In this context, it is "[...] having too great a population to have suitable agricultural resources for export. "

Thanks Baris!

That's a... very convoluted way of saying "we don't export food". Without going into why having a population in the hundreds of millions prevents food exports, but whatever. Thanks!

In reply to Countess Daphne Arslan (msg # 275):

They don't grow enough to feed themselves, they import food.

Oh-oh. That means we're all on the menu!

Remind me what did we actually want from the Aslan? lol

You talked with Guiseppe Balducci, the local world-administrator of the Florian League for Nora'a. He told you : "We are not having diplomatic relations (with the Aslan) right now. They are still angry that Nora'a used to be theirs and they want it back."
You suggested someone of high rank within Imperial aristocracy [I think you meant : yourself] helped re-establish unofficial, but effective, backchannels into the Aslan Hierate, preserving galactic peace and smooth trade between empires, yada yada.

All that in exchange for Balducci to remember he owes us a similar favor.

In reply to Beto Arark (msg # 279):

And Iryao used to belong to the league. Exchange citizens perhaps and resume trade.

Well tried, Yuri, to kick the ball forward :) But is the time right to launch ourselves in a big adventure, at the beginning of August? Shouldn't we wait until September?

Doesn't have to be a BIG adventure.

But, why wait until September?

In reply to Yuri Argonov (msg # 282):

Getting ready to try something I guess, Glorious Empire ish? Be patient. I'm slow.

Apologies for the absence, house move is kicking my ass. Expect to be offline for a few days more at least

In reply to Baris Dahl (msg # 284):

I've been slow as well, so no problem. We'll be getting a little more soon I think.

In reply to Nerull (msg # 285):

Who is still here? Not many it looks like.

I'm still here, preparing a post, in fact.

Apologies, but I need to bow out :(

I'm sure the GM/Referee will keep your character around for awhile if things improve for you and you manage to find your way back.

In reply to Yuri Argonov (msg # 289):

Apologies to everyone for my lacking. I'm going to close up and delete in a week. Happy gaming and good luck, sure to see you around.

In reply to Nerull (msg # 290):

Hey, 4 people who connected recently (Carmichael, Nicodemus, Yri & myself), that's not a bad team!
I suggest someone picks up the game and becomes GM, as for the "Naval Adventure 1 : Shakedown Cruise" campaign, and so the game continues :)

It can't be me because :
- English is not my mother language, so there'd be a lot of exchanges along the lines "I don't understand what you mean" ;)
- biggest obstacle, I never mastered Traveller and did only glance at the rulebook. :(

Anyone else?

In reply to Beto Arark (msg # 291):

I would gladly transfer ownership if you can find a new GM. I was just never able to handle this because of my personal laziness. I apologize to all of you.

I am notoriously unfamiliar with the system, and somewhat bogged down by other games, so it would be best if it were someone else.

In reply to Nicodemus Trask (msg # 293):

The game continues. We have a GM

And the game goes on!

In reply to Space Control (msg # 295):

Who IS at the meeting?

Yuri, Nicodemus, Khor'ruhn and Beto (via drone) are the 'negotiators' at the meeting.

Bannacor is with the 'liberators' at the ship: Carmichael, Oscar, and Anzha.

Beto is at the ship operating the drone, and Baris and Daphne are also on the ship.
