YSS Celia OOC Thread

Tyler · Shoi

Can Ryoko join the celia?

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

Sure. The Celia is currently in the Anisa system. Transport her there and have her ask permission to come aboard.

What post do you want for her, by the way? I'm thinking the Celia could use another Intel Officer. Ryoko could be SAINT's newest spook.

Tyler · Shoi

Well considering she's actually a slave. that's up to you to decide.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

I'll try to post on the Celia thread over the weekend. I'm currently fighting off both the first wave of school assignments and a cold.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

My next plot reply will be sometime next weekend at the latest. I'll also try to find a lull between waves of homeworks (homeworks come in waves around here) sometime mid-week and reply then.

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. ^_^;;

Wes · Taisho (Admin)

No problem, Yangfanator.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

Celia post coming later today. (After I get some sleep and Wes answers my tech question.) ^_^

By the way, if anyone has any suggestions regarding the Celia plot (speed up pace, slow down pace, more NPCs, less NPCs, more/less anything else), feel free to post here or PM me.

Yo, Mr. Storyline. o_o yeah, you know whom I"m talking to. Could you please inform me of whom is of higher rank than me. So I know who to salute properly and whot o expect a salute from? o_o it's for RP purposes mostly, Taii Kaori being hardcore about being militaristic and all.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

Of course.

Crew manifest, complete with ranks:

3rd XF rank pins:

1st fleet rank pins are easier to read, and is basically equivalent:

I'll let you figure it out from there. Let me know if you still have questions.

Tyler · Shoi

Question Yang, I have an idea for that ship. Would you hear me out on it?

here it is:

The ship has no lifesigns on it right? how about a abnormal frequency that's a century and a half old leading them to put a small away team there? Instead of life...they find unlife in the form of the ghosts of the crew who died horrible lonely fearful deaths?

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

I'm actually pretty flexible on the plot, Tyler. But, (^_^;;) I'm reluctant to turn this story arc into a scary ghost story. My original idea was a diplomacy-themed adventure, with the main source of conflict being the planet being on the verge of nuclear war. Later, I added a spiritual bent to it. Um, I think I can get away with adding a ghost to the story. Would that be all right?

We can do a scary ghost story arc after this one if you want... Assuming this arc doesn't take forever. ^_^

Tim · Taii

Wes to respond with Wikkedson's actions so I can keep going. :wink:

Tyler · Shoi

Well what I had in mind wasn't a plot, just something to spice it up and arouse curiousity. Nothing anyone has to go out of their way for, maybe someone could reachout from the other side and tell the story what happened to the ship?

Motoyama Kaori · Ittô Heisho

I'm going to look like a retard, because I'm still, yes still learning the Rank system. But I outrank wikkedson, correct?

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

Oh yes. Your char outranks Wikkedson by 6 ranks, in fact.

Don't be surprised by his talking down to you, though. I remember seeing some Vietnam War films where new officers don't get any respect from their subordinates until they earn it. Mostly because the officers get the training and the education, but the soldiers believe that they are better than the officers because they have more combat experience.

I'm in no position to comment on whether this reflects what really happened/happens in the US Army. It's certainly true in the Star Army though.

I also have this theory that Wikkedson treats everybody that way. ^_^

New plot post by me sometime over the weekend...

Tim · Taii

Well wikkedson needs to get off his ass and tell me to do something so i'm not perpetually standing around waiting on him to say "dismissed" imo. Cool

And that was seen to a greater degree back in the 70s than nowadays. I'd say for the first year or two as an officer you get much less respect because you don't know jack but you're still told to lead everyone.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

*looks at clock* I don't think I'm gonna make my own deadline. Which is kind of sad if you think about it. Lo siento mucho.

But, I'm starting on it now. So it should be done in 2 hours at most.

Wes · Taisho (Admin)

Wikkedson thinks:

1) As a Star Army soldier, you're expected to always be ready and on time.

2) The Star Army provides the best weapons around. Personal weapons don't belong on a starship, let alone on the battlefield.

Doh.

I probably won't be making a plot post this weekend, since I got some serious reviewing to do.

I have a commitment on Saturday too. >_<

So, um, sorry. Yeah.

Yangfan · Taisho (Admin)

New plot post up... I'll try to get another one up this weekend, if enough people replies by then. I don't want anyone to feel rushed, however.

Comments and suggestions are welcome, as always.
