Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

No, I do stuff inside the ship.

Maintenance on the exterior is someone else's work.  Probably engineering.  :)

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Blood stains and icky human residue, inside or outside the ship, would most certainly be considered Medical.  (-;

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Medical, however, does not involve the use of a mop on this ship.

.....

Suggestion.  Rather than continuing to pass the buck, why not simply wait until after we go through space (freeze-drying), jump, and possibly re-entry or flight through a gas giant's upper atmosphere again (scrub)?

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Does that mean Tylen doesn't get to watch a cat-fight?

I was going to order in a swimming pool full of icky chocolate for you to fight in and a case of beer for the rest of us to drink as we watched ....

I'm shocked by how hard some people will try to avoid work.  *shakes head sadly*

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Sadly, no cat-fight for you, Mr. Orgesh.  Though it would likely be a short affair, as Ms. Blake would simply shoot me with that horribly large pistol she carries.

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Some of you may be interested in this - a novel set in the Traveller universe, written by the man who created the game (and knows the background material better than anybody else).

In term of this particular game, it is a slice of history, spanning approximately four hundred years. from about 300 to roughly 700 (so 800-400 years in the past).

The basic plot:
    Jonathan Bland is a Decider, empowered by the Emperor himself to deal with the inevitable crises of empire.  In the service of the Empire, he has killed more people than anyone in the history of Humanity, to save a hundred times as many.  He died centuries ago, but they re-activate his recorded personality whenever a new threat appears.  When the crisis is over, they expect he will meekly return to oblivion.

    He has other ideas.

The Kickstarter is going... moderately well,   :)

Apologies - meant to get to this on Saturday morning, but then things happened Friday night.  Kind of drove it out of my head until today.  :(

Pardon my long silence.  Got stuck in a muffler.  That, or possibly suffering from work and lacking the energy to do much of anything else.  :/

Massive food poisoning last night.  Probably nothing from me today.  Will spare details.

Indeed it is.  Felicitations of the Season to all of you, and I hope that, which ever holiday you celebrate, it is a good one  and that the New year goes well for all of you.

*bumps into Ash from behind*

I sex, er, sixth that statement.  Happy whatever to everyone, I'm gunna unpack some more... presents for the bad guys, yeah...  ;)

*sound of wrapping being torn*  Oooer, explosive ammo!  My favourite!  How sweet.  :D


On another note...

Sorry for my long silence, work combined with the loss of my main hard disc with many of my files for the last year or more along with reinstalling Windows and (some of the) programmes have made me rather tired and frustrated.  Had not even logged onto here since I lost it.  Need a new drive so I can start making backups again -- feels like I'm sitting on a branch while sawing it off at the base.  :S

Re: Informative post - every game needs one.

Apologies for the lack of posting in the last week - I've been a tad overwhelmed and couldn't come up with any inspiration for things to do in the last situation.

...I'm a steward, not a gunner.  :D

My fault - I couldn't see any other posts from you on that page, and made an assumption.  Incorrect, as it turned out.

For those in the know, it's clear that Corlan is channelling Bilfro.

Bilfro = Stroke.
