Might the GM suggest Glitch responds to posts directly aimed at her in the gameplay thread?


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Oy vey.

Let me tell you what's going on with me. First, I'm not dead nor fading away. However, after a week of illness and a week of reasonably ill vacationing, I'm now stranded without access to the Internet (I'm writing this from my mother's house, which is definitely not a long-term solution).

Then, the team of electricians who were going to wire my house were in an automobile accident and several were injured. So still no Internet.

Other electricians are coming to wire my house for the Internet and -hope- they can do it by next Friday.

Trying to stay connected by iPad has proved too difficult when I can summon at most 1 or 2 bars at my house. Thus, I'm just going to be offline for a bit. I'm sorry, but now you know why.

Thanks for the update Moyas, I was waiting for you to post because I thought you were back. Please post when you have access again, and condolences and good luck!

I need input from the players, do you want to let the mechanic work her passage?

Also, do you want me to RP out the meeting with Moyas and the TAS rep, or do you want me to post a synopsis of the offer so you can vote on it?


Dev Vorn - 9769B5 - Captain - Alell (Regina Subsector, Spinward Marches 1706)- Character Pic

Ok, every time I try to post to the game forum, it tells me there is a problem, so I will post here for the moment...until they get this fixed. It has been doing this for a week or so now!
_____________________________________________

Dev overhears Jenni and Moyas talking about taking on another crew member.

"Well how good is she? Did you test her at all? Here, let me go talk to her and see if she is really as good as she says, or is scamming us for a free ride!"

Dev heads down to the lounge and spots the woman.

"So I am told you want to work your way as a mechanic. So tell me, what kind of work have you done before this?"

Dev starts out with general mechanical questions and if she passes that, he gets more and more technical until he is either happy with her answers, or proves she is a fake.

Sorry all, been dealing with a parent in the hospital since Saturday. Hopefully will reeturn to normal by this weekend.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Here is an update on my situation:

GOOD NEWS:
At long last my house has been wired for Internet and my service is on.

BAD NEWS:
My computer seems to have suffered total failure in the move, possibly from static discharge. So I now have no computer. If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have had no luck at all lately.

THE PLAN:
I have ordered a new motherboard and CPU from NewEgg. They should arrive tomorrow. I built the computer myself and so should be able to rebuild it. I hope to be up and running by the Monday the 27th, but see my previous comments on luck...

NOTE:
If this is a game I play in, I’m sorry for my absence. If this is a game I GM, I’m very sorry. If this is a game I’m supposed to be GMing but have not yet begun... it gets better.

Hey Everyone, can I get a roll call? I want to make sure the serious major outages didn't kill the game.


Male Human

I'm here, and hoping that everyone else used our mandatory two-week break to plan.

Here as well!!

Here.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Still out. But sorta here.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Okee-dokee. I think we're ready to roll.

After more than a month, I've finally gotten Internet access again. Seems as though the site's been down most of that time, so not much loss there.

On the other hand, I'm leaving on Monday the 3rd for a week at the beach with my kids and won't have any access out there, either. I'll try to catch up this weekend at the least.


Male Fighter 4| AC 20 T 13 FF 17 | HP 53/53 | F +7 R +4 W +6; +1 v Fear| Init +3 | Perc +7

I've been out with medical issues since Aug 26th. I had a colonoscopy on the 27th and surgery on the 28th. This was planned but with all of the site problems I didn't get a chance to warn any of the games I am in. I'm home and out from work for at least 4-6 weeks. I don't know what my posting will be like but I'm sure will depend on how I feel and how the drugs work.

I was planning on starting a campaign before the surgery took place for my DM's and those I play in games with. I was going to use the time before surgery for recruitment and then start the game when I got out of the hospital. If I get it up and running I'll let you guys know. It's going to be a fun next few days getting used to being home again.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Ouch! Myself, I'm staring down the barrel of Hurricane Gordon so my posting may be limited this week. Hope everything gets better, Warren.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Just a note to let everyone know that I am in the direct path of Hurricane Gordon. This should be fairly routine (I've weathered many such storms), but in case we lose power or I am otherwise out for a few days, that's what has happened. If you are in my game, stand tight and I'll be back. If I am in your, please bot me as necessary.


Male Fighter 4| AC 20 T 13 FF 17 | HP 53/53 | F +7 R +4 W +6; +1 v Fear| Init +3 | Perc +7

I have my recruitment up for my campaign here You are all welcome to apply.

Yay, good news, the permalink is working again. SO trade data is available on the link above.

I was hoping it would fix itself in a day or so, as this game is next to impossible to run without that website (or else I have to roll 50 times every time you enter/exit a port). :(


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

1. Did anything ever come of our WISH LISTS?

2. GM - would you please put the CREW INFORMATION as well as the air/raft, fighter and monthly costs on the Campaign Info tab?

3. The only problem with the Trade links as currently displayed, is that they show trade information with 3 parsecs, but Red Dusk is a Jump 5 ship. I don't know what the destination world wants. Can you do anything about that?

1) You can get anything that wasn't military grade (heavy weapons, assault armor, etc).

2) Yes, but it'll be this weekend.

3) Fixed.

Cargo for the Adawi to Amnuum Run

Cash on hand: 370.780Mcr

We have 282 tons of cargo space available. I’ll start by planning to fill half (141 tons) with freight consignments, but I’ll raise or lower that number to anywhere from 1/3 (94 tons) to 2/3 (188 tons) freight, depending on the economics of the particular port, and try to fill the rest with speculative cargo.

I further assume that until we get to our destination in the Spinward Marches, we’ll be making 5-parsec jumps wherever possible. Setting our eventual destination as Rhylanor (for no particular reason - that can change as we find purpose), Traveller map plots us a 116-parsec, 24 jump route through Lishun, Vland, Corridor, Deneb and Spinward Marches sectors. Our next three destinations are:

Amnuum (Lishun 0906) - B554796-9 (Agricultural world) (20 million)

Sproan (Lishun 0406) - C41298B-C (High population, high tech vacuum world) (7 billion)

Theton (Vland 3107) - BABA653-C (Non-industrial, high tech fluid world) (5 million)

______________________________________
Amnuum desires basic machine parts, petrochemicals and robots. Although we don’t know for sure, it’s reasonable to assume that Sproan will be looking for food and raw materials. Adawi (our present location) has lots to trade.

We’ll buy the following:

* Basic Machine Parts (Engine Components) - 14 tons - 60% discount! Cr56,000.
* Basic Machine Parts (Pneumatics and Hydraulics) - 20 tons - 15% discount. Cr187,000
* Robots (Personal Drones) - 10 tons - 10% discount. Cr6,000,000

Plus, I’m going to take a chance on:

*Advanced Electronics (VR Computer and Sensor Packages) - 8 tons - 25% discount. Cr600,000
*Advanced Machine Parts (Weapons Core) - 14 tons - 50% discount! Cr630,000

So we’re spending Cr2,073,000 on speculative cargo massing a total of 66 tons.

_______________________________________
This leaves us with 216 tons available for freight.

60 tons of Pre-packaged Food and Drink
60 tons of Prescription Medications/Surgical
50 tons of Advanced Ballistic Weave
30 tons of Seafaring Vehicle Components/ Mole Vehicle Components
10 tons of Protective/Specialized Clothing
3 tons of Food Grade Vegetation
3 tons of Combat Drones/Guardian Drones

That gives us a completely full cargo bay and contracts worth Cr1,663,200 in addition to any profit from the speculative cargo.

Ship’s account as we leave Adawi: Cr370,780,000 - Cr2,073,000=Cr368,707,000 = MCr368.707

Then let's put the pedal to the metal and head for the Marches!


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

This is a brief message to let everyone know that I am going to be on vacation from Sunday, 23 September until 1 October. As many of you may be aware, my wife is 90% blind from glaucoma. She wanted to see Walt Disney World through the eyes of friends who have never been (or haven't been in many years) before she can't see at all. So I, she, and 9 of our friends are all going to Walt Disney World for a week!

During this time, my posting will be greatly curtailed, if not nonexistent. If you are in my game, I will continue upon my return, just sit tight. If I am in your game, please feel free to bot me as required.

During this week leading up to my vacation, I will be very busy and may be slowed, but I will try to get a post out before leaving for the week.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Here's hoping you and your wife have a great, great time!

GM smashed his hand in between the truck tailgate and cap cover this week, severely bruised right middle fingertip (purple under the nail) and scraped a bunch of skin off. Hard to type, so sorry about that. Feelign better now.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Owwwww.....

Get better!


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Ack!! Sorry to hear, GM.

Hope your finger gets better quickly. I'd offer some of my pain meds but I'm using them currently.

To all my games :

Sorry everyone, things have been really hectic RL. After smashing my hand 2 weeks ago, my right hand (dominant hand!) is almost back to normal, other than the middle finger which has this odd numbness in the tip (I apparently crushed some nerves, so will need to wait for them to grow back). Additionally, as of last Thursday, I had to move my Dad to another assisted living facility. This required me to spend all day Thursday picking up, transporting, and assembling 400 lbs of new Ikea furniture (with the numb digit). Then Friday was all day moving him into the new place, and assembling the rest of the furniture. Finally, Saturday I pretty much slept through as I was in tremendous amounts of pain (working on a freezing floor and lifting heavy stuff with a bad back for two days). Sunday I spent all day again working on his room.

I had to put together more furniture, this time for my Mom, Monday. And finally, today was busy all day doing errands (groceries, etc) that I hadn't done all last week.

I will try to get all the posting done tomorrow. Apologies again.


Droyne (Sport) 6979C-

Take your time!


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Take all the time you need, mdt. We'll be here.


Male Human

I'm still here.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Male Fighter 4| AC 20 T 13 FF 17 | HP 53/53 | F +7 R +4 W +6; +1 v Fear| Init +3 | Perc +7

I'm around as well. It's been about a month since mdt has posted in here, slightly less in some of his other games. I know he was having some real life issues and I hope those haven't overcome him. We can only wait and see.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

He was pretty regular in my GURPS game, but that one has died, so I can't be certain if he is still on or not.

To all my games :

Apologies for the lack of posting. October was... not fun. Life sucker punched me, and while I was distracted with the bloody nose, Fate snuck up behind me and beat me with a baseball bat.

Things are clearing up, but it may be after the holidays before I have the energy to post regularly.

On the good side, it's looking like I may be employed before Christmas again, so yay.

Again, apologies for falling off the face of the earth, just... as I said, October was not a good month.


Male Fighter 4| AC 20 T 13 FF 17 | HP 53/53 | F +7 R +4 W +6; +1 v Fear| Init +3 | Perc +7

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear October was so bad. I hope everything works out with a new job.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

Quite alright, MDT. I'm well familiar with being sucker-punched by life.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

It has been a very busy week, much of which was spent with my parents whom I was visiting. I have a con this weekend, and I have some family business to take care of next week. I may be a few more days between posts, but don't worry. When I get everything straightened out, I'll be back on the action bandwagon. In the meantime, sit tight, or if I am in your game, please bot me as necessary.

To all my games,
I'd again like to apologize for the lack of posting in October/November. It was about 30% physical, 30% mental, and 40% situational. I don't want to go into all the details, but I really did need the two months to deal with life and recharge my batteries. I spent a lot of time running around doing job searching, a lot of which included driving for 6-8 hours a day doing job interviews in Houston, which is a 3 hour drive for me. I almost had to move to Houston to get work, as I was not finding anything in Austin.

I do have good news though, all the hard work was worth it. I had two job offers arrive within a 24 hour period right before Thanksgiving. I am happy to announce that as of yesterday, at 8AM EST, I am now gainfully employed again with an international company. Best of all though, I am not going to have to move to Houston for it, I can stay in Austin and travel as needed while working remotely.

My health, and the health of all my family, is also in a much better place as of this week (other than a really nasty chest cold that made the rounds in the house, and for which I'm still hacking up congestion from).

Thank you for your patience, and I hope life is going well for you also.

MDT


Male Fighter 4| AC 20 T 13 FF 17 | HP 53/53 | F +7 R +4 W +6; +1 v Fear| Init +3 | Perc +7

Glad to hear you are gainfully employed again and got some rest. I'm familiar with the cold going through the family, we all have/had it. Robbie had RSV and two trips to the ER so I definitely empathize with you.

I see the red is gone too, should have keep it along with some green for Christmas though.


Imperial Human F32 (32) I 4A8AD4 (Current: 4A8AD4)

No problems here. My life has been hectic of late as well. My wife's aunt got moved into a care facility and we had to clear out her room of all her belongings and put them into storage and had only 10 days to do it, all over Thanksgiving and with our own affairs to worry about as well. To make matters worse, she had important documents "somewhere" in her room (she had no idea where), so we couldn't just bulldoze the room and purge it of papers and such. Each document had to be checked for importance and either thrown away or boxed for later reference. We got it done, but with no small amount of swearing and nail-biting.

Also no post from Moyas. Wonder if we lost him?
