Dinosaurs? Strange people who live in mountains and trees?  Then this is the thread for you.  We are still taking new players, if anyone is interested. You don't  have  to be a spectator.     So here we are. Day 4. Where did we leave off? Where should I begin? Or is the term continue? Where should I continue? Yes, that's probably better, but it doesn't sound as cool.

At some point the three boat loads of brave vikings realized that they were nowhere near the new land, and had in fact found an island that was used as a waylay point for travelling ships.  Leaving a shelter behind for future men on the island, they shoved off in the late hours of the afternoon and pointed their ships back out in the direction they had originally been heading.  The journey was a little over two hours, and by the time land was spotted by pocksucket; the sun had begu...]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/world/f/4708/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/world/f/4708/1/</guid><category>world</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[New World (Day 1)]]></title><description><![CDATA[ The year is 1101.
