Day 3, about the Bhosphorus ferry:

Alp is sufficiently versed in KS: Americans to start by saying it was a three-hour tour, which everyone got.

What is "KS: Americans"? I don't think you mean "Kill Shot: Americans", but maybe you do. Either way, I don't understand the point of a 2-hour ferry trip being described as a three-hour trip. :)

KS is "Knowledge Skill" - originally from Champions, but a lot of other tabletops in my social circle use the phrase.

"A three hour tour" is a Gilligan's Island reference, and is generally taken to mean "This boat trip is about to go Horribly Awry."

Aha! Okay, that makes a lot more sense now, as I've never watched an episode of Gilligan's Island. :)

No you have to spend some hard earned EPs buying up your KS:Americans skill.

Yeah, you just failed your shibboleth for being an American of our generation. :)

Why the devil would I want to do that? :)
