However, events on the journey can be alluded to in "flashbacks".

				<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Technical Info</strong></span><br><br><strong>Introduction:</strong><br><br>There have been major advances in medical science, but that's about it. Transport technology is now mostly electric, with the electricity either solar or nuclear. Communications have moved on only to keep pace with the advances in biotechnology. It is now commonplace for an individual to have a computer chip in their head that allows them to perform all the functions that we currently use a smart-phone and/or a PC for.<br><br>Limb regrowth has become possible, as has cryogenics - the colonists would all have been in stasis for the bulk of the journey. The common cold has not been cured as such, and nor has the flu, but the bacterium and virus that cause them have been isolated and the ability to sterilise them for a limited time in an isolated environment has been developed.<br><br>Artificial insemination is now quite commonplace, and techniques have been developed whereby same sex couples of both genders can have a baby that is theirs, by taking genetic material from one partner and placing it in either sperm or an ovum (depending on the gender of the couple), then using in vitro fertilisation. It has also become acceptable for gay men to carry their own children to term in a specially constructed "womb" within the belly. Birth is always via caesarean section in these cases.<br><br>Weapons technology has also advanced, but again only to keep up with biotechnology. A military grade cranial implant can control, target and fire a weapon all by itself so long as the user has the correct interface chip in his/her palm. Gauss weapons are becoming commonplace, (using an electric field to accelerate a metal projectile) but traditional cordite bullets are still common on earth.<br><br>Lasers are NOT viable weapons, unless your only intention is to blind your opponent. A laser powerful enough to actually shoot a beam capable of killing someone with a single shot needs a mains electricity supply. As the Ghostbusters were fictional, it is unlikely that you would see a soldier carrying a nuclear reactor on his back! Plus, to defend against a laser beam all you need is a shiny surface! This reflects the beam of light straight back at the person firing it!<br><br><strong>Reproduction:</strong><br><br>One of the precepts of the colony is that it be self-sustaining. Obviously this requires an increase in population. This has already been mentioned by Linna that the first native Martians are expected in ten to twelve months... What about the lesbians and gays?<br><br>Well, first off, there will be an incentive to have children, but it will NOT be mandatory.<br><br>Secondly, as I have described in the technological advances section in the first post, the technology exists for two women or two men to conceive a child between them. It requires what are by now routine gene-splicing techniques, an advance on the simple in vitro fertilisation techniques pioneered in the 1970s, and for male couples, a couple of routine surgical procedures.<br><br>DNA is taken from one parent and placed in a "blank" reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) of the opposite gender. These cells are then combined with the unmodified reproductive cells of the other parent. The fertilised ovum is then implanted into the womb of the "mother". In the case of male couples, this is a special pouch created surgically within the "mother's" body.<br><br>For male couples birth is always by caesarean section.<br><br>It is of course, possible for both parents in a same-sex relationship to be pregnant at the same time.<br><br>It is also possible and acceptable for the male partner in a hetero relationship to carry a child<br><br><strong>Pay:</strong><br><br>It's understood that "pay" for work in the first 3 to 5 years would be pointless. There IS nothing to really buy. Instead of all income going to paying off a debt however, 50% of the standard income go into an accrued account (with interest) and the remainder to defer the cost of the mission or future transport of goods. In 3 to 5 years, the colony should be able to produce goods for it's own use as well as export back to Earth, Luna or orbital facilities between them.&nbsp; Eventually, there will be a need for non-essencial items and the colony, being self-sufficient will be able to produce consummer goods for the colony. At that time, the colonist will have something to draw upon to pay for said items, or even import some things. A 1 year wait isn't that long if you've waited 4 years to buy a basketball, right?<br><br><strong>Exports:</strong><br><br>We have an orbital shuttle craft that has enough fuel for four or five trips to orbit and back with a full payload. Before they leave orbit, the crew of the MCM-1 set up a mass driver on Phobos. This mass driver can be loaded up with canisters containing the ore and any other products and then they are fired towards the Earth on a long spiral-orbital trajectory. Each MD-Can obviously has a radio transponder on it, and as they approach Earth they are tracked and hauled down by space tugs.<br><br>Empty canisters can be returned on the next scheduled flight, or sent back via mass driver with urgent supplies.<br><br>NOTE: Transit time from Earth to Mars is nine months minimum, and the conjunction when this occurs is once every 26 months. It is possible to ship things at other times, but it takes longer.<br><br>You've heard the expression "It's not rocket science"? Well sadly, this <em><strong>is</strong></em> rocket science.<br><br>I have an IQ in the high 130s and I don't get orbital mechanics! <br><br>Suffice to say, you can't just send a rocket from Earth to Mars, or back again. It all has to be planned and worked out using integral and differential calculus. Sending an unmanned cargo pod is different, because if it misses, it doesn't matter. No-one is going to die!<br><br><strong>Weapons and Ammunition:</strong><br><br>I think we'd all agree that firing a bullet in a pressurised dome is a bloody stupid idea?<br><br>Fletchette rounds have been in existence since WWI and they are actually not a round of choice because the fletchette tends to pass through the target causing minimal damage while a lead slug will slow on impact, flayyen and cause maximum damage.<br><br>My invention is a Gauss gun fired round called a Low Velocity Fletchette. The Gauss gun uses a fraction of the energy to launch it's steel projectile that a laser would to do an equivalent amount of damage, the battery for the weapon is in the fore-grip or under the barrel. The round itself is a steel dart about 40mm long and 7mm diameter with a depleted uranium core and four fins on the back about 5mm wide and15mm long. The dart will spin as it flies and will fly at a much lower velocity than a bullet. Bullets fly at around 150 m/s at the slowest. Arrows fly at between 60 and 100m/s. <br><br>I would say that the LVF round flies at around 30m/s from a had gun and 70m/s from a rifle.<br><br>This means that the LVF is a short range weapon only. It will happily kill the target if fired at the head or heart, or incapacitate from a flesh wound. The soft depleted uranium core means that the round will compress on impact.&nbsp; The low velocity and light weight means that the round has a low kinetic energy and thus will rarely create an exit wound.<br><br>It also makes it highly unlikely that the round will pierce a pressure sealed bulkhead.<br><br>LVF rounds can be fired from any gauss weapon with the right calibre, but if fired from an unmodified weapon - i.e. one using a full charge to fire a steel-jacket lead slug, the fletchette is liable to disintegrate in the barrel. To modify a weapon to fire LVFrs it is necessary to reduce the amount of energy passed into the coils in the barrel to reduce the muzzle velocity.<br><br>Non fatal weapons are also available but the military being the military, they want the ability to kill people should it become necessary!<br><br>Note: Lasers are not viable weapons because of a) the power requirements and b) the fact that you can deflect one with a mirror!<br><br><strong>Construction and Mining:</strong><br><br>The Martian regolith is rich in minerals. (NB: Regolith is the name given to soil that has 0 biological components). The substrata will be richer still. Using the Martian rock to build with will help protect against solar radiation.<br><br>A machine is used to turn Regolith into an air-tight Marscrete. The rock or dust is crushed to a consistent powder and then mixed with a resin (that initially will be imported from Earth)&nbsp; Spraying the resultant mix over a surface results in it instantly setting to the consistency of baked clay, within about half a second of contact with CO<sub>2</sub>. for the next two hours it remains workable, able to be drilled, cut, glued, added to, etc. but after four hours it has hardened to the consistency of adamantium.<br><br>To construct domes and living spaces, the marscrete is sprayed onto an inflated plastic bubble in a thin layer, then further layers are added. The marscrete can be sprayed on the inside or outside of the bubble.<br><br>For mining and to dig tunnels, a special tunneling machine is used which will dig out a circular tunnel 2m in diameter. The inside of this tunnel is sprayed with a layer of marscrete by the machine, rendering it instantly airtight. The mining machine uses a small portion of the spoil it has dug out to do this. The remainder is crushed and compacted into super-dense blocks around 1m x 500mm x 500mm. These blocks are then hauled to the surface to be analysed for content and refined.<br><br><strong>Minerals:</strong><br><br>No one really knows what minerals are available on Mars. There is water but it is frozen into Ice or trapped in permafrost lakes deep below the surface. Iron Oxides give Mars it's rusty colour. Extract the iron from them and you have oxygen available.<br><br>Uranium is available in some quantity, and other minerals such as gold, silver and platinum may be available. Mars formed at about the same time as the Earth, so has probably got the same sort of minerals with the exception of fossil fuels. However, there is the possibility that life once existed on Mars, and a mass extinction event would have created oil deposits... We won't know until we start exploring!<br><br><strong>Biotechnology:</strong><br><br>The next big thing.... In 2012, we are on the forefront of a new technological revolution - biotech.<br><br>We already have the ability to splice genes and make clones. The cranial implant chip already exists, and has been used successfully to allow a paralysed woman to use a mechanical arm.<br><br>Nanotechnology is just around the corner - in fact to a certain extent it is already here.<br><br>By 2121 the cranial implant will be common place, safe and user friendly. You won't pick up your phone to make a call, you will open the phone application on your implant and make a call without actually saying a word, unless you want to... Similarly computer programs. They will be stored on a computer chip in your head and you will use them just by thinking about them.<br><br>Military hardware will interface directly with the user's implant, probably via a shielded cable plugged in behind the ear or at the back of the neck, allowing speed-of-thought reactions. Weapons targetting will be by looking in the general direction you are pointing the gun, where you will see the aim point superimposed on the target by the software. Flying and driving will work the same way. Civilians can use a blue-tooth link. Military hand guns will have an interface chip in the hand grip that connects directly to an equivalent chip in the user's palm.<br><br>Entertainment has similarly changed. Want to listen to music? just play it directly into your brain. Watch a movie? Why? Why watch, when you can <em>experience</em> the movie. You can be part of it. Total immersion entertainment, fed directly into the brain. Want to experience the same movie as someone else? Link your implant to theirs by blue-tooth. The most intimate connection two consenting adults can share, brain to brain...<br><br>In short, this technology will revolutionise life. Sure there will be mishaps - a worm virus written to take over an implant killed seven hundred people in 2096. Anti-virus tech and firewall tech took a leap forward as a result. But on the whole, the convenience of being able to control things just by thinking about them has outweighed the risks.<br><br><strong>Environment Suits:</strong><br><br>As mentioned elsewhere, Mars is a hostile environment. The 1970's image of just wearing a face mask wouldn't work. You'd freeze or boil. The Martian environment suit is basically the same as a lunar space suit. It serves the same function after all. The main difference is the weight. A Mars suit weighs about half what a lunar suit does, because it lacks the lead weights in the feet, Mars' gravity being twice that of the moon.<br><br>Standard Mars suits are white. Military and command personnel wear orange suits.

				<strong><span class="bbc_u">Environmental Data</span></strong><br><br><strong>Mars:</strong><br><br>Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars, it is often described as the "Red Planet" as the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain within the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars)<br><br>Mars itself is a harsh and hostile world. The atmosphere is thin, about one hundredth that of Earth's surface at the bottom of the Hellas Platina (where the colony is) and composed primarily of CO2, the gravity is low, about one third that of Earth, the planet is half as far again from the sun as Earth, and the day-time temperature never exceeds 0°c. At night, in the winter, it can drop to -85°c. It is clearly not an environment in which human beings can survive unaided. Venturing outside requires the use of a pressure suit. It would be possible for a human being to survive for a few seconds, say in an emergency transfer from one life-support zone to another, but after that anoxia would quickly set in. It is debatable whether the victim's blood would freeze (due to the temperature) or boil (due to the pressure).<br><br>The reason for establishing the colony at the lowest point on the planet's surface is to maximise the chance of survival in the event of a pressure drop!<br><br><strong>Time keeping:</strong><br><br>The Martian day is 24.6229 hours long. That's 37 minutes and 22 seconds longer that a day on Earth. When it comes to time keeping we have three choices:<br><br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Leave everything as it is, and allow the day to slowly creep around the clock.</li><li>Have a Null-time at the end of every day when all the clocks stop for 37 minutes and 22 seconds.</li><li>Define a Martian Second as being slightly longer than an earth second and recalibrate clocks</li></ul><br>Option 1 is the easiest but is clearly unacceptable as within a few weeks everyone will be doing night shifts....<br><br>Option 2 is just plain weird, and requires every clock on the planet to be adjusted every day.<br><br>Option 3 is the best in my opinion because it requires a one-off recalibration. As most people will have the time "in their heads" on their implants, this can be done simply by writing a computer program that changes the defined length of a second. (yes I know it's not as easy as that, but MarsCorp has had thirty years to figure it out!)<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The maths in case you are interested</div><div class="spoiler_body"><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td></td><td>Hours</td><td>Minutes</td><td>Seconds</td></tr><tr><td>Mars</td><td>24.6229</td><td>1477.374</td><td>88642.44</td></tr><tr><td>Earth</td><td>24</td><td>1440</td><td>86400</td></tr><tr><td>Difference</td><td>0.6229</td><td>37.374</td><td>2242.44</td></tr></tbody></table><br>2242.44 / 86400 = 0.026 seconds to be added to each second.<br></div></div><br>So the length of each second is increased by 0.026, which is an interval so small that no-one is going to notice it! The fact that you end up working for an extra ten minutes without being aware of it, should be taken in stride.<br><br><strong>Mars Base:</strong><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Base plan </span><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fb/Mars_Base_Plan.png)<br><br>North is at the top.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Levels</span><br><br>Please note: The height of the blobs is the only thing that matters. The width is irrelevant.<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/be/Levels.png)<br><br>The purple bars represent the connecting corridors. The orange levels are the life support levels. The red line is the surface.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Summary</span><br><br>The garage and main airlock is in the maintenance &amp; engineering block. The shuttle runway is about 500m due North, oriented East-west. The Nuclear Reactor is 1km due East of the base. Oxygen, Hydrogen and water storage tanks are 500m due South. The communications array is to the West, starting about 500m and stretching for 2km, consisting of aerials, fixed dishes, powered dishes, transmitters, receivers, booster stations, etc... 50m East of the Maintenance Block are the fuel storage tanks for the shuttle.<br><br>The stores block is where all spare parts, clothing, dried, canned, frozen and bottled goods are stored. The freezer section basically pumps the Martian atmosphere through tubes around the freezers in order to cool them. The Stores block also contains the QM's office.<br><br>Access between levels in all blocks is via elevator (which will act as an airlock) or via a spiral staircase that is sealed in a cylinder and accessed via airtight doors. There is a horizontal hatch between each floor that will close automatically in the event of an emergency.<br><br>The compressor pumps, heaters and oxygen/nitrogen mixing valves that constitute the life support system for the base are in the basement of each block. Each block thus has it's own air supply independent of all the others. The atmosphere in the base will (once things start up) be made by compressing the Martian atmosphere into the base, increasing it's pressure by something like 100 times, all the while mixing in a balanced mix of LOX and LN. This stage is done in heavily insulated chambers. <br><br>The resultant breathable air is then heated by passing it over electric elements to bring it up to a non-lethal temperature of 10°c. This air is then pumped around the block into the various rooms (Referring to work spaces and offices as well as bedrooms). Each room has it's own independent climate control that can be used to warm the air further. The main public areas with the exception of the garage/hangar will be heated to 18°c, all smaller rooms/work areas/offices can be heated to the temperature desired by the occupants.<br><br>The hangar will remain at a chilly 10°c, because it is most frequently exposed to the sub-zero temperatures outside. This is for acclimatisation as much as to save power.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">The habitat Blocks:</span><br><br>Block 1 is closest to the main dome, block 3 furthest away.<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/07/Habbitat_Block.png)<br><br>Each block has three floors, eight rooms per floor, for a total of 72 rooms, plus a basement level for life support.<br><br>The Base commander, Security Chief and Deputy Commander each have a room in the command centre, giving 75 rooms available.<br><br>Each room consists of a bed room, bathroom with shower, wash basin and toilet, and a small living area. All rooms are identical including those in the command centre.<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/12/Habitat_room.png)<br><br>Imagine a fairly typical three star hotel room. The living area would have a writing desk, mini bar, table lamp etc as well, but I figured just showing a table and two chairs would give the right impression. <br><br>The bed is a king-sized bed and will sleep two in comfort, three at a squeeze and four if you don't mind a few bruises!<br><br>In addition to the normal air supply, each room in the habitat modules is equipped with a one-shot oxygen supply sufficient to last two people 48 hours if they lie on the bed <em>doing nothing!</em> In the event of a life support failure in the block, this supply will kick in automatically, and if it fails to do so there is a manual override valve located in the closet.<br><br>The emergency airlock is accessible from all three levels, and exits upwards to the surface, via a ladder. The bulkhead to the corridor is only accessible from the lowest level.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Main dome:</span><br><br>The main dome has five floors. <br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>Level one is a transparent observation dome above the Martian surface.

The hanger/garage is the largest single pressurised space in the base, and houses all the ground vehicles (rovers, bikes, buggies, tracks), the tunnelling machines, the marscrete machines the two air craft (one scout, one transport) and the shuttle. The airlock is big enough to take the largest vehicle - the shuttle. It has a variable roof to enable the amount of air in the lock to be reduced for passing smaller vehicles. A personnel lock stands to the East of the main lock, both being on the North side of the block.</li><li>Level two is below the surface and has the main suiting up room and decontamination centre.

				<strong><span class="bbc_u">History</span></strong><br><br>For the history of the Manned Mars Missions, (affectionately known as the 3Ms or M<sup>3</sup>) please see the cut in the opening post.<br><br>This post is dedicated to the backstory of the colonists themselves...<br><br>Where each of your profile histories ends, this history takes over, as you will all have undergone the same events.<br><br>Two years ago, every candidate for the Mars Colony was interviewed and subjected to extreme physical and psychological testing. The unsuccessful candidates were notified at that time, if they failed on psych or fitness grounds.<br><br>All the successful candidates were then sent to the Martian Traning Camp in Antarctica.<br><br>While there, they were subjected to rigorous training in safety procedures, suit maintenance, low pressure survival, low temperature survival, etc... One of the structures at the Antarctic base is an atmospheric simulation chamber, and similar to the way trainee soldiers are put into a chamber filled with teargas, and then told to take their gas masks off, so all Mars colony candidates were made to pass through this chamber to experience first hand what the Martian atmosphere would do to their unprotected bodies.<br><br>Trips to orbit were also laid on, so the candidates could experience microgravity first hand.<br><br>At all stages of training, people dropped out voluntarily or were washed out of the program.<br><br>By the time the final selection was made, three hundred candidates had dropped to one hundred and seventy three.<br><br>From these the final seventy five colonists were selected.<br><br>The seventy five were transported to Branson Station, given the "sterilisation" treatment to remove any viruses or bacteria, and loaded aboard the MCM-1, where they stripped naked and climbed into cryogenic stasis pods. That was the last any of them remembered until they were woken up and told to get dressed and board the shuttles that would take them to the Martian surface.<br><br>Our player characters are all aboard the first shuttle.<br><br><hr><br><strong>RELATIONSHIPS</strong><br><br>Obviously, everyone is expected to form some sort of sexual relationship in order to increase the colony's population. And it has been pointed out that, as the colonists have spent a year together in Antarctica, that relationships may already exist.<br><br>I feel it is necessary to point out that no-one knew who would be going to Mars, and thus the forming of long-term stable relationships prior to departure would be impractical. There is no reason whatever why player characters can't have formed friendships, friendships with benefits, or even steady pairings during training, however it is HIGHLY unlikely that both partners in every such relationship would be selected..<br><br>So, while you are at liberty to form pre-existing relationships with other PCs (or NPCs if you like), I would request that these be on a "friends with benefits" or "fuck-buddies" level, and should probably not be monogamous.<br><br>Also, please note that any candidate falling pregnant prior to departure would automatically be washed out, as the effect of&nbsp; cryo-stasis on an unborn foetus is uncertain and MarsCorp does not wish to be responsible for killing unborn children.<br><br><strong>Societal changes to 2120:</strong><br><br>Over the next hundred years it is unreasonable to expect human society to remain static. The changes I foresee are as follows:<br><br>Same sex relationships are much more commonplace. Gender bias in employment has all but vanished, except in certain fields in certain countries. The oil wars have left the West without a reliable supply of fossil fuels. As such electric cars are the norm. Nuclear power plants have become safer, and there has only been one Chernobyl-like incident in the past hundred years, which was attributed to a terrorist attack.<br><br>Organised religion has all but ceased. The rise of the "spoof religions" - The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, The Jedi Order, The Followers of Khalis, etc - has sapped the moral of many of the mainstream religions. The ones that survive have done so by either watering down their beliefs to the extent that they, too, have become spoofs of themselves (The church of England/Anglican/Episcopalian, for example), or by becoming so hard and strict that they only attract fanatics. (Pentecostals, Shiites, Latter Day Saints, for example). These fanatical religions are watched and infiltrated by the world's security services and are frequently raided. This of course simply makes them feel more persecuted.<br><br><strong>Marriage:</strong><br><br>Marriage on Earth has become a much less formal thing. With divorce becoming more readily available in most countries (as the Catholic and Muslim religions implode) it became apparent that the traditional view of marriage for life was outdated. In its place, many states introduced the Civil Partnership Contract. This was a formal contract of marriage for a fixed term, which could be decided by both parties. Typical terms being one year, five years and sixteen tears. <br><br>At the end of the term, both parties would be free to renegotiate their contract, to extend the term or simply walk away from it. The contracts would contain various get-out clauses as mutually agreed by both sides. In effect, Marriage was reduced to a business arrangement.<br><br>In the Mars Colony, the situation will remain the same. There will be no obligation to draw up any sort of contract, but if a couple wish to draw one up, they will have the right to do so. Civil partnership Contracts will be drawn up by the Base Deputy Commander and authorised by the Base Commander<br><br><strong>Legal matters</strong>: The council will meet to discuss complaints, grievances, criminal matters and the like. If the issue involves a member of the council, that member will be excluded, except to give evidence on his/her own behalf.<br><br>Trial by jury may eventually be instituted, but initially the colony is effectively under martial (as opposed to Martian) law.

				<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">RULES OF PLAY</span></strong></div><br>I keep saying in my posts in the OOC that there will be nothing onerous here, nothing draconian. I have asked that everyone read them and post to say they have and are in agreement.<br><br><strong>IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH SOMETHING HERE, <span class="bbc_u">PLEASE TELL ME!</span></strong><br><br>All rules except two are negotiable!<br><br><strong>The Red Sand Box Of Mars</strong><br><br>This is a sandbox roleplay. What that means is that I as GM provide you the players with an environment to have fun in! You can explore it, you can fuck each other senseless, you can sit in the bar and mope, you can go crazy and blow up the reactor.<br><br>I don't mind what you do, so long as you do <em>something</em>!<br><br>ALL my previous group games have ended because people simply stopped posting. With a sandbox RP, it's down to you guys to make the story, not me. Oh, I have a few sub-plots I am going to throw at you, to see how you react, but other than that, it's your game guys. Do with it what you will...<br><br><strong>RULES:</strong><br><br><ul class="bbc_list" style="list-style-type: decimal;"><li>The GM's word is law. This does not mean I'm not open to discussion, but if it comes to an impasse, if a decision needs to be made, or a discussion is getting out of bounds, I will render a decision that I expect to be abided by. I will do this based upon context. Example, the thing about marriage!</li><li>Respect other players ons and more importantly, their offs! <strong>This is NOT negotiable.</strong> Ons and offs are there for a reason. If you feel someone has broken this rule, please PM them first to talk about it. If they will not change their post, then contact me via PM and I will deal with it. Please note that persistently ignoring another players O/Os is grounds for reporting to staff!</li><li>Try to post at least once a week. If you know you will be unable to post for a while please let us know in advance in the OOC. it is a good idea to create an Apologies/Absences (A/A) thread so everyone you are RPing with knows where you've gone.</li><li>If you know you are going to be away for a considerable time (more than a week) please bring any story-arcs you are involved in to a conclusion , or extract your character from them.</li><li>If you find your character is sitting around doing nothing, post something to the OOC, or PM me. If you wait for someone to interact with you, you will wait a long time. Let me know and I will create a NCP for you to interact with.</li><li>If you have any questions about anything in the game, ASK! The only stupid questions are "how many beans make five" and ones that aren't asked!</li><li>The OOC thread is here for people to chat. I have no problems with you guys discussing the latest football results if you wish, (although I'd rather you didn't), because it means you are getting on as a group. However, please try not to interject random discussions into serious game related ones if possible? Other than that, use this thread as you see fit!</li><li>Please tag all IC posts using the code supplied below, editing the details as appropriate. This will enable other players and myself to track where everyone is. Also, please use thread links when moving from thread to thread. an example of this is given below too</li><li>There is no rule 9.</li><li><strong>HAVE FUN!</strong> This too is non-negotiable. If you aren't having fun, I would like to know why, so I can change whatever it is that is stopping you having fun!</li></ul><br><strong>Code to tag your posts:</strong><br><br>Tagging posts is important, because when we have a lot of players many of whom have multiple characters, and they are in the same thread but in different locations, things quickly get confusing.<br><br>The code works in exactly the same way as the character sheet. Paste it in at the top of each post, and fill in the details. You can if you wish copy the code from a previous post you have made, but please remember to update it when things change.<br><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=100 padding=5]Paste URL of character avatar here[/img][/floatleft]<br>[table]<br>[tr][td][b]Character name:[/b][/td] [td]Name of your character[/td][/tr]<br>[tr][td][b]Location:[/b] [/td] [td]Where are they WITHIN the area covered by the thread[/td][/tr]<br>[tr][td][b]With:[/b] [/td] [td] What PCs and NPCs are they currently with[/td][/tr]<br>[tr][td][b]Doing:[/b] [/td] [td] What are they doing[/td][/tr]<br>[/table]<br><br>[hr]<br></code></pre><br>Completed example:<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/53/Louise_Cotter_Avatar.jpg)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Character name:</strong></td><td>Louise Cotter</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Location:</strong> </td><td>Base Commander's Room</td></tr><tr><td><strong>With:</strong> </td><td>Alecia Hicks</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Doing:</strong> </td><td>Bonking like bunnies</td></tr></tbody></table><br><hr><br><br>If you want to provide your own 100px high avatar, you can, or you can let Atlas or myself know and we will create you one.

In the "to" thread, click the blue Post Header (directly above the reply number).

Also the other player might not be checking the threads because they are so busy, and they might be overwhelmed.

Mars was made in much the same way as Earth, so you should see much of the same resources as Earth, the moon and the Asteroid belt, so it's as likely as not to find everything except for coal... as I'm not sure of how crude oil was produced, that one may be out, but the others are probably in some easily accessed supplies because they haven't been mined out of existance. Gold, Silver, Platnium, iron, copper, bronze, urianium and so on should all be in some quanity.<br><br>Anyone wanna be Laura's "fuck buddy" in training? She likes both guys and gals. ;)

You get paid regardless and is more like a salary than an hourly work effort. If I recall the post in the recruitment thread, colony members accrue half pay, which is kept in an interest bearing account and half goes to pay off a portion of the mission cost. That credit will, in turn go to the purchase of items when the colony begins to either produce it's own commodities for the conoly,&nbsp; or when it comes possible to "order" things from Earth, Luna or other locations. Part of the lost 50% helps in shipping cost, even if it might be 18 months to 2 years to get said items. <br><br>At the moment, there isn't anything to buy, so there is no money or pay need. Basically, you get food and housing and get to work in a nifty cool place like Mars... you get a big paycheck later. The "profitability" part of the colony comes from, I would think, rare or difficult to get materials on Eart or Luna (or just cheaper to lift from Mars and shoot home), advances in research and/or development (Probably the most lucrative income area) and from whatever the colony can produce and export. The company would likely get at least a portion of this income as the shipping body. Profit will not be immediate, but probably a long term concept.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=148593.msg6735139#msg6735139">Quote from: Prince Truhan on 09-08-2012, 20:09:06</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><br>2.

Said captain has to be certified to operate/command a vessel of a certain size (Menaing that you cannot marry sommeone if you are captain of the rowboat tied to the pier). And, the captain has to be in international waters. In the military, it's why they have chaplins on ships, the captain cannot marry couples due more in the fact that marriages in the military cannot be between people in the same unit than being the captain of a ship... The liscensed captain of a cruise ship, a freighter or a yatch can, legally perform a marriage in the same ways that a magistrate, justice or c;ergy can... the state or law has granted them said power. "And by the power vested in me by the state of Georgia... I pronounce you.. blah, blah, blah."<br><br>I would, however point out the few marriages conducted in Star Trek (Both TOS and TNG) and that they could officiate such unions. As "governor" of the colony, our dear CO could probably do the same in the absence of a chaplin, or it could simply be a witnessed contract between people for either a lifetime, or a set duration... as is often mentioned in many near future fiction novels...

				We already have men spending months on the international space station, which is, in part, a test to see how man deals with long periods in space. The travel time wouldn't be that much different than time on ISS. If you can survive months in spaces as small as that, then you can survive months in a traveling spacecraft, right?<br><br>The ship itself would have to be huge to supply the crew for 15 months of travel, plus whatever time they spent on mars, say 6 months to make the trip worth the effort. You don't spend all of the time in space suits or capsules and in theory, the living habitat would be large enough to at least make moveing around without a suit possible... as we have seen with the now decommissioned space shuttles, it doesn't take a lot of space, just a certain personality.<br><br>In my own opinion, we'll have to establish a perminant presence on the moon before we can move on to a perminant structure on Mars. Luna offers us nearly all of the conditions, at more extremes, that we'll have to face on Mars and the ability to learn how to extract everything that we need from the resources available.<br><br>A little known item of interest. The Moon has both water and oxygen (plus the trace elements) in abundance... we just have to figure out how to extract it from the rocks where it's at.... and no, I'm not talking about little bubbles of air in the gravel... The necessary elements to produce said materials are there.<br><br>And just imagine mining the moons of Mars! Love it!<br><br>In the time Magazine article I recall from all those years ago, terriforming Mars would be an unmanned process for well over 50 years; seeding alji to produce atmosphereic elements, factories to produce green house gases to raise the temperature and thicken the atmosphere, eventually more advanced plantlife to increase air production and remove carbon dioxice from the air and another 50 years or so of first space suits, then breathers before being able to run about&nbsp; on the red tinged grass and visit Mount Alien Face... *grins* I realy need to see if the article is out there anywhere...

We will be a minimum of 90,000,000km from the next nearest authority. Radio time lag will be measured in minutes. The shortest lag will be about 5 minutes when the planets are in conjunction and 20 minutes when in opposition. Of course with the sun between them there will be a radio black-out!<br><br>So, the base commander's word is effectively law, subject to the consent of the council. Marriages will therefore be a civil affair, an arranged contract between two consenting adults, and will be drawn up by the Deputy Commander who is the one with the legal experience, in consultation with the couple. The contract can be for anything from one night to a lifetime, and can have whatever PNAs and get-out clauses the couple desire.<br><br>If they want to....<br><br>If they don't want to, they don't have to.&nbsp; Damn... I need a "social issues" post as well.... it's going to have to go with the history one I guess.<br><br><strong>Legal matters:</strong> The council will meet to discuss complaints, grievances, criminal matters and the like. If the issue involves a member of the council, that member will be excluded, except to give evidence on his/her own behalf.<br><br>Trial by jury may eventually be instituted, but initially the colony is effectively under martial (as opposed to Martian) law. <br><br>Blinkin, the trip to Mars takes about 9 months if done right, according to my research, not 15....&nbsp; And the crew consists of two people.<br><br>The colonists are not crew, they are cargo, sleeping the trip away in cryo-stasis.

				A screen reader is a program that translates text on the computer screen into an audio format that the blind can understand. It does have some problems with text or symbols that aren't based on the celtic or romantic languages, such as oriental or serrelic (Russian, for example).

				In no particular order, or quoting...<br><br>I'm a big Mel Brooks fan, and Men in Tights has been one of my favorites for sometime. After I lost my sight, I just found the character of Blinkin even more entertining... so when I created my E account, it sort of fit.<br><br>Another one that far too many took as "real" was The Blaire Witch Project, which went so far as to create a website to support it's "Real" story background and selected footage not shown in the movie... It actually said, on a back page someplace that you had to look for that it was a fictional story, but alot of people believed it for weeks... that was the only frightening part of "The most frightening movie I ever saw."<br><br>Personally, I found the whole movie boring as hell and about as scary as a box of cornflakes.<br><br>But then, my ex-sister in law saw Ghost Busters at the theatre and came home to pick up a knife and search the house for ... ghost... So, her views are highly suspect.<br><br>I do feel that TV news media hold too much power to twist the "truth" to whatever improves their ratings and focus on negative stories specifically for that. When entertainment media can take advantage of that and it seem real, it IS frightening.

(Says so clearly in the description somewhere). Even the three rooms in the Command centre block are the same. Rank hath it's privilege, but on Mars, a bigger room ain't one of them! Not yet, anyway. But all the rooms have a king-sized bed, easily big enough for three, or four if you want to risk the life-support.<br><br><hr><br>One more thing, that is certainly implied in the description of the base but may not be completely clear: The compressor pumps, heaters and oxygen/Nitrogen mixing valves that constitute the life support system for the base are in the basement of each block. Each block thus has it's own air supply independent of all the others. The atmosphere in the base will (once things start up) be made by compressing the Martian atmosphere into the base, increasing it's pressure by something like 100 times, all the while mixing in a balanced mix of LOX and LN. This stage is done in heavily insulated chambers. The resultant breathable air is then heated by passing it over electric elements to bring it up to a non-lethal temperature of 10°c. This air is then pumped around the block into the various rooms (Referring to work spaces and offices as well as bedrooms). Each room has it's own independent climate control that can be used to warm the air further. The main public areas with the exception of the garage/hangar will be heated to 18°c, all smaller rooms/work areas/offices can be heated to the temperature desired by the occupants.<br><br>The hangar will remain at a chilly 10°c, because it is most frequently exposed to the sub-zero temperatures outside. This is for acclimatisation as much as to save power.<br><br>I will add the above to the base description...

				The first order of business: Unfortunately (for me) the number of male characters outnumbers the number of available female characters for them. This ratio is not to my liking.<br><br>Second: In response to your first IC post Chrystal, I have a pretty good joke:<br><br>In later years, they interviewed Neil Armstrong about all of his experiences. Eventually, they got onto the topic of the moon landing. The reporter asked what inspired him to say the line "that was one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," to which Armstrong replied, "that's not what I said, let me tell you the full story.<br><br>"When I was a boy, the was a family living next-door to us, the Klein's,&nbsp; Manny and Deborah. One day, I was playing out in the front yard, and through an open window, I could hear the two of them arguing through an open window.&nbsp; Manny had asked Deborah for oral sex, to which she replied, 'oral sex?! You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the boy next-door walks on the moon.<br><br>"So, naturally, I trained to be an astronaut, and when I first landed on the moon, I said the most obvious thing: 'That was one small step for man, one giant leap for Manny Klein."

				See, I can't turn my back for a minute....<br><br>I go to bed and look what happens! Goodness knows what's going to happen from tonight on, when I will be back at work and will have only a couple of hours each evening to work on this, plus weekends!<br><br>First of all, <br><br>@Linna, welcome back, I'm sorry I scratched your characters, but you did say you were dropping out and I then didn't hear from you. I have re-instated both, but if you only want to use the one that is fine.<br><br>I haven't got to the IC threads yet, so I'm just hoping the character you activated was the bisexual one? We have a M/F imbalance with too many guys. Give me a few hours to sort everything and I'll have a look at your post.<br><br>Yes I mentioned the mass/weight thing - had a NPC Sergeant mention it over open radio channel to his assigned group of civilians when they were unloading the shuttle.<br><br>Terraforming is going to take decades. The equipment to start terraforming is still being fabricated in Earth Orbit and won't be here until MCM-1 returns in four years (re-branded MCM-3) with the third wave.<br><br><hr><br>@ Blinkin, Lou isn't mad, she's scared. She wouldn't really throw her security chief in the slammer on the first day.... she'd be more likely to confine her to quarters and then come and give her a good spanking!<br><br>As I said, I haven't checked the ICs yet, but I would prefer it if Laura ran back to get her suit like Steffan?<br><br>Otherwise I have to change my posts! I'm a great believer in characters suffering the consequences of their players' mistakes! Continuity is the key, just because you <em>can</em> edit something, doesn't mean you <em>should.</em><br><br><strong>This goes for everyone:</strong><br><br>If someone posts something that you don't like, you don't think is correct in context, doesn't work, etc... Please DO NOT respond to the post IC. Instead, PM the player and/or post here in the OOC.

				Ok, quick and dirty notes.<br><br>On the terraforming comments, no it was not directed at anyone. I DID see the post and it sparked my mental processes and I DO find it (along with the changes that mars children will go through, etc) fasenating, so Laura may stick her nose into it just for the, "Wow, neato keen!" aspects of it. No offense or insult was intended by it, nor was there criticism intended.<br><br>Laura and her amazing environment suit... She gets that it wasn't a angry thing so much as fear, but it still surprised her and she moved to correct the problem. No rewrites as, to be honest, I hate them. I may modify for a horrible spelling error or to correct some termology, but rarely, if ever, for content. I offered, but as something had been mentioned, I didn't. :)<br><br>A spanking? She might enjoy that a little too much... you're suppose to be dissuading her, not encouraging her. ;)<br><br>Now, back to your regularly schedule programming, already in progress..<br><br>"And now, we return you to the brand new MBC (Mars Broadcasting Company) production of....

Already?? *sighs* We may have to start on the long term detention center earlier than expected... It'll take years to deport them... unless we want to stick them into a canister with a hundred Peanut and Butter sandwiches and about 20 gallons of coffee and shoot them back via the mass driver? That could be fun! *evil grin*<br><br>Oh... can we have a pool? Water isn't realy an issue... we can get all the water we want from the poles, ship it down via shuttle and then just melt it into a big hole that the miners dig and seal with Marscrete. :) Instant pool!<br><br>Of course, a pool has a lot of value... physical fitness, playtime, emergency water supply, romantic sex scenes... Lots of useful things to do with a pool... *mischievous grin*<br><br>One last question... can Laura have a dog? lol

				I'm already treating this like a large group game. If you try to read every post you are going to go insane. This is a large and really active group. Just read up on your section. I think thats good advise for everyone, your character isn't going to know everything. Especially till it dies down.

				No, you don't have to change your post(s). :) What I was trying to say is that a character should be able to say, "Yeah, I saw him in a class and I think he's in the medical field." or "Oh, she's hot.... but we never got introduced." <br><br>If someone wants a character to know a little more, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they may of said "Hi" over a coffee pot and exchanged chit-chat. A point was made that not everyone will know every last person, and I will conceed that point, but by and large, by the time they were ready to board the ship at Earth, knowing OF someone shouldn't be a stretch. "knowing" someone is a little different matter. Just saying that the final selections would not of been made 15 minutes before boarding, but probably at least several weeks before.<br><br>I had 412 students in my graduating class in High School. I didn't know everyone, but I could point to at least 2/3rd of them and say, "That's Mary lou... that's Craig Hastings... "That's Ashley and she makes noises like a chipmunk when she's excited..." Admittedly, there were not years to associate, but there were&nbsp; at least a few months of time to know most of the 25 on the surface now.<br><br>It's up to Chrystal, just tossing some thoughts out there. It's not inappropriate to say, "No, I don't know the hunky guy over there." or "Haven't really met him." it just shouldn't be a "I don't know anyone at all."

				From what I understood about it, the implant is just like any computer that you would use today. It has wireless access, uses your own brain as the harddrive/ram and can hold everything that you have ever acessed from news clips to books, music, video, grocery list, planner, bank accounts and VR. You can watch, read or review it at leasure or desire and access the main system in the colony, and via that, Earth. There's a time lag for uploading at that kinda distance, but it allows for the new releases and updates in various areas. If I recall, it is sort of a VR through the optic nerves that lets you "see" it through your eyes.<br><br>Makes any sense?

				Whew... what a lot to read...<br><br>Okay so 26 characters on base is actually doable.... Brings the total to 77, because two of them (me and Atlas) rode up front in the shuttle. The other two shuttles will have 25 passengers, pilot and copilot, but those two will go back up... (actually there ate only two physical shuttles and we're keeping one).<br><br><strong>The implant:</strong><br><br>I think I explained this somewhere, but I'll recap. It's basically the same as the CPU of your tablet computer, except it is wired directly into your head. You can have additional memory chips there too.<br><br>It willk do ANYTHING a present day computer will do, plus it can do some other pretty amazing stuff too. It has wireless intranet access (there is no internet on Mars yet), it can make long distance phone calls, picking up your voice and relaying it, and sending the reply to your aural nerves, it can play music the same way.<br><br>It can play video directly to your optic nerve - in fact your optic nerve is it's main display medium. It has two display modes - black-out and see-through, so you can be totally immersed in what you are doing or can overlay ot over the real world.<br><br>You can open a spreadsheet, put numbers and formulas in just by thinking about it, zip the file and email it to your boss, all within a second, all just by wanting to.<br><br>With the optional hard-jack - which is compulsory to the military, and to civilian pilots, you get secure thought control over whatever you happen to be driving or flying. Other non military ground vehicles can be controlled by a standard blue-tooth link.<br><br>You might have noticed a rather odd device listed in the habitat room's inventory?<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">1 bluetooth implant link base station</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>This device links your implant to the room's smart-systems. So, just by thinking about it, you can turn on the screen, lock the door, start the shower, play music from your implant over therooms speakers, or <em>vice versa</em> - play music from the base's library in your head.<br><br>Basically, use your imaginations.<br><br>Just as there are a quadrillion and one aps for smart phones, so there will be aps for your implant. Monitor your heart rate. Monitor your calories. Go shopping. Pay your bills. book a holiday. Speak a foreign language. Control a robot arm. Make everyone look like smurfs. Record a full-sense porn-movie of your lovemaking and then swap with your lover to see what it felt like from their perspective....<br><br>The cancer risk is 0.000,000,001% - if you already have a brain tumour it will make it worse, but implants have been know to cause two in sixty years of use by billions of people...<br><br>The greatest risk is having your implant hacked by a "brain worm" virus. There are fifty or so brain-worms out their and they have various effects from simply wiping your implant to killing you outright. The worst one is called "puppet". It uploads a virus program into the implant which then spreads into the subjects brain, scrambling neurons. It wipes human memory, and leaves what is effectively a cabbage. The virus then writes a new personality in, and opens an internet link to a server in Japan. The server has long sinse been shut down and victims of the virus now stand like cardboard cut-outs (or abandoned RP characters) until help arrives, but previously they would head via the fastest possible route to the home of one Yushiko Amasato, the author of the virus. He had amassed quite a harem when he was arrested!<br><br>These days, of course, all implants come with free AVG software pre-installed with the option to upgrade to the full package for a reasonable fee.<br><br><hr><br><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE:</strong><br><br>Please can I remind everyone that we are in :<br>Play-By-Post: Light »<br>Light: Human Small Groups<br><br>Light means just that. Keep things light please.<br><br>If you are after heavy BDSM, serious kinkiness, rape, whatever, you are in the wrong game.<br><br>This doesn't mean you can't have fun. The odd spanking, the odd tying up, I <em>think</em> we will get away with, but we WON'T is it becomes the main theme of the sex.<br><br>LIGHT, as in not heavy. So, no rubber hose and lube, please.... unless it becomes necessary as an actual medical procedure, and then I'd prefer it not be described in detail, thanks.<br><br>I enjoy BDSM as much as the next pervert and I'm 50/50 switch so I D and S. Those of you who know me, know I'm almost as kinky as it gets. I put the game in light because I wanted it to be as inclusive as possible. That means there might be people playing who are turned off by a slap on the backside, however playfully delivered.<br><br>Hence my rule about respecting O/Os.<br><br>This is a gentle reminder. Please don't make me start PMing people?

				<strong>Important technical note</strong><br><br>Will all players please note that the entire base, with two exceptions is a minimum of 3 metres underground.<br><br>There are no windows in any rooms. <br><br>Please will players edit out any references to windows.<br><br>Sorry about that.<br><br>The two exceptions are:<br><br>The Maintenance block, level 1 is partly above ground. It is the tallest structure on the base as it has the RF Antenna on top. I should probably have mentioned (but forgot in the excitement) that the airlocks slope down slightly as they head in. The floor of the hangar is 1m below the surface.<br><br>The observation dome. Again the floor is 1m below the surface, but the dome itself extends a good four metres above the ground. From half a metre up it is transparent apart from the steel support struts, which end in a 1m diameter ring. The central ring is also transparent. The dome is made from the same sort of glass that those terrifying floors on tall buildings are made from - you know, the ones everyone is always trying to break by jumping on?

				I tend to have some fun with it, so it's as much a game as anything. I'll go into Victoria's Secrets (Victoria ain't got many secrets left!) with my wife and while she's shopping, I'll pick up various things and ask, "Does this suit me?" or "Do you have this in Periwinkle?" I have actually had ex-girlfriends refuse to take me into those places anymore. *sighs dramatically* If you have to do it, at least enjoy it! ;)<br><br>BTW, True story! When I was in my mid 20's, I had a fairly tight group of friends who would have a party every weekend. Christmas was coming up and one of the women in the group who I was close friends with wanted to get 3 of her friends gag gifts... dildo's. She was too embarrassed to do it herself, and dared me to go and buy them... <br><br>So, off I went, found an adult shop and bought 4 very lifelike dildos. One in hot pink, pastel blue, neon green and the last one in crome. My friend nearly passed out when I dropped them on her kitchen table (except for the crome) and helped her wrap them. It was quite a sight to watch three women open the packages at a Christmas party... but more fun to watch my red faced friend open her own crome model in front of her girl-friends holding their own!<br><br>I know one of the 4 got used fairly extensively as I later dated her... one was "Stolen" in the emergency room that night when she had to run her little boy to the ER after he fell and cut his arm (yeah, it was stolen...) the other two I never heard about again... but they learned to not dare me to do things!

I think that's why Col. Cotter put so many safeguards on it... you could, if you could get past the door, through the turrents with M-40A1 Pulse Rifles, the little midget with the cattle prod AND win a game of solitaire.... you could get into the reactor and blow it up... but yes, you could plot to do so.<br><br>As for tying someone up and rape...That is beyond the limits set up by E, not Chrystal. I suppose that you could get away with it if you created your own Thread outside of the group, write the scene and then linked it into the group with a warning of some kind... it would essencially be the same as Fade To Black with a glow in the dark arrow leading you to the night vision goggles. ;)<br><br>

Everyone has been thoroughly screened. Everyone has spent a year in Antarctica being conditioned to the cold and the cramped quarters.

				Example of flashback!<br><br>@ Blinkin: Nice response. You actually didn't have to, but I was hoping you would give the same memory from Laura's point of view.<br><br>One thing I love about flashbacks and memories like that is that both players can - nay, <em>should</em> have different recollections of the same event. If Louise remembers Laura not dropping the salute until she returned it, and L:aura remembers not dropping the salute simply through nerves, that is NOT a continuity error. <br><br>(A continuity error can only occur in the "present", where things need to follow each other, and continuity needs to be maintained). It is a fact that different people remember the same event in totally different ways. The conversation can even be totally different from two people's perspective.<br><br>Just one thing about your reply, Blinkin. It's not your fault because I doubt if your software says "There is a horizontal line here", so you didn't know that my flashback is separated from the present-time story by them. Please could you edit one in on either side of your flashback? I'm going to insist on it for everyone else, and I know you can put one in... it's the {hr} tag, with square brackets as always.<br><br>So, yes, please put a horizontal line above and below flashbacks to separate them from the main story.<br><hr>One of those, for people who can see it!<br><br>Now to work on that "role-call" table.....

				Ah, I see... Admittedly, both character bsis are genius in their mental processes.<br><br>Unfortunately, I have to respectfully disagree with some of the thoughts offered. A doctor who is too clinical in their approach may achieve results in the physical medicine field, but for a doctor in the field of treating mental illnesses would have a very difficult time building trust and repore with a patient if they are too distant and clinical. There is a fine line, but without the trust, a patient needing mental treatment would find less positive results, I think.<br><br>Then, I personally would feel uncomofrtable if I ever saw a doctor who acted like they had more important things to do than treat me... like their golf game or meeting the nurse in the closet. ;)<br><br>A comment on the whole mental scalple thing... It brings to mind a skit Jeff Foxworthy did about rednecks and their expectations.<br><br>"I mean, no one wants to see their surgeon and hear, "Ok, what we're gonna do is saw the top of your head off and root around in there with a stick until we find that dad-burn clot."" hehe<br><br>And, I would point out such characters as Dr. Peter benten of ER fame, who was dying to cut into someone, anyone he could find. I fear that there are doctors like this out there and a little empathy would be helpful. lol<br><br>But, all things aside, the character of our good shrink is an interesting one and I meant no offense in my thoughts. :)

				Well, first of all, you might want to check the time. Remember we are not a military unit, we are not a corporate sweat-shop. This is a town!<br><br>Everyone has had a hard day, being woken up from deep-sleep, getting showered, dressed, loading the shuttle, sorting out what needed to be on the first shuttle, getting suited up then actually boarding the thing, the ride down to the surface, exiting onto a new world, unloading the shuttle, moving everything into the hangar, then when the power came on, moving things down into stores, checking inventory - it's actually dinner time!<br><br>And the base works standard office hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm.

				True, but he did see Louise drag Laura off rather too enthusiastically and it would be common "scuttlebutt" around Antarctica that Base Commander 2 was "doing" her acting security chief... In a community of 150 people (I think I made it reasonably clear how the Antarctic bases were organised in my flashback), it would be pretty difficult to keep something like that secret for long.

				IE: He doesn't want to find himself out on the surface in the middle of the night without an E-suit, right? lol<br><br>It should be expected, even by the company, that a settling in period is reasonable as none of them have actually dealt with being on another planet, at 1/6th gravity after 9 months of sleep and/or inactivity. A few days of less than nose to the grindstone activity should probably be tolerated, as long as the important work is getting done (IE, Life Support is running, clean-up's on aisle 6 getting done and everyone is, generally pulling a fair work day.<br><br>On one hand, it's not totally inaccurate of a view that the Mission Commander, DMC and Security Chief in particular would have a high demand day, but as things start-up and the expected unexpected emergencies will crop up almost immediately and the needs to get things settled in and working programs started, the demands will be higher than many others. Administrative functions are always more demanding than people think and they will not have a set "on" and "off" duty schedule for the foreseeable future.<br><br>I think Laura and Louise just got a quicky knowing that down time will be scarce for several days, if not weeks yet. There's a lot to do to bring a 30 year idle&nbsp; facility up to full operation and make sure that nothing blows up in their faces.<br><br>On that note, the second shuttle load of colonist would probably be at least 3 or 4 days out because it wouldn't make sense to put more people on the ground until it's all running and the big issues are solved.

				Ok, hope this post makes his motivations more clear:<br><br>I grasp the idea that downtime is necessary and expected completely. Stefan wants to but doesn't.<br><br>He is unsure on how people should be adapting to mars, some as he said plunged themselves into work, some don't. Since they landed he has struggled with that, since he <em>feels</em> everyone should be working, but <em>knows</em> that downtime is needed.<br><br>Given that there is a psychologist, he figured she was the best to give him an opinion on how people should behave under ideal circumstances, and how lenient he should be. His nature is to pressure people, he knows that right now he shouldn't.<br><br>He isn't about to stage a coup, or denounce anyone to Mars corp. He just wants to reconcile his instincts with his knowledge, since the latter is insufficient, he sought advice.

				Guys regarding Chrystal's remark that it's evening now, how about some sort of time warning. <br><br>Chrystal could post in every thread of the game the time at that post. We could then all write our next post with that in mind. Would this be easier to realize what time it is for everybody?<br><br>If your scene hasn't moved on to that time of the day yet, you can just make your next post a bit of a flashback and then going to that time. For example if you are in a meeting in the morning that is still taking place and the GM posts that it is now 16:00 (or 4PM for those who cannot count to 24 :P) you can write your next post where you finish the meeting and describe what you did until 16:00.<br><br>Would this be nice or is it too much detail and too pedantic?

				Well, it's down to 5 days now and I will probably just wrap up the current scene, put Laura's stuff into her quarters and either go inactive in Louise's quarters as a snuggle bunny, or in her own quarters while I'm gone.

What I don't want to do, though, is have three hours pass between someone saying something and getting a reply! <br><br>I would prefer to move time on when it seems appropriate in each thread, rather than at the same point in all threads, or simply have players move things on by implication in their posts.

				I've lived in Moscow where the subway nearly killed me. Literally. I was at Lubyanka Station when in 2010 those women blew up the train. Never been happier to have missed my train. Had I not missed it I might not have been here. That was the last time I used any form of public transport in Russia.<br><br>Here in London I feel a little safer but the endless health and safety warnings drive me mad. <br><br>Doors closing...

				Well, I've never liked driving, and the bad accident I was in two years ago kind of confirmed my hate of it. ::) It's why I drive (when I have to) a big truck ... I wanted an armored car. If I could've afforded a Humvee, I would've gotten that. (The Prius I used to own crumpled like a beer can and practically disintegrated when I was hit in the accident).<br><br>And my feet barely touch the pedals when I drive, so I feel like a five year old behind the wheel. It's another reason why Driving = Bad. :P<br><br>Off to the B Train now ... :)

If they do, I would hope that their security would be good enough to keep the location of the weaponry from civilian populations, especially foreign nationals. Here's some wild guesses (oh dear God, I hope that these aren't right) as to the location of the assumed nuclear weaponry.<br><br>First, it's unlikely that any weaponry would be kept near the airfield used to deploy them. It would probably be in a secret isolated location, probably somewhere in the Negev (the desert in the southern part of Israel). However, I doubt that any payloads would be dropped from a plain however. The closest area that Israel would go after using any type of WMD (though I doubt it would be deployed at all) would be Iran probably, which is too distant from Israel for air-deployed nuclear weaponry to be of any use. This leaves to options: by sea and by space. Israel either (or possibly both) has nuclear submarines deployed in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, etc., or has ICBMs which are most definitely capable of launching nuclear payloads around the world, quickly.<br><br>That's all I have to say on the issue.

				Lol, fair enough... although I think you overestimate the power of the sort of weapon Israel is likely to have.<br><br>It is far more likely that any such weapons would be tactical nukes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_nuclear_weapon). These are basically artillery shells or small bombs. They are designed to be used on the battlefield to destroy enemy armoured formations. <br><br>They are usually fired from the same platforms as conventional shells or conventional air-to-surface munitions.<br><br>The idea that Israel has ICBMs is pretty remote - first of all they have never test-launched a missile. It is highly unlikely that anyone other than the USA would sell them a working ICBM, and the USA has signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. It is a standard "conspiracy theory" urban legend that the Israelis stole their plutonium from the USA because the US wouldn't sell it or give it!<br><br>Second, an ICBM silo is pretty hard to hide. Look at google earth satellite images of the Nevada Dessert and Siberia, and you can actually see the damn things! If there were any such structures in Israel, we would know about it! As for mobile launching platforms, they are&nbsp; largely a Russian thing. The US did come up with one in the 80s, but it wasn't particularly good. <br><br><hr><br>However, enough about that.<br><br>Does anyone else have Google Earth?

				I'll get the pic out of email and see if I can figure out how to post it here. If it works, you'll get the one pic that I have of him at the moment. There are 4 pics of him with his puppy raiser family at last year's christmas day festivities, but I'll have to figure out how to scan them into a file before I can post them. There's also his graduation photo (yes, the dogs "graduate" from the program) as well as the handlers.<br><br>The better half is doing better, thanks, but she's starting to feel sick again. Hopefully this time we will get a clean biopsy and cultures that will help the doctor figure out what it is... 5 different doctors in 5 different specialities have now officially been stumped as it did not respond to some big time antibiotics the way that it should of. While I made it to bed about midnight, she didn't manage it until after 2:AM. I had the longer day though with more than 2 weeks of very short nights and I couldn't hold my head up. I'm only up now because Eagle had to go out at 4:30 this morning and has to be fed at 6:00 this morning. No point in going back to sleep.<br><br>Technically (the vet told me once), a dog is still a "puppy" until about the age of 2 years to 2 1/2 years. They are still growing and developing at this point and don't become fully mature until now. Just like humans, they can reproduce well before they are fully grown/mature, so the term is still apt for a few more months.<br><br>Ok, let me try to add the pic. If it's not here, I'll scream for help... chrys... ;)<br><br>Hmmm... it didn't appear in the inbox... let me see if I can get it sent to me again and I'll post as soon as I can.

				I doubt that anyone will remember a movie back in the early 80's staring a young Patrick Swazy called Red Dawn.<br><br>The basic plot is that the russians invade the US, with the help of the cubans and mexicans.

There's more than enough support against the anti-gun movement that getting the ammendmant pulled is all but impossible and while at least one political party has figured out how much power the states actually have, they are also discovering now that it's backfiring (no pun intended) on them over the whole women's rights fight.<br><br>Of the voting population, just over 50% are women...<br><br>Out of that, more than 50% are reportedly going against the right.<br><br>How will it feel to figure out that you alienated slightly over 25% of the voters in the country before you even started?

				*chuckles softly*<br><br>It's interesting to note that Tom Clancy's novel "Debt of Honour", <strong>published in 1996</strong>, features a Boeing 747 being crashed into the US capitol building in Washington DC, in what was effectively a decapitation strike, just after Jack Ryan was confirmed as Vice President.

				*snuggles Rose back* Thanks, I'm a snuggler... wait until Winter rolls around! lol<br><br>Me? In charge? You couldn't pay me enough... you couldn't get me to do it if you held a tactical nuke to my head... go ahead and press the button. I'll leave political conversations for private messages or other venues. I have a strict policy against getting into real discussions about:<br><br>1. Politics<br>2. Religion<br>3. Nascar (or soccer in Europe).<br><br>Why? Because people tend to get highly aggitated, angry and there is no real way to get someone to say, "You know... you may have a point there." or even, "Ok, that's your view and I'll let you have it." ;) In short, it almost always becomes an argument that has no end and I don't believe in the no-win situation. hehehe<br><br>Yeah, I do remember those books and I have wondered about Debt of Honor and the similarities to other events... for similar reasons, I refuse to watch CNN because they have tended to give me the impression that they want to help out terrorist by actually pointing out things for them. "As you see, this corner of the Maryland Neuclear power plant's fense line has a big hole in it and if you look just over there, the door to the spent rod storage bay has rusted off... this would be a grave risk if terrorist were to attack this powerplant." As some writer or other pointed out, terrorist watch CNN too... hell, the intelligence community sometimes get it's information from the news networks too. lol

				I'm not too sure what to do about drop-outs.<br><br>Like I said, I was going to move all the unused and/or dropped characters into the NPC thread.

				Let's timeskip then. <br><br>As for Dr. Chance, I think she still would excist but just in the background. Lena shares her room with her so I would still mention Madison from time to time. I think the other characters, where they leave no really big loose ends just 'disappear', the ones who are very important have to be NPC'ed.

				Sorry for my delays, as I expected, settling Eagle in is taing quite a bit of my time and attention. I will get something out soon though.<br><br>On the question of dropped players and thir characters, I would really hate to see something destructive happen to simply remove them, but having all of them NPc'd would be a massive load for Chrys and I'm not in favor of that. She's suppose to be enjoying this at some point, afterall, right?<br><br>What I've seen done in the past is to push them off to the background as "Those people you see walking about but don't really do anything" situation. Move them to another bloc for now and they can be called out as NPC's as needed or adopted by new players who might want them as a quick way to begin play. <br><br>If they fall into the virus coma like condition, and there is no cure, then bringing them back out will require a lot of work to come up with said cure and rehabilitat them back to something that's functional, so it's a more difficult option to use.

				oh, the virus came to me, because once chrystal and I had a plan to infect a character making them be in coma for a while, so I think it's not that hard to fix, it's more a matter or if you have the cure or not.<br><br>It really depends on what Chrystal wants done with the inactive ones, maybe just ignore them is possible, but if she doesn't want to do that i wanted to provide options.<br><br>My ideas for the game so far only make sense with chrystal pointing out why they make no sense a couple of times, so I might be a couple of corrections away from an idea that works :P

				Well I don't think they have to be NPC'ed all the time but just to finish the current scene? Then they can the 'people you see walking around', until either the player comes back or whatever. It's what I meant with Zillah's character, Dr. Chance.

				The facility has been set up for more than 30 years. All that was needed before the second shuttle was released was to insure that all of the vital systems still worked and that there were no significant structural issues. That seems to of been the case and few issues arose that couldn't be repaired within a few hours. TheThe second drop was scheduled for 24 hours after the first, if nothing significant was found... nothing was discovered (yet), so the drop, in about 18 hours, is still a go.<br><br>Now, if someone had played out finding something serious.... but they didn't.

				Also, Dasha, they are currently running with a skeleton staff. That means no-one gets any one to relieve them on watch duty. Having the shuttle come down the next day, (actually, I was thinking of bringing it down early, you'll find out why) means that the base is very quickly going to get better staffed.

There will be a welcoming committee outside the base waiting for you all, and to help unload the shuttle.<br><br>Several important things to note and that you may wish to include your characters' reactions to in youir opening posts:<br><br>1) You are on a NEW WORLD! Be awe struck!<br>2) There isn't much air and what there is will kill you. You are therefore wearing a pressurised environment suit.<br>3) The sky is PINK, and the ground is ORANGE!<br>4) You have only been out of deep sleep for a few hours - the last thing you remember was climbing into a sleep pod as the ship orbited Earth.<br>5) The shuttle ride down was a bit like riding a roller coaster but without any rails under it!&nbsp; The ride started in zero gravity.<br>6) Mars has 1/3 the gravity of Earth. Things fall at 1/3rd the speed they do on Earth.<br>7) Instead of being the size if a ping-pong ball held at arms length, the sun is the size of a pea held at arms length.<br><br>And please remember: If you park your character in a corner and wait for someone to come up and say hi, no-one will.

Form follows function. So we have a plasticized cloth suit that has emergency seals at every joint, and a helmet that bayonet-locks into place (put it on facing slightly left and twist to the right until it clicks). The helmet is opaque kevlar with a perspex face plate and a tinted visor that slides down across the faceplate. Incidentally the cloth is impregnated with a solution that protects against solar radiation, to a certain extent.<br><br>On the chest of the suit are the temperature controls, oxygen controls, radio controls, etc. The suit does have a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that puts all the variose data relating to the suit onto the faceplate. The HUD can be turned on and off by clenching the left fist. If anyone needs to know exactly how it works, PM me, but I can only see that being an issue if you find yourself stranded out on the surface somewhere... Which may happen, if we get that far, but not in the next few Mars days, I hope. Let's wait until the cpace craft leaves orbit and heads home before we start making trouble, huh?<br><br>If anyone wants to ask anything technical of me, please do.

				So...... Who is going to point out the deliberate error in the maths?<br><br>*grins*<br><br>Seriously though, the calculation is a logarithmic function. The amount of fuel the shuttle needs to attain orbit would be finely calculated - hence the need to top off the tanks to replace that burned on the way down. The ship would have a reserve, but for every extra kilo of mass being lifted, a certain amount of fuel is needed to lift that mass. That fuel too has mass and so needs fuel to lift it, and so on.<br><br>This is the reason why it is so expensive to fly anywhere, why excess baggage is so expensive and why pilots dread headwinds. Every flight across the Atlantic has the weight of the aircraft known the weight of the cargo and luggage (known, because each bag is bar-coded) and the weight of the passengers (estimated based on an average per person as you can't weigh each passenger as they board). The captain works out the total weight, adds a safety margin and then runs that figure into his computer to tell him how much fuel he will need. The program to calculate the exact amount is probably available on-line somewhere! He can't just "add a couple of gallons" for several reasons - one, as mentioned, is that by doing so he increases the mass of the plane and this needs more fuel. A second is that the fuel tanks are a finite size (Which is what I was referring to in my IC post when I said what the shuttle's tanks hold).<br><br>So, in fact, no deliberate mistake at all, just a slightly ambiguous statement of fact...

				The image on the matresses probably got Laura in some way. ;)<br><br>On the weight to thrust, or fuel needed to lift weight, I respectfully disagree with both ladies. It takes more fuel to reach escape velocity than it does to maintain it once you have it. So, by the time that the shuttle has reached the half-way point to orbit, he's dumped more than 2/3rds of his fuel, and that loss of weight will increase the efficiency of the thrust as well as reduce the amount of weight that is being pushed into space.<br><br>That's part of why in the old days of multi-stage rockets that the first stage was lost so quickly in flight, it burned that fuel faster than that stored in the other stages, resulting in smaller stages as well.

The engines burn the fuel at the same rate regardless, but due to the extra mass there is more inertia and thus the same force applied produces less acceleration. Thus the engines need to burn longer to achieve escape velocity, thus requiring more fuel.<br><br>However, the maths is totally beyond me, so I oversimplified for the purpose of the RP.<br><br>And Blinkin, you are missing one important fact... I did the calculation <em>backwards</em>! I started with the amount of fuel required to get the ship into orbit (an arbitrary figure), not the thrust of the engines or anything. I then invented an arbitrary value fior the overall mass of the shuttle and crew, divided one by the other and came up with a value required in fuel to get each kg of the shuttle into orbit.<br><br>That value cannot be divided by half, nor by anything else, to give a value required to get the shuttle half way into orbit. To obtain that value would require the use of integral calculus, which I don't feel like doing. In fact I'm not even sure I could.<br><br>The Saturn V rockets used in the Moon landings had bigger engines in the lower stages which burned the fuel faster and thus produced more thrust. This shuttle has one set of engines. Now, I'm not saying that they couldn't be throttled back to save fuel, but doing so wouldn't actually save fuel because the reduction in thrust would simply reduce the acceleration which would increase the time taken to reach escape velocity which would increase the amount of fuel required....<br><br>The other difference is that this shuttle takes off from a runway, rather than vertically, and thus the acceleration needs to build more slowly.<br><br>However, both of those facts are irrelevant, as the simplification hangs on the fact that "The shuttle takes this much fuel to reach orbit". That fact takes into account the fact that less fuel is required as the shuttle gets lighter.<br><br>Sorry and all that. Please don't make me regret posting what I did?

				Hey guys. It's been a while. First, I'd like to just say that I'm sorry for leaving all of you hanging for so long, and for not notifying you either.. Some things came up, and I haven't been able to get on for a while. I haven't been able to get through any of the OOC or IC posts yet, but from the character list it appears as if you haven't kicked me out. Is this correct?

				I need to get an IC post up!<br><br>So, Blinkin, basically, you have thirty lines of spread sheet and you want to just input one number and have it add that number to the total...<br><br>What I described works for one line but you would need a new macro for each line....<br><br>My honest opinion?<br><br>I think you're trying to be too clever.<br><br>Use columns.<br><br>At the head of each column, enter the player's name, then in the cell below enter "=SUM(x3:x1000)" Where x is the column identifier.<br><br>Below each SUM cell, simply enter the results for that player as they come in. The cell will automatically give you a running total.<br><br>As long as no player gives you more than 1000 figures you should be fine.<br><br>If you know how, freeze the top two rows, with the names and sums in so that as the data extends down they stay on the screen. <br><br>If you do go beyond the formula's limit, Excel informs you that you have done so, but the warning is visual, so I don't know if you would pick it up, hence making the sum range HUGE!<br>

				Technically, it's "Brunch" and should be sometime near noon, Mars time. <br><br>The shuttle landed just before 0800 local time (8:00 AM) and it took between 3 and 4 hours to offload and move the supplies into the hanger.

The first meal on Mars was a fairly basic soup with some pretty basic fresh baked bread (what we americans call biscuits or simular type of bread). I say this because it takes no more than 30 minutes to produce in quantity and soup can be produced in about the same amount of time in the same quantities. If you consider that everyone's stomach has been empty for months, it's also probably all it can handle for the first few hours.<br><br>Back to the kitchen situation though."Breakfast" might be a more elaborate affair, but I think that there has been a misunderstanding on how communal kitchens work. You don't get to order what you want... eggs will be powdered and coffee will be a rapidly disappearing item and probably instant as well. There is a serving line, like a cafeteria, and probably a couple of options to choose from that has been carefully selected based upon research and records of personal taste so as little food as possible will be wasted. There is no grocery store for about 10,000,000 miles, afterall.<br><br>What I would expect (again, someone will disagree with me) is scrambled (powdered) eggs, some hot cereal such as oatmeal or grits, perhaps something like pancakes/waffles perhaps. fresh bread of some sort and a beverage that can be mass produced relatively easily that may range from coffee, tea, reconstituted orange juice or something similar to plain water.<br><br>For the short term, meals will be like this. Once foodstores are properly inventoried and the kitchen staff knows what they have to work with, meals will become more expansive, but it will remain a basic cafeteria set-up. I would expect morning and evening meals to be fairly harty, but lunch may be something light like a sandwich or soup (or both). Ordering from a menu will not happen until the colony can produce it's own food. This may take a few weeks for some grains to a few months for meats to a couple of years for fresh fruits. Some produce such as melons or items that require a lot of water may not appear for years. I do suspect that technology has adapted to produce faster crops with larger yields, but the vast majority of it is still in the form of seeds and we have 1 farmer in the form of a horticulturist and he also seems to be working on algie to plant on the surface and a very limited space for growing things.<br><br>I hope this made some sense.

				Hi again Kitty and Ambie<br><br>Ok, not that I can replace reading posts but I'll give it a shot to a brief summary.<br><br>You two just came out of the second shuttle, that means moments ago you saw the red planet for the first time and you walked on it (wearing the suits of course), there was a storm fast approaching and everyone that was there hurried to try to get everything inside, some things were left outside until the storm passed, and we nearly lost our first in command as she waited to be the last to get into the base.<br><br>While you can't post on the surface you two can check out the thread if you want to comment on your first post, given that V is a pilot she might have a thing or two to say about the landing.<br><br>Once inside everyone got rid of their suits and most went to eat breakfast. Of course you could always go get a room first.<br>-<br><br>Adding to Blinkin, (whose post I just saw) nobody in the current mission got killed off (players dropping out notwithstanding) some people a long time ago died on Mars due to not having their suits on. What he meant was that the first shuttle landed in the last 24 hours and there have been no deaths since then.

				from Wiki...<br><br>In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly, but not universally, traced to a poorly documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts.

				Thanksgiving originated from the first harvest in the new year after the horrors of the first winter in Plymoth, Mass in... I want to say 1692, but the date escapes me.<br><br>The first winter was spent in the horbor, abord ship and was reportedly extremely brutal by their standards and a number of deaths were reported due to starvation, disease and a variety of other conditions common to confinement in close quarters without proper food or ventilation.<br><br>It was celebrated with the local tribe of native americans (IE: Indians) who provided both new seed for mew types of crop, and their understanding of the land. As it is a celebration of the harvest... sort of like the origins of the autumn harvest that eventually became Halloween, it is centered around food and companionship with good spirits... and we do eat alot on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. ;)<br><br>Hope that explains some.

				Okay, I love that story...<br><br>Fact is, the first colonists were idiots! You do not go off to start a new world without enough supplies to see you through until you can get a harvest in.<br><br>The idea that the Native Americans (who were later wiped out) taught these "pilgrim fathers" how to farm is really funny! &lt;irony&gt;I mean, let's face it no one in England ever did any farming up to that point, right?&lt;/irony&gt;<br><br>Seriously, though, they were a persecuted minority who fled England to get away from the authoritarian rule of the English King. They were mostly nobles who knew jack-shit about farming and probably expected their slaves to magically produce food out of nowhere!<br><br>That persecution complex is still kinda hanging around some, isn't it...? *giggles*<br><br>Oh and the harvest festival did not become Halloween.<br><br>All Saints day was a Christian feast supposedly to celebrate "All The Saints" - an saint, in the original meaning of the word, being one who is saved, i.e. <em><strong>all</strong></em> Christians. A saint is also referred to as a Hallowed one.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallow</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">To hallow is "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate". The adjective form hallowed, as used in The Lord's Prayer, means holy, consecrated, sacred, or revered.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Thus All Saints Day became All Hallows Day. And the evening before it became All Hallows Evening. Shortened to "Hallow's E'en"<br><br>The thing with the ghosts and witches and such originates with the Mexican "Day of the dead" celebration.<br><br>And the reason it is where it is, is not to replace Harvest festival, which is still celebrated in early October by most Christian churches. It was actually to replace Samhain, which was a Pagan festival to celebrate the darkening of the year, part way between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice.

				Well, not EVERYTHING, you may want to leave the houseshoes with headlights in your quarters so you'll have lights when you get back... and there's a 3 bag maximum for personal effects... the first one was free, the second one cost you 1.5 million and the third was 2 mil and 50 cents (plus taxes, fees and gratitities...)

				Heh. Sorry, babe. Happens to be a fetish of mine, but we'll leave that asside.... *looks innocent*<br><br>Kythia, I think you may have missed an important bit of information:<br><br>In this twenty second century, the greatest advance in technology is one that was a medical break through in the second decade of the twenty first century...<br><br>In the news, late last year (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-18/paralysed-woman-controls-robot-arm-with-brain/4432994), scientists reported attaching a microchip to the brain of a disabled woman, that gave her the ability to move a mechanical arm just by thinking about it.<br><br>This is the dawn of a new era. Just as James Watt seeing his first steam engine move a crude treadle was to revolutionise not only manufacturing but transportation, and Alexander Graham Bell revolutionised communications, so the cranial microchip implant will revolutionise every aspect of life.<br><br>Imagine never having to actually pick up a device to make a phone call? Imagine never having to type anything ever again? Imagine never having to forget anything ever again?<br><br>That chip in your head will enable you to do anything you can currently do using your iPad or tablet or computer or smartphone, but just by thinking about it!<br><br>I believe in my original character specification, I said that every character has a microchip in their head (commonly refferred to as an Implant), unless the player can give mne a really compelling reason why the character would not have one.<br><br>As a reporter, I would have thought it essential - record everything you see and hear to a .mp6 file inside your brain (how useful would that be in a car accident, hmm?), then attach the file to an email and send it wirelessly to the TV network. Or isolate stills from the recording and send them to a wireless printer...<br><br>Anyway, I'm waxing rhapsodic...<br><br>Point is, your character shouldn't need to use a mnemonic to remember people's names...

				FWIW, the U.S. version of "Life on Mars" diverged wildly from the U.K. version because it was cancelled, and the producers needed a quick way to wrap up the show. ::) The plan (at least as I've read it) was that if it'd continued, it would've mirrored the U.K. version pretty closely.<br><br>But I preferred the U.K. version regardless (love John Simm!), as well as "Ashes to Ashes". :)

				I recall going to my first Trek convention way back in '91. It was a fun weekend, but I would of killed for a mattress... There were 17 of us crammed into a room with 2 full beds and I culdn't even get into the softer bathtub!<br><br>On the bright side, there was a special effects team there and they came across a guy passed out in the floor and done him up like a gun shot victim, right down to blood splatter and makeup. Someone actually called the cops and reported it as a murder! We were all standing as close as they would let us when this guy woke up, under the eyes of a paramedic team and sat up holding his head. It was ust so awesome! It scared the living shit out of the paramedics and the rest of us!<br><br>The really nice thing that happened was that I ran into Denise Crosby... literally... She came running out of the Dealers Room and ran headlong into me. She was nice and soft in all the right places. ;)<br><br>I ended up in a corner and looking at her backside. Some kid came up and asked me, "Dude, did you get her autograph?"<br><br>"Not exactly..."

				Sadly, I've only been to three conventions in my life. All three sci-fi/fantasy.<br><br>I've been pretty lucky overall with conventions. Dixietrek in '91, I met Billy Mummy, Mark Goddard, Denise Crosby (In passing) there and aside from the wierd layout of the hotel, low cielings and sleeping 20 to a room, it was a lot of fun. Billy was a blast, Mark was a alcoholic leach who tried to pick up a minor in the lobby and as I said, Denise was soft in all the right places.<br><br>As a side note, I had a crush on Sarah when I was a boy... it was the whole english accent thing. For similar reasons, I had a thing for Rachel Wiezt after The Mummy.<br><br>I've been lucky enough to meet Jimmy Doohan and Deforest Kelly as well.I've also met Stan Lee, but wasn't particularly impressed. lol

				We're as devoted to our pound as you are to your pound sterling. ;)<br><br>We tried to convert back in the late 70's and you can still see the occasional road sign that has both what we term standard (yes, the proper term is Imperial) as well as KM.<br><br>We have also been slowly, subtlely switching for about 20 years. All of our meds are in metric, one of the most popular sizes in bottled beverages is the "1 liter" and nearly everything you get from a grocery or consumables producer has to have both listed on the label.<br><br>So, I don't think that we'll stay just imperial, but we'll never give it up. Personally, I prefer the metric system as it's much easier to work with and I've been dong conversions for years. but a 5.6cmx11.2cm wall stud just doesn't sound very comfortable to an old carpenter... although men would love to measure themselves in metrics. ;)

				Women do too...<br><br>70 kg sounds a lot less than 154 lbs...<br><br>Actually the problem here was that petrol went over £1.00 per gallon before the digital fuel pump was invented. It was impossible to add that third digit, as no-one had considered the possibility that it would ever be more than 50p per gallon (yes I do remember that).<br><br>So what they did was recalibrate per litre and thus bring the <em>perceived</em> price down.

				Packing sucks. Moving sucks more. Especially since my new place is so small ... most of my stuff is going to a storage unit, not my apartment.<br><br>That, and ... much as I like where I'm moving, part of me is really, really sad to leave the old apartment ... and my life there. Just ... I don't know. This week has just been an emotional roller coaster. :P<br><br>Anyway ... I'll be totally offline Friday &amp; Saturday to get moved into the new place, so I'll try to get a new Dr. Chance post in sometime tonight. Hopefully, I'll have wi-fi and computer access back up by this coming Sunday night.

				Just so people know....<br><br>The distance from New Sydney base to Mount Olympus is about 5,700 miles.<br><br>The aircraft would be flying at around 400mph. <br><br>That's a 14 hour flight.<br><br>Those of you who have flown in commercial aircraft will know this already, but for those that don't, flying from London to LA is just over 11 hours on a jet aircraft!<br><br>From London to Sydney it's 21 hours. From Los Angeles to Sydney it's 15 hours.&nbsp; So a 14 hour flight isn't actually that bad.<br><br>And you would actually see a lot more from our Mars plane than you would from an Earth aircraft, because it is flying a lot lower.

				Ship is down. Please note that we have moved from Zulu time to Olympus time, which is eleven hours behind. We left at 10:30am, had a 14 hour flight, so at New Sydney it is now 00:30 (or so) on the 8th. However at Aphrodite Base, it is only 13:30 or thereabouts.<br><br>Player characters still in New Sydney can time-skip or not as they prefer.

				Just to clarify something...<br><br>The rotor blades were not disengaged from the engine. <br><br>If they had been we'd be stuck there until a replacement set could be brought out. As it was, Louise managed to get the craft on the ground without doing so, and only bent it a little, but the engine is now dead.<br><br>So there is a job ahead striping it back and getting it working again.

				Hey fellow Mars players, thank you all for the thoughts and well wishes, and thank you Crystal for posting something for me. <br><br>Friday I called my Cousin (who I call Aunt) to check on my Great Uncle, her Father. He has been in the last stages of Dementia for quite some time now, but recently she told me he had stopped walking, eating, and was barely drinking. <br><br>I tried my hardest to leave work early, my boss wasn't in and the managers that were in did not want to let me leave. I really didn't want to lose my job so I stuck around and at 3:40 in the afternoon I snuck out (half an hour early) to go see him, I got out to my car and called my cousin only to find out he had passed 10 minutes earlier. <br><br>I&nbsp; didn't make it to see him while he was still alive, but I did make it before the funeral home came to take his body, I got to sit with him for a bit and say my goodbyes. <br><br>I grew up across the street from this man (and his wife, who was my grandmother's sister, my grandmother passed before I was born, and my great aunt passed away 7 years ago.) He and his wife were the closest thing I have ever had to real grandparents. My biological grandmothers both have passed, and my grandfathers that are alive are not in my life. They took me places, they spoiled me with presents and food every time I visited, they took care of me when I was sick, and when my aunt was still alive I used to go over every night and play cards with them. <br><br>He has been living with his daughter for a few years now as his dementia progressed, she has been his full time care giver since he moved in with her, and on weekends when she wanted to take a few days to herself, or a much needed vacation with her husband and grand child, I would go and sit with him, I would take care of him those days, I would help him with his daily routine, bathroom, bath, food, snacks, medicine and I would sit with him and watch the baseball game because when he was with it he loved baseball but I'm sure at the end he had no idea what was going on around him. <br><br>I'm going to miss him, and I may not put stock in a lot of things but I will say I believe that he is in a better place, and that my aunt Thelma his wife was waiting for him and that they are together again. <br><br>So Rest in Peace Uncle Eddie, I'll miss you. <br><br>Viewing tomorrow and funeral and wake services Thursday. <br><br>Thank you everyone. <br><br>(Also happy Candy and Colored Egg day: Easter)<br>

				Okay so, here's the thing....<br><br>I once asked a preacher where the name Easter came from. He looked embarrassed and said he wasn't sure but he thought it was some pagan feast.<br><br>In fact, Ēostre is the Saxon goddess of spring, rebirth and fertility.<br><br>Hence the giving of fertility symbols like eggs, rabbits, lambs, and flowers.<br><br>The feast of Ēostre was supposed to mark the beginning of the new year... Oh, Happy Saxon New Year, everyone.&nbsp; It was originally on the Spring equinox but with the imposition of the Julian Calender onto the Germanic tribes it was put on April 1st.<br><br>When the Anglo-Saxons were Christianised, in order to prevent them from worshipping the old gods, as we all know, the Christians imposed a new set of feasts over all the pagan ones. Hence Christmas replaces Yule, and the "paschal" feast replaced Ēostre. But Pesach was a Jewish feast that the Gentile Christians wanted to get away from, and for some reason the name Easter stayed, along with the fertility symbolism. Of course the Christians took the sexuality out of it with the myth about an empty tomb (for tomb read womb, lol).<br><br>The moving of new Year to the 1st of January was where April Fools Day came from. The pagans were still celebrating the new year on 1st April, and the Christians were making fun of them, saying that the new year started four months ago....<br><br>So, Happy Ēostre, everyone.
