I really like the limitation that you can't post again until the GM and at least one other person have posted: that leads to situations like this, where Will has noticed something, but he can't tell anyone about it until after someone else has taken an action that might be dangerous! I'm definitely interested in trying a game like this.
Yeah, mad whack. And there's no edit tag to suggest it was a bad edit. I'll keep my eyes open to the rest of the board and make sure we're not having some obscure problem, but typically anything messed up enough to blast bits of posts would be so bad it'd be readily noticeable elsewhere. Weird.
Anyhow, other players, that seems like the reasonable course, per Will: move along the road to where it gets close to the creek and get into the creekbed there.
Jon's just moving up along the other side of the road, hopefully getting to a point where he's parallel to the shooter. He hasn't seen a creek or anything like that.
Are you going east or west? If you go west a couple hundred feet, you get to a point where the dry creek bed (or whatever that channel is) comes within 80 feet of the road on the south side.
Sorry. I meant "psychometric analysis" in the Biblical sense. - Tip Wilkin.
You've gotten far enough east that there is a thin line of trees running between you and the shooter's location. He might see you coming if he's looking that way and if you aren't slow and careful but the odds of hitting you from a glimpse is small.

Above is my understand of the scene. Scene is looking south so it's upside down from the top-view maps.
Shooter had been upper left, Will glimpsed him moving across the scene and now he's due west on the far right. Jon has moved along the road to opposite the original position. I believe that everyone else is behind the bus.
Don't forget that you can add to your character's abilities on the fly. No outright super powers are allowed but they don't have to obey the laws science.

I don't know where everyone went. Go ahead and post - I've already posted twice since then. I'm gonna start shooting someone every couple of days if things don't pick up.

Just as an aside, my kid brother had to fly out to Italy on an emergency. I doubt he'll be posting for a few days. I'm sure he'd appreciate it if you wouldn't shoot his character.
Ben is next to the underside of the bus and the shooter is a ways off in front of the bus. See the pic above - you're where it says passengers and he's where it says Now.

I'm gonna be inconsistent this week: working double shifts, and mind is fried due to low sleep. I just wanted to say this, and I'm going to go to bed now.
I suspect that people who speak or write properly are up to no good, or homersexual, or both
i'l ltry to post IC tomorrow when i'm sober. But the general idea is to wait until effective pisto lrange(50yds or so) and then start shootin. I might tell Ben to shoot too, to draw fire. Who knows?

That's going to be Will's next thought. Presuming he's got some experience standing around in unfamiliar places with maps, there's two things he'd do: just walk east until we hit a major thoroughfare, or try to figure out how far west we've come by seeking higher ground and trying to match features to the map. If he were by himself, maybe he'd just walk, but there are other men, and women, and wounded, so...
That said, getting atop the hill only makes sense if you can see from it. Nicephorus, we're kind of sitting in a notch, as I recall, between two peaks. How thick is the foliage on these peaks? Are the trees bare there, too?
It seems like it's north to the resort, or south to Waterboro, each about as close as the other. The resort's more in the direction we're heading, but the town seems guaranteed to have people, and some means of communication. Will would probably suggest the resort, but that's not because it's a better choice.
