oh, geez... are they gonna disarm us?

Anyone else seen the movie Oscar, with Sylvester Stallone... there's the scene where he's disarming his henchman... and it just goes on and on... lol....

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

Just realized I haven't posted anything IC in over a month, which... damn. Sorry seems inadequate. Partly RL has been blah, and partly I got bogged down in the wrong things with regards to my character, namely this:

He's looking to see what you DO, what choices you make. Not read reams on your internal conflicts and motivations.

I assume I haven't been kicked out of the game, otherwise I would have been notified*. So, I have a post ready to go, although I'll wait so I don't step on your toes, Lincoln.

Sad to see you go, Celestia. It was nice having you around.

*But I could be wrong. It's been known to happen. And, if so, I understand.

Of course you're not kicked out. Welcome back Yinyang. Feel free to catch up and post. I'll be posting tonight.

@Shade Good idea about the weapons, go for it. It would be very funny.

Sorry I moved them all, I figured everyone had gotten their own account and put them there by now.

Here's the new location.

can I just say again how much I love your Avatar, Ainsley? After reading your description in your bio.. then seeing who you chose as a picture (whoever she is) she's perfect.

Bah, sorry for the delay on posting. Currently writing it. Got a bit distracted this afternoon, but I'm working..

Hey Dale? Did you get my PM I sent? If so let me know, had some issues in the sending process for some reason.

Also I think we should do a third OOC thread soon? Anyone else agree... this thread is taking a bit to load, even on my moderately quick connection.

Ok back to mah post!

~Linc

P.S. I have to agree with Shade, I've struggled with picking the likeness of Lincoln, your's looks exactly as you'd imagine from the description.

I posted.

I hope I got everyone in the right places. We've all been having issues figuring out where each other are, haven't we? Anyway, I'll talk to Defiant when I can and we'll figure out exactly what he wants to do. He's still the Captain, even if he's officially stepped down, so I don't feel right putting words in his mouth.

Well, thanks for the compliments. I'll let you in on a little secret, though - I found the character pic before I described her. It's something I haven't done for any other RP I've ever been in, but for some reason felt like doing this time.

I have no idea who she is - just some photographer's model I found off a Google search.

And, yeah, a third OOC thread would be nice.

This will help - it's what I have so far.

and

Note on Showers and bathrooms: Firefly established the nifty fold away toilet - I believe all crew bunks to have one. "Passenger Amenities" is Bureaucrat for "Bathrooms" which includes showers. I imagine the larger crew bunks might also have the fold away toilet, since they have the wall space to put one it (and that gives the captain an excuse to charge a little more for them, not just cuz their bigger). Another amenity Lincoln and I discussed was a modification in which each crew bunk has a sort of closet in one wall - a shower. Small, cramped, but probably with plenty of hot water, since there's a handy heat source (the ENGINE lol). Anyway, just thought I'd bring that up.

Now, there's one more but it's JUST the upper level of the cargo bay, and I haven't made the adjustments to it yet. It's not as important, I think it can wait for now.

Bunks are assigned, but can be changed, they're mostly my assumptions + lincoln's specifications.

I hope they help.

Also - I know I specifically said Shade was by the stairs near the door, but Ainsley didn't specify exactly which set she came down, I don't care whether it's the central one, or the one by the door. Just looking to interact, mostly. Seemed like a good chance.

Mei is really hoping that the Alliance doesn't ask too many questions. After all, she's an enemy soldier.

There's something that I'd like to get out there - one issue I have had with this RP. I viewed this first part of the RP as a prelude, the main purpose of which was the assembly of our crew. Consequently, our priority during said prelude should be to get everyone on the ship and staying on board.

Instead, it seemed as if the priority was on RPing our characters - which should be the priority most of the time, but not at the expense of having them not get on board. Nathan's outright rejection of Mei is an example of this - it might have been the most likely thing Nathan would have done, but it didn't help us with the RP. I was actually thankful for the explosion, as it gave me a reason for Mei to not simply walk away.

My point is this. It seems to me that the last part of the assembly of the crew will be dealing with the boarding party. It might make sense for someone to ask the Alliance to take Mei off the ship for them, since she is neither crew nor passenger. I do have a plan for how to deal with the Alliance, but it depends on the crew not trying to kick Mei off the ship. So I would really appreciate it if nobody tried.

This is only going to last until Mei (and anyone else in her position) joins the crew. After that, RP will be our sole focus.

P.S. Any word on a custom sig? I did request one.

But... FOR THE LOVE OF EXPLOSIVES!

I have no influence on decisions, and neither does Dale have that power. But I wouldnt, wont and couldnt anyhow.
But about the getting knocked back thing-
sure it was a difficulty, but from my POV it looked like defiant was asking for lemonade when he handed you those lemons. Or maybe a lemon lime bitters, or something more unique. In either case, I expect, we as writers will all have to look at the glass half full on many occassions with this RPG and overcome dramatically bad situations.
Its all about the drama of epic come-backs :D

I understand your point Mei, but I don't think that was the purpose at all. It was more to get an outside of the box view and reaction, instead of an here's my shpeal, welcome aboard!

I dunno, I could be wrong, but that's how I saw it.

There ya go Mei. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it. Been working on half a dozen other things for the RP.

Wow, each sig turns out slightly different... lol.

I'll post again sometime tomorrow. I'd like to give Nathan time to post a bit. We'll still be going slowly until he's been written off. I'm not going to write his character for him.

The announcement I was going to make on Friday will be done tomorrow night(monday), barring another setback. I've been using most of my free time getting it ready.

I'll be PMing everyone, if you can't use the FFF.net PM system please email me at lDOTbargaraATgmailDOTcom and I'll email you back with the info.

Thanks for the sig - and the replies.

To be honest, I'm fairly new to this sort of freeform RP. Most of my play-by-post RPing to date has been within the context of a game like Dungeons & Dragons.

But... FOR THE LOVE OF EXPLOSIVES!
