On this date (202-1116), Strephon was assassinated and the Traveller reality timeline diverged. Just thought a quick note to commemorate the event was in order. 
Happy Assassination Anniversary

Not to deliberately spoil your post through nitpicking, but the canonical date is actually 132-1116 (May 12th in non-leap years). I do like the idea of commemorating it, though. Perhaps someone (me?) should "Ask Avery" if there's any special RW significance to that date or if they just chose it more-or-less at random.

I actually noted this ONLY because of the CoTI site's link to this day in history, stating that 202-Fiday (that is today, the 202nd day of the year) was the assassination date. I do seem to recall 132-1116 as the real date... I thought 202 is Strephon's birthday.

Actually it doesn't state that today is the date of the assasination. It says it's the date that Vland received word of the event. If you read the first TAS bulletin it states Strephon was assassinated on 132-1116.
If you go to the date 132, it does mention there that it is the date Strephon was assassinated.

As noted by someone on the TML, however, today is the 25th anniversary of the release of the original Traveller ruleset at Origins 1977. Yeah!

Now that's a nice note coming on the day we launch the CotI website and release the first copy of T20 Lite!
