must call upon you once more." He holds up a
       parchment. "Unfortunately the Lords of Apple have sent forth the
       Ravens with incorrect messages which will severely challenge us
       today." You and your fellows look around - this does not bode
       well. He takes a deep breath.
       "They have deemed the Apple 108 inch TV 4K HD which was to have
       a price of $1,999.99, with only ten per stronghold as only
       having a price of $19.99. The scribes made a grievous error for
       which we will pay for in blood."
       A shout goes up - "WHY are we to honor the $19.99? Surely no one
       would expect to receive such a prize as at such a low price!"
       The Commander raises his hand for silence. "Unfortunately the
       Lords of Apple have deemed that this price will stand. A
       retraction will only rally the House of Litigation to unleash
       their squadrons of Attorneys. This combined with the Beast Known
       as Public Outcry, would cause much destruction to the Apple
       Master of Coin. The Council of PR has deemed we make a small
       sacrifice for the greater good."
       "Already rumblings to the North have been felt." "Rangers report
       back that the horde is indeed on the move, past the Food Garden,
       and have a massed at the Main Gate."
       "Can we just say we have none in stock, and send them to a rival
       House?" Grodo from Automotive screeches.  The Commander shakes
       his head. "Nay, ordinarily that might work, but these, these
       demons are too smart to fall for this." He sighs. "We know they
       are watching all supplies being delivered. They know we have
       them."
       "Can we divert them to say - Toys?" Mutters Bill from Home &
       Garden. "WHAT!??? You coward sitting safely in Home & Garden -
       no one wants your wares. But Toys, oh the horror." Exclaims
       Jamie, a Veteran  of the Great Furbie raid of '97.
       "You know the tales!" She continues. "Look what happened last
       year! Poor Sam over there got smashed in the head by a crazed
       she-bitch wielding an EZ Bake Oven! Now he can only say only a
       few words." She looks over to a tall man towering over the rest.
       "Isn't that right Sam?
       "I AM GROOT."  Sam says. "Yes, poor Sam. And yet he's here to
       stand with us again, O brave Sam." "HODOR!" says Sam.
       The Commander raises his hand. "Nothing will prevent this. We
       must stand firm. We will get through this."
       A lookout reports a small war band has breached the perimeter
       and have evaded the wall guards. No more time to prepare! The
       evil is upon us! "TO YOUR POSTS BRAVE FELLOWS!"
       From behind aisle five a familiar voice rings out - "Who loves
       ya baby." A cheer goes up - Ash from S Mart is with us!!!  The
       Commander shouts "Ash! To Electronics!"  You and your fellows
       perk up - maybe you will get through this after all!
       Scenario: BoD & Staff will play the part of the unruly shoppers
       trying to bust in to get these TVs before the sale is slated to
       begin.  You as the Watch of Electronics, must stop them.
       Victory Conditions:
       The associates successfully defend the position by the time time
       runs out, or all unruly shoppers have been
       dealt with. They will have three attempts.
       Winner of the event will be ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd by damage
       dealt and game time remaining.
       If a tie winners will face off against each other in deathmatch.
       Last tank standing wins.
       More to come as time allows today.

       Yes, I read the entire scenario to my wife last night.  She is
       now convinced we are all truly lunatics.
       Good job Joe !
