OoC Chat Box

Added a Panic button and added 1d to ☢️

Nice. The 🕹️ is possibly useful at the engineering seat for ‘STUNT.’ But if you want to be a gunner, that’s also okay.

Oh! And I never did answer the question of where I got the idea for the ship having 2 pilots, 2 gunners and 2 engineers. How Pinky works is loosely based on the Millennium Falcon ride at Disneyworld. It is effectively a video game. Gunners button-mash and each have one missile. Engineers are basically the party healers. My daughters were the pilots both times, and they crashed a lot. (Hence, the Ramming Speed button on Pinky, so at least in this game crashing can be on purpose.)

Ah, nevermind my OOC question in the main thread then, I see that ramming is actually ramming. :D

I came up with the moves before I took the girls to the arcade this past Monday, and I stand by the inclusion of a ram button based on my experience:

I played a racing game, and I used the Nitro button to speed up and ram other cars. (I think the game had a 360-spin button that was actually meant for ramming, but Nitro worked a lot better.) Anyway, I won 1st place* thanks to my reckless driving!

*(but the cheapskates set the machine so you don’t get the next race for free if you win 1st—BOOOooo...!)

Okay, I'm back!

I've levelled up Cassanova, assuming I did everything right... let me know. :3

@Tickettbror looks good!

Also, since you leveled-up, that means you have TWO 🚀s max, so there’s still one remaining! I updated the status update.

Welcome back, Commander! :D

@Tickettbror , I know you’re just back from vacation. If you haven’t had a chance to catch up yet, the only action asked of you is to 🕹️DODGE.

I plan to post tomorrow if your post is up. Or if you need me to hold off another day or two, please let me know, Tickettbror. I love how you created Pinky, and now she’s a major part of the game, so I don’t want to move ahead without you.

If you want to move on and want a roll of dodge, feel free to roll for Cass. This weekend has been pretty busy and I may not be able to catch up till tomorrow / don't want to hold anyone back!

So how does Pinky look like? Because it is describes it has a caboose?

Honestly, I just didn’t feel like saying "aft."

I’ll leave the specific look up to our Space Commander!

It’s the first day of school for teachers, so I’ll write a post when I can. I’m fine with botting this round, but I did want to ask first.

I missed! Who designed this crappy dice system?! Oh. Me.

Well, anyway… my wife gave me errands right as I posted that. I’ll add more later tonight in a separate post.

...Inconsistency alert, inconsistency alert! (Jk, I thought this rule was unnecessarily complicated from the beginning, I'm glad we're ignoring it. XD)

My intent was "wait until it’s empty," but I can be flexible.

Fair enough, though it is a little confusing to ignore it mid-scene. But it's probably for the best, since coordinating would require more OOC chatter. :V

Yeah. My choices were to be flexible or to point out a rigid rule and make Ysolde redo her turn. Here’s my thought process on that:


The rule was written for a reason. If engineers can work it so one heals the ship and someone else reloads, and you can do that every round, I can never crash the ship. I don’t want to crash the ship. But I do want it to be possible.

So why be flexible? Letting an engineer reload in a round in which a 🚀 was not used still means you can’t heal and reload one round after another.

But now that I’ve allowed that, there’s nothing stopping someone from using a 🚀 first and then another player immediately reloads in the same round. If that happens, I’ll keep the LOADING screen lit up for an additional round. (And because I’m flexible, yes, someone could still load the other 🚀 while the load-screen is lit.)


Sadly, this flexible side is me as a teacher.As soon as a student says "I’m hungry," I am probably going to cave on this rule! (But the ants are gross, so I’m gonna tell myself, "this is the hill you die on! It’s this hill or the anthill!")

Technically you can still crash the ship even with this rule, since healing is a roll and therefore can fail. Unless it's the kind of a roll where there is no failure, just different types of success?

And ye, ants can be a problem, can relate. The house my parents' apartment is at used to have them as a major issue for ten or so years, and I always felt bad upon seeing them in my coffee. D: You'd think they'd learn not to go near mugs eventually.
(I don't think being inflexible at times is necessarily a problem. Sometimes you just gotta stick to the plan! And this rule sounds pretty reasonable.)

Okay, finally caught up! I should be able to post soon :p
