In reply to Gargoyle (msg # 61):

In garrison anyone that has what is called BAH/BAQ, IE lives of post or in on post housting (not the barracks), is supposed to pay for their food. Thats Military Regulation. Now, in most cases it's hard to tell which enlisted soldiers live in the barracks or out, so only officer's and senior enlisted paid.

On naval vessels enlisted and officers rarely ate together as there are on most US naval ships two messes, an officers mess and an enlisted mess. I am not sure how paying worked when out to sea, and never thought to ask my cousin who served on a naval ship.


 Well in all the sci fi stuff they eat together except for command officers. Which is how i have been running this game. But dam. see this is why i needed a full time navy advisor. lol

You are stuck with a couple Army pukes.  I have navy friends though, that I can ask.  Gamers even, so they understand research.

I would have pilots eating separate from maintenance crews and such.. well, and maybe not.  *shrug*

The O-Club is a nice option.

Heh, in every game I have ever ran, I always have said 'Whatever works for the game'. I say keep it like the anime, mostly.

As a side note, I have no idea how much money Skyrah has now. I don't think I've updated it in awhile, though I know she's not spent any since joining the game. HEr character sheet has a decent amount on it though.

Re: New Out of Character Thread

well the gambit is modified from the standard Chimera class. despite it being the second of its class off the assembly line.


   I have friends in the navy. I am just not able to visit them as much and unless something vital comes up, i rarely think about it. I kinda just have everyone separate themselves in the mess on their own. friends and co worker mentality. why would you eat with someone you have nothing to chat about. Unless its the only spot open to you.


  As for your pay. I updated it while you were all on mission. I just do it because i have to factor combat pay and hazard pay as well. so its all up to date until you made these purchases.

  Joker bought your drinks and Mirages Dinner last night.

Mirage didn't have money noted until I put it in, with a little research on pay rates.

Ah, so then the amount on my character sheet is right then! Sweet.

I don't think Skyrah paid for her stuff yet.

Re: New Out of Character Thread

I was waiting to find out what skyrah was purchasing to give a price.


 Well starting pay should be on each OCC with a random out come since things can happen while in the various MOS training school.

  The GEK have only just begun receiving funds since they were assigned to the Gambit and its mission.

Re: New Out of Character Thread

I got it from the wiki, base pay, and the sheet said start with 3 months pay.  I am a bad person to leave multiple references with.

If you feel you need to change it, change it.

Re: New Out of Character Thread

Everyone - ok, first apologies everyone. I have been busy these last few days as i am setting up a bunch of stuff for a travel youtube channel. And yes thank you Silas i know i have been making you work hard.

  And i have been looking for a new job for the reminder of winter.

  Now finish up in the MA thread and return to the Gambit. You only have about ten hours before you have to report for duty. I am giving everyone a couple short days to post in the Gambit thread because i want to give Karma and the others a post to interact. Silas and Karma, if you want a long conversation that take a hundred post, please do so in private messages.

  Like wise when Kaarle returns to Gambit he will instantly be informed of Karma's release and is cleared for duty. She is in her quarters if you want to find her.

  ok wargames is not yet cleared to go. so do not post there till its time. but if you have questions please feel free to ask them here.

Good luck with that, 30 mins of 1080p HD video will net you a 3 gig upload. My net isn't slow, but it'll take it a good chunk out of a day to get those through.

What were you planning to upload?

Also, Martial arts class. Is that going to happen at a later date or was it the same day?

In reply to Miriana Thakun (msg # 78):

  I am working on my Travel Stuff (blog and youtube channel). I am planning a long term travel and I want to document it. We did get the first video posted but its is so horrible its funny. But its up and likely gonna get replaced.


  Martial Arts classes? I am assuming you mean on the Marcus Antonius, its an in game back story. something for your characters to do, with occasional use in the in-between game missions. Michelle took belly dancing because she likes to be seductive and she sees her body as a work of art where Skyrah draws and plays a flute. Several characters spend lots of time in the gym. And i may reward these actions as we go. Also if you practice a skill constantly and its in the story as being actively proactive in the practice I will likely let you learn the skill at base level. But it take time and practice. Dancing.


  Martial arts classes will no effect on players with hand to hand expert or higher. Until you have been doing it for several years. but its an ingame activity. You can also join some of the clubs on the Gambit where various marines and naval personnel get together.

Well, Miriana has higher, but she did it to familiarize herself with Micronian fighting styles to complement her own... Or at least devise a series of countermoves to them.

Awesome, thanks rPol for gliching on me during my moment of limited time. I'll now not be able to get a reply out to Cerise until after work tonight. I might try to post on my phone, but it get's tediously difficult, and I may well be to busy. No idea. Sorry about this guys.

Re: New Out of Character Thread

In reply to Mirage Fallyna (msg # 86):

Yea. It sucked. Upset me a lot, then I had a stupid day at work which only incensed me more. I literally got home about 30 minutes ago, wrote a huge PM to Kaarle, Cerise, and Gargoyle which likely will not be viewed well, and am about to go to bed. Yes, only to start this again tomorrow at 11:30 my time (5 hours) because my oldest has a jazz band thing, and then I get to go to work right after and close so likely won't be home until 4 or 5am Sunday morning. This has gotten so silly at my work.

Which is why I got so upset about that stupid glitch.

Thank god I'm off Sunday. I'm turning my cell phone off, and will not answer it for anyone. Not even the pope. Gonna sleep in, hop online, and post all day to my games on here. As long as rPol cooperates. lol
