Having people in this week.  So my posting may be spotty until Tuesday the 8th.  Please bear with me.  Will update as often as I can.

Thanks.

No worries. I've been slowing down due to work and the holidays.

In reply to Captain (msg # 574):

having a work thing.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow, Wednesday.

Thanks All.

As we head into the Holiday times wanted to give my usual spiel.

I know everyone's schedule will be off and on.  Please post as you can.  RL always comes first after all.

I will be here next week.  Will be around Christmas time.  Not sure of the dates yet.  Will let everyone know.

If you do know you'll be offline for a while, please drop me a line if you can.  But otherwise, games will be here.

Thanks All.

In reply to Bad Code (msg # 576):

Sorry folks.  Holidays got away from me.  Will update games later today.

Hope ya'll in the US had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Any rolls or anything that needs to be taken care of? If Rig has everything sorted out in medical then it's just continuing the salvage operations until the navy chases them off.

In reply to Captain (msg # 578):

Not for your two new friends right now, no.

For the salvage, let's make it simple.

Make me two rolls.  Engineering/Edu.  Let's see what you get.

Thanks.

16:42, Today: Gary 'Rig' Rigan rolled 7 using 2d6+2.  Rig is still awesome.

16:42, Today: Gary 'Rig' Rigan rolled 8 using 2d6+2.  Rig is awesome so +2 .


Additional +1 if it involves J-Drive or Power Plants

In reply to Gary 'Rig' Rigan (msg # 580):

I'll give you a choice.

You can either have cargo or spare parts.  Not telling you more than that at the moment.

Moving us on to a new thread.

Hello.

There has been a change in my travel plans for the holidays.  I will be offline Monday the 19th.  Posting will be catch as catch can until probably the 28th.  I will post everyday until Monday.

As is usual with RPoL, I expect the posting rate will slow until after the holidays. If you need to take time off with family, please do so.

Thanks.

Good Evening All. Hope you had a good holidays and are looking forward to the New Year.

My apologies for the lack of posting.  Things went a little sideways for my family.  I will be back tomorrow 12/28.  I will catch up with posts/games then.

Thank You for the patience.

Just as an FYI i'm going to be very hit-or-miss until probably mid-Feb. Work is kicking my ass and I just don't have a lot of energy to even sign on regularly. I'm trying but the results so far have been very lacking XD

In reply to Captain (msg # 585):

Understood.  Thanks for the heads up.

Take your time.  If we need to put the game on hold until later in February, that's fine.

In reply to Bad Code (msg # 586):

Sorry.  I just realized I never responded to your prior post.  Take your time as needed.

Hey Folks.  Have a bit of a situation.  Will catch up on posts Monday.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay folks.  Thursday got away from me.  Will catch up on posts tonight.

Nope, I'm good :D

In reply to Captain (msg # 590):

Sorry Sir.  Three day weekend got away from me.  I have to finish a little bit of planning.  Will be posting a new thread for you tomorrow.  Thanks.

When you get the time either an inventory of the loot recovered or if we want to hand wave it away just a credit total for the salvage works if there isn't really anything notable.

In reply to Ledo Typhin (msg # 592):

You did miss the notable stuff.  I have a inventory somewhere in my notes.  I'll dig it out this weekend.  But I think we can mostly hand wave it when you reach your next port.

In reply to Bad Code (msg # 593):

Sorry Folks.  Had a bit of a thing this weekend and just got back into town.  I'm exhausted.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow.  Thanks.

Sorry folks.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow.

Hello.  Will be offline unexpectedly tonight.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow.
Thanks.

Alright cards on the table because as much as I, as a player, loooooove throwing wrenches and curve balls your way I think this is going to be something we should strategize on first before putting into motion.

Given his interactions with Miss Bitch, Ledo is very tempted to accept the job and betray Malady. Comm Betty Boomjangles and make a deal offering them their lives in exchange for them lying low.

The smugglers get to live, Yanny's employers don't get the data cube they want but get to know how Malady planned to come at them and maybe depending on what is actually on the fake cube they could open up to a counter intelligence situations where they can lure Malady's org into a trap or something. Ledo get's his ship repaired.

So first of all it would be a question if based on their recon if Yenny and Betty are the kinds of people that can be negotiated with. If they seem like they're going to be shitbirds that can't think two moves ahead then probably not worth trying to do a complex machiavellian scheme.

Next is the question of how Malady is going to know what happened. Ledo doesn't really need the details on how Malady is going to confirm that Yenny is alive, Betty etc. are dead and the cube is swapped BUT if a double cross isn't going to work because of X or Y or Z then it is what it is.


Long story short Ledo is looking for a way to get through this with minimal losses of life and if he can spit in Malady's face for the shit she just forced fed him then so much the better. He doesn't give a rat's ass who wins the war so if Malady is offering him just repairs and shit pie he'd be open to a better deal with Yenny's employers.
