[Capes] Show me how this game works

Hey all,

I'm wondering if there's any online Capes play going on at the moment.  My impression of the game is:

a) Cool
b) Potentially very fun with my players
c) Very difficult for ME to grok without seeing how it plays, first.

And since there's no one in the Denver area that I'm aware of who's already a Capes guru, that leaves me with observing or playing in an online session to figure out how all the pieces go together.

So... is there such an animal?  I've had Capes for nigh on a year now, and I'd really like to frigging 'get' it. :)

Someone gets into trouble, then get get out of it again; people love that story -- they never get tired of it.

Yeah, there's fairly regular play in IRC.  Wednesday nights, I think?

Doyce, I have a few docs floating around I could send you.  PM me with your e-mail, I'll set you up.  It's a fun game once you figure out how it works.

Doyce, the wiki for the IRC game that Fred is talking about is on your own site:

I haven't been able to play in it like I have wanted to, but it seems to still be going strong from all the activity on the wiki.

Fred, Filip, Arcane, or someone else; maybe the wiki could use some description about Where, When, and How the game happens (i.e. IRC channel, times, etc.).

Hey this is Arcane, leader extraordinaire of the Wednesday night game.  The game is played in IRC.  The server is irc.magicstar.net, we use the #indie_ooc and #indie_nar channels.  Games usually run from 2000 to 2300 or 0000 Eastern Time (currently GMT -6 soon to be GMT -5).  Lurkers are always welcome.
