Okay, turns out Cass dies from infection because fishboi wanted to get her out of the safe tank. Moon, who's your new character?
Nobody. I die with my character, as God intended.

Sheesh, Moon.

It just occurred to me that, if the events of the story so far have only taken four or five hours, then if Cass were to remain in the tube for the recommended five hours, she would effectively be removed from the plot. Lol

I'm planning to have a break in a bit where some time will pass, which would allow Cass to get out of her tube. Also, you don't have to be removed from the plot. You could try to set it up in a way, where you can give orders and communicate with other stations from your tube...
If Cass can't come to the bridge, the bridge will have to come to Cass.

I started to say something about how nobody would accept the captain commanding from a tube in sickbay. Then I remembered that I've been asking serious questions like, "So while she's commanding from inside the giant hamster ball, how will she sit in the captain's chair?"

Oi, just because we moved the OOC into this thread, doesn't mean nobody can say anything in the IC one anymore xD

ROFL! I'm trying not to step on Marbo and Kendall, who are both in mid-interaction with Cass. I don't feel I can just move forward without letting them post.

That's true. I'm just a very impatient person but I'm not trying to rush anyone, sorry. But that's how I've ended up in so many games by now. The problem is just that nobody is in my time zone so I have long stretches where nobody is posting anything and then suddenly everybody is posting at the same time everywhere.
Mar 16, 2019 5:28 pm
I hear ya, believe me. I tend to be the same way. It takes constant vigilance for me not to just run roughshod over slower-posting players because I'm raring to go.

Oh man, do I sympathize. I’m super impatient. I check the forums way too many times a day hoping I’ll get a chance to respond to something. I’d go crazy in your situation, Spinach.

It's especially hard in a game like this one, where so many things have clicked to create something really special and satisfying.

I should open another group only for Europeans and people who can be active during reasonable hours... Hmm
Mar 16, 2019 5:42 pm
Another group in this game? You want to make it even harder for me to go to sleep every night?
Mar 16, 2019 5:44 pm
No, I mean another game with a new group. But sure, let's turn with game into a living world with fifty groups in the same universe that cross over and interact with/influence each other
Mar 16, 2019 5:46 pm
NO.
Mar 16, 2019 5:46 pm
(Because that would just be too much better than real life.)

I need one of those movie hacker rooms with fifty screens all around me and on each one I follow a different thread. Also I need those anime glasses that can flare up to be completely white

I joined a Discord server that was supposed to be like that. It’s turned a little too... flaky for my taste, and while all the campaigns are in the same world, there’s no interaction between groups.

If more people had signed on for Aftermath, I was thinking about running two groups that had the potential to interact/be rivals, but it hasn’t worked out that way. Yet. Depending on how it goes, I may do another recruiting push for that, especially when my semester is over.

It would be really cool if something like that worked out and it could in PbP but it would be so much work. Especially with keeping everyone around the same time IC
