Getting the Ducks all in a Row

Tharrok’s ear flicks a couple of times. "I'm the pilot. I fly the ship."

Tamm nods his head when Leilani finishes describing her skills.

A dedicated Computer Engineer would be useful.

OK, we can assume then that everyone (all crew) have bought-in for 62,000cr each. This means the ship starts with 62k x 9 = 558,000cr in "ship's accounts". That's quite a good sum for a start-up Far Trader.

Also remember to deduct 'generic' personal expenses of 10x SOC per week in port to cover miscellaneous purchases, entertainments, and etc. Large purchases or significant actions (like perhaps taking the deluxe 3-hour tour) would be in addition to that.
When in doubt, ask! I'll try to remind you. Players are responsible for keeping track of their personal funds and significant possessions.

Good points. I think some of the new players are a bit 'boggled' and don't know where to start. I hope once this organizational stage is done we can start getting more roleplay oriented. When in doubt shoot me a private-message. Otherwise just start your character 'talking' to the other crew.

Normally in port the crew has one week to get all the business that needs doing done. Much of this is 'behind the scenes' and does not need roleplaying unless something unusual (ie, from the GMs warped imagination) occurs.

I'll be asking each player-character to declare 3 significant actions for in-port time. This is covered in the 'wiki'. Fueling, re-provisioning, dealing with the port bureuacracy are normal activities. So is taking a 24-hour 'R&R' and having a 'crew's night out' before departure. So a crew-members task list might be: Helping the Purser find High-Passage passengers. Hitting the Skid-Row flop-houses looking for Low-Berth passengers. Hanging out at the Travellers Aid Society public-lounge and hoping to get leads on high-profit trade goods... Each of those would need some role-play and a dice-roll. Coordinating with other crew members and doing things in a coordinated and somewhat well planned manner is to your collective advantage!

Two persons short, but yes, I think it does.
Those two must have been operating the camera and lighting...

Time-keeping is a genuine problem in play-by-post games. Don't worry too much about "time warp" for personal interchanges and what not. Our "turns" will be (generally) week-long intervals and I will try and "time stamp" new threads as they are created. If we get into a 'situation', which I'm sure we will from time to time, then the hour-by-hour and day-today become important. For now not so much.

I miss the wiki function from Tavern-Keeper. I did port most of that information over, but its not well laid out and is a 'jumble-dash' to try and find anything. But it is worth browsing through that information to get a sense of how things go along.

First real "turn" coming soon. Hopefully we'll get into a groove and things will get sorted out better. Yay!

Sorry about that ...
I for one hate clicks, so I get it

It's true a couple of us have played together before and I hate to see players feeling like they are the 3rd wheel.

As a player, you just chime in as you see fit. Most of us just say what we want and don't take offense. If offense is felt, just let us know and we will verify our intent. We love to play in character without the player being offended. But this is a game and we want everyone to enjoy themselves.

That said, just ask like you did and we will help to the best of our abilities.

Mama will now try to fulfill her role.

Oh, and I too get confused on where I am in each post line, so your not alone. We are all trying to learn this new site, so we all understand what you are saying. The Wiki helps a lot.
