				A place to discuss characters and their relationships, plot line ideas, and just chit chat and have some fun. Here's a list of informative links to help you familiarize yourself with the 'verse and it's inhabitants as they relate to our game:<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">The Game</span></span></strong></span><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> A Few Rules</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div style="text-align: left;">1.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Scene Deadline</strong></span><br>The deadline we're shooting for wrap up the present scenes and to get everyone back on the ship and on the same page is three weeks from yesterday. Soo, Monday, June 4, we plan to be off of Avalon and in the black on our way to our next adventure. Deadlines will become the norm in scenes from now on.<br><br>2.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Post Rotation</strong></span><br>From now on in situations like this, we will have a modified rotation (which the rotation will constantly change based on the need of the game and progression of the story). The main story will observe the standard rotation rules while the side story will observe a once a day post rule. So, in our current situation, for example Loves and Loki can post once a day, regardless of everyone else's posting order. This allows them to move their scene forward while not cluttering the thread with mostly their scene. This will apply to all similar instances in the future.<br><br>3.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Post Rate/Deadline</strong></span><br>In order to keep the game from growing stagnate, once your turn to post comes up in the rotation, you will have 3 days&nbsp; (72 hours) from the time of the last person's post to put up your next post. If you would like to forfeit your turn, that's fine, just let us know in the OOC and then the next person can go ahead. If you've not posted within the deadline of your turn, you will be skipped, OR, if the scene demands some action from your character, they will be godmodded by one of the GMs. The godmods will be indicated by red fonts and will be vague in their details, i.e. "Griff followed the rest of his crew onto the ship just before the cargo doors were sealed shut." You will also be PMed to let you know exactly where your character is along with any actions they may have performed.</div></div></div>Last OOC Post (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=110003.20000#lastPost)<br>IC Thread (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=110474.0l)<br>Last IC Post (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=110474.20000#lastPost)<br></div><hr><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">The Crew</span></span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">CREW MANIFEST</div><div class="spoiler_body"><hr><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Active Players</strong></span></span></div><hr><strong>Men:</strong> in alphabetical order<br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Griffin Kingston aka "Griff" - Captain (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.00) - Played by Michael Corvus</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Kiran Reed - Mechanic (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5867645#msg5867645) - Played by Moon Hound Hati</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Vincent Kincaid - Copilot (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5495331#msg5495331) - Played by Loki Aesir</span></span></li></ul><strong>Women:</strong> in alphabetical order<br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Cherish - Stow Away (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5495335#msg5495335) -&nbsp; Played by Chaneko</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Hotaru Takatori - Medic / Cook (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5867631#msg5867631) - Played by Hotaru37</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Kaela Moon - Hired Gun (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5866484#msg5866484) - Played by Curvykitten</span></span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Mae Little aka "Meimei" - Pilot (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109827.msg5495328#msg5495328) - Played by LovesReading2</span></span></li></ul></div></div><br><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">The Ship</span></span></span></strong></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Exterior</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/dragonfly.jpg)</div></div></div><div align="center">************</div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Deck Plans</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><div align="center"><span class="bbc_u"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Deck Plans</span></span> (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/bothdecks.jpg)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/bothdecks.jpg)<br></div></div></div><div align="center">************</div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Inside The Gamble</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">1: Flight Deck</span><br>The flight deck of The Gamble is a simple one, with just enough room for a pilot and copilot sitting side by side. Directly under the flight deck are the sensor systems, accessible by a small trap door in the floor. This small access room contains the ship’s sensor and communication subsystems and is accessible via a small trap door.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">2: Operations Room</span><br>This room is also known as the Engineering room and is essential during flight operations for managing engineering systems. Almost all processes of the ship outside of the helm can be controlled there. Machinery for the life support, heating, cooling water, and other auxiliary systems of the vessel are located there.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">3: Main Deck</span><br>The middle section of the The Gamble contains staterooms, two forward storage lockers, one aft storage locker, and two bathrooms. The doors to the Main Cargo Bay are airtight bulkheads, and the deck can also be sealed from the Ventral Cargo Bay and the Lounge Deck. The machinery for the rotation of the primary drive nascelles is also located on this deck. Stairs and a five-foot-square cargo elevator lead to the Ventral Cargo Bay and up to the Lounge Deck.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">4: Bathrooms</span><br>The lower deck bathroom contains a toilet, shower, sink, and various supplies. The upper deck has two smaller, seperate rooms. One contains the toilet and the other, the shower, each with its appropriate toiletries. Two bathrooms for so many staterooms is certainly not considered luxurious accommodations, but usually adequate.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">5: Captain’s Quarters</span><br>This stateroom has a queen-sized bed, desk, and wardrobe. The room is paneled in (imitation) wood with brass accents and deep blue carpet, giving it a rather “nautical” feeling. The desk is outfitted with telemetry to all the vessel’s major systems so they can be monitored from the cabin. Although small in order to conserve space, Griff has had the Captain's Quarters fitted with his own private bathroom with a pull down, collapsible sink and a slide away&nbsp; toilet.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">6: Infirmary</span><br>Though small, the infirmary is equipped with a Modular Operating Theatre, as well as a portable MedComp and MedAcad doctor’s bag. The room is modified to have its own separate recycled air supply to help maintain sterility.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">7: Staterooms</span><br>There are eight staterooms on The Gamble. The port side rooms, numbered P1 through P4 (for Portside 1 through Portside 4), are usually used for crew, while the starboard rooms (S1 through S4) are double occupancy and are typically used for First Class or lucky Second Class passengers.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">8: Lounge</span><br>Over the Main Deck is the Lounge, which is the social center of the ship. This area includes the kitchen, a large (bolted down) table and chairs, a laundry, a dry pantry and a walk in refridgerator/freezer. There are two Cortex Terminals for entertainment, and a moderate sized data library. The room has windows on the fore, starboard, and port walls.<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">9: Ventral Cargo Bay</span><br>The Ventral Cargo Bay lays beneath the floors of the main cargo bay and can hold 135 tons of cargo. The bay has a ten foot ceiling and fifteen foot wide cargo doors at both starboard and port. Under the stairs that lead up to the Main Deck is the personnel entry ramp. The cargo elevator will also extend down to allow entry or cargo loading from there. Note that&nbsp; the ventral cargo bay doors are not airlocked and can only be used in safe atmo. However, the elevator egress has a standard collar compatible with most docking mechanisms.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">10: Main Cargo Bay</span><br>This bay holds 360 tons of cargo, with a 25 foot high ceiling (except the fore 20 feet covered by the balcony to the Main Deck. Access to the floor of the bay can be reached by a small cargo elevator or a ladder. Fifteen foot wide doors are on the aft wall, and the elevator can drop down to allow cargo loading from there as well. The doors to the Main Deck are airtight bulkheads, and can be locked.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">11: Engineering</span><br>This small room contains a collection of machine tools and monitoring equipment for the drives and power core. Accessible here are two basic tool kits, one electronic master toolkit and one mechanical master toolbox. The power core is directly aft of the Engineering Deck, and can be accessed by a crawlspace. Most preventative maintenance can be done from the room, but a few tasks require the ship’s engineer to crawl into the machinery<br></div></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">The Verse</span></span></strong></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">MAPS</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Map of the Verse</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>The Verse (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap.gif)</div></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">White Sun System</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>White Sun System (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_WhiteSun.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_WhiteSun.gif)</div></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Red Sun System</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>Red Sun System (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_RedSun.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_RedSun.gif)</div></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Georgia System</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>Georgia System (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_Georgia.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_Georgia.gif)</div></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kalidasa System</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>Kalidasa System (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_Kalidasa.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_Kalidasa.gif)</div></div></div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blue Sun System</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br>Blue Sun System (http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_BlueSun.gif)<br><br>(http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/Corvus269/Projects/TheVerseMap_BlueSun.gif)</div></div></div></div></div><div align="center">************</div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Planets and Moons</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">Planets featured in Firefly and Serenity</span></span></strong></span></div><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Ariel</span></strong><br>Ariel is a central planet of the Union of Allied Planets. It is the eleventh planet orbiting White Sun. It is home to a major medical center (named Saint Lucy's) of the Alliance's solar system. Ariel is home to a bioluminescent lake that is a popular swimming spot.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Beaumonde</span></strong><br>Beaumonde, the fifteenth planet orbiting the star Kalidasa, is a fairly wealthy planet. The planet is known to have factories and ranches. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Bellerophon</span></strong><br>Bellerophon is a technologically advanced Alliance world, and home to the wealthy. It is the tenth planet orbiting the White Sun. It has both a large ocean and an empty area of desert climate, complete with canyons, rocks and sand. Isis Canyon is pointed out as the most deserted spot on the world. Bellerophon Estates, large self-contained estates that hover with anti-gravity above the moon's ocean, are described as having "gracious living, ocean views and state-of-the-art security." Durran Haymer, a collector of priceless Earth That Was artifacts, lives in Bellerophon Estates. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Haven</span></strong><br>Haven, a moon of Deadwood, the seventh planet orbiting the Blue Sun is a mining planet which is often used as a hiding place for those running from the law (for a fee) and is where some smugglers or criminals decide to settle down.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Hera</span></strong><br>Hera is an Earth-like planet with important significance to the Unification War, being one of the three leading planets for the Independent's side. It orbits the protostar Murphy, which is the fourteenth planet orbiting the star Georgia. Serenity Valley is located here, where the Independent Faction experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of the Alliance.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Higgins' Moon</span></strong><br>Higgins' Moon orbits Harvest, the fourth planet orbiting the Red Sun, where the primary commercial activity is mud mining which is performed by indentured workers called "mudders". The mud is exported offworld and used in the manufacturing of ceramic components. The bulk of the population are impoverished and/or indentured workers. The moon appears to be owned by a magistrate named Higgins. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Jiangyin</span></strong><br>Jiangyin is a border planet located three weeks away from Persephone, and also nearby Greenleaf.

It orbits the protostar Burnham, the eighth and final planet in the Blue Sun system. It was home to an Alliance colony with a population of 30 million. The Alliance experimented on the population to find a way to make people more controllable. However the experiments with "G-23 paxilon hydrochlorate", or "Pax", failed: 99.9% of the population became so passive that they essentially lost the will to live. The opposite effect was observed in the remaining 0.1% of the population, who became extremely aggressive and butchered the Alliance scientists in charge of the experiments. This portion of the population escaped and became the Reavers. The Alliance tried to cover up what had happened on the planet by creating a story that the colony was lost due to failure in the terraforming equipment. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Osiris</span></strong><br>Osiris, the seventh world orbiting the White Sun, is a wealthy core planet. "Osiris" is also the unofficial name of HD 209458 b, the first extrasolar planet to be discovered by the transit method.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Persephone</span></strong><br>Persephone is a civilized planet with a heavily stratified societal structure.

Located at times about two days away from the Space Bazaar Sky Plex.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Triumph</span></strong><br>Triumph orbits the brown dwarf Heinlein, itself ninth body orbiting the Red Sun. Triumph is a primitive and poor world, self-governed with rather unusual customs and traditions.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Whitefall</span></strong><br>Whitefall is the fourth moon of Athens, the ninth planet orbiting the star Georgia. A large percentage of the world is owned by a woman named Patience. Whitefall is said to not be civilization "in the strictest sense." A Blue Sun facility is rumored to be underneath one of the mountains.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u"><span style="text-decoration: overline;">Other planets</span></span></strong></span></div><br>These worlds were not featured on screen but were mentioned either in dialog or featured in other media such as the Complete and Official Map of the Verse, the Serenity comic books published by Dark Horse Comics and the Serenity Role-Playing Game published by Margaret Weis Productions.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Aberdeen</span></strong><br>Thirteenth planet orbiting the star Kalidasa.

It pays to know at least a little of both if you plan to get very far. Of the central planets, Londinum is primarily English-speaking, while Sihnon stands out as a center of Chinese influence.<br><strong>Mutt Tongues</strong><br>Hundreds of languages made the great leap from Earth-That-Was and most of them survive in pockets and ghettos on most worlds. Only rarely, however, will anyone encounter a community that speaks a non-dominant language exclusively.<br><strong>Cussin'</strong><br>Human beings have happily fouled the gift of language with whatever inventive, vindictive, and insulting expressions they can imagine. While the traditional English swear words have survived intact, a few additional crude cuss words have been added to the common man's vocabulary.<br>The basics include <strong>Gorram</strong> ("Run! It's the gorram law!"), <strong>Ruttin'</strong> ("It's gettin' too ruttin' hot in here."), and <strong>Humped</strong> ("He's got a gun on us. We're humped!") Cursing in Chinese is considered more imaginative and expressive, and most everyone does it - at least when his mother has left the room.<br><strong>Fightin' Words</strong><br>Some speech isn't cursing by traditional definition, but it will cause fists and bullets to fly just the same. Religion, politics, social class, and wealth are touchy subjects - as is mention of the Unification War.<br><strong>Browncoat: </strong> Member of the Independent Factions, Independent veteran. Adopted early in the war by the Independent Factions, a brown coat has become indelibly linked to supports of the Independents' cause. After the war's end, clothiers made good money dyeing brown coats blue or gray as folks wanted to forget the past and let the past forget them. Those that still 'wear the brown' do it on purpose.<br><strong>Frontier Slang</strong><br>In English, there are two predominant speech patterns. "Core Speech" is carefully used and grammatically correct. "Frontier Slang" sounds sloppy and quaint to Core speakers, who judge the speaker as poorly educated and low class. Those born outside the Core are more likely to have at least a little of the Frontier in their speech.<br><strong>Basic Rim World Speech</strong><br>-- Truncate the "g" for "ing" words ("schoolin'")<br>-- Pepper with slang adjectives.<br>-- Double negatives. ("It don't mean nothin' out here.")<br>-- Using odd words and word forms in phrases.<br>-- Use "don't" instead of "doesn't."<br>-- Ain't.<br>-- Odd Words: druther, yonder, dang, plumb, right smart.<br>-- Prefixing on "-ing" ("a-runnin'").<br>-- No -ly on adverbs. ("She described the plan real simple. That job's awful hard to do.")<br>-- Subject and verb don't match. ("We was goin' there. He got none of that.")<br>-- Malformed verbs. ("He growed up real good. He come by here last night. I seen it with my own eyes. He done run off again.")<br>A few examples...<br>-- "Looks like we got us some imminent violence."<br>-- "We got no short of ugly ridin' in on us."<br>-- "I'm just feeling kind of truthsome right now."<br>-- "We're in some peril here."<br>-- "We just need a small crew, them as feel the need to be free."<br>-- "This here's a recipe for unpleasantness."<br>-- "I'm shocked my own self."<br>-- "We'll be there directly."<br>-- "But she does have an oddness to her."<br><strong>Slang: Frontier Life</strong><br><strong>All-fired: </strong> Completely.

				Okay, I have a question for everyone. I have some really good deckplans for our ship, but it's not the Firefly class, which is a really pretty ship. So the question I have is, do go with the Dragonfly (which there aren't any good pictures of but I have really good deckplans for) or do we go with the Firefly (which there are plenty of nice, purdy pictures of but there's not any good deckplans for)?<br><br>The deckplans for the Dragonfly don't fit with the Firefly ship so.... what do ya'll want to do?<br><br>1.) Use the Firefly ship and skip the deckplans?<br>2.) Use the Dragonfly ship and it's deck plans?<br>3.) Use the Firefly ship with the Dragonfly deck plans and just overlook the fact that they don't match up?<br><br>Or are there any other suggestions?

				On a slightly more important note ...&nbsp; well, actually, it probably doesn't really matter to anyone ... I decided my character should have a tattoo.. something small on an upper bicep patterned after his regimental crest ... a four leaf clover, each leaf a different color, to represent the predominant ethnicities (think Ireland, Scotland, Wales on Earth-that-was) making up the unit:<br><br>(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff443/tgramm69/fourleafclover-tattoo.jpg)<br><br><br>Also, some thoughts on military matters.&nbsp; I don't think anyone should expect anyone to recognize the crest or patch of any particular military unit at random.&nbsp; Looking back at WW-2, even an American historian of the period wouldn't recognize the patch for every one of the hundred-plus U.S. divisions that were formed, much less the regiments that made up those divisions.&nbsp; Then, add to that the number of divisions the British, Germans, Italians, Japanese and Russians had.&nbsp; Given that the Unification War involved dozens of planets and (hundreds?) of moons, I'd say the task would be just as daunting without references.<br><br>On the other hand, there are some units which are famous, either because of their historical significance (82nd and 101st Airborne, or for the real history buffs, the Big Red One, the Americal Division, the Third Armor Division, or the First Marine Division patches are things you might recognize) or their incorporation into books and movies (Can anyone say Band of Brothers?&nbsp; Or maybe the Fighting 69th for you old movie buffs?)<br><br>Then there's geography.&nbsp; Though I'm no expert on WW2 order of battle, I do recognize the patches of the 36th Infantry Division and the 49th Armor Division, because they were (and still are, off and on) National Guard units from my home state.&nbsp; I imagine this is (or was) even more true in England, with their really cool regimental names, until the bureaucrats had to shuffle everything around.<br><br>So, I imagine this would be much like the War Between the States (aka: American Civil War) and WW-2, when massive mobilizations meant the raising of the armies was less centralized.&nbsp; Therefore, my guy wouldn't necessarily expect anyone to recognize his regimental crest without sufficient reason.&nbsp; However, it wouldn't be that unusual to expect to <em>occasionally</em> run across someone who has reason .. someone from another unit in the same campaign or theater of operations, or from the same home planet. (I remember traveling from Naples Italy to Washington DC and bumping into a guy in an airport I had been stationed with in San Antonio.&nbsp; Years later, I was in a completely different part of the country and needed a new tire, and the guy at the tire shop was someone else I had known from the same command in San Antonio... so it does happen.)<br><br>I'm babbling.&nbsp; I think I'm suffering from temporary insomnia.&nbsp; I do like the fact that we have all these people, many of whom have perfectly reasonable reasons for knowing / flying with one another, and not a group where half the people are former parliamentary operatives, while the other half have escaped from the Alliance Academy, and everyone knew Malcom Reynolds during the war.<br><br>No, I haven't been drinking, just can't sleep.&nbsp; I'll shut up now.

				Okay gang... we have a full crew compliment now and will be launching into the black soon. You might want to check the first post here in the OOC for some new links and such... I've triple checked the links to the rifles and pistols I put up and even had several other people check them for me, Pearl, Loves, Lilly and a couple who aren't involved in this game... they all said the links worked fine. <br><br>Please let me know if any of the links are not working or if you have any thoughts or ideas on what else we could post in the opening OOC post to help us with the game. I have some statistical information on the Dragonfly I could link to if y'all think we need it. Might be good material for our mechanic and pilots... Yeah, I think I'll put it up there.<br><br>I also have a nifty little signature add button that you can put in your signature if you'd like. I have it mine and when I get the IC thread put up and we get rolling, I'm going to link it to the IC. I'll be happy to help anyone with this who needs help.<br><br>Okay, so a few things to discuss. First on the list...<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Posting rules:</strong></span><br>In order to keep things organized and aesthetically pleasing, I would like to ask that all posts begin with a sort of header announcing the character's name, location, and very brief note as to what's going on, all in bold font and centered. For example, if I were to post that my guy were getting ready to leave the ship on business, I would start the post like this:<br><br><div align="center"><strong>-=Griff - In his cabin - Gearing up to disembark=-</strong></div><br>And then I would write my actual post here... blah blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda.... words and stuff. Yay. Then if there were some other action event that takes place en route to his destination, I would include another header, like this.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>-=Griff - outside Papa Smurf's mushroom - Fighting off an attempted mugging=-</strong></div> <br><br>Then I would continue to describe the mugging attempt and his fight to defend himself and his personal belongings... basically kicking some ass.<br><br>Okay, I think that takes care of that. Next on the agenda is:<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Pictures:</strong></span><br>You don't have to include a character picture in your posts, but if you want to that's fine. Just crop the picture down to a small enough size so it doesn't dominate the post and... all things in moderation. Please don't do it in every single post. Once in a while to remind everyone what your character looks like is fine.<br><br>Next up....<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Posting Turns:</strong></span><br>I don't want to take turns in the strict definition of "taking turns.' That is to say I don't want it to become:<br>"Is it my turn?" <br>"No, you go after Dragondancer." <br>"Oh, I thought Pearl went after you and I then I went after Pearl."<br>"No, *I* go after Pearl. Pearl goes after Griff and Griff goes after Dragondancer. You go after HER."<br><br>That's just crazy. What I'd like to do is more of a loose turn based style. Those of you who have played in group games should be fine, but for those who haven't, you just sorta watch the story, follow along and respond with your character when you feel it's appropriate. If you posted, you might want to wait until everyone else has had a chance to post before you go again, but that's not a strict rule. Sometimes it's okay.... even necessary for people to go twice or more before everyone has had a chance to react. We don't want to get too far ahead and leave people behind, but we don't want the game to stall either so... let's all try to be mindful of others and respectful. If you're not gonna be able to post for a while... for whatever reason, that's fine. Just let us know in the OOC if at all possible.<br><br>Next up...<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Character Interactions: </strong></span><br>It should be okay to interact with each others characters without any prior discussions, however please respect everyone's On's and Off's. If you'd like to do something pretty substantial to someone else's character, you might want to PM them first to discuss it and get their seal of approval. They just might have different plans. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and ask them.<br><br>Pearl and I have tried to put together a group of great writers and... I think we've a ruttin' good job. So, let's go create some gorram magic y'all!<br><br>Are there any questions, concerns, comments, suggestions... anything?<br><br><br><br><br>

				LOL .. you guys are HI-LARRY-US. <br><br>I ran out of "Crew" cabins so I had to stick a few of y'all don in the passenger dorms. I left the doubles free becasue, well if we take on passengers, those costs more to book... so more credits for us. I put the pilot and copilot close to the cockpit, the captain has the large captain's quarters, Sasha (as the first officer) has the other crew double cabin, and I put Dani close to the infirmary with Hayes as close to the engine as I could get her without giving her the other double crew cabin. Gem got the far passenger cabin because, well he starts off as a passenger. We'll see if can cut it as a member of the crew. ;)<br><br>Should we decide to take on more crew, we have a little bit of wiggle room as far as placing them in a room. But don't worry, I will put it to a vote before I take on any more crew. We already have 10 players.<br><br>Griff: "Mei Mei, will you keep it down over there? Sheesh!

				I think as roleplay groups go, ours is large enough without being too big.<br><br>Perhaps, as in real life, people can come and go, so it might be possible to take on a passenger at some point and have them stay as crew ... or perhaps when everyone gets tired of my guy, you can kill him off and I'll bring in a series of passengers until I come up with someone useful?&nbsp; (A chef, perhaps?&nbsp; One who makes balloon animals for the kids?)

				Aww don't be silly!

				So I had a thought in the shower (where all good thinking happens) while I was mulling over Si's perspective on the civil war, trying to suss out his reasons for being both 1) on the Alliance side then and 2) not ashamed of his past now, despite resigning. It occurred to me that these hypothetical conversations I was having with the crew might be interesting to actually have, but probably would've been earlier in the warm-up months of his arrival, so they'd probably look like out-of-place exposition type stuff in the actual thread.<br><br>Point being, anyone interested in some pre-thread PM conversation scenes?

				OMG you two, what a great beginning! Whatever time and effort you have been putting in together is paying off - you've got my attention. Feels like a real relationship there, the history between the two characters still their own with no one else knowing the details, but it is full and textured and delicious. I, for one, am highly encouraged (and just a little bit intimidated but wanting to reach for an approximation of caliber) - great job!

				Thank you for the compliments. This is my first EVER group game as GM so... I'm a little nervous about it myself. I've definitely put a lot of work into it already, but I've loved every second of it. Pearl, my highly talented coGM has been a tremendous asset for me and we have some things planned for y'all so... don't run off. <br><br>As far as the quality of writing... I think you all should know that was one of the things Pearl and I looked at when we selected our players. All of your character sheets were superb, and we checked on some of your previous writing so... just do what you've been doing and things will be great. We're not looking for a novella in each post so just remember QUALITY over QUANTITY. I have every confidence in ever one of you, else we wouldn't have selected you. LOL.. no pressure.<br><br>Still, I too am a little intimidated at times by the level of writing. I think we have a great group and I an hopeful that we will have a great game ahead of us. Now... let's go have some fun!

				Thanks, Water Lily!&nbsp; :D<br><br>I totally agree - I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every post, what an awesome group of writers and a fabulous cast of characters!&nbsp; Woo Hoo!!<br><br>@Shjade - Yes, I think we have somehow created a perfect mix of crew aboard The Gamble; Mei Mei and Vincent are young and enthusiastic and haven't been crushed by any of life's tragedies yet, still fresh to hope and wonder and fun just for the sheer joy of it. While Sasha and Si are older, matured and hardened from having either experienced or witnessed terrible tragedy and war and the ugly underside of humanity. Both sides of the same coin, hopefully each can bring something to the other's lives, rounding out pieces of themselves they might have lost or not yet acquired. And then there's the rest of the wonderfully intriguing cast of characters on board *nods vigorously*&nbsp; ;D<br><br>@NiceTexasGuy - Silly, you are silly!&nbsp; :P&nbsp; &nbsp;And I loved everyone's limericks and haikus, you guys are hilarious (and muy talentoso!)<br><br>*Eagerly waits for the next round of fabulous posts*<br>&nbsp;

				Attenion. This is your captain speaking.<br><br>I have added numbering to the stairs that link the upper and lower decks. 1U is for 1-Upper and 1L is for 1-Lower, whereas 1U connects with 1L. I also added some glowing to the perimeter of the stairs to make them easier to see. And lastly, I scooted the lower level deck over to the right a little. A friend of mine pointed out that the upper deck was overlapping the key for the lower deck. All better now.<br><br>If there are any other suggestions or ideas of things to add that might help you along in your writing, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll see what I can do to make it happen.<br><br>In the future, look for a link to canon characters we might encounter in the 'verse such as Niska, Patience, Sheriff Bourne, etc. as well as other characters who look to play a prominent role in our little corner of the 'verse.<br><br>That is all.

				Right! Here's something that mostly applies to <strong>crew member</strong> characters (sorry!). Basically, as we're RPing characters who have lived together for X amount of years, I figured it would be nice to highlight things they would know about each other :) Things like, solid historical facts, mannerisms, gestures, etc. Maybe even false facts and lies! Just because a character bio says one thing, doesn't mean everyone else knows that's the truth ^.^ MC calls it a cheat sheet, I just call it 'things you know.'<br><br>You can really approach it any way you want, like maybe you just want to highlight some basic likes and dislikes that everyone would know about. There's no structured layout for this, except for time spent on ship which is something we all should clearly know! But other than that one fact, there's also no limit to what gets written here. Just make sure what you write are actually things that the rest of the crew most <em>definitely</em> know about. It might be that what you did put in your character sheet is generally known by all after all. <br>For example, for Hayes, I might write:<br><br>- Has been on The Gamble for 2.5 years<br>- Worked as a mechanic on board 1 other ship for roughly 5 years<br>- Grew up on a farm in Beaumonde<br>- May have vaguely mentioned 3 brothers before when drunk, but even still, only rambles about 'Royce' who settled down, had 4 kids, and runs the family farm. Also rants on about how she misses the clean country air and wants to visit home some time soon.<br>- (Griff only) <em>Lost her twin brother during the war</em><br>- When <em>really</em> drunk, can be persuaded to loudly (and badly) sing folk songs, arm wrestle (and argue if she loses), gamble, and even playfully flirt (gasp!).<br><br><br>Take as much time as you like with it, and feel free to keep adding things. If you like, we can add the info to your character sheets, or if you prefer, it can stay as something in the OOC.<br><br>I just think it might help all of us feel more comfortable knowing more specific things about other characters without straying into “WTF? Don't read my character sheet and assume your dude/dudette knows that IC!” waters. Of course if you think it's a bad idea, don't feel like you have to write anything. Meanwhile, passengers/new crew arrivals will have the joy of introducing their own info directly into the IC as the story unfolds.&nbsp; ;D<br>

				Yes yes. Excellent idea, my trusty coGM.&nbsp; ;D Yes, I call it a cheat sheet but if I put up a doc to link to for references, I'll probably label it something like, "At a Glance"<br><br>But I think this would be an effective tool for us all to establish a more believable working relationship among the crew. I think it's important that we nail down how long each of us has been part of the crew that way we can establish who knows whom the best, the longest, whatever. There could be a "Things the crew knows" list and a "Things the crew don't know" list if you wanted to be specific about that as well. So, anyway... thank you Pearl for this good idea to help make our game as successful as it can be. And again... if anyone else has any ideas or suggestions... let's here 'em folks!

				No, just here in the OOC will be fine for now. I may make another thread for them later, or make a google doc listing them and make so that you all can edit them if need be. I don't know yet.<br><br>On a different note, I've been thinking about whenever we use Chinese in our posts. I'd like to poll everyone and see what y'all think would be the best way to make sure everyone knows what's being said. I'd rather not have everyone clutter up there post with translations littering such great work. I had a link to the Chinese phrases source, which was relatively small, and had it organized in alphabetical order abased on the first letter of the first word in Chinese... but I recently found a much bigger list that's in alphabetical order based on the first letter of the first word of the ENGLISH meaning... so THAT won't work. I suppose I COULD reorganize the alphabetizing of the old list to match up with the new list. Have I confused anyone yet? OTHER than myself? LOL<br><br>Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Questions?

				For my two pennies' worth, and regarding the Chinese use: I actually don't mind exactly what was done by LovesReading2 with the ~~~~ at the bottom and the translations shown. If you feel that really clutters things up, the links that she used the first time were brilliant. If neither of these is chosen as our favorite way of smoothing things out, I will be surprised.

				Regarding Chinese translation: unless it's something that requires a response (active dialogue that can't be figured out from context), I don't see that knowing exactly what's being said is important, to be honest. How often did you know what they were saying on the show? Never, in my case, but you got the gist of it from where, when and how it was being said.<br><br>Given it's mostly for flavor, and I get the impression none of us are fluent speakers of the language, I don't see translation accuracy being a high priority. Maybe that's just me.<br><br>As for the The More You Know idea, I like it. I'll have to mull over what folks would and wouldn't know about Si after roughly four months of time aboard the Gamble. Suggestion: could just have a link at the bottom of our character sheets to whatever post we make in this thread with those details? It'd mean more clicking around but it'd keep the character profiles shorter for those of us who end up with long detail lists, if any.<br><br>Edit: having nothing to contribute to the IC thread quite yet, may as well see about brainstorming such details now, I guess.<br><br>Things the crew in general would know about Simeon:<br>- Been aboard for four months.<br>- Was an Alliance officer of nonspecific rank.<br>- Comes from an upper-class family.<br>- Still has contacts and some influence in the Alliance military.<br>- Does not smoke. Occasionally drinks, but only above a certain quality of liquor.<br>- Yes, he <em>can</em> use that stupid pig-sticker he brought with him, Hayes. -.-<br>- Cooks a mean stir-fry (supplies permitting).<br>- Punctual to a fault.<br>- Will not discuss any details about Miranda that are not already public knowledge. (He doesn't know any, but who would believe that?)<br>- Not afraid to ruin his fine clothes if necessary while on the job.<br>- Will not strike a woman over petty disputes. Not even Hayes. If one should pull a gun on him, however, he is not averse to shooting first.<br><br>Things crew members who use the workout area would know:<br>- Benches 160 lbs. (roughly his own weight) for smooth reps. Is not in the habit of checking his maximum possible lift to show off.<br>- If strained, his right thigh is most likely spot to cramp due to old injury.

				On the topic of languages and translations, a little ooc scribble at the bottom like LovesReadings has been doing should more than suffice I think. Let's try to avoid getting all multi-coloured and italic-tastic everywhere. &gt;.&lt; <br><br>@ Loki: Similar to what Shjade said really. I'm sure in certain scenarios, Vince's sarcasm would manage to get under Hayes' thick skin. He'd certainly know when and if that happens though. Then again, he's been on the ship long enough for her to warm to him I think. I imagine she's warmed to all the crew members, even if she's a bit of a grouch at times. So I doubt she ever gets <em>really</em>, genuinely ticked off by his sense of humor.&nbsp; :P&nbsp; In fact, I can imagine her trying to almost pre-empt his remarks with a "can it!" or something, but him just saying it anyway because he knows he can get away with it?

				A few points on the chinese (and any other language). I agree with whoever it was that said it (I'm too lazy to scroll back and find it .. lol) about just surmising what was said based on the context of the conversation and the tone in which it was said. So, unless it's not painfully obvious what was said, we could just forgo the translations at the bottom.

				Vince’s cheat sheet.&nbsp; Oh, and I think I stumbled across a subplot as some point during our story. <br><br><strong>What everybody knows:</strong><br>~From Persephone<br>~Family owns a successful planetside courier business.<br>~Is able to expertly fly nearly every shuttle class vehicle given a few minutes of familiarizing himself with craft he has never flown before.<br>~Resorts to humor no matter the mood of the situation.<br>~Has a tattoo on his shoulder where each element denotes personal accomplishments or key moments in his life.&nbsp; Some he speaks freely about, others he dances around the meaning.<br>~He has actually burnt hardboiled eggs before and hasn’t been allowed in the galley without supervision since then, despite his claim that it was a result of extenuating circumstances that were beyond his control.&nbsp; Vince insists that the fire wasn’t <em>that</em> bad and that he really is a good chef, when in all actuality, he doesn't have the necessary culinary talent to turn cereal into breakfast and the act of him cooking is widely referred to as him "committing supper". Several months later, there is still no definitive accounting of what caused this incident to occur.&nbsp; (I figured this would be a fun side conversation piece where everytime it is brought up, Vincent will come with some new excuse that is rather out there.)<br><br><strong>What only Griff knows:</strong><br>~One of the primary reasons he left Persephone was because one of the more influential and dangerous gangs on the planet wishes to kill him in an agonizing manner should their paths cross.&nbsp; They won’t go so far as chase him off planet or make a scene in broad daylight with witnesses, but Vince makes it a point to avoid alleys and wandering into their territory proper.<br><br><strong>What Mei Mei only knows, but Dani may infer:</strong><br>~Vince suffers from severe Trypanophobia.&nbsp; Even simple inoculations require immense willpower on his part to keep from passing out on the spot.&nbsp; The sight of needles alone can be enough to make him break out in a cold sweat and make him lightheaded from his anxiety.<br><br><strong>What can be deduced:</strong><br>~He has a huge crush on Mae.<br><br><strong>What nobody knows (yet):</strong><br>~There are dealings that his family’s business is involved in that could very likely place them all in prison for several decades if evidence of it became known to the proper authorities.&nbsp; Vincent would also be on the receiving end of the judgement should such a thing occur.<br>~His family is very wealthy, though much of their income remains off the accounting ledgers because of its illicit nature.<br>~Vince is extremely stubborn in the face of personal peril, even in the case where physical harm can/has/is inflicted upon him.&nbsp; During such situations, his wit becomes his mental and emotional anchor in the wake of the pain; the result of which makes it almost guaranteed that he will lash out with insults or sarcasm during such high stress situations.&nbsp; More often than not, this only makes matters worse for him.<br>~That he is more skilled with sidearm marksmanship and armed melee combat than he lets on.<br>

				I love how the story is going so far. Every post I read makes me want to learn more about the characters. I hope MeiMei can get to know each one soon. I realize there will be some characters closer than others but I hope that each character will have some interaction with the feisty pilot, no matter how small.

				Good luck to your son, Lilly!! <br><br>Just a quick note: As I'm sure most of you have already noticed, I've moved the cheat sheet notes from the bottom of each character sheet to the top. Just click on the spoiler tab that says <strong>At A Glance</strong>. I figured this would make it easier on everyone, that way you don't have to scroll to the bottom of the sheet if all you wanted was to take a peek at the notes.<br><br>Also, I grouped the cast by gender and alphabetized them based on their first names and then put them all inside of the <strong>Crew Manifes</strong> spoiler link as well. The other characters of the verse and new characters Pearl and I will be inventing for our crew to encounter will also be included in the <strong>Characters of the 'verse</strong> spoiler link<br><br>Lastly, at the top of the character sheet page, I added some links back to our other threads, namely the OOC and IC thread as well as a link to the IC Last message posted.<br><br>I hope everyone likes the changes and if you find any problems, please let me know so I can make it right. Thanks. :)

				Okay... posted. We'll be landing on Persephone very soon now gang. Sorry to hold everyone up. Everyone should be in a position to go ahead and post now if you want.<br><br>On a side note, I've changed the code around so that when you click on a character's name in the crew manifest list, instead of loading a new tab or browser window that post, it will simply jump down the page to the character's post. This way is much faster and easier on older, slower computers and internet connections.<br><br>I'll be working on minimizing as many url redirects as I can to keep everything localized and quicker to access. This may necessitate the use of spoiler codes which may not be as aesthetically please but much more efficient.<br><br>Thanks everyone for making this a great game.<br>

(slight pause with the sound of keyboards clicking and the crisp opening of a can of pop in the background)&nbsp; okay you're gonna go straight for about thirty clicks then turn right and right again the take your first left go down for another 30 clicks, turn left again and then its the second right ....keep an eye out for freeloaders, they are running ramped these days.<br><br>MeiMei:&nbsp; Right I got that so ..... thanks I guess. Later dude.<br><br>Control Tower:&nbsp; Peace Out <br><br>So as you can see,&nbsp; Michael's assistance in making it more realistic really helped :D&nbsp; I'm having so much fun with this game!

				Okay... it has come to my attention that I made a serious boo boo. One that I should have known better than doing. I edited my post to add a new conversation several hours after the initial post and I tripped a couple of people up. Luckily, we got it sorted out. So... I would like to ask that if anyone edits there post more than 4-5 minutes after initial post in any way aside from correcting spelling and grammar errors, that you post a note here in the OOC in regards to the edit and where the new content is located in the post. Also, we shouldn't go back and edit posts to comment on what someone has said or done in a post AFTER your post. This is not happened here, but I figured I'd go ahead and mention it anyway... just in case. (Cause I did that in one of my older games. lol)<br><br>Okay, thanks for a great game so far everyone. ;)

In truth, you could go ahead and post again and Pearl can just catch up posts, so long as no one is interacting with her directly and is waiting for her to reply to move the story forwards.<br><br>Dragondancer and I have a scene to play out and Meimei is still in the shower while Vince seems to be looking for the Griff. So, even though we've landed, we're not all quite ready to leave the ship yet, it seems. Which is perfectly fine.

				LOL... Okay, I'll give you that it looks like a rocket blasting off. It really does. But no, it's the light of Earendil, from Lord of the Rings. In the movie, Galadriel gives the vial of luminescent light to Frodo as he laves Lothlorien. As she hands him the vial, she tells him, "I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved start. May it be a light for you in dark places when all other lights go out."<br><br>&nbsp;Maybe I'll change it again. Should I change it back to what it was?

				Thank you Chaneko. I like it, though I'm already thinking of changing it. lol.<br><br>On a different note, I've still not heard back from NiceTexaysGuy, so... what I'll do is just play out the scene on Persephone I had planned and adjust accordingly. If he doesn't show up by the time we take off again, then Pearl and I will adjust our plans for the story that we have so far, and re-evaluate how to spin the story about Steve McPhersone. If he shows up again later and wants in, then we'll have to figure out a new way for him to meet up with Griff and become part of the crew since we may not be back to Persephone for a while. <br><br>I sent him a PM on the 27th, but he hasn't been active since the 24th. If anyone hears from him, please have him contact me ASAP so Pearl and I can figure out how to figure him into the story. If nothing else I can bump the interest thread and see if we can get someone else in to play or we can continue with the way we are now. I'd like everyone's thoughts on this, please.<br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>EDIT</strong></span><br><br>

				I've edited my previous post regarding NiceTexasGuy to more accurately reflect my plan of action.

I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause with the story slowing down, but I trust we'll be moving along again in short order.

				Re: Steve/NiceTXguy - there should be a bit of time on the ground so if by take-off he shows up again, shiny. Corvus/PearlRuby are doing great with the 'we'll figure it out and make room later' plan as far as his rejoining if it is after take-off when he next shows up. No reason not to let him play since we all got along with him and liked the character concept. However,<br><br>Re: other characters - if the GMs say we need another character to fill things out aboard ship, that's up to you two. I am happy to trust in whatever crazy-ass plans you have for the Gamble. Hell, I'm just along for the ride. I know Corvus had a smattering of other male character ideas that have not yet been picked up - perhaps one of them should fill in (played by whomever, GM or otherwise) until he gets killed or turncoats against Griff or smarts off to Sasha in some disrespectful manner and gets his ass beat. Then there would be room again for Steve/NiceTXguy or a more permanent player.<br><br>Imho, I love each and every one of our players and their characters - what a misfit lovable bunch we have!

You've not missed too terribly much and, as Pearl and the others have mentioned, you are difinitely not out of the picture.

				Scene outtake #XY<br><br>Si: Doctor, while we have a moment, would you mind checking on a bandage for me? I did it myself, but, well, given the changeable nature of the wounded area, perhaps it's best to have a medical opinion on the matter. It won't take but a moment for me to whip it out, though I suppose the checkup could be a bit harder by then. What's so funny?

				O.K. - now that I've finally managed to pick myself off the floor from laughing, 30 second bunny clips are funny but not nearly as entertaining as Shjade's recap. Welcome back (so much!), Nicetexasguy. I hope everyone's fourth (celebrating the American Independence Day or not) was fun and safe; I was having a blast out of town but managed to read and reply to the discussion regarding a possible new character. With some NPC interactions (very nice double teaming there, GM peoples!), I will be responding again soon. Whew... did I touch on most of it? OMG, I am enjoying everyone's characters and posts, thank you!

				*whew* O.K., I've posted. Corvus and Pearl were in on the previous NPC stuff, but Corvus wanted me to try running this whole mess across the boulevard. Hope it is entertaining if not enlightening as to the swept-under-the-rug proclivities of the natives here.<br><br>And I thought the kitten in Ma'am's handbag a great addition. In fact, why doesn't the crew have a cat on board? Half of the crew seems to want a pet... heh, meaning something smaller and fuzzier than Cherish.

Maybe not the most <em>direct</em> answer, but he's being a little grumpy at them at the moment. Messing around when we're trying to be srs people? Right - stop that! Sillay!<br><br>Besides, leaving her question lingering a little gives Vincent more to wonder about regarding their possible relationship. After all, if Mae is the one asking about Si missing her and Si isn't being all eager to reply, it suggests she's pursuing him a bit, doesn't it? And what might that mean about the depth of her interest in Vincent after all?<br><br>Ah, the tangled webs we weave with only a single sentence... ;p

				Great posts everyone. I'm really enjoying everyone's posts, the developing stories and character dynamics are really great.&nbsp; Y'all are posting so quickly now. *head swims* I just want to ask everyone, if you would, to just slow down a bit (where the overall story progression is concerned) and let some of our other writers who can't be here as often as the rest of us catch up. If it's involving a conversation between two or more characters and it's not progressing the story ahead too far, then that's okay. I just&nbsp; hate the thought of those of us who can't be online to post as often as others suddenly feeling overwhelmed and left behind... myself amongst them. lol I can't post nearly as frequently as some of the rest of you. I seem to struggle with posting, myself. TO ME, it seems like it takes me much longer to craft a post that's not crap and I still feel lacking when I compare my post to the rest of y'alls. Thanks for your understanding and patience everyone... and keep up the good work. I'm loving the story as it develops!<br><br><br>EDIT: Seems I poorly worded my first message and conveyed the wrong message. lol. Ooops. Thanks to the person who pointed it out to me. You know who you are, Loves....&nbsp; ;D

				Well, I know that grdell and Loves both wrote that the two of them have become very close and Mae spends a lot of her free time talking to Lex and asking him tons of questions about his life as a companion. I know that Vince is also close to Lex and they talk, so I can only assume that the same conversations have taken place, more or less. I can imagine Vince asking Lex what did Mae ask him or what did they talk about.... but that's just how I imagine it. I haven't spoken to them about it personally.

				Note: I made a small change to the deck plans to update room assignments. Since Blackflow (Gem) will not be joining us, I removed him from the plans, put Steve in that spot instead and moved Lex upstairs in Steve's old spot. This keeps our double occupancy rooms open for paying customers or... whatever else our characters can find to get into. *nudge nudge, wink wink*&nbsp; Tex, feel free to occupy the room that Granny just left.

				Question:&nbsp; Did you want Vince and Mae to go through in detail of their shopping experience or are we allowed a certain measure of time skipping?&nbsp; The groceries would be mundane enough and Vincent isn't going to feel a need to consult Si for knowledge on where to get the meds.&nbsp; It is his home planet after all and the less honest dealings within the family business would have established a few trusted contacts throughout his years on the job.&nbsp; It's likely that Vince will want to show off his resourcefulness with finding the more difficult to access goods by his own merit.&nbsp; I feel like it would be more entertaining to focus more upon gathering things for the infirmary than it would be for the foodstuffs.

				No, you don't need to post in detail their grocery shopping.... though I could see some certain amount of fun to be had there. You can time skip and show off Vince's resourcefulness if you like... I can see that and was going to suggest it myself, actually. Just don't time skip too far ahead and have them done before everyone else has had time / describes their characters having done something of similar time constraints and all should be well.

				One of the tricks to managing a group game is managing the posting rate of the game so that everyone is happy. This is not always successful as some people are wont to post far more frequently than others, who may WANT to post, but are unable to for whatever reasons. <br><br>Now, please bear in mind that this message is not directed at anyone in particular, nor is it my intention to make anyone feel embarrassed, guilty, to blame, at fault, responsible, or any variation, derivative, way, shape, or form thereof. That being said, we currently have a few folks who post almost on a daily basis and a few who can only manage to post two to three times a week. <br><br>So, what I'd like to do is try to find a way to make everyone happy and keep everyone involved in the game without clogging up the (insert big, booming, echoing, dramatic voice here) <em><strong>SPACE TIME CONTINUUM</strong></em>. I don't want anyone to become frustrated with the pace of the game in either direction, but I would like to remind everyone that, should we not be able to find a solution to this problem that we will be falling back on what was originally posted in the interest check thread here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=109742.msg4768335#msg4768335). Please note the big red <strong>NOTICE</strong> at the bottom of that opening post where I inform everyone, <em>"The posting rate for this game will be relaxed. We all... well MOST of us anyway... have real lives outside of E, and sometimes that real life monster rears it's ugly head and prevents us from posting as much as others would like us to. I ask that all players be kind and considerate to each other."</em><br><br>Now, I realize that I actively recruited some of you into the game and I may have neglected to direct you to this thread, so you may not have read this notice.... which is MY fault, not yours. I take full responsibility for that and will not hold any ill will if you should decide to bow out if the game becomes to slow for your tastes. I would really HATE to see that happen, as I believe Pearl and I have assembled a stellar cast of writers who, together, are weaving a very fun and interesting tapestry based in the Firefly 'Verse.<br><br>I still think that my previous post concerning this matter holds true, that is; if you are involved in a scene that is separate from the rest of the story and the person with which you are writing said scene is okay with a faster pace, then feel free to post at your own pace, just be mindful of how much time has passed in your scene as compared with the rest of the characters' scenes and be prepared to wait if you finish your scene early, bringing you back to the rest of the characters and their story if they've still not go to the same point in time as your character yet. The reason I mention keeping track of how much time has passed (time of day) is because, as GM, I may want to trigger a certain event at or before a certain time, and if you write ahead of that time while everyone else is still way back earlier in the day... it can create some headaches for me and confusion for us all.<br><br>Anyway, that's all I have for now... that I can think of. If y'all have any questions or suggestions or even just want to comment on this, please... I love to get input from my players. The discussion is open for all.<br><br>Thanks to ALL of you for a great game so far. Let's continue our journey.<br><br>

				@ Shjade: I'm flexible on a lot of the oay out. If you have something in mind you'd like to write but you're not sure about boundaries, shoot me a PM and I'll let you know. Dragondancer had actually asked me if I had a specific place in mind for the meet to go down or if she could run with it. I told her to run with it and I love where she ran to. It's the perfect cover and I can so see Ferret being a huge horticulturist geek and using her shop as a front for her more illegal business endeavors. So... thank you Dragondancer for "The Best Little Hot House in Town," and "Happy Suck" and crew. Great job on fleshing out our game.<br><br>So, in short... just ask me via PM and I'll let you know if it's acceptable or if I have something else already planned out. I think you'll find you'll have a lot of leeway to play with.<br><br>EDIT: Ferret is now listed on the Character Thread under "Characters of the 'verse." Just follow the glowing red words!

I only hope that she is alright and nothing bad has happened to her.<br><br>While I realize that her character hasn't really had much of a need to post lately, I have had to change things up and deviate from our coordinated game plan. This is not a big deal, but we are looking at leaving Persephone in the near future and we will need a mechanic to install our new catalyzer at the least, preferably to accompany us in case something else goes wrong. I know that some people are very particular about having others play their characters for them, so I will not god mod her character for this reason. Suffice it to say that I feel it would be in our best interest to advertise a need for a new mechanic writer/character sooner rather than later so that I could have time to review character sheet submissions and so that whomever I decide on will have some time to play a little catch up.<br><br>I will be writing Hayes off the ship and out of the game in such a manner that, should she return, she may still rejoin us. Taking that into consideration, I will probably be looking to fill the mechanic position as more of a hybrid role character, someone who can keep us up and running while also being able to assist proficiently in another role. This way, if Pearl DOES return, our new writer won't be redundant and out of a job. Would anyone like to have their character being somewhat knowledgeable of ship mechanics who might be able to assist whoever we find to replace our whiz mechanic, Hayes? It's not required, but I figured I'd put it out there to see if anyone bites. <br><br>Does anyone have any questions, comments, or suggestions on this subject?

				I think it makes sense for Steve to take over the position while we wait for Hayes to "recoup" rather than replace the role. If you feel the need to find another writer still, well that's up to you. I'm sure whoever it is will be welcomed by everyone. However, giving Steve the role as stand in mechanic would allow the story to continue as well as allow Pearl to return, should that be the case. <br><br>

				PearlRuby and Hayes may have abandoned ship? Nooooooo! Say it isn’t so!&nbsp; &nbsp;:-(<br><br>Actually, I’m worried about Pearl too, it doesn’t sound like her to just disappear without letting us know ~ I really hope it’s just a matter of an extra-busy real life needing to take precedence for awhile, and she just doesn’t realize how much time has passed since she’s posted.<br><br>So I’m fine with either a new writer acting as temporary mechanic and then reverting to backup to Hayes/passenger when Pearl returns, or Steve being able to do double-duty as a hired gun and temporary mechanic if Tex likes that idea.<br>

				Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. Based on the feedback from Tex, Dragondancer and Loves, I both agree and like the proposed idea of having Steve fill in as a stop gap mechanic until such a time as a more permanent and specialized mechanic is needed. Hopefully Pearl will return to us. She is a very talented writer has been an important part of helping me plan things to come in the near future for our rag-tag crew.<br><br>So, I'll pull down the advert for a new mechanic character and get to work writing Hayes's dismissal from the ship for a while to take care of some more pressing personal issues.<br><br>Tex, feel free to make any additions, changes, or tweaks to Steve's profile and send it on over.<br><br>Thanks for the help and the input y'all.

				Right, just a little addendum to the profile about his boyhood should do the trick.&nbsp; I'm thinking that if certain members of the crew are less than thrilled to have Steve along on security assignments, they'll be "stuck" with him now that he's the closest thing they have to a mechanic for a while.<br><br>On another note, it looks like between Apache Grocery and the Happy Happy Suck Suck crew, a certain potential stowaway might find an opportunity to slip onto the ship unnoticed by anyone who matters.&nbsp; Should be interesting to watch.

				Very funny outtake scene there Tex.&nbsp; XD<br><br>I'm sorry to hear that you're gonna be away for a bit, but even more sorry to hear why. :-( My heart felt condolences to you and your family for your loss. Take as much time as you need, bro. I'll god-mod Steve if I have to, but I'm sure we can just weave in some implied actions for him until he gets back to the ship and settles in for some rack time or something. Don't you worry about a thang.<br><br>You just focus on family and friends and the important stuff.<br><br>@ Scotty - Dude, I'm sorry I completely forgot that Anwar had called him on the radio man or I totally would've had him call back. There was even some thought about Sasha having received the call by accident and wondering who the hell was on her frequency calling for Griff. Ugh! Sorry 'bout that.<br><br>@ Everyone - Diane was supposed to be Jack's sister... but everyone seems to want her to his wife, which is fine actually. It's not important at all and it actually makes more sense.&nbsp; ~ Little ditty 'bout Jack and Diane. Two (Persephone) kids doing the best they can.~ with their little girl... ~Janie's got a gun!~

				Nah, don't worry about it man. You're not the first one to make that reference (I don't think) so I think it'd be easier for ME to change it than everyone else. It's not important whether she's a wife or sister, so I'll change it. :)

				Well, there was a lightening storm that rolled through about 8pm tonight and I suddenly lost power in the house for a about 1.5 seconds. Since then I can't get my computer to come on anymore. :( I'll keep tinkering, as I always have to do, and see if I can get it up and running again. So far, I've been fortunate enough to keep my severely outdated computer running just well enough to get on the internet (although it has been terribly slow for several months now) and keep up with the game. I can make no promises aside from I promise to keep trying to get my computer in running condition again, but with my financial situation being in such dire straits as they are, I can't go and buy any new parts.... so the parts I have on hand will have to suffice if I have any hopes to get back in running order.<br><br>I'm posting this from a relatives computer, which I will not have access to very often. Wish me luck everyone. I'm sorry that this has happened and I apologize for the inconvenience my absence may cause.

Maybe those who are already on the ground enjoy their R&amp;R so long as it doesn't bring the sun around again.

				I am about to post for Cherish (or whatever her name is going to be) and wanted everyone to note just how dizzying it is to have time passing irregularly for some characters. With a few, it's only been an hour since leaving the ship. For others, it seems to be the dark of night already, beyond last meal.<br><br>Mind you, this is NOT a complaint. I just want to fit in where I do not cause anyone else problems and beg your patience and forgiveness if I describe anything too pointedly in an inconvenient direction. I am working to make my character slip around without notice for as long as possible but will not simply state that she gets away with it forever. There is a very real threat of discovery as she hides aboard the Gamble and I'm hoping to be fair about not abusing the placement of the other characters.<br><br>However, the most likely form of discovery has already been thwarted at this time (as Dani seems a mite busy - Lilly and I had contemplated a scenario that is unlikely for now). So..... not trying to nudge anyone in particular, and I am in no hurry, but there is a stowaway on board (are they really a stowaway if the ship's still on the planet?).<br><br>btw, welcome aboard, Cassiopeia

While there, he'll also do his part by keeping an eye on said monitor just to make sure she doesn't have any bad dreams that he would need to comfort her out of.

				That's right. Thank you, Cassi for that announcement. It's so great to have a Co-GM, and even though you've only just joined with us, you're doing a wonderful job and your involvement is helping me by leaps and bounds.<br><br>Now, I know that I polled everyone and the majority of you voted to play the R&amp;R scene, but that was during a time when a few of our players either already were, or were about to to be, away for a time. Now with Tex back and Loves returning on Friday, Cassi and I discussed it at length last night and decided together that it would probably be in the best interest of the game and everyone involved if Griff were to cancel the remainder of the crew's R&amp;R, recall the crew and buzz turbo to get on with this job. There's also a good reason for this plot wise, which you will all soon be privy too.<br><br>So, I apologize for vetoing the vote to play the R&amp;R scene, but it's an executive decision Cassi and I both felt had to be made. Like Cassi mentioned, we will/can play the R&amp;R scene after the job is completed or at a later time and even at a different place with a less offensive name. lol<br><br>If anyone has any questions, comments, suggestions or criticisms.. too bad. ;D I'm totally kidding. You know I like to hear from you all. You are, after all, the pulse of the game.<br><br>Thank you all for playing and making this game what it is.

				@ Everyone.<br><br>My hand is giving me much grief and discomfort... why am I talking like Si? Frankly it hurts like hell. :) Soooo, I've asked our lovely and talented new co-GM to ghost write for me/Griff until I am able to comfortably resume control of him at the keyboard. Cass and I will be working closely to keep thing moving along as best we can while making things as fun and interesting as possible. I know there's been a lull in the game/action but I promise things will be picking up soon, so please bear with us. We do have some fun things in store for our intrepid crew.<br><br>Thank you all for being awesome and making this game fun.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Your GM

				Okay, gonna be getting Anwar's next post up soon so he and Griff can reach their destination and we can talk about some work.<br><br>Before I do, though, I feel the need to address something that's been on my mind.&nbsp; Some of you may take offense, and I'm sorry if you do, but honestly, someone has to say it, and since I'm notorious for speaking my mind and tend not to care if people don't like what I have to say, then I guess I'll be the bad guy.&nbsp; It's not that I enjoy doing it, but when it needs to be done and everyone else is afraid of looking like an ass, then I don't mind being that ass in the interest of getting things out in the open that need to be dealt with.<br><br>Ridiculously long posts.&nbsp; I understand some people love to show off their writing talent, and that's fine.&nbsp; But honestly, some of the posts in this game are just reaching ludicrous lengths, and it's becoming more and more of a chore to wade through twenty paragraphs of fluff to find two or three relevant statements that actually contribute to the story and help it progress.&nbsp; There's nothing wrong with being a great writer, and wanting to show it off, but when you're writing with eight or nine other people, you have to remember you aren't writing alone.&nbsp; There's no need to write a novel every time you post.&nbsp; It becomes taxing, and starts to feel more like a chore to constantly have to wade through a five thousand word count to get a simple point across.<br><br>A person can be very descriptive without having to take five paragraphs to explain actions that can be compacted into one, and truthfully, the word count on some of these posts are starting to intimidate some players, I think, which is why we're not seeing them post very often.&nbsp; In a group game, you have to curb it a bit if you want to preserve the flow of the story and keep it moving along at a decent pace, otherwise it will eventually come to a screeching halt and die as more and more people lose interest in watching people measure their virtual penises.&nbsp; I understand sometimes it is necessary to have an extra long post, and in many of my solo role-plays I'm just as guilty of it as anyone, but a group has a different dynamic, and honestly when people are constantly having to pick their way through fifteen paragraphs to single out a few points that could have easily been made in five or six paragraphs, interest wanes and eventually fades away completely.<br><br>Sometimes less is more.&nbsp; As I said, there are times when a lot is happening, and some people are having to include more than one character in many of their posts, so they have to be a bit long.&nbsp; When you're controlling one character, though, there's really no reason to spend five paragraphs describing that character every time, and honestly a very good writer can include quite a detailed description in one paragraph so the rest of them can actually help push the plot forward.&nbsp; Quantity does not equal quality, though at times quality forces the need for quantity.<br><br>This post is in no way meant to antagonize anyone, or to try and make myself feel better because some of my posts aren't reaching an epic word count.&nbsp; Personally, I'm pretty happy with most of my posts, and am able to describe plenty and advance the plot in about four to six paragraphs.&nbsp; If I want to spend an hour reading about what an outfit looks like to the last stitch, or reading about every single feature of a character's face down to the last blemish, then I'll go read Tolkien or something and let him take three pages describing a blade of grass to me.&nbsp; It's fluff, and serves no other purpose than flexing peoples' writing muscles, or waving their paper penises around to show off how big they are, and personally, it just gets tedious.<br><br>Once in a while, sure, but every post?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Eventually people get bored with it and disappear.&nbsp; Anyone notice a couple of people have been very lax in posting lately?&nbsp; I'm one of them, but for different reasons, but is it really a coincidence that there are two or three others we're seeing nothing from at the moment?&nbsp; I don't think so.&nbsp; Maybe if we drop the word count on these posts a bit, say what needs to be said, add in a bit of fluff to beautify it a little, but stop being so melodramatic and going so ridiculously overboard, then we'd see a bit more activity from these people because they'd feel a bit less intimidated as if this is some competition of who can make the longest posts.&nbsp; Me, I'm not intimidated.&nbsp; I just find it annoying and tiring.&nbsp; Like I said, group games have a different dynamic, and the first thing that will kill that dynamic is constantly making people wade through an insanely long sea of words.<br><br>So, now, I'm here and wide open to antagonism from anyone who feels insulted by what I had to say, but I'm fairly certain I'm not the only player who feels this way.&nbsp; I'm just the only one who was willing to be the bad guy, and I'm fine with that.&nbsp; I'm the new guy and all, but I was also asked to join this game because of what I had to contribute as a writer as well as my views and opinions on what could help improve things, and I've been lax in that latter aspect until now.&nbsp; So have at it.&nbsp; Whether you agree or disagree, whether you tear me down or support me, that's my honest opinion on things.&nbsp; I enjoy the story, and all of the characters, and would love to see it continue and be a part of it, but I also understand I might have just made myself a pariah, and I can live with that if it comes down to it.&nbsp; I'll find other role-plays if I have to, and I'm sorry if I offend any of you, but I just felt this issue needed to be addressed and since nobody else seemed willing, I'll be the villain.<br><br>So there it is.&nbsp; Love me or hate me, this is the Scotty that Mike asked for and is notorious for being willing to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done, whether it opens eyes or damages egos.&nbsp; I imagine there will be a bit of both.<br><br>Feel free to comment, of course.&nbsp; I've said my piece, and now back to our regularly scheduled programming.<br><br>(On a side note, Cassie, you did a wonderful job with your portrayal of Griff, and I look forward to your contribution to things around here, even when you step out of his skin.)

				I have a feeling that I am one of the individuals who that post is being directed towards.&nbsp; At a quick skim through the IC, on average it seems that my post lengths seem to be around par for what everybody else is submitting.&nbsp; Perhaps a paragraph or two above par as a result of the occasional post having extra.&nbsp; Really, the only thing that stood out as being noticeably long was where Vincent fought in the alley.&nbsp; I could see how that post would be a little off putting because of its sheer volume of text, but there was no way I would have been satisfied by summing the conflict in three or four paragraphs.&nbsp; It may not have been a key post to push the plot forward, but it was an excellent opportunity to flush out Vincent's personality while bringing some depth and insight to his character.<br><br>I feel a little offended the way you imply that the reason behind my lengthy posts is to inflate my ego.&nbsp; The entire reason I RP in the first place is because I have fun doing it and I especially love the opportunity to develop my character.&nbsp; In my mind character development is just as important as plot, because without either the overall story just seems bland.&nbsp; Yes, I suppose I include a little more detail than necessary, but I wouldn't lump it in with the minute details of the surrounding that will ultimately be overlooked.&nbsp; Typically my extra details pertain to the five senses, which in my opinion helps bring the reader into the story.&nbsp; Sure, that may not be the case for everybody, but that is just how I like to write.&nbsp; I don't concern myself with post length, I simply let my muse do its thing and post whatever it comes up with regardless of how long or short it is.<br><br>That said, I can be willing to compromise.&nbsp; Here's how I'll address your concerns.&nbsp; I will have a lot of trouble being content with my submissions if I omit stuff as I write; a lot of the time ideas flow into one another and interrupting that would make it a pain for me to write since that is the quickest way to for me to develop a case of writer's block.&nbsp; So, I will write my posts as normal and place it in a spoiler tag.&nbsp; Then I will make a copy of that post and take a meat cleaver to it, cutting out anything that doesn't directly push the plot along.&nbsp; That way I can still write to my personal standards and it is still there for people who are interested in reading it while making the Cliffs Notes version be in the open so it isn't as much of a chore to read for those who share your viewpoint.<br><br>Fair enough?

				Okay, first of all I'd like to say that on behalf of Corvus and myself we do appreciate player input and opinions from everyone.&nbsp; Since he is at work I'm posting the response, but we have discussed it at length and this reflects the way we both feel.<br><br>The issue at hand is post length and we see it this way:&nbsp; <br><br>If you are <em>straining</em> to make your post long enough (for whatever reason) it's too long.&nbsp; Posting should not be a burden, it should not be intimidating, it should not be stressful, it should be FUN!&nbsp; We're all here to enjoy ourselves in a creative manner and that means it's going to be a little bit different for everyone.<br><br>In that same fashion, if you feel as though writing a shorter post is going to stifle your creativity DO NOT stifle yourself.&nbsp; For some people writing in great detail works best for them, and that's okay.&nbsp; For me personally I vary depending on what I'm writing and what's going on, even within the same RP.&nbsp; <br><br>I think we're all aware that skimming posts happens when it's not a post that directly relates to your character.&nbsp; Loki, both Corvus and I like your suggestion and very much appreciate it!&nbsp; If anyone would like to do what Loki is suggesting feel free.&nbsp; If you would rather not that's fine, and if anyone has issues with the length you CAN skim for important points when you read.<br><br>We aren't going to censor any of you one way or another, no minimums or maximums.&nbsp; What we ask is that you give quality posts, however long that is in each given instance.&nbsp; And we ask that you just enjoy yourselves!&nbsp; Please, no one feel intimidated by post length, or like what you're writing isn't good enough.&nbsp; Each and every post is important to our story no matter how long or short!&nbsp; If anyone ever needs help with a post they can feel free to run it past me or Corvus and we will be glad to assist you in any way we can.&nbsp; That's what we're here for! ^_^<br><br>Now, if there are any issues, upset, or hurt feelings about what has been said thus far in the OOC we ask that you PM us about it rather than venting it here.&nbsp; I don't think it's anyones intention to offend or start a fight, but it's certainly understandable to have feelings on the matter one way or another.&nbsp; As your GM's we want to sort it out for you so that we can keep this game that we all love running smoothly.&nbsp; And in the future, we also ask that if you are having a problem or concern please talk to us about it first so we can discuss the best way to handle it for the group.&nbsp; Again, we don't want to censor anyone, but that's what we're here for.&nbsp; The doors to our PM boxes are always open!

				Okay, I think my tendency to be blunt comes off as being brutal at times, and it often seems like I'm calling someone out when I'm not.&nbsp; Loki, I wasn't aiming that at anyone in particular, and the truth is you are a very talented writer.&nbsp; The heart of the matter that I wanted to get across is that I've tried several group games before, and had stayed away from them for a long time after the last one I joined fell apart.&nbsp; One of the major reasons it fell apart was an overabundance of extremely long, tedious posts to read.&nbsp; People get bored with wading through a seemingly endless sea of text to get to the point when there are ten or so players to consider, and the majority have a tendency to ramble on forever.<br><br>In a one on one game it doesn't really cause problems, because it's a constant back and forth between those two people only.&nbsp; In a group game, though, it's the quickest way to have the story become stagnant and chase people away, because rather than having to read one post at a time, like you do in a one on one, we often have to come back to read through several posts at a time.&nbsp; Not so bad, except when it's several posts that are extremely long and rambling.&nbsp; As you said, I have a tendency to get carried away myself, and then I read through my posts and ask myself if certain details are needed, and if I think the story can do without them, I crop them so I don't ramble too much, but instead try to keep it to the heart of the matter.<br><br>Again, my comments aren't directed at anyone in particular, nor are they meant to antagonize anyone.&nbsp; I made an observation.&nbsp; I can't help but notice how some players aren't really able to do much because they just get left behind, or are waiting for someone to reach some sort of point where they can be active participants, and with so many mega-posts floating around there, I'm kind of disappointed that it seems to take so long to reach a point or to achieve some sort of resolution to a scene so we can move on to the next.&nbsp; And Cassie, even though you tell people not to feel intimidated, they are going to be anyway, or just frustrated from wading through miles of text just to make sure they don't miss any valid plot points.<br><br>As wonderful as skimming is, it doesn't always help, because there is a chance that you'll miss an important detail that should have been noticed.&nbsp; I did it, and I think grdell did as well, and we both did it on the same post because it was quite long and tedious.&nbsp; However, it doesn't mean the post was made to boost anyone's ego.&nbsp; I probably should have clarified that.&nbsp; Many writers do that, and it often comes off that way when someone does it, even if it's not what fuels their writing.<br><br>Everyone in this game that I've seen (not counting myself as I prefer not to judge my own writing, but let others do so) is an excellent writer.&nbsp; Outstanding even, with beautifully detailed posts and very imaginative styles.&nbsp; Everyone.&nbsp; I understand that at times a person's muse just won't shut up and he or she ends up getting lost in the post.&nbsp; What I'm saying, though, is in a group game, where instead of a back and forth between two players, you have nine other writers who are slipping posts in constantly so that when people come back to read, rather than one long post, they have five or six, it gets to be a chore for people to work their way through all that text to try and make sure they don't miss anything important.<br><br>And of course, sometimes we get a lot of back and forth posting between a couple of players as well that adds to the count, making more posts for those people to come back and have to read through, which is fine, but when you find yourself having to read one incredibly long (no matter how well written) post after another to stay on top of things, you start to find your interest waning a bit.&nbsp; Maybe not everyone experiences that, but many do, and it's a surefire way to kill a group game quickly.&nbsp; I've heard it's been commented on that the game is growing a bit stagnant, and perhaps all of the mega-posting is contributing to that.&nbsp; There's nothing wrong with being creative and wanting to express yourself as much as possible, but when you have so many others to consider, sometimes it's better to keep a measure of restraint on your muse, even when it wants to simply run wild.<br><br>That's my biggest point, is that in a group game there are far more elements and other players to consider than just one partner, and sometimes you just have to rein it in a bit.&nbsp; If stating that opinion made me a pariah here, then so be it.&nbsp; I'll live, and you'll find a replacement for me if I feel unwelcome enough to leave.&nbsp; I'd enjoy being able to stay without feeling tensions just because I stated an opinion, but some people take offense easier than others.&nbsp; I've personally always been of the mindset of "I shouldn't dish it if I can't take it" so I don't easily become offended by a person's opinion of me.&nbsp; You could tell me my writing stinks, that my posts are too short and uninteresting, and I'd simply shrug and tell you that you're entitled to your opinion.&nbsp; Others seem to like my writing well enough, so one person's opinion isn't going to shatter my confidence.<br><br>So, now that I've rambled on about it some more, I'll just leave on this note.&nbsp; I wasn't calling anyone out, and I wasn't attacking anyone.&nbsp; I didn't direct my comments to anyone in particular in the original post, and if anyone took it as a personal attack, then that's their fault for assuming as much when I made it clear that I had no such intention, but it's nice to know we have mind readers as well as writers around here.&nbsp; I mean, after all, sometimes I need someone to tell me what I'm thinking because I just can't figure it out for myself.<br><br>Anyway, so I don't go on a sarcastic tangent about how people apparently know my motives better than I do, I'm just going to shut up now.&nbsp; I apologize for any feelings that were hurt, but I will not apologize for having an opinion and trying to share it.&nbsp; Perhaps I could have been more constructive in my criticism, and I'm more than willing to own up to that.&nbsp; I like this game and don't want to see it fall into the 'failed role-plays' category on my list, so I thought I'd offer up some advice based on my observation.&nbsp; Take it how you will.

				Okay. The point has been made, a possible solution has been put forth, and a request has been made by Cassiopeia, CO GM, not to further vent any frustrations here. Please honor that request. <br><br><strong>**EDIT**</strong> <span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><em>If you have an opinion or comment that is constructive, insightful, or in anyway helpful, please feel free to post. I DO want to hear from everyone who has something to offer. I DON'T want tensions to mount and be fueled by frustrations voiced here. I'm not trying to stifle anyone's creativity or opinions. I would just like to keep things on point, and everyone striving towards a common goal.</em></span><br><br>Yes, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but please if you have any other comments on this matter aside from being constructive, please PM me and Cassi and whoever else you feel may need to read what you have to say. I would like to think that if there are any hurt feelings or ruffled feathers over what's been said that we are all adults enough to handle things in a civil manner. I would say more but I'm at work and can't stay on here long. Thank you ALL for your contributions to the game. I will discuss this more at a later time, when I can give it the time and attention it warrants.<br><br>Corvus

				I wouldn't say any posts are consistently overlong. Could they be shorter? Sure. Do they need to be? Not really. It might seem like certain posters are running longer than others, but I suspect it's due to post frequency rather than individual post length. You see the same few names back to back and they start to seem like they're stretching out.<br><br>Some of the other posters haven't been active as often for various reasons in RL happenings they've mentioned. Others, I suspect, simply don't feel they have as much to do, or perhaps don't need to do as much. In group roleplays you often end up with these splinters where two or three people sorta break off and get really involved with each other for a while, and that naturally leads to a lot of active posing since they're not waiting on the whole group's input to move on - they only have to wait for each other. The result is what looks like a small group of people dominating a larger group story, which is only accurate some of the time.<br><br>As for me? I don't post all that frequently because I'm pretty laid back and play a character who isn't overly talkative or, at the moment, very active. It doesn't take a lot of posting to update on carrying flowers around. ;p When Si needs to do more, I expect I'll be posting more often to suit the need. These things aren't always balanced.

				First things first ... Congratulations Loves.&nbsp; Wonderfully exciting news indeed ... and I'm not talking about hockey, unless that word has another meaning I'm not familiar with.<br><br>I apologize to everyone for not being around much.&nbsp; I believe I mentioned having to go out of town because of a death in the family (not immediate family) and helping to take care of some things relating to that.&nbsp; I've been back on the forum numerous times with the intention of posting something, only to have my mind go blank.&nbsp; This doesn't mean I'm not interested in playing or that I don't like how things are going, just that I'm one of those people who sometimes manages to keep his mouth shut when he has nothing significant to contribute, and I guess this carries over into the roleplay as well.<br><br>Without trying to start up any "long post vs. short post" controversy, I see my guy as just playing a supporting role at this point, so my posts will probably be short unless I'm struck by some inspiration ... maybe I'll have him drink a bit too much and have him give a speech about freedom and the Alliance?&nbsp; I had no intention of playing this guy like Jayne Cobb in the beginning, but I feel like I'm drifting more and more in that direction.&nbsp; Need somebody shot or roughed up? give me a call.<br><br>Anyway, as I type this, my real life attention is required elsewhere, so I will try to be back this afternoon/evening to post something.. meanwhile, you're free to assume Steve is there, trying to stay in the background and keep his eyes and ears open for trouble, and do anything you want with him so long as you don't let Si whore him out to anyone (excepting attractive females .. <em>human</em> females.)

				@grdell, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a rough time, and wish you the best in your endeavors.&nbsp; By all means, do what you need to do to get yourself in a good place once more.&nbsp; Like Mike said, this is a game, and your well being comes far ahead of it.<br><br>As for me, I've just been a bit under the weather and having trouble keeping focus for a few days here, and I apologize to you all for that.&nbsp; I'll be trying to get Anwar moving by the weekend so we can kick this into gear and try to keep to Mike's scheduled goal.&nbsp; I'm also sorry if I have come off as a bit harsh and judgmental, and I don't want to stem anyone's creativity really.&nbsp; Everyone in this game is very talented as a writer, and I'd hate to think that my inability to filter my thoughts in a way to be constructive at times would cause anyone to give it less than their best.&nbsp; I shall be using Mike and Cass as my filters from now on since I seem to lack them myself.&nbsp; I just want to try to keep this game flowing and moving along smoothly, and was a bit more harsh than I needed to be when expressing that concern, so I do apologize for any offense taken.<br><br>On that note, I'm working on getting better and trying to kick my muse into gear, so hopefully it'll happen soon.<br><br>By the way, Loves.&nbsp; Congratulations dear.&nbsp; I have no doubt you're heading into the happiest time of your life, and hope it's all you could ever wish for and more.&nbsp; ^_^

				As far as I am concerned, real life ALWAYS takes precedence, no matter how much we may prefer and enjoy our time aboard the Gamble. To anyone (and all) who is experiencing physical, emotional or mental distress - I most heartily wish you a speedy and safe recovery. No one in this group has been, nor do I anticipate their becoming, a disappointment - so no more of that 'letting the team down' crap. We are all awesome! This goes for our players that have already had to bow out for a time, however long.

I Know I said I wanted to be done with the pub scene last weekend, but... better late than never? :P Anyway, I wanted to go ahead and wrap it up so if anyone else wanted to post int he pub scene feel free to post it and follow it up with their arrival back on-board the ship. I've kept the game on Persephone long enough. Hopefully this will make it more fun for everyone involved.<br><br>Have a good night and rest of the week y'all.

				This is just a general reminder from your friendly neighborhood GM ... if you are going to act in a way that affects another player (or multiple players) in your post, and it is written in such a way that they cannot respond to it before said action(s) are carried out, <strong>PM them first so they can give you their okay</strong>, or at the very least they'll have a heads up.&nbsp; <br><br>Preferably posts will not be written in such a way as to exclude or assume another player's reaction/actions, but if you feel it's absolutely necessary, make sure it's agreed upon by all parties involved before you post.

Since I seem to be pushing him into something of a Morale Officer role I figure he'd take a minute or two to make sure Dani's not too stressed out by all the commotion, check in on Mae's state of mind post-head trauma and so forth.

				Thanks Cassi for taking care of things around here while I'm busy. Working nearly 60 hours a week on top of everything else I have to do afterwards doesn't leave me much time to unwind and get in that writing frame of mind like I normally have to do before I can really write. So I apologize for not being more hands-on with the GM duties and I apologize to everyone if my posts seem to be a little lack-luster lately.<br><br>On a different note, I was talking with Cassi earlier tonight about one of the things I dislike about group games is that it doesn't lend itself well to the quick witted, back and forth, returning fire, one liners and comebacks that we all loved so much in Firefly and Serenity. i.e....<br><br><strong>Jayne:</strong> Don't much see the benefit in gettin' involved in stranger's troubles without a up-front price negotiated. <br><br><strong>Shepherd Book:</strong> These people need assistance. The benefit wouldn't necessarily be for you. <br><br><strong>Jayne:</strong> That's what I'm sayin'. <br><br><strong>Zoë:</strong> No one's gonna force you to go, Jayne. As has been stated, this job is strickly speculative. <br><br><strong>Jayne:</strong> Good. Don't know these folks, don't much care to.<br><br><strong>Mal:</strong> They're whores. <br><br><strong>Jayne:</strong> I'm in.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>OR</strong></span></div><br><strong>Kaylee:</strong> Everyone's got somebody. Wash, tell me I'm pretty.<br><br><strong>Wash:</strong> Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion. <br><br><strong>Kaylee:</strong> 'Cause I'm pretty? <br><br><strong>Wash:</strong> 'Cause you're pretty.<br><br>So, I think it would be cool if we could fit that type of stuff in somehow. Maybe to some quick back and forth one modest sized paragraph a piece with someone. I might give it a try and see how it works out.<br><br>That's all for me for now. It's past my bed time ... sheesh. Work Work Work... two months ago I couldn't find work, now it's all I do. lol. Okay, see y'all around. Happy writing!&nbsp; ;D

				You'll have to look to Anwar or the captain for that, I think. If Si were the first to come upon the stowaway I imagine lending her a long coat and some coffee (or its equivalent) would be the order of the day. Interrogating a pantsless young lady is inappropriate on a variety of levels.

				Love established or not, it wouldn't be the first time someone had told Mae that they loved her and then tossed her aside like an old newspaper. After all, if her own parents disowned her after a few reckless incidents, I don't see how a young girl could compete with that. <br><br>There could be a lot of loud angry teenage music coming from her room and who knows what else might be in store. <br>

				A gentleman does not dismiss company for a prolonged period overtly, Miss Dearing. "A moment" may not be accurate for the period of time he will be outside, but it sounds better than "get out." Now, if you would be so kind as to resume your previous disrobing...?

				Just so everyone knows, I am not designing where my character goes/is for the specific purpose of being caught. She will automatically attempt to avoid detection while the whole point to her being on the ship is to eventually be discovered. If your new engineer doesn't get back to be involved IC soon, I suppose someone else checking on the engines can find her? Or she has to make an emergency adjustment to something, saving the ship just in time, hiding when the Cap comes back to say thanks... or whatever.<br><br>Who wants to find her?

				I think it's reasonable for Si to do a quick circuit of the ship after he and Sasha finish their time together in her quarters. Presumably the Captain has already looked around for possible threats that followed Vincent back to The Gamble, but better safe than sorry when it comes to hidden saboteurs and the like. It's possible he could stumble onto her if our substitute engineer isn't back by then.

I definitely never want to confine any writer's character to be stuck with mine, with them waiting on me to post so they can move on...in a 1x1 game it's one thing, but in a group game where there are other writers/characters to be playing with ~ I just feel bad! :P&nbsp; &nbsp;So Shjade, since I'll likely be tied up for days, please feel free to have Si depart without an exchange with Sasha so he has the opportunity to patrol the ship and possibly encounter a most intriguing...discovery!&nbsp; (I know Vincent &amp; Mae will <em>somehow</em> keep themselves busy, lol.)&nbsp; &nbsp;;D<br>

Yay!&nbsp; &nbsp;;D<br><br>Shjade, if I don't get to post before the GM's jump us into our adventure, I'll send my reply post (after I write it, hehe) to your PM box instead, k?&nbsp; :-)<br><br>*hugs all around*

				I just want to apologize to everyone for the lull in the game. Work has been taking a lot out of me. Today there were 5 people who didn't show up... and we only have about 10 in the whole company. One of the was the guy who is training me... and he might not be coming back. I had to do my work and his work today so... I'm a bit brain dead. I will try my best to start the next "chapter" this weekend... so if anyone wants to write some more on your current scenes, please feel free until further notice, probably this weekend.

				No worries here, Corvus! The game's speed had dovetailed perfectly with my own crazy-busyness. I would love to think that you got paid for both your own work AND the other guy's work you also did...but somehow I bet your boss is like mine and...not so much, hehe.&nbsp; *hugs*

				Mmmm.... Christmas hams... err... I mean... women's fishnetted legs ;D<br><br>Okay, work is really kicking my ass right now. I had every intention of writing a post tonight putting the crew of The Gamble planet side on Bellerephon but my brain was too frazzled to attempt a post. Tomorrow is going to be worse as I already know I will have double the work-load waiting on me... I hope I make it back home with the last remnants of my sanity intact tomorrow. If either of our two pilot/writers would like to write us setting down on Bellerephon or if our co-GM feels so inclined as to start us off setting down on Bellerephon, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I might be able to manage a sane response.

				I should be able to write late tomorrow evening, and hoping my muse is with me and I'm not feeling like total crap by then.&nbsp; But I do have a few questions/things to run past you before that, so I'm not sure if it will happen as fast as I'm hoping.&nbsp; If not it will unfortunately have to wait until Friday night.

				Too bad guys can't wear one of those pocket crochet snatches discreetly like girls can wear their little secret, wearable vibrators.

				Hello everyone. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, unfortunately I've fallen on some increasingly difficult financial hardships and it seems unavoidable that my internet connection will be disconnected in the next few days. I apologize for the current state of this game. Hopefully Cassi and Aether will be squared away in the near future and she will be willing/able to take up the mantle and carry the game forward. I'm uncertain as to how long I will be away, but with the way things look at present, it's going to be for quite some time. I wish you all the best of luck and I hope for a speedy return.<br><br>Regretfully,<br>Michael Corvus.

				Sometimes, real life sux. I am so sorry, Corvus. Get back to us whenever you can (and can afford to). We'll miss you and those of us that can keep our attention and characters patiently waiting for your return will do so with bated breath.<br><br>What's up with the bating of breath anyway? Since bated is the shortened form of the word 'abated', does that mean that we're all engaged in breath play while you are away? Imagine that... a half dozen fans/readers/writers all holding their breath until you get back... or pass out and start breathing from the involuntary need while their faces return to their natural colors slowly.<br><br>HUG

				It is not dead. There's no apathy. However if anyone has lost interest and/or wishes to leave then that's fine. Just let me know either by posting your departure here or send a PM to myself and Cassie. I know that Cassie's not around right now, but she'll be back once she gets moved and all settled in and stuff. I'm still here for the time being, which is surprising, but Loves, Myself and Shjade were the last three to post, in that order, and no one else has posted. Besides, I kinda need Cassie for the scene we are currently in... she's playing several of the other crew and we have some things planned out, she just suddenly and unexpectedly had some things come up which neccesitated a swift relocation.<br><br>I will be continuing the story (when I return from internet banishment) even if it's just me and one or two others, so long as someone is interested.

				Alright gang. Here's the deal. I was trying to wait for Cassi to get back before proceeding but I've not heard from her or Aether so I'm not sure if they'll be back on in two days or two months. I just don't know what's going on. We had a few things planned that are a bit of a surprise and Cassi was to be an integral part in that. She was also to help me in writing all the other crew members of the other ship.... which means without her here to help, it all falls to me.<br><br>If anyone would like to continue this story, please go ahead and post if you haven't already posted after the landing. I think Myself(Griff), Loves(Mae) and Shjade(Si) have posted since the landing. If we can go ahead and get our crew onto the planet's surface, I'll do my best to write the other side of the story and get things moving again.<br><br>If you've lost interest or just can't continue for whatever reason, please let me know, either here or via a PM. I'll understand if you'd prefer not to continue, no hard feelings. Scotty (Anwar) is already out since I've been unsuccessful in getting a response from him in the past couple of months.<br><br>Well, that's it gang. Time to roll the dice, take a <em>Gamble</em> and let the chips fall where they may.

				I understand, Shjade. No worries. Thank you for letting me know rather than just disappearing and leaving me in the dark about it.<br><br>To be fair though, the only ones who have gone "poof" have been PearlRuby and Scotty Rage.&nbsp; NiceTexasGuy and grdell both let me know they were leaving the game. Cassi told me she would be back and I have no doubt that she will. She was excited about the game and were it's headed when last I spoke with her, and was looking forward to the events about to take place. I just worry that she and Aether have met with unfortunate and unavoidable circumstances which have prolonged their return to Elliquiy.

If Cassi were here, you'd stick. But in the meantime I am going to try to get things going again. Hypothetically speaking, if Cass doesn't show up for another month or so, do you think you'll be continuing in the story with those of us who press on and post with Dani in the meantime? There's no pressure one way or the other.&nbsp; :-) Do what you feel comfortable with, I'd just like to know what/who I'm going to have to work with so I can try to form some kind of a plan, however tentative it may be.

				Hey Gang ~ I’m afraid I’m going to have to bow out of the reboot of the game.&nbsp; I had a ton of fun while it was going, and I hope those of you remaining have a blast with the restart!&nbsp; You all are fantastic writers and I very much enjoyed our game and hope to see you around E!<br><br>*big hugs*<br><br><br>p.s. - To Shjade’s point, especially with half a crew atm, perhaps it might be easier on the GM and make more sense for the game if those remaining players started in on a brand new chapter for the reboot?&nbsp; That way Cherish could finally be discovered like Loves suggested, and the characters still in the game could have a storyline that makes sense for the current crew.&nbsp; A “reflecting back” few sentences could be used to explain the change in personnel; such as Griff thinking about how Sasha, Si, Anwar (and maybe Dani) had felt compelled to respond to some dire rescue request on the planet the Gamble just landed on, with Griff and the pilots having to finish the job at hand and then I suppose take on new crew after the job is completed.&nbsp; Unless of course you don’t want to leave a possible opening for our characters to maybe return sometime in the future; then I guess with you as the GM you have the power to simply kill us off, LOL.&nbsp; Anyway, just a thought... *blows kisses*<br>

				Alright guys, here's where we stand.<br><br>We're losing our first officer, doctor/cook, and hired gun/muscle. We have already lost two mechanics, a hired gun, and a companion. <br>That leaves us with:<br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Captain/owner (Griff)</li><li>Pilot (Mae)</li><li>Co-Pilot (Vince)</li><li>Stow-away (Cherish)</li></ul>We've lost a total of seven players since the game started and we currently have four. Not very encouraging...<br><br>Unknown is our other GM who was planning on bringing in a character, as well as her SO who was possibly going to be joining us as well. Also, Loves is talking to a friend who may be joining us, but I'm not sure what role she'll be wanting to fill yet. <br><br>So, we have four, possibly 5 to work with as of right now...<br><br>We've just started a new chapter before Christmas break, which lasted longer than we planned, and are right in the stink of things that was sure to make for some interesting role play, but with so nearly half of our existing players bailing, it's going to be damn near impossible to play out the scene as it now stands. We could just scrub this scene we are currently in, skip ahead to the future a little bit, and I can write up the next post as Griff waking up from a bad dream, remembering the events that we are currently play out, how things went bad and how those characters no longer continuing with us parted ways. The only thing about this idea, is that Cherish was going to make her appearance during the scene that we are currently playing, so if we skip ahead, she misses the opportunity to play out her discovery. And to be honest, to have her remain hidden aboard the ship beyond this present scene is just a little fart fetched. I think I can speak for Cherish and I both when I say that we would like to role play her discovery and integration into the ships personnel.<br><br>What are y'alls thoughts on all of this. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to proceed without skipping discovery of Cherish?

				I may be getting uninvolved with this thread, but I do have a structural suggestion for that little problem.<br><br>You're somewhat delayed in moving forward while you wait to see who is/isn't joining you next, yes? In that interim period while you wait to see if Loves' 5th body is showing up, and further waiting if you still plan to hold for the co-GM and her SO to join or confirm not joining, you could use your current core cast to play out Cherish's discovery with whomever that's going to involve (I'm guessing a minimum of Griff +1?).<br><br>To avoid the possible conflict of combining that discovery with the ongoing scene involving characters/players who aren't really interested in carrying on, you can just focus on that discovery of Cherish and, when that scene reaches its climax and would naturally progress back into the rest of the scene on the planet, <em>that</em> is where you cut to it having been Griff flashing back/dreaming about recent events.<br><br>This way Cherish gets to have her discovery scene and you can pass right over everything else that was happening at the time to skip ahead and get up to speed on "current" events.

				Thanks for your encouraging words, Chaneko. That really helps me a lot right now.<br><br>For anyone interested, the original plan was to have the Shayu's crew, or at least some of them, hijack The Gamble with Mae, Dani, Sasha and Chaneko on board with the intention of selling the women off to slavers and either scraping the ship for parts/ credits or selling it to someone.<br><br>The rest of the crew was going to be stranded on Bellerephon with a busted ship and Anwar working feverishly to try and rig some fix to get the ship space bound again. Buuut.... as we all know, that plan went to hell in a hand-basket, as plans often tend to do.<br><br>I have a couple of new writers who want to join us at next port of call, but I really need a couple of male characters, otherwise there's going to be a whole lot of taco on the ship with only Griff to satisfy their needs (cause Vince and Mae are the happy little love birds and she's certainly not into sharing.) Okay, so not a whole lot of taco... 3 so far. But you catch my drift.

				Griff post is up - working on Dimitri post now. And ... I just wanted to say that, seeing how this is Elliquiy, an adult oriented role playing sight, and, seeing as how this game is in the Extreme Small Groups section.... everyone please feel free to post whatever you think you characters would do here without fear of offending anyone. We're all adults here, and we all know the nature of this site. If reading smut bothers you then... you should probably find somewhere else to role play. So long as the game is not dominated or derailed/sidetracked with sex and we can keep the story progressing (however slowly, thanks to yours truly&nbsp; ::) ) then it's all good.<br><br>I know that Loves and Loki have a scene going between Mae and Vince in a different thread, as do Loves and I in a flashback of the first meeting between Griff and Mae, which is perfectly fine. If you just WANT to create a private thread to play out a scene, then that's perfectly fine... and certainly up to you. I just don't want anyone to feel like they HAVE to create separate, private threads to play out smutty scenes in order to spare others from being offended. That shouldn't happen at a place like E in a thread like this one. <br><br>Thank you, come again... and again, and again, and again... etc. etc. etc.&nbsp; ;D XD

				Vincent eagerly situates himself to make more room for Mae to operate his controls while he flies the ship.&nbsp; Even though his eyes remains focused on Mae's mischievous green eyes, it is the captain he is replying to. Mostly. "Please, I've done hundreds of simulations preparing me for this test. Granted they all took place in my head, but I've earned more than enough training hours to be licensed. At any rate, I get the impression it isn't my skills that you're going to be evaluating."

				I'm going to need a little bit of help. Mae had "moved past the state rooms, dragging her fingers along the wall." Which direction? From the infirmary, I assumed she would go forward toward the bridge or her own room. In Dimitri's post, he seems to have her "walking towards the room where he'd watched them haul his crew mates." Perhaps Mae is just emotionally distracted and wanting to distance herself physically from all that just happened... or she was just moving across the hall to wash up in the lavatory and got surprised in the hall before the long corridor of staterooms?<br><br>Griff had just climbed a ladder to approach his room (right next to the bridge) so Cherish will have either skeddadled the opposite direction toward the starboard side or run back downstairs into the cargo hold when things were moving so noisily, following up on Demitri's movements near the infirmary. I have the impression from the interior layout that you cannot see into the infirmary but through the two doors - however, in the Firefly you can watch things happening from the observation windows... do we have those aboard the Gamble? That way, Demitri certainly could have "watched as Mae lingered in the infirmary for a bit".<br><br>Thanks for the clarifications and extra discussion.

				Loves stated that "Mae seemed to be lost in her thoughts" so she's not really paying attention to where she's going, thinking about how life throws curve balls and such and wondering "what other surprises were in store."&nbsp; &gt;:)<br><br>She's probably moved past the washer and dry and a state room or two. You are correct, though, in that Dimitri couldn't have seen her move into that corridor unless he'd moved very close to the door to peer inside the window, however he did take a special interest in her and he did see her as she came back from the flight deck to help with Si. It's possible that she moved out of the Infirmary as the others made their way towards the shuttle- "Mae backed out of the way, leaving leaving the others to finish the journey to the shuttle without her." - watching them go up to the next level before slipping back inside the infirmary and "...tidying up as best as she could, trying hard not to look at the blood stained bandages and gauze." I don't think this ship has the observation windows in question, but those would only allow someone to look outside the ship anyway, at least in the way I understood on firefly.<br><br>Griff , upon descending the shuttle ladder, would be on the upper deck standing basically between Sasha's room and the Operations room. He would most likely move to the port side of the ship, passing by Si's room and the stairs marked as 1U before turning left to approach his room. Cherish was hiding near in the workout area, yes? Let's assume that Dimitri was hiding near the raised platform level on the starboard side of the ship, opposite of Cherish near the stairs marked 4L. When Griff passed by, Cherish could have simply moved down to the floor level, and hid beneath the stairs marked as 3L. Then she could have noticed as Dimitri made his move towards the infirmary, which he would have had to pass through to get to Mae. Cherish, having been a stowaway for&nbsp; some time now, knows that there's the port side entrance to that corridor as well and moved to there to find Dimitri being nasty to Mae, though I think Mae have a little something for Mr. foul mouth herself. We shall see. ;)<br><br>I hope this clears any confusion?

				Loves, did you want to have Mae respond to Dimitri's ambush at all before I post as Cherish? I imagine her having at the very least some shock and rage if not outright fear on her face, much less the colorful verbal answer both Corvus and I have come to expect of her considering Dimitri is giving her a chance to whisper if she wanted to. I've no idea if I can respond tonight or not so feel free to take this opportunity to make a short post for yourself if you want and I will check it when I can. If you have posted, then I will respond. If you have NOT posted, I can wait until tomorrow morning in case you need more time - then I can post with the assumption that Cherish can see Mae's face from the side, green eyes wide and angry.<br><br>Cool?

				It's a good think she saved Mae's life, else Griff might want to actually&nbsp; HER out on the bow of the ship. ;)<br><br>Outstanding post, sweetie. It almost felt like I was there... and I could visualize her so perfectly once she entered the little room with Mae and Dimitri up until she dropped the extinguisher and backed into the bulkhead, trembling as she looked at Mae. As of right now, neither Griff nor Vince know what's going on. No one has pressed an intercom button anywhere to page anyone.... But what an interesting time it will be when Griff and Vince do finally arrive. Mae totally naked and the mysterious girl wearing only a too tight t-shirt that really shows off her boobs and a pair of boots... and not a thread of clothing in between. And Griff will be showing up wearing only a towel... as he is currently in the shower.... I should just make a rule. No clothes aloud on The Gamble. lol&nbsp; ::)<br><br>Of course, the fact that Mae was just assaulted and will most likely be slightly traumatized will definitely cut through any sexual tension between she and Griff (if any even still exists). <br><br>Now, once we deal with Mr. Happypants, we can shove off to .... I think it was Albion?? Lol I can't even remember where we're going now. &gt;.&lt;&nbsp; But once we get there, we'll be picking up our three new folks.... Yes.. THREE.&nbsp; ;D

				Loki. If you want to.. if you feel up to, you're welcome to post the ship coming into Albion and docking. Feel free to take creative license in describing the place if you would like. I trust you to do it justice. I think Vince would be the one to do it. I won't tell you how to write your character but I'm of the opinion that he would probably be very protective and be pampering Mae at this point after her attack, probably insisting that he do it and she rest or something along those lines.<br><br>Or, if you'd rather not, I can go ahead and write us as having docked already. I'll let you decide. Just let me know ASAP so I'll know what's going on. :)

LOL :P<br><br>Ahem... but, back to business...<br><br>For the new folks, I would just to say welcome to The Gamble. Very nice opening posts so far with one yet to come. I hope you all enjoy your time with us in the black.<br><br>Also, a reminder on the use of Mandarin Chinese: If you would be so kind as to provide a translation at the conclusion of your post, that would be MOST appreciated as none of here actually speak Mandarin Chinese... that I know of. So, for example when some one says <strong>"Ta ma de!"</strong> then at the end of your post just do this:<br><br><hr><br>Ta ma de! = Fuck!<br><br><br>Also, I really like the idea of posting a small image of our character's faces at the outset of the post, just like Loves and Hati have done in their posts. I would like to ask everyone to do the same in their posts from here on out. You can change the picture as often as you like, just try to keep it to a head-shot no larger than 250x250 pixels. On occasion it is acceptable to include a full body image if you want to show how your character is dressed, just try to keep the size reasonable so that it doesn't consume the post. You can make the picture larger if you post it below your post, so that people read what you've written and THEN see the large picture. Just don't make the picture so large that all we see is an eye and we have to scroll endlessly to see it all. In fact, don't make us scroll at all, please. :D Thanks guys and ladies.

That way you have some space between it and the text. Makes it easier to read and look less like the text is trying to fuse with the picture.<br><br>P.S.: You forgot to add a ] after the /img tag on the second and third example, MC. :)

LOL<br><br>A very entertaining post Loki, however... as much as I know the girls all love the picture you posted of Vince's chest (and I'm sure I'll catch some heat for this because of how sexy you are and the brain melting posts you write ;) Not MY brain... but theirs) the point of adding pictures to our posts was to remind everyone who's reading along what our character looks like... their face. <br><br>Hence:<br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=110003.msg6069852#msg6069852">Quote from: Michael Corvus on 30-03-2012, 19:02:13</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Also, I really like the idea of posting a small image of our character's <strong>faces</strong> at the outset of the post, just like Loves and Hati have done in their posts...</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>I'm not trying to make the game less fun or be a stick in the mud or anything, but if we all started posted pictures of our characters as chests, breasts, asses, thighs, and other yummy bits, while it would be fun to look at, it would defeat the purpose of adding the pictures to begin with.

				Haha, I anticipated that and uploaded both.&nbsp; Though I'm sure if you were to ask both Mae and Loves what Vincent looks like, they would give a description of his chest and abs.&nbsp; At least at the moment.&nbsp; Oh, and should Chan be upset that she missed out on the chest pic (given how much she liked your avi from awhile back), it's all on you.&nbsp; :P

				Yes, apologies for the confusion.

Just make a small announcement here to let the next person know that you're forfeiting your turn and to give them the green light to go ahead and post. :)

				Okay... First off, I want to apologize for being MIA. I've had some personal RL issues crop up that are demanding of my time. The unpleasantness of these issues have driven my muse into hiding. I will be working hard on putting up a post tonight (my first post anywhere in about a week), though I warn you now, the quality might be severely lacking as I am forcing a post to keep the game from stagnating. I will be glossing over the completion of the last job and the exchange of prisoners in order to get to prevent dragging that scene out too long and delaying our new players from joining us on the ship.<br><br>Secondly, please give a round of applause and warm welcome to Loves as our new interim CO-GM. She has sacrifi...err... I mean, volunteered her services to assist me in running the game; assistance which is sorely needed. I only have one condition to this arrangement, Loves. You are forbidden to disappear on me as my last two CO-GMs have done. So, with that being said, I present...<br><br><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 24pt;" class="bbc_size">Loves: CO-GM, Goddess Divine</span></strong></div><br>Sorry, she demanded the title to accept the position.&nbsp; ::)<br><br>And lastly, I would like to encourage everyone who wants to, please feel free to introduce any sub-plots and/or NPC characters with which to facilitate those sub plots. I only ask that you first run any ideas you have by Loves and myself for approval.<br><br><strong>EDIT NOTICE:</strong> I've also edited my previous post to have Griff and company take the Skiff with a sample of the cargo into town since I'm envisioning them landing, not at port like on Persephone, but in the desert, out of town a ways in order to not draw too much attention. It would seem very unlikely that they would walk that far in the desert, so they're taking the skiff. Apologies for any problems this may cause.

				Just clarifying so that no one gets their knickers in a twist. I am not stepping in to disarrange the normal posting order.

				Current is better, if you ask me. Hairstyle makes her look better. Aside from that... Well, it might be just me, but the second pic seems a little off. I think there's been some mediocre photoshopping around the model's chin and jaw area, because the colouring seems a little off in comparison with the rest of the photo (most notably when you look at her neck/throat just beneath it). <br><br>(I think my photography and photo manipulation classes college are starting to pay off lol)

				Okay. We've gotten off the previous posting order rotation so I'll post a new one. Just as a reminder, since Vince and Mae aren't with the rest of the group, they don't have to post in any order until we all meet up again.<br><br>The new rotation is as follows:<br><br>Loves - Mae<br>Myself - Griff<br>Hotaru - Hotaru<br>Hati - Kiran<br>Curvy - Kaela<br>Loki - Vince<br>Chaneko - Cherish aka "Small Fry"<br><br>Loves and/or myself may post other NPC characters at any time. This does not affect this rotation.<br><br>Again, if it's your turn and you have nothing further to post at the time (for example, if your character is waiting for certain events to take place or other characters to arrive before you feel you have anything worth posting other than having them look around or something really inconsequential) that's perfectly fine. Just make a small announcement here to let the next person know that you're forfeiting your turn and to give them the green light to go ahead and post. :)

				Well, depending on how far you've planned ahead and our current position in that plan, I'd suggest putting up a deadline for the frolicking, shipbound pair. Personally, I'd say, once the rest are making their way from the bar, or wherever in town they might be at that point, to the ship, the pair has to be done by or before [X] date, so the story can advance without hindrance. Of course, right now that isn't that much of an issue yet (right?).

				Ooookay. So, after discussing things with my lovely co-gm, here's what we've decided to do. :)<br><br>1.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Scene Deadline</strong></span><br>The deadline we're shooting for wrap up the present scenes and to get everyone back on the ship and on the same page is three weeks from yesterday. Soo, Monday, June 4, we plan to be off of Avalon and in the black on our way to our next adventure. Deadlines will become the norm in scenes from now on<br><br>2.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Post Rotation</strong></span><br>From now on in situations like this, we will have a modified rotation (which the rotation will constantly change based on the need of the game and progression of the story). The main story will observe the standard rotation rules while the side story will observe a once a day post rule. So, in our current situation, for example Loves and Loki can post once a day, regardless of everyone else's posting order. This allows them to move their scene forward while not cluttering the thread with mostly their scene. This will apply to all similar instances in the future.<br><br>3.) <span class="bbc_u"><strong>Post Rate/Deadline</strong></span><br>In order to keep the story from growing stagnate as it has in the past, once your turn to post comes up in the rotation, you will have 3 days&nbsp; (72 hours) from the time of the last person to put up your next post. If you would like to forfeit your turn, that's fine, just let us know in the OOC and then the next person can go ahead. If you've not posted within the deadline of your turn, you will be skipped, OR, if the scene demands some action from your character, they will be godmodded by myself or Loves. The godmods will be indicated by red fonts and will be vague in their details, i.e. "Griff followed the rest of his crew onto the ship just before the cargo doors were sealed shut." You will also be PMed to let you know exactly where your character is along with any actions they may have performed.

If I do go on this camping/hiking trip this weekend, I should be leaving Friday afternoon and be back Sunday evening.

				Do not take them lightly. Neither are apposed to take what they want.&nbsp; I know Keala can take care of herself, but these two would have the bruit strength to over power her easily. I'm not saying it wouldn't be without damage done onto them. I'm sure she would be able to get a good shot or two in. But think about this....these are not nice men. They don't fool around and there really isn't law around, not one that cares much for the rights of the females on that planet. <br><br>My guess would be that Keala would be smart enough to avoid crossing paths with them. Specially if she had something to hide from the Alliance. As you can see, Grant has it in with them pretty good.&nbsp;

He can probably tell she isn't a woman to be taken lightly but I doubt they care much. probably just see it as a challenge, but it is more he stayed out of her way she stayed out of his.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and concern. here's what I know so far... My EKG and chest x-ray's came back negative and my blood pressure is strong, so they're telling me I've got a good heart, though I need to see a specialist to be sure. My foot is on the fast track to recovery but my knee is still giving me lots of grief and I'm awaiting culture samples to see if there's an infection which will indicate whether or not there's an infection. If there's an infection, they're talking surgery. If not, then pain meds and, maybe once my kidney's are performing efficiently again, anti-inflammatories. Not sure when I'll be back but in the meantime. I'll be able to keep in touch via YIM, since I've borrowed my sister's laptop during my stay in the hospital. Thank you again for all for your well wishes. &lt;3 -hugs to all who want them-<br>

				*grabs a hug for herself*<br><br>Thank you for sharing this, Loves. I had no idea when he described how he was feeling on that day that it was so varied and serious. Thank you also for talking him into going to the ER in the first place. Better to know late about medical conditions than too late.<br><br>I am about to go out of town as of Wednesday. Back around Sunday (possibly earlier but I will be exhausted from the long drive in that case). I have no idea yet if I'm going to have internet hookup without paying exorbitant costs per day, so most likely I will not be available until Sunday. There's still Kiran and Kaela to post before Small Fry's turn but I'm certainly not in a hurry. I just don't want all of you getting concerned if they both post before or during my time away and I don't for a few days. Should they both get posted over tonight or tomorrow, I will endeavor to find a hookup and not slow everything down. Seeing as it is Monday, June 4th, and the bar brawl is just about to start, I don't imagine we are going to get off planet this week. (I could be wrong but assuming we are waiting for Griff/Corvus, let's assume next week, hm?)<br><br>I am so enjoying this whole story and all the wonderful, colorful characters in it!

				Nice post, Hati. One thing I'm a little confused about though. Kiran mentions the skiff and some of its specs, which is cool, but I'm unsure if you're referring to the ship as the skiff or not. The big ship, The Gamble, is the Dragonfly class mid-bulk transport ship. Skiffs, in this game's universe at least, are the smaller utility vehicles the crew uses to load cargo or ferry themselves from wherever they might make planet fall to the nearest town. Here is an example of the size of a skiff.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Skiffs</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center"><br><strong>This is the skiff used in Star Wars, of course.</strong><br>(http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/2/2f/Skiff_ST.jpg)<br><br><hr><br><strong>This is the "Mule" used by the Serentiy.</strong><br>(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/681/mulee.jpg)</div></div></div><br>If I am confused and made a mistake, I apologize.

				Posted!<br><br>And I have three critters in the house that are not human. Love them all though they each show their personalities through their insane habits: one cat knocks over every small wastepaper can he is able to reach - my theory is he thinks that they are his toy boxes, the other cat would hunt a Canada Goose if you let him outside long enough - the blighter throws up grassy bile if he gets to the yard but only when back inside, and the dog is better these days about the inappropriate things he chews on - perhaps because I've learned to keep him in snacky bone toys instead of offering library books that are ready to be returned on the steps near the door for my convenience.<br><br>Love my animals. *crazy muther blankety blanks*

				Hey everyone. Sorry for my absence here lately. My muse has just sorta skipped town on me. She pops back in unexpectedly from time to time with specific cravings, so I'm able to manage fleeting posts here and there, depending on what she's in the mood to play with. I'll try real hard to get a post up sometime today/tonight, but I can't guarantee anything.<br><br>Thanks, Loves, for holding down the fort, so to speak.

				Just received word today that Hotaru is experiencing computer problems is having difficulties posting. From what I understand she is taking her computer to be checked by professionals. In the meantime, we will skip her in the order of posting in order to proceed with the story. She can catch up when she returns. Loves and I will do our best to move her character forward in the story if needs be, as well as keeping her apprised of what's going on.<br><br>Mr. Hati. You are up to post, Sir. Knock 'em dead. ;)

				Why is it that I am having the most rotten luck lately.&nbsp; First my net and now my computer.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am on my kindle to give you guys an update.&nbsp; It is no good for posting very well though.&nbsp; I just took my computer to a place to get it fixed. Hopefully they will be able to fix it so I don't need to buy another laptop. Buying another one would take time.&nbsp; *sigh* wish me luck. I should know in a couple of days.

				Hello everyone. I'm terribly sorry for the long silence and absence in the game.<br><br>The truth is, I've been struggling with this for some time now and, well to be honest... I'm just not feeling the game anymore.<br><br>I've lost interest in it and no longer have any desire to write The Gamble.<br><br>I'm very sorry and I thank each of you for your time and contribution to the story.<br><br>I've spoken with Loves, who had agreed to help me in the absence of my Co-GM, and she has no desire to GM the game. <br><br>She is willing to continue posting for Mae should someone else be willing to step up and take the reigns as GM (you're welcome to do so and I will help make the transition as best as I can, but she's too busy to post for NPCs or to help GM in any way.<br><br>Once again, I'm very sorry.<br><br>Thank you all and good luck.<br><br>Maybe we'll cross pens, or keyboards as it were, again.<br><br>Regretfully,<br><br>~Michael Corvus
