Part 1 OOC

I wouldn't necessarily say that Jack is a Face. Maybe a back-up? The only reason it seems like Jack might be doing well right now is because I haven't had to roll anything yet. He can lie pretty well, and he can tell when someone's lying, but I imagine Savi would put him to shame if we really had to put our skills to the test. And I wouldn't say that Jack's style will always, or even usually, be preferred over Savi's to the people we talk with. A businessman-like gangster, mafioso, corrupt politician, or a civilized gentleman on the run are all possible bosses for us to work with who would prefer to deal with Savi than Jack. Since we haven't seen him (out of character), Chusk may be the type to wish to deal with Savi. Maybe he hates Jack outright.

I think Savi being out of his element is a facet of his character that makes him especially likable. I'm excited to see if Savi ends up being changed by his environment, or if he somehow forces his environment to accommodate his style.

However, none of that matters if you aren't having fun with the character. If Jack's stepped on Savi's toes, we can certainly fix that, either in-character, or simply by me as a player giving you more room to handle negotiations. By no means would either be a problem!

In short, I agree with mcneils5 that it's too early to tell. I predict Jack will get put in his place more than once while Savi's social skills will shine.

Thanks guys. All fair points.

It's my first character in this system and I was a little worried I had put one together that was heavy on flavor and light on utility. I'm enjoying playing Savi and am happy to continue doing so. I just wanted to make sure my enjoyment wasn't going to hinder the group in the long run. Silly perhaps, but I had to ask to be sure.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sure we'll be fine :) If not, we'll all be making new characters anyway! Oh, and don't forget that Savi will be getting some social based talents. Those will be very helpful.

I like Savi alot, and I'd be sad to see him go. Its fun for me to have a talker that Avox more or less likes and another one that gets on his nerves. I agree that his fish-outta-water situation adds a lot of flavor.

I know from experience though that playing a character that you are not feeling is no fun. So feel free to alter him if you have a more fun idea. With GM's permission of course. So do what you must my friend.

Echo all of that...Savi will get his chance to shine, so don't worry about that. However, if you aren't having fun, I am always willing to let players switch into a new character.

Last thing I wanted to portray was a lack of fun. This is by far my favourite game on here. Having tons of fun.

Just some silly second guessing and self doubt. It's all good!

Hey guys, it's Christmas Eve morning here now so just wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm gonna be offline for the next three days or so....hope you guys all have a good Christmas (if you celebrate it)!

Merry Christmas, mcneils!

Happy Christmas, Mcneils5.

Going to be posting from my phone for the next several days. Just wanted to let you know in case my posts are brief or what have you. Hope everyone had great holidays.

So my phone hasn't been working the past 48 hours or so, and I've had a pretty nasty head cold which has kept me from sleeping. Just letting you know in case I can't post for a little. I'm expecting things to return to normal (as in I won't be living out of my car during this nightmare process called "moving") tomorrow night, but just letting you know, just in case!

Thanks, MoMo! Really appreciate the heads-up. Hope you can shake that cold; moving is bad enough!

Well ladies and gentlemen, how are we gonna split the loot? I humbly suggest we put half of it towards ship upgrades and the other half split between each of us. Or we can do 30-70, or whatever else people think would fit right.

We could handle it in character, too, unless people are opposed.

I'm happy to handle it in character or out, but I think in character sounds more fun.

That's fine. If so, I will be taking a far less diplomatic and far more "Avox-ish" stance on the matter. So forgive me.

Just out of curiosity how much damage has the ship taken? I was pretty sure we only got tagged by ion damage in the fight

You're right, I just went through it all to confirm: no physical damage, and the 5 strain was repaired en-route to the planet. The ship is just fine.

As we say in the cavalry "Horse, rifle, trooper". A dead horse is a dead trooper

My intent was that you actually do have equal shares in the ship. I'm sorry I didn't make that explicit! You are all valued members of the crew.
