Okay for the start of the third chapter, let me recap some things.<br/><br/>Characters who are still on board:<br/><br/>Sue<br/>Sophie<br/>Mya<br/>Keri<br/>Lance<br/>Braxton<br/>Levi<br/><br/>Everyone else will be staying on Shadow or otherwise leaving the ship.<br/><br/><br/>Also, this will be added to the rules of the roleplay:<br/><br/>Playing in this game is an understanding that if you fail to respond to a post targeted at you within a week, then the scene should move on without you, your character being moved or made to act as necessary. Also, if you are not specifically involved in any scene, it is your duty to get yourself involved somehow. Anyone not posting for more than a month can not only be moved to their bunk, but also laid off,<em>killed off</em>or otherwise removed from the roleplay in a fashion that makes sense story-wise by the GM.<br/>All of the above need not apply if the player makes an announcement beforehand in the OOC thread. We do not demand details or even a big apology. All we want to know is if you will be coming back and when. If you are in a scene, leave us a note about your intentions and we will try to handle it gracefully in your abscense.<br/><br/>The play uses two (4) threads:<br/>A<strong>main thread</strong>for all story-relevant action. This thread is assumed to be in strict chronological order and while it is allowed to do 'private' encounters in this thread, they can be interrupted by other characters or the GM as the story moves forward.<br/><br/>An<strong>OOC thread</strong>(this one) for out of character discussions and announcements.<br/><br/>An<strong>intimate encounters</strong>thread. Here play can take place away from the pressure of keeping up with the story. Although all players play in the same thread, interruptions are on an 'invite-only' basis. As a consequence, all interactions here should take place<em>on ship</em>and at an<em>undefined time</em>and they may not<em>impact the roleplay in a major way</em>. That way, we can assume they happened at some time parallel to the regular play.<br/><br/>A<strong>characters thread</strong>where we store stats and background information of our characters.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Satan_Klaus
