				It was weird yes! Even weirder is that last time we did this we had all security staff and engineers, and not a single doctor or scientist while this time the lab coats are in the clear majority. I was very surprised to see that no-one picked security, its almost spooky.<br><br>Your first posts can be just a means to develop the character a little and can describe a pretty average working day or a snippet from it. Lets call it about mid-morning, around 10:30 so coffee break time.<br><br>Anyone who wishes to arrange to already be friends OOC may do so but everyone will already know everyone else at least a bit - name, job, age... basically what's on the character sheets but not stats and posessions.<br><br>Once each of you has introduced your characters Urban will do the first post that advances the story.

				Welcome WB.<br><br>I've added Writer's character, the reactor engineer Herb Swann, to the character and info/database thread.<br><br>I'm aware his char image isn't from an in-game shot but I thought it worked so well I allowed it. Note also that Dashenka's girl's image is a mod of the game so her face and hair are a little modern but for a radio station DJ I decided to be a bit flexible.

				Just to keep this rolling, players do not need to wait for the others to post before posting again. I'm not a fan of a strict cycle as long as players do not go romping off page-hogging with just, say, 2 people posting.<br><br>If you see an opportunity to have your character act or better still, see and speak with another player-character, please do so and shorter posts during teh action sequences are welcome!<br><br>BTW just to clarify (and not singling out any posts in particular so far), as you can see from the pics there is a cafe/bar with a pool table and where light meals are served in the atrium but the main cafeteria/restaurant is marked at the back end of level 1 and is down the long corridor beyond the dorms. For reference purposes that is the cafeteria and the Atrium is best described as just the Atrium.<br><br>There are several Mr Handy robots in the vault. Two assigned to very hot areas in the reactor level (Louie and Dewey), one assigned to heavy lifting duties in the medical bay (Dr. Kildare), one that acts as waiter/barman/cleaner in the restaurant (Norbert).

				I think Norberts flamethower is very low powered so he can whip up a neat creme brulee or flame grill your Salisbury Steak. Of course if an engineer adjusted the fuel flow throttle... He's not combat programmed either so if a wastelander rushed at him with an axe he'd probably just politely infom him the bar was not serving drinks until 6:00pm or something... Then again reprogramming by a science team member or some such could be useful. *end of OOC hints*<br><br>I just set up the first of our databases, this one is for weapons and is in the info thread.<br><br>Also in the characters post I deducted a Molotov from Jupiter's posessions and added a revolver.

				I need to write a note about how the party of characters can acquire weapons, ammo, armour, chems and other equipment.<br><br>Please do not 'invent' dropped weapons and ammo from fallen NPCs and just grab them, otherwise everyone will have the capacity to describe casualties among the attackers and grab grenades, armour, automatic rifles and anything else. People could also rifle the med labs etc and stock up on a years supply of drugs which is clearly going to unbalance the game<br><br>Sp how Urban and I intend this to work is when we write our narration posts you guys and gals need to check them carefully and anything specifically mentioned in there which can be picked up or seems useful you are all free to take (first come first served). This will become much more obvious in the wasteland when our posts will descibe the contents of rooms or bodies and so on.<br><br>So for now, Ramster, please delete that reference to the shotgun and carry on!<br><br>EDIT: And did Jupiter leave the atrium and run down the corridor to the restaurant? That is where Emily Steele is. This cafeteria description is causing some confusion I think. There is an <em>Atrium Cafe</em> in one of the booths in the atrium where Norbert is, nearby are Kenya, Herb and Jupiter. The <em>main restaurant</em> where Emily is is many yards away down the corridor beyond the dorms and I didn't see a section where Jupiter ran down that corridor.<br><br>So, yeah, probably my fault for giving the place two areas to eat in.

				Sorry about that! With security guards dropping like flies and with several of them armed with shotguns, or 10 mm pistols at the least, I thought Fred would be able to grab something off the guy who got shot next to him. A 10 mm at the least, pretty please? <br><br>And yeah, I guess I was pretty confused where Emily was. Looks like she's on her own, Fred is running for the second level! From the Atrium Cafe. <br><br>

				The intention with the mass confusion descriptions is to encourage the characters to get out, not go scavenging.

				I'm thinking things are moving so fast that by the time Kenya gets down to her dorm, grabs her bag and sets off back the Atrium will be a no-go zone.<br><br>Dashenka, would you be okay with Kenya being forced to stay in the dorms/restaurant area?

				I'm sure that "Game Over" comes from early arcade games like Pacman and Asteroids where that was the last thing you saw on the screen when you died. That puts it firmly in the 1980s. I'm surprised Bethesda included such a phrase in New Vegas as it feels completely out of place with the styling of Fallout 3.

				We're all waiting on Urban... he's doing another post that will basically get the characters outside. This Vault chapter hasn't really worked well and the characters are not much more than puppets being forced along by events so Urban and I decided to just describe how they get out and then let you all have fun in a much freer setting... like all of the Fallout 3 map.<br><br>But Urban is a bit busy with school and though I know he's working on the next post it may still be a bit yet. Sorry :(

				Hi all - is anyone going to post? Is there anything people are waiting for?<br><br>Good news - we have finally exchanged contracts on our house. It's taken us a year to sell it, almost exactly. We move out on 25th Feb. Not so good news - the house we have agreed to rent we can't move into until March 1st so we'll be spending 4 or 5 days with friends and all our posessions in a warehouse. I can get to the site from work but unless our friends have wireless I'll be without internet over the weekend of 26th/27th and might be without internet in the evenings (whatever shall we do? *giggles*) so this is a heads up to let you all know my posting rate for those 5 days will be uncertain, so play nicely among yourselves!

				Speaking for myself, I've found the beginnings of this particular RP to be ... disjointed? I'm not quite sure if that's the right word. But it's hard (for me, anyway) to start writing substantive posts for my character when there's big, potentially game-changing posts that I need to wait for before moving on.<br><br>I know in my case, I had Emily doing things in the cafeteria ... then she got whisked away to one place, then another, while the Vault got invaded. Because of that, I've been reluctant to post much of anything, only because I don't want to start something and find out later "doesn't matter, now you're in a new situation".<br><br>I think if we finally just hit a true starting point - where we could all interact and start working towards specific goals, rather than just reacting to things - we could get things moving again.

				That's what I'm hoping we've just reached, Z! I hear what you're saying about the Vault chapter just now. Let's have the Overseer drop dead with a smashed skull, loot the corpses of him and the Rats, and they swing open the door and leave.<br><br>In the sunshine, which they see for the first time in their lives, the gang spots a settlement in the distance, makes for it, and swashbuckling adventures can ensue!

				The Rats are back in the Vault fighting with the security forces so the only person present is the overseer.<br><br>I was waiting for anyone else to post in the present scene in case there is more action around the overseer. If Fred is too slow, he's down and the overseer is still standing so just because one player posts they are hitting him or whatever that does not mean the overseer is out of the action. He could easily see Fred's move and counter it by... shooting him in the head for example.<br><br>So ideally we need posts from every player. If you're not doing anything, please post to that effect.

				Hi everyone.<br><br>Obviously, the game has died. On behalf of Urban as well as myself I'd like to apologise for this and Urban and I are agreed that it was the joint GMs fault - the opening setup was flawed as the attack scene was too tightly scripted and gave the players little reason to post or make any effort in posting since no matter what they did their characters just got dragged along with the scripted story.<br><br>On reflection I think a better start would have been to simply describe it all in one GM post and have the characters out of the Vault before the game opened to give them the freedom to post as they wished.<br><br>An alternative would have been a different start entirely such as 100+ years earlier and they are members of a Vault that is remaining closed for safety reasons but the chars are in a recon party that gets sent out every so often to gather data about the surface.<br><br>But essentially us GMs are going to take the blame for the game's failure. Sorry everyone, we'll maybe try to run thus again another time. Thank you all for your participation and hard work in craeting th echaracters - I only hope you can use them somewhere else as they were all fascinating.
