Re: Ship Shares and Skill Progression

Pfui. Don't know whether it's the holiday blehs, blahs, blues or busyness, but I find myself unusually lacking in time with unexpected lack of mental energy to boot. I get a few posts in (if I'm lucky), and then my brain turns to mush. Getting around to posting as I can.

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

I am also posting even slower than usual for several reasons, sorry for that.

Still, Merry Christmas to you all.

Hey StarMaster! Half these characters are from Tech-14 or higher ... "What's a tube of Vacuum doing in my computer? When I squeeze it, does vacuum gush out?"

What exactly is meant with shield system? Nuclear or Meson dampeners? TL15-TL16 Black Globes (which Khea probably wouldnt know)? Or Star Trek style shields? Do they even exist in Traveller?

Khea isn't really sure. She can determine that's what the circuits do, but, since it's alien tech, she really doesn't know what the final product is.

Welcome Morgan

Well, Sir Walter is a merchant/noble. Maybe you ran into him on one of your trips.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 654):

Well, in my 4th term of 6 (so 8 to 12 years ago) I had an event "61 Morgan is caught on camera in a space expose and gains +1 Influence."  Is Walter the sort that Journalists do stories on such that it becoming public knowledge that the two of us are doing business would improve affect my Influence.  (This seems likely with you being a noble and all, but I don't know if you generally keep your name, family, and/or station under wraps.)  If so, this would be a great connection between the two of them.

In reply to Morgan Randolph (msg # 657):

Maybe a Hat Trick...

The expose was about something between Morgan and Count Darrel Cromwell, Star of Stage and Tri-D, and Morgan, but Sir Walter (if he was involved with Darrel, back then), Count Cromwell's Man of Business, formed a relationship and kept in touch for a while, but maybe haven't seen/heard from each other in a while?

Walter is more of the background type character (like Wilford Brimley in Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins)

Maybe I helped point out some irregularities in the deal that you were able to bring to light.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 659):

That's kinda what I'm saying. What Morgan says his "event" was, was that he got caught up in some kind of video-journalism story, the end result of his involvement in that event was that he gained +1 Influence

What I'm suggesting is that 8-12 years ago - IF Walter was even working for/with Darrel that far back - Count Darrel got involved in "something"; he got involved as a Noble in some Planetary Politics, or some big Media Scam, whatever. Count Darrel, of course, was "doing the Right Thing" with his involvement, and somehow Morgan also got involved.

It doesn't matter exactly how, but he helped Count Darrel, and Morgan's involvement was a big part of Count Darrel's success. Morgan's part in the stunt may, or may not have been played up by the media, but again, that's not important, because it's not Reputation he got as a reward, its INFLUENCE.

 +1 Influence = "He knows a guy who maybe..."

In other words, Free Trader Morgan Randolph, for his assistance, received access for life to His Excellency Imperial Count Darrel Cromwell and his Man-of-Business Sir Walter Zeller, Imperial Knight-without-Portfolio. When Morgan calls or messages, you make an effort to answer. That's all. No promises. You'll help if you can...if it's not too hard...or too expensive...or too inconvenient...if you're in the area... For God's sake, it's only +1!!

It's just a thought ^_^

Hello! I'm doulos, I'm looking forward to playing with you guys. This'll be my first PbP game and my first game played with others in Mongoose Traveller (I've played games with others and I've played MgT solo, but never MgT with others). I'm looking forward to getting started!

I'm rolling up the character in a PM with StarMaster. Brayln Adone will be posting with you shortly!

Walter:

So, I have formal Connections with Verner and Sharik, because the GM asked me to establish a one with Verner to ease getting him onto my ship, but did you want to still have the backstory we worked out regarding Morgan and Walter sans a game mechanics Connection?  Cause even with the backstory there's no issue with you not immediately realizing it was him.  Back then he didn't have his own ship and even though he's on the same free trader as back then, he renamed it after buying it, so you'd have to have recognized the registration number to have known.

Has anyone noticed that RPOL now seems to show a thread as having new posts when you post - ie it shows your own post as a new post? Or is that just some personal weirdness I am having

I do not think it is a Chrome issue as I use Firefox.
