1. My home. The most important edifice in town, and thus at the very center of my emergency plans.

2. Admiral's house. Admiral, as his name suggests, is in charge of Adamsvil's navy.

3. Directly south of my home is a straight cliff, patrolled by Boots. Given the stores of my manor, the river on the east, and the tactical advantage of high ground, the acre is clearly our Most Defensible Position. Should we be forced to retreat on all other fronts, this is where we shall stand.

4. Pippy's house. We all hate Pippy.

5. This cliff gives a fine view of the entire SW quadrant. It is Grizzly's job to keep watch here.

6-8. These three acres form the southern front. I have every confidence that the townspeople here (Bitty, Olivia, Hazel, Cheri and Leigh) will fight in Adamsvil's defense, aided by backup on the cliffs. Hazel's position is of particular importance, as she must scan for invading ships that may be gathering in our lake.

9. We do have a weak area here, as there simply isn't enough villagers positioned to repel an incursion along the eastern wall. Luckily, Officers Copper and Booker hold an unceasing vigil in this acre, and any call for alarm they raise will be quickly answered.

10. Hornsby's house. Hornsby keeps watch over the southern seas, alert for enemy ships. Naturally, this is an extremely important lookout point.

The only front that remains unfortified is the northern edge. But with the presence of Cesar, Ava, Cashmere, Puck and Billy, we are certainly well-equipped to muster a defense along the railway track. However, it is my opinion that any foreign invasion will come from the south, as the mountainous regions surrounding Adamsvil are all but insurmountable.

Four months ago, this was a community of hippies and dirt farmers. Now they stand united to defend their homeland at any cost. Adamsvil's future is bright, and we will celebrate the dawning of 2003 with a renewed sense of nationalistic purpose.
