FREEZE FRAME

Just so everyone knows, until this whole deal is resolved we are effectively in a time freeze.

February 1980, until such time as things are resolved this will hold up the time jump as well.

Just so I'm clear (and not cheating), is the whole game entierly on hold until we can all sit down and resolve things OR is the game still active and we can still PM/talk/plot/plan and we are essentially in 'real time' February 1980?

You can assume that you are in real time at this point. The fires occured three days ago. Only the time jump has been forstalled, and we have moved into real time at this point.
