He doesn't have GM privileges. Rob never gave him those permissions.

No, it'll have to be done by the RPOL staff.

I can't think of anything that I'd want to change about Zhouth? I'm sure that some of the other characters would prefer that he change his aesthetic sensibilities, but that's not going to happen!

Then, yes... he'd need to get the Mods approval. Or host the game elsewhere.

In reply to Zhouth (msg # 685):

I like Teddy and Collyn the way they are too.

Looking for a new GM, if that is what you decide to do, will need to be done by you guys, I've been banned from posting to the GM page for several years now ;-) Never understood for sure why, so I never got it taken care of.

In reply to Theodore McFarlane (msg # 687):

Everyone doing okay? Vince? You alright? How are you doing?

So far so good.

Just grew out the Brown family to sixteen members so far. A Father, Mother, Step-Mother, two Siblings, three Half-Siblings, two Siblings-in-Law, then three Nieces and three Nephews.

I'm here. Just waiting for things to settle.

I'm doing okay too. Vince is the one I worry about.

In reply to Theodore McFarlane (msg # 691):

Yeah, I'm taking some steps to begin taking over for StarMaster--unless you wanna do it, Zouth?--and I've got an idea for using Rayjaynul & his Family as a focal point in getting past the current situation.

In a similar vein, those of you who acquired any Friends, Allies, or whatnot in your backgrounds, could you please PM me whatever details you have on them.  Now might be a perfect time for a few "ghosts from the past" pop up and complicate things.

'Cuz it looks like Varca's "Ally in The Palace" just might be turning into a Rival...

(Three guesses just who that pain-in-the-ass might be...and the first two guesses don't count  ^_^)

In reply to Varca Lexand (msg # 692):

Glad you're keeping busy, it makes it a little easier. You need to talk, I'm here. You'll probably be okay though.

For Theodore

Contacts:
Kasiyl of the Ahroay’if will be my mercenary contact then. Aslan exile.

Admiral Darokyn will be my criminal syndicate contact from when we were in the
Imperial Navy together. I served under him for a bit.

Collyn doesn't have any contacts.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Zhouth has a few contacts, but they're mostly related to his former research work and not really in any position to affect the palace situation.

Scholar Voha was supposed to be another, but we never really got a chance to go anywhere with that.

Well, it's always possible that -- just like Zhouth is doing -- some of those old "Back in my Lab Days" Contacts could be out wandering the galaxy doing "Field Research", or just Travelling for their own enjoyment.

And, given the current setting, now might be an excellent time to further develop that relationship with Voha, yes? (...he said with sinister intent...)

Theo...

We've done some stuff with Darokyn -- and will likely do more -- so I'll PM you about the Pussy -- I mean, the Aslan!!  ^_^

Well... per the last communication while we were inbound to the palace before heading down to the planet, Voha was all up on a high horse about the righteousness of Harrick's cause and how mean and wrong we all were to be supporting Oleb/Rao. Also, that the palace had collectively gone mad. Then he cut off all communication.

So I'm not sure how much of a contact he can be counted as at this point, other than how quickly he will make contact with the surface of the planet after he's bodily thrown off the palace after all of this.

This is where some of Zhouth's info on the situation came from.

In reply to Varca Lexand (msg # 692):

Being from so far away, Ingrid didn't really have contacts here. Maybe the ship she previously worked on if it is still in the area.

In reply to Ingrid Gustavdottir Sigar (msg # 697):

I'm talking about the Friends/Contacts/Allies/Enemies that can be generated when creating your Character. they are usually associated with an Event Roll (thus giving at least a minor explanation for how/why you gained them), but sometimes they are as generic as "Choose a Skill or a new Contact".  Depending on the number of Career Terms you went through, you're likely to have a few of these.

But it is possible that a character could go through several Career Terms without ever rolling any of these...

In reply to Starwolf (msg # 698):

Ahh.

In reply to Ingrid Gustavdottir Sigar (msg # 699):

Well, my request to take over this board has been denied--and now that they know StarMaster is dead, we can likely expect this Board to disappear momentarily...

I'll try an old Voodoo ceremony to resurrect the dead I learned down in Barbados.  Who knows?  I might just be able to bring StarMaster back... (wink-wink)

Darn.

Did you point out that it is not marked as containing personal IP?

(Suggesting that they look at this OOC discussion thread might also help.)

Just to clarify here: this game is in no immediate danger of being deleted.  We have been aware of StarMaster's passing for some time (there is even a thread in Community Chat on that topic) and, while inactive games are eventually removed from the site, that can take months, or even years.

The game can not be transferred to a new owner since there is nobody with actual GM access who can take over (old Voodoo ceremonies which breach RPoL's rules notwithstanding).

The only option, if you want to continue this game, is to transfer what information you can to a new board, under a new GM.

In reply to RPoL Moderator (msg # 703):

Thank you.

In reply to Theodore McFarlane (msg # 704):

There is hope, RegisP. now has ownership to the old 'Beyond' game Starmaster was running!

In reply to Theodore McFarlane (msg # 705):

Actually, they don't have ownership.  They were promoted to GM status by an existing game GM, which is fine.

However, in order to get ownership, RegisP would need to approach the Moderators about transferring it over, and we can go through the steps required for that with them.  It should be doable in that case, because they already have GM status in the game, and the game isn't flagged as "sole ownership".

But until the game is handed over to them, StarMaster is still listed as the owner.

In reply to RPoL Moderator (msg # 706):

Oops, my error. I was the original owner of the game and gave it to StarMaster when he took over. Then I promoted Regis when Rob died. That makes sense, nobody gave total statud to Vince or in the Star Seeker game. Thanks for the clarification. How do we migrate posts to a new thread? Is it possible?
