So, should we go back to the ship, get everybody on the same sheet of music...plus it will give up more eyes on the maintenance crew...and I'd like to get more info out of Mutt, but on our turf.

In reply to Darrel Cromwell (msg # 519):

That probably would be best. Running around with a split group without means of communications only slows down things even more.

In reply to Kheaiftouaw (msg # 520):

Yeah, and we gotta get the other dog-face ^_^

Tech question...

Have any of you updated to windows 10 and if so, has there been any problems?

I have, and the only problem I have had is using Edge, and that is more related to my spotty internet, than Windows 10. Edge tends to erase forms on reloading them, which is somewhat annoying if your wifi goes in the middle of sending a post.

I now use Chrome for most day to day stuff, especially rpol.

Everyone gets together, we discuss what has happened since we landed, check records, and try to unclustergoat ourselves. There has to be some underlying reason for our plight...which we might figure it out, or not, it could be something entirely different than we think...another angle that we haven't even thought of?

Then we get Mutt aboard, I have a feeling that might shine some light on the matter, maybe?

SOunds like a plan to me

Fast forwarding to the ship to debrief is fine with me (as player and character).

Sharik has some (very) limited historical information (she has a Who's Who DB specified in her original equipment list - who knew that it would actually come in handy?) on the Baroness Twyla Elgin.  While it might be public information, Shar won't share any of it until they are back on the ship.  Ya know, she is just paranoid that way...

In reply to Sharik Kaagira (msg # 526):

Out-frigging-standing! We actually got some data ^_^

Ahhh, I completely understand the desire for action....

And while it is true, useful time has been wasted, running off because of an itchy feeling might somehow offer compensation....

Really???

Anyways, rock and roll....

As more and more people join us, maybe we should all go and avoid splitting the party with different posting rates and all the other problems this causes?

  That or split the party for the long term; having a very large group with wildly varying posting rates causes issues in itself.

In reply to Kaengarr Ruzokh (msg # 530):

The main reason I was thinking it might be best for the party to stick together, we could abstract the time until Mutt arrives and it seems more prudent for all of us to be there, more brainpower and we don't have to play catch-up with separated party members.

  Waiting for Mutt? Or is that thread on hold while Khea's gets resolved?

I hope not, that might take a while.

For now I don't want to mention that we know that the inspectors were under orders to find something and that we have a recording of them.

What do you think, should we leave or confront the Baroness with the inspectors telling us that they were supposed to find something?

Probably best to get as much organized as we can, IE selling cargo, arranging for new cargo and getting ship upgraded...before we have a meeting/confrontation with the baroness...

Notice things are running slow, and a couple of players not logging for quite some time.

It's been a bit slow for myself also, RL a bummer sometimes.

You are probably not seeing the other topic. We are having a confrontation with her right now.

Oh...I'm aboard ship, just finishing talking with Mutt and discussing the baroness situation....you guys left.

  I think a big part of the slowdown is that this sort of "locked out of the system" scenario doesn't work too well in a PBPost context. The sort of things that come to mind for Kaengarr to do are essentially off the table right now.

I was just thinking the same thing. It seemed such a good idea... at the time. I probably should have been moving it along better. I wasn't expecting everyone to fall into the 'what do we do now?' black hole of gaming.

It seems most of you played a completely different version of Traveller than I ever did.

In any case, it's mostly over now. The crew has a work-around for the problem, a problem which will now just take to time to be resolved.

In reply to StarMaster (msg # 541):
Definitely so, we didn't arrive here thinking that all our basic functionality would be stripped from us.... It's most definitely an eyeopener, and something we should learn from.

And I need to point out, now that Count Cromwell realizes things, it's basically mandatory that he meets the Baroness..however that might work out.

slightly confused - I thought Kaengarr was with the delegation to the Baroness, not with Mutt on the ship?
