that sucks.
I know! I want to get things moving again, and this should be a nice chunk of free time, but one of the other teachers has just asked me if I'll help mark and moderate some work that the students did on a trip. I said yes, because it was a trip to a place called British Hills (which I would have loved to go to, because... well, Japan), but didn't realise that it would Nix my expected free time.
But hey, at least I generally like my job. That's more than most. :)
I hear ya. That happens to me sometimes as well: I get a project that someone wants to get done, and then they start asking about updates as to when it's finished, or as my boss likes to say (jokingly): at your own pace. DO. IT. NOW!
You talked about britishisms (is that even a word?) before. Let me give you some australianisms, just to confuse the yanks.
Struwth. The boss is a bloody pom and probably one of the barmy army. Bit sick of being beaten in the ashes. Crikey I'm off to the billabong for a dip. see ya this arvo, I'll put on the billy and bring out the bikkies.
Sadly even some Australians don't understand this anymore. Points for translation. Before you ask the above is English...of a sort. Points for translation.
Oh and hi to the newcomers
I understood the majority of what you said! I don't know if that's a good or bad thing... But you didn't mention pashing. Is that still a thing?
Pashing is a highly intense series of kissing. I think. Making out in american terms , though stronger. And no it's not any more
Apologies, players - I've been out of action for two days, and will be out of action for two-three more, it looks like. It's the end of term, and as a teacher the pressure is on. I'll be back and posting again as soon as possible.
Gatsby
It's fine, I just went through mid terms, so I completely understand. Good luck!
no problems
no probs at all
I dunno what the new people built, but Roger's suggestion was my idea of a segue to get the new peeps into the group.
We're working on it, but Gatsby ran out of time, so I'm waiting for an answer and for things to return to the normal pace.
Bathroom break!
Since you brought up the topic
Something I thought of...how the hell does jack use a toilet? Is he like a bear and uses the woods. What does he do in town? I mean think about it. Yikes!
Wait, I have it. He uses a reduce infusion. Lol.
A few more levels, and I'll be large all the time too. I look forward to it. For now, I'm stuck with powerful build.
Hopefully Gatsby survived midterms and celebrated on Friday (which I think is a day ahead of the states) with some r&r.
Hi every one, sorry I have not been around to play,
RL and stuff taking my time, it happens.
I am hoping I have time now to play some.
:)
Wow... two to three days more turned out to be a rather conservative estimate.
Apologies for the whole week away - the end of a Japanese school year is a lot more busy than I was expecting, and I'm looking forward to actually having a day off tomorrow.
However, this does mean that after my extended absence I am actually back and reading / posting again. I won't be able to start posting in the threads until after the afternoon leaving ceremony, but I'll try to give a big, worthwhile update for everybody to set things in motion again.
Sorry for the delay!
Gatsby
Also - Sallrana???
yep, I had to take time away from all net contact and do some hard real work stuff, but things have eased up now.
Long Story short, I have had an RSI for a wile and it went bad on me, doc said I had to stop using computers and such ASAP and have a small opp. Seems to have fixed the problem much better than the docs where saying. Still have to be careful but I can type now.
Yah, shallrana's back!
Ahem...I mean welcome back pilgrim.
Okay, so my other PBPs are all updated now, but this one... well, unexpected developments.
So, Sallrana has appeared. Reappeared. Whatever, you know what I mean. With our new group additions that means that the party size has swollen somewhat - now, I have no problem with that as a GM - but new people, what do you think?
And sorry for being out of the loop for so long, I've had a week away and over a hundred new posts to read. Which was... interesting, so I'm still getting back into the swing of things.
The new characters are almost ready to be introduced, but were discussing potential plot-threads and ways of appearance. Although it was a conversation going on by PM, I think it might be better to open it up to the group as a whole in terms of Dart's entrance. Sallrana's reappearance actually gives an interesting potential introductory possibility for the new players themselves, so they may want to PM her / discuss it here.
So, as much as I want to, I'm not going to update the gameplay thread until I know what's happening here as far as directions, introductions and... well, and Sallrana.
Well, I've stated several possibilities through pm, and some of those include Sallrana's disappearance, but none include her re-appearance. So I'm kind of lost as to where to go right now.
Right now you are stuck trying to understand how the contracts in this place work, right? Are you doing that just for the information on the market? Cause it really seems you are not looking for something specific... Is anyone interested on what's beyond the curtain?
Also, are you sure Dart will join the campaign?
Yep guys if you wish her to have found you to add to the group that would explain why she was not around and give a nice root in for you, I'm going to get her to play a less lead role so your guys can expand you pcs
Also, are you sure Dart will join the campaign?
No, not sure - my absence was ill-timed, sadly.
And yes - all of our PMd possibilities had Sallrana having disappeared as a potential factor, and now she... hasn't?
And don't press the red curtain button! Terrible things will happen! You assume!
You've been warned. ;)
So, Sallrana - help us out - why were you away and where were you, and then Rickonni and I can work out a final lead-in for him, then we can get you understanding contracts, and then we can get on with the rest of the game!
I've been away for too long...
Again sorry for dropping out like that, I was in a rush and needed to head off to a real Doc and get things sorted. So the wish ment I had to post fats and get Rl sorted.
Sorry GM I guffed up your plans, Guys same to you, but I can post now,
one handed but I can :)
Time wise she's had about, 8 to 10 hours away form the group,
I think in that time and in the city she would have been trying to
1: Look for any Empire Contacts at all, once she knew that her group was not here. This may have lead her to any outposts or groups with in the city who have contacts back home. This would lead her to meet the new players etc. This gives them an in road, also they may have info for the others.
2: Find others like her group, asking around and seeing if she can get hired help. She has coin, so can pay them.
3: Asking about HoverCraft, do they have an office her or locations.
Give why the city is finding the odd ones may not be hard, but that's down to you GM, Meeting Rickonni and others in one of Hovercrafts locations or other depending.
bring in new players to the party and leading them to the night Market
Ahead of the others.
If the others wish to pop me a PM more than happy to talk in roads for CPs V Sallrana

Er...hovercraft???
I take it the text predictor is still working. LOL
Actually this really seems to add to the story. Shallrana is a lady of mystery, and John has found many similarities with her, though he is more a man of action type. I'm wondering if she is the same shallrana we had before. Very other worlds type experience.
As for the other characters, the more the merrier. Thinking on the last big fight we had we can use them. It was great not knowing what the hell it was, very suspenseful. Big, tough and tentacles. I think. Anyway...
Let's game.
I'm fine with whatever you guys wanna do, as long as none of you go crazy and start trying to chew on more, or something like that.
Same here, I'm cool with anything. Though I would like to get Baldwin back. ^^
Poor Baldwin... a worthy goal.
Sent some PMs please read, they are all linked
I am sorry if I upset any one for dropping out for a wile,
there was really very little I could do about things
as it stands my hands doing well, but taking my time not to
mess it up again.
I have cut down a lot of what I do online, this is one of the few things I desired to keep going as I love it
did not mean to course problems
Also I would like to see Baldwin back
PS meant Hawcroft
PSS
New player if you could PM me asap we can ask GM to ok meet and greet
if thats OK GM
Basically we have no idea of WHAT is there of Hawcroft or other similar organizations in this island, so it's hard to say something. If you want to introduce some secret information now is the proper time to do it Gatsby.
I don't feel like having the power to create some plot about this, but if I do just say so ^_^
Rickonni PM
Whoah there, Sallrana - slow down! ;)
Rickonni and I are still discussing backstory-ey organizations, so I'd hold off on the table introduction for the moment.
will do Boss man edit coming
And I thought I was anxious...
Ha, yeah.
PM sent, Rickonni.
Am I right then, in understanding that they barter in memories? If so, that's baaaddd.
Oh I don't know, I want to forget I ever saw superman returns.
Oh man. That's terrifying.
ya, but then you'd wonder what time you gave up, then someone would inevitably say "hey, you remember superman returns?" and you'd say "no, I never saw it" and then you'd watch it again.
I worked on that film gad darn it
You are right in your understanding, but they wouldn't take superman returns. :)
I don't hate superman returns. my favorite part of that movie is when he gets shanked by lex luthor. Actually Kevin Spacey's entire performance as lex luthor was awesome, imo.
"wrong!!!!"
ugh, sorry for the big breaks between posting - it seems as though all of my free time is being eaten away at the moment.
Can I ask who's still around guys
