Recap

East Coast:
Talon Company had a mutiny, Jabsco was killed and replaced by dark's guy Mack. The more brutal and cruel of the group were killed or outcast. Tenpenny Tower was also taken over by said reformed Talon Company. Burke and Tenpenny were killed.

Megaton bomb has been disarmed, Moriarty is dead and the saloon now belongs to Gob. Jericho was neutered by a bullet or two. There was some commotion recently with a character going nuts over there, as well. But that doesn't yield very much impact.

Super Duper Mart has been raided a couple of times.

Brian has been rescued from Grayditch, and made aware of his father's death. But the ants still infest the small town and its metro, not yet explored in its entirety by any player characters. Update: A PC (Qui) has recently killed the Ant Queen and her guards, and helped Lesko. Many ants may yet remain for the time being, however.

West Coast:
Novac was recently attacked by Raiders, but they were driven off by local militia. Both sides suffering heavy casualties. A rocket was launched from REPCONN not too long ago, as well.

The Tops was robbed at some point, and the vault room bombed, I think. But that was awhile ago, I don't know how they're doing now.

Dark's guy Cuda runs a hotel outside Vegas, where some stuff went down. But not much is happening there, these days (Dark isn't very active much anymore).

Gun Runners were robbed. Mick and Ralph were robbed-Ralph enslaved by Cuda, Mick likely dead.

And Dixon was brutally mutilated. You probably don't want to know the details.

Also, in regards to Novac:

Only militia were killed, no npcs from in game. And no, they're not weakened enough for one or two guys to take over. Especially since the raid because, despite losing people, they got more guns now.

As a side note, Gibson Scrapyard was also attacked by a very small group of raiders (stragglers from the Novac skirmish), but J helped kill em off. And now there are mercs over there guarding the place as well (at least two at a time, dependent on whether or not other mercs wanted to go there).

The former Mick and Ralph's shop was for some time occupied by a small group of junkies who were cooking their own stuff as well as utilizing the tools housed inside to build makeshift guns from scrap and junk. The junkies have been since vacated, and the place is now occupied by J and a few other mercenaries. They've begun building weapons of their own to sell and use and are using the place to run a small shop of their own. Currently, they are still just trying to get the business off the ground.
