OOC Thread.

This thread is made to avoid clogging up the main game thread with OOC discussions.

Just out of curiosity, to see if I set my permissions right, everyone can see their own secret section and none of the other player's secret sections?

I can only see mine.

Good.

Same

yes just mine here, too

Same here.

Cool. It seems I did everything correctly then.

I kept looking for the invite on the site and not my email; how quickly my brain loses information it should already know.

I can see there are threads but they all say no post.

Welcome Fox. Yeah, since you had not accepted the invite yet, I could not set your permissions. I'll go ahead and take care of that now...

By the way, I don't see any of the threads now, including mine.

I still see my secret thread, just fyi

Me too! Just my secret thread which is how it's supposed to work, I think

Should be fixed.

I wanted to keep everyone informed on the progress.

I have 1 trouble and a few [No]vice traits left to assign. But everything else is pretty much done. We should definitely be able to officially start this game at some point during the week.

Yeah. Looking forward to it

Good news, today was a relatively slow work day and I got really inspired for some odd reason sitting at work with very little to do... So I've completed all the character sheets. I've taken some liberties with the traits, some are a bit broader than I'd normally allow in games, but given the one-shot nature of the game, and the fact that rolling might allow you to recover your memories faster, I think it'll be okay.

Also, given the fact that you had little input on your character creation, and still want you to feel some level of attachment to your characters and/or the game. I was thinking of getting you involved to fill in details or minor plot developments. For example I might say: Looks like a critical component of your FTL drive has burnt out! What's the name of that components, and how many hours do you think it'll take you to fix it?" That's your cue to take some narrative control and go crazy with your techno-babble.

I'm trying something, not sure if it'll work, but hopefully we'll all have fun.

Last thing I really need to do right now is redraw a diagram of the ship. I'm not too happy with the original one I've made, and since I got caught up in finishing the characters early, I think I can afford to take some time to re-work that.

Cool with me!

Sounds neat. Looking forwards to the game.

This is a really cool idea; looking forward to playing!

I'm submit a character sheet with an avatar shortly and then begin postings.

ok

Not gonna lie, the mechanical arm surprised me a bit as I had already prepared something else for the "accident" in your background, but it's fine. It could have been a really bad accident...

I'm fine if the traits are also related to the accident, since the arm is mostly dressing. Pile it on. I can take it.

A bit of bad news, squadfather44 has bowed out as his work load has suddenly increased. Not sure if I should rework the traits so one of you can have a medic, or if I should try to recruit a new player instead.

Maybe try for 36 hours to recruit then adapt if necessary?

Would it work with one of us taking the medic in addition to their character? Or does the memory loss thing make it impossible?

The font is evocative, but GP mobile doesn't handle it well.

As I said, I could shuffle some traits to make one of you a doctor in addition to your regular role/occupation. I wouldn't tell you which one of you has become become a doc though, as part of the amnesia gimmick...

@ Qralloq: Damn, I was afraid this would happen...

Edit: for those of you on mobile who could not read the original test, here it is in normal font.

Did my character learn her name? And was there anything else in her footlocker?

Oh crap, I completely forgot about you. Sorry.

I second that proposal ;)

Just them? Or did I miss a post?

Oh, sorry about that.

Boooooooooo. I am here

I can see all secret threads, but I didn't look

Fixed now. You can check the character creation thread on how I handle character creation for this game.

Also, welcome!

Everything's going nice so far. I'll pause a bit to allow for FoxRaver and Machiabelly to catch up with the posting.

Everyone read their notes and ready to move on?

Aye sir!

Yeppers

@ FoxRafer: You still with us?

saw the note concerning Squat's locker - if that's what you mean, ready to continue

Roger Roger

Yep.

Kappa Roosevelt. ROFLMAO! XD

I had no idea how long things were supposed to be. If I have thrown the time lines off, let me know and I can edit.

Six months, one hundred thousand years, meh

I swear it. I'm not the imposter o.O

In case those with mobile has trouble reading the text on Gaila's section, this is what the text on the lock on the lab door said:

Access denied.

Door locked on orders of Captain Frederick Lindswirth.

Edit: Oh, by the way, I had a great idea. If you want to leave yourselves private notes as to who you suspect the traitor might be, using your own secret section would be a great way to do that. And for more public notes, well I'll make a thread for that if ever the need arises...

How did you make the ship's diagram, by the way? I really like it.

I went on pyromancers.com. First I tried using the line tool, but the diagram would not save when I did that for some reason, so I had to redo the whole thing using one of the thinnest wall I could find (hence the shadow effect). I imported the whole thing into my google drive and added text there.

Cool; thank you!

Edited last post for the roll

Oh, sorry about that. I edited my last post to include you in.

Thank you!

Go ahead and make a 5x5 roll and then we'll see...

Excellent roll, 0!

Gaila really wants in that lab, apparently. :)

Murphy's Law: If you rolled well, the lab won't be important, but if you rolled poorly, all the secrets of the universe would be within.

We'll see... We'll see...

ten minutes awake, and already messing up keypads around the ship with sticky stuff, tut tut :D

This sounds about right. :) Murphy and I are great friends.

Hmm, everyone else still on board?

I think I'm stuck in some kind of off screen repair loop. Kind of lost track since then. Checking in once in awhile to see if I've been tagged.

Yeah, I know, you're kind of stuck fixing something for now, still good to know you're paying attention.

Those damaged parts are being repaired with great care, don't you worry!

Still on board. I just wanted to give the others a chance to post too and therefore waited a bit ;)

Still here

Hi. My sister, Candice, is sick and will be off line for a while. She wanted me to let you know and to apologize on her behalf.

Okay, thanks.

Tell your sister to get well soon.

Sorry for the delay, I was hoping FoxRafer could jump in again soon... I'll GMPC her for a while, until Fox gets better...

That's probably going to be told through ship intercom as Dimitra and Captain Lindswirth are heading towards the locked lab...

oops... I confused the Lab with the Workshop, my bad - editing now

So. You may or may not know, I have a traech and normally it isn't a big deal, but I picked up a cold or maybe pneumonia somewhere this week. Not Covid. My oxygen dropped from my normal 95% into the 70s. This means I am back on my ventilator for at least 12 hours a day for the next 4 days or so. It really saps all my energy. So, for the next few days, feel free to roll for me and move me along as needed.
See you next week.

Oh, that sucks. Get better.

Hope you get well soon.

All the best, @Machiabelly, hope you'll be better soon

Oh my. All the best to you. Get well

hey folks, I was looking for the ship map, I remember the GM posted it somewhere, but cannot find it anywhere?

Found it. It was hiding pretty well.

Thanks saevikas

Qralloq, what the hell? That's your third double in a row! XD

I'm laughing so hard right now...

I WAS SUPPOSED TO WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THESE CLOWNS.
BEELZEBUB HAD FORSAKEN ME!!!

I'm sensing the scenario is basically over. Lorenzo's plans for multi-murderdeathkill have been thoroughly and repeatedly thwarted by the RNG gods, and maybe poor planning. Kill him on screen or off, let's move on.

Who knows, maybe if you keep rolling doubles and collecting Karma Points, you'll eventually become immortal... :P

Yeah, I took my shot.

FYI, if you had went with my plan, I was going to unfreeze Lorenzo and split the money with him. But no killing the rest.
I was going to inject him with a harmless solution and tell him it was poison. I would give him the antidote when we were off the ship and I had my money.
Anna is getting near retirement and she is broke.

Haha, that's really great!

Alright, there was a request for that, so here are the relationships maps.

There was a sort of love triangle of sort between Siri Ahlgren, Lorenzo Ramos, and Joseph Cole. Though it seems things were more serious between Siri and Joseph.

Dimitra Christos was originally distracting some of the male personnel from her contraband in the starboard cargo bay by sleeping with Frederick Lindswirth and Pierre Cheung. Though, eventually she developed feelings for Lindswirth (who also reciprocated such feelings) and felt awful for "cheating on him" with Cheung.

After Siri's death, Gaila became closer to Joseph Cole, mostly to help him go through the loss of Siri, and partly out of fear of her stalker (see below). Had Cole not been murdered, who knows how those feelings might have evolved...

Sam "Squat" McGinnis was obsessed with Gaila Greyfox to the point of stalking her. The fact that he had stopped taking his anti-psychosis medication did not helped.

Anna McGregor sadly could not get over her Bill, and remained celibate. Though Pierre Cheung was the crew member closer to her age and she may or may not have thought about starting a relationship with him (deep space missions get really long after all)...

Thanks for running this Kalajel

yes, awesome game, and interesting system - thank you
