*grin*  Well, ya know...some people tend to shoot their mouth off when confronted with new and unknown people.  Others just shoot, period...:D

Well the question is what would I have done if it were an NPC. I'd shoot, I think.

Depends on how much you were willing to butt heads with the rest of the party, I suppose...I know Shard would have had issues with it.  I expressed mine, IC (PC or NPC, I'm generally reluctant to shoot someone without provocation and talking in over-excited riddles doesn't qualify, in my book). *grin*

I can go with that.

Tie 'em up, hoof 'em out the door when we arrive at the starport...well, 10 miles before, so we can be long gone by the time they arrive.  :D

You can all relax, because the player has decided to quit the game, which is a shame.

Erm.  I wasn't personally having an issue with the character.  Shard did.

I was merely commenting that even had the character been an NPC, Shard would have not been happy with shooting her.

And my apologies if anything I said contributed to this decision, OOC-wise.  :(  It certainly wasn't my intent.

Personally, I think msg #245 was clear enough.

Bummer.
Now I feel guilty.

It occurs to me that combat summaries could be made much more easily if I just post:

*whooooooosh!*pew*pew*pew*pew*pew*pewpewpew* "Aaiiieeee!" *kaaaboom!* "Aaaagh!" *crash!* "Oof!" *thud! *splat!*

Makes just as much sense to me, and I find myself actually making those noises while I'm typing, so...

Hee hee hee...

So far we're short on 'vvwwwrowww, vvrow-FZZZT!'

So, did Zaerd actually charge us a deposit on top of the quoted fee?  Or was the deposit part of the fee?  because I don't remember any discussion of a deposit...

(Either way, I'm good with it, I'm just trying to clarify because it could have some effect on how I'd react to the current situation...mostly to Shard's insistence on sharing the cost, if the deposit was something that I'd already paid for...)

The deposit would have been included in the fee.  He clearly wasn't expecting much trouble on the road.

*grin*  Well, in that case...

Figure I'll wait for Shard to get a response in on all of this before I go ahead and charge up the ramp...dunno how athletic her character's supposed to be, so I'm not going to dictate our speed across the tarmac.

Go on... drag her by one arm!  By a leg, if you have to!  She's tough!    :p

I just want to know if I actually do need to drag her, or if she's tough enough that I'm actually pushed a little bit.  So I'll let her sound off about that.

Arrgh.  Did I forget to post?

I'll see about posting today.  Sorry!

O_o

How kind of you.  These bones are a little more brittle than they were a decade or two ago.

:)

Anyway - short post, just to keep things moving.

*wanders off to read the Tales From The Floating Vagabond... *

So, just where would operation of the turret weapons fall on our character sheets?  I've had GMs regard is as a Dex thing, others as Mec...just want to know which pool of dice I'd be diving into if I decided to go for the guns...*grin*

I have that skill listed on Mechanical Starship Gunnery

...I don't.

:(

Neither do I...which was why I was asking.  I don't have Gunnery anywhere (though I do have Vehicle Blasters, even though I haven't added anything to it.  Always regarded 'Vehicle' and 'Starship' as different categories, however...but I wanted to make sure.)

You're probably still a better shot than me, so by all means.  :)
