Ok to sort out some confusion about the Tinkers-
Tinkers are basically gypsy's who travel, collect, fix and sell things from place to place. Very tight family structures but unscrupulous with outsiders, Tinkers are not the most trusting or trusted folks.
Gally stepped into a fight between two men who killed each other over a woman. The gunfight also scattered the other members of Maggotville.
So who are these folks.
Where the older man was married to Elroy's "grandma" who was wounded in the gunfight and was worked on by Wolf.
But she's really not Elroy's grandmother (athough this does suggest in-breeding) but his Aunt. "Grandmother" is the older sister of Clara, who is Elroy's mom.
Based on Elroy's testimony, the woman that the party has met in the junkyard, is Clara. She is the wife of the younger man who was killed in the gunfight witnessed by Gally.
Marg is "Grandma's" daughter. She's probably the one we heard screaming in the sewer.
There are two other children, Meg and Bobby, but we don't know who they are children of, probably "Grandma".
Angie, was the new woman brought into fold, a second wife perhaps for the younger man or "another token woman" for the Tinkers. It seems the men were fighting over her when shots were fired.

New players are always welcome. Let's take another look at the character.

Thorgrimm- I went back and looked over Gunny and the feeling I get is that this won't work. It's not personal but based on past experience.
In Lone Wanderers try to introduce the "US marine frozen in hybernation sleep awakes to a Fallout world" line and it's crapped out.
I don't mind you having a sniper (24th level seems a bit stretched though) and I don't even mind you using a .50 caliber as such weapons had been used in World War 2 (but the Barrett is out of the Fallout time line a bit - this is a minor issue really). I am not sure if you need the complex story line.
Why not rework the character to more of a fallout line.
For instance, he could be a member of the Wasteland Rangers, headed out east after the group fell and has been working as a free lance in the area when the war between the Greys and the Greens came up.
Your character hears from Ollie (who ran the trading post) that there are people in Maggotville and has come to check on it.

Better- there are still some marine references early that seem inconsistent, but I just gave it a quick once over. You also have Doc. he could also join in.
Welsh, i went over my character again, and i am scratching my head in wonderment. As the only references to the Corps is his Great Grandfather was a US Marine. All his gear is hand me downs, his cammies are made by the women of the village.
The only thing i can think of is that you had a bad experience with somebody else and are trying to hold me accountable for that.
If i am wrong please correct me and i will profusely apologize , but your actions make that a distinct possibility.
Edit, i do not have any other characters posted. So who is Doc?

sorry my bad. Yes better. I saw another character and thought it was you.
OK, it's pretty slow, so my propositions of what can we do.
First, give everyone a clear target - maybe a little less freedom, but everyone will know what to do.
Make groups of 2-3 - it will be harder to stop posting while others are going on.
Ask who's going - to make everyone conscious that we can't stop like that.
I hope it helps - we CAN speed up!

I agree, Rohan. Actually I was waiting for PRudence to post, but I am getting tired of it. Right now I have been pretty busy, so can't post.
I am not sure who is still with us.
But please, people, take the initiative will ya!
Anyone else want to weigh in on Rohan's suggestions?

Yes, but read and catch up.
Folks, definitely, don't wait for someone else to post. If someone has not posted in 5 days, they may be killed off.
Prudence? Prudence? You there?

Ok, I am at a plot fix.
Not sure what to do with the women and two children. I have an idea about getting rid of them, but would like to hear your ideas on this.

I'm not currently participating in the thread, but I could suggest a few things; They get captured by the maggots, a raider band with a lot of trucks does a driveby and takes the women and children hostage or something and drive off to New York, or the kid kills his mother accidently. Something crazy like that. I dunno.
