<span class="bbc_u">Charles Xavier's Relationship with Jay</span>:<br/><br/>Jay and Professor X have a student-teacher relationship only because Jay avoids answering any personal questions the professor may ask. The professor tries to include Jay into certain missions where he honestly feels that he has no business being involved in. It's to get the engineer out of the lab and to hopefully get him to feel more like an X-man than just a solution to everyone's hardware and software problems. By involving him in missions, he hopes that it will gradually boost Jay's self-esteem the more he's forced to make a decision within a tense atmosphere. Jay, however, enjoys the solitude the lab offers and staying away from situations that could have him killed.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Mansion specifics</span>:<br/><br/><em>Vulcan's Lab</em>: Basement Level 1 just above the Danger Room simulation levels and just below the first floor of the mansion. It's open 24hrs. If Jay isn't there, his droids are there to handle your problems, but Jay can be found there regularly. The lab can not only function as a research and development center but an infirmary for afflicted mutants. There's a droid for most situations.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Danger Room Simulations</span>:<br/><br/>"Danger Room? Ha, ha, ha, ha! Wait...you're being serious? Are you nuts? No way!"<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Posting Order vs. Free-form discussion</span>:<br/><br/>I think that if there's ever a group mission that there be a regulated posting order. It doesn't have to go exactly in order, but if we all know that someone hasn't posted yet, then we all should have the kindness to wait. We also need to be careful with how we transition. If the most active players are immersed in all of the action that logically the battle would have ended, and the busy players didn't get a chance to post, then it could ruin a group game. There should also be a waiting time so that we aren't waiting on a player for a month. Set the max amount of waiting days to whatever you feel is fair, and if we ever wait that long, then we can officially skip him/her.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">One meta-thread vs. separated threads</span>:<br/><br/>If you plan for this game to go beyond the Sentinel fight, then you should start with at least two threads. There's only five of us currently, so there's no need to make more than two. One thread can be the mansion, and the other thread can be the mission thread. Just have people post their character locations as a heading in their post so we all don't get confused as to where they are.  :-)
