I've found a stairway leading down to investigate, that's my plan Joshua :)

... Damn scientists...

Well at least Carter will be with you, and hopefully keep you out of trouble.

In reply to Joshua Dillon (msg # 722):

If she doesn't get herself in trouble being a scientist as well. Probably the reason why we are both majors and Dillion is Mission Commander

Hey, if you two don't behave, I'll turn this mission right around!

I guess Bjorn isn't coming back.  I'll post, but I don't know how I want to go with it ;/

I am still here Gang
Just RL took a side swipe at me

Kaspar, what post are you referring to about Freyda's defensive modifications? We discussed several things for this character, but I don't recall that one.

In reply to Freyda (msg # 727):

Oh, yeah. That might have bee before you took over the character.

We had been aboard this ship once before, but the slime chased us off -- we fled back to the SGC and spent about 24 hours regrouping and working on some tech to take on the slime. At that time, just before he disappeared, the previous player of Freyda had said that he was going to have Freyda attempt to add some defensive modifications to the hoverchair.

I, myself, didn't get the impression he was talking about mounting any weapons on the chair, but that he was talking about "passive" defenses. Maybe armor, maybe a shield generator, I dunno.

Personally, I wouldn't think it would be a shield generator. The previous player always seemed (to me) to be playing it like the chair power cells only had a little bit of extra power available.

But then again, I was never sure just what the damn thing can do! I've been making a number of assumptions -- that it has an onboard computer (Asgard equivalent of a laptop), that it has the Asgard equivalent of a "tricorder", as well as the equivalent of a hand communicator (with a few encryption bells and whistles). A few small cargo compartments, of course, as well as a "picnic basket" (a compartment that contains Asgard food & drink - I assume that the little cloned bastards eat food concentrates). I even imagined some kind of localized environmental control, which only covered the rider.

And, of course, it floats on an anti-gravity field.

I guess, in my head, I was thinking of some kind of retractable armor plating -- which works just like those retractable Jaffa helmets, y'know?

You're probably gonna want to get together in a PM with Star*Master about this. If he doesn't already have some stats for the chair -- and he should! ^_^ -- then you two can rough some out, I would think.

Not sure how much time I'll have to post between now and Saturday. I'll have some, I think, but suddenly have a lot of stuff on my schedule. Expected some, but it just seems to be that time of year! Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday.

Things should be back to normal for me on Saturday.

Happy Fourth Day of Christmas.

I finally have enough experience running games on RPoL to know what I'm doing now... mostly!

Anyway, because we are getting 4 new players (although we've lost 9), I decided to some early spring cleaning on the boards. This was mostly to clear up all the extra names that show up at the bottom of a post you are writing, including NPCs. The thing is, I can edit this stuff, but I (as GM) still see it all, so I'm never quite sure if I made things any better. For instance, I didn't see any reason to keep the NPC Dr. Frasier in any thread except the Infirmary thread. If I want to use her somewhere else, I can always change her group setting.

Also, I moved some of the older waffling threads to the archives, so hopefully you'll see a less cluttered board.

And finally, I left all the previous mission threads set for everyone to read. If you'd like to see them cleared off the board, I can always change their group setting and then anyone that wants to read them can ask to have his group setting changed.

If anyone spots any problems, just let me know. I'm sure I can screw it up even worse if I put my mind to it!

For Dr Frasier and your other NPCs, If you put NPC anywhere in their player tag, they'll be segregated into the NPC 'pot' in the cast list.   They are currently considered PCs because they are 'SGC Staff' and not (for example) 'SGC Staff (NPC)'

Can you clear the old PCs? It's not clear who's still an active player and who's an NPC now. I also recommend making the staff NPCs.

I see new names in the list. Do we have new PCs coming?

Yes, we have new players.

I was planning on deleting the abandoned characters in another week. I want to copy the characters to my computer... just in case.

I can change the staff entries to NPC.

Morning all,

I will hopefully be working on my pc tonight and think a friend will be joining as well.

Hello everyone

looking forward to joining you all for some "epic" adventures once I have my char sheet finished. :)

Welcome to the happy throng!

  "Fresh meat.. uhh, I mean, nice to see new players. Welcome to the group." P-)

Welcome to the teams. Hopefully Hilda will get a chance to meet the others.

Hi everyone,

I would be said friend.

Howdy!

Well met!

Hello Lucas! BTW, finishing my char sheet tonight. woot woot. :)

Getting close to being complete on my character sheet.

  What is Sannis Vektor's rank? It would help when addressing him in dialogue. I usually use the military title. Sergeant, Lieutenant, etc. especially out in the field
