Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Headless;1001751Well I think I have at least as much experience at c fractional speeds as you do.  I am willing to ignore that stuff inside if you are.  I expect redshift will be noticeable if we look out the window?

Absolutely. If there was anything to see out the windows. I'm assuming you are raising the armored shutters I described (I did describe them? I'm sure I did) now that you have power? Ok. Its black outside. Windows on spaceships are generally pointless, but people gonna people.

And hey, I'm sorry I missed you at the big Near-C Pilot's mixer last year.  That drunk karaoke was INSANE!
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Really I found it pretty tame.  Relatively speaking.

Just as a reminder, if you ask questions In Character, unless you're talking to an NPC, I won't be answering because I, the GM, am not In Character.  Though I did think, way back in teh Cartoon Era, that I should be... taller... when I did.

Also I don't assume your characters are doing anything, generally, though I have to admit it might be tempting to do so just to keep everybody up. I'm assuming Finion is still watching Robinson work on the Port Railgun Bay at the moment, that or he wandered off to watch Ramirez throw a switch in Engineering.

Hmm... that almost seems harsh to me, so to help smooth over and ruffled feathers, how about some Slow Jams.... ooooohhhh yeah...   Best GM-DJ evah!

For play by post, I find it best to assume the characters of non-responding players are doing things reasonable to accomplish the goals of the more active players. If it feels like you DO need input from someone before proceeding, make it clear what input you need or at least that you are waiting (sometimes you want to be careful about prompting).

Is there a specific format to signify we are taking an acting rather than just thinking about it?

Since we don't (won't? for secrecy! :p) have PC sheets up, Player = PC Name Reference:

opaopajr = Fimion
Headless = Ailjandro
ffitz = Ernesto
Ras Algethi = Cooper
Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Not secrecy, just lazy... and busy. With terrible handwriting...

I got two more days until another weekend, so if they aren't up by then, they'll definitely be up on the weekend! Swear!

As for exploring, whaddya wanna find? I've pretty much given you the ship's entire layout (minus art, and trust me, you don't wanna see my art!)

I know, but your last three or four posts were one line IC questions for the group, so I was worried you were getting left out of the game, since no one was responding.  I TRY to be a conscientious GM... sometimes.

But I liked your art from before! :)

Exploring for more clues would be what my character occupies his time with. I am perfectly fine waiting in the wings while other players shine and accomplish things that move the adventure forward. I see current ship troubles like a Thief with a Trap/Lock; gotta wait for the specialist to solve the puzzle before we move along. Just biding time with characterization.

Don't worry too much about making more color, flavor, hooks, & layers when I go explore characterization. It's a GM opportunity for you to flesh out and seed your world. I don't expect every nook & cranny to be productive.

Astrogation mainly. Engineering skills in support to smooth things out.

My availability on weekends is always suspect, depending on things, Sunday evening sometimes works...
