I can't say I've ever heard of PANERA BREAD, but I know the feeling of beloved restaurant (chains) changing and - in so doing - losing in the things I valued/loved about them.

Fantastic. I've taken note of the wiki and roleplay updates mandated by the Adoption policy, and will deliver on them.

https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=characters:yamatai:tachihara_reika RP Plans: when a character occupies the place Reika had in my plot, it's really strange to remove her through OoC contrivances when she has strong motivations of being around, and stronger motivations to be kept around by...

Sounds like a project. :) I recommend you bounce some ideas around with Ametheliana. I've discussed Mishhuvurthar socio-politics with her at length and she should be a good up-to-date subject matter expert for you to rely on if you ever have a need to.

To return to the initial question regarding the Mishhuvurthyar, their involvement seems unlikely. The Mishhuvurthyar attended the one conference, and it was the first one. To disastrous repercussions. I don't think Yamatai would even really want to get into inviting a representative of a...

Hello SARP, please help me get up to date? I'd like to know what Yamatai/KFY modernly uses as a standard for its: Airlock sizes Cargo container sizes Torpedo sizes Is there a standard for doorway/corridor/deck sizes as well? Dancing inbetween articles, I'm not sure... but maybe my search-fu...

I'm punctual as ever. x_x Can't get over "Ame, I want to know more about your tentacles" xD As a subject matter expert, I'll chirp in on the things I know, or established on my end. However, take it with a grain of salt; I'm not sure of the canonicity of my plot. Nobumoto Shinichiro...

I'm going to have to echo Frostjaeger and put my vote up for Engineer... or at least however you've renamed the archetype of the Technical Sentry. I think, for the average SARPer starting out, that it's one of the best occupations since it gives you something to do in the majority of situations...

I remember that, in the original Miharu plot outline, I set out to have the plotship do things that in the end would allow some to earn Yui's Blood Medallion. I was absent during the epilogue of that plot, so Doshii Jun carried out the award ceremony. My understanding was that the...

Despite the look, they're probably nothing like seafood. Going for shrimp/lobster-like flesh would be a significant DNA change on the formula for other Mishhu. So, it's probably coarse predator meat you'd find in mammals. The muscles in the pincers would probably have elements in common to what...

Indeed. And some people seem to like it. Not trying to spoil their fun. But others want to be part of something bigger that is making larger brushstrokes in the setting. The usual SARP trend is "Big war, great baddie, desperate battles, ahhhh!" until people get tired of it, and then, sudden...

I've read the last couple of pages, and something strikes me. Most of the potential conflicts that are spoken of are defensive. None of them are scenarios where you are the attacker. Yamatai may paint a more altruistic face for itself, but its historically proven itself to have a lot of shades...

Someone asked me to chirp in, so, here's what I can provide to the topic. I'm probably the largest user of psionic characters in more than a decade, so, here's my take: Though this intention is more than a decade old, I would mention that a particular focus on the YSS Miharu plot was to...

Zesuaium = Construx. YESSSS! \o/ Always was partial to construx over LEGO. :D

Catching up on this, I think the 'session zero' approach of whitelisting what is desired is probably the best way to deal with the situation Wes encountered. The various MOS do serve as roles that help shape the faction, draw the broader picture. In my group, I have several participants whom...

I want to address that implication in a previous example of mine that a drugstore clerk's life is unimportant. Clearly, it's an ambiguous and debatable moral statement which I do not support. But an organization based on merit is going to bring about what merit has the most value... and Yamatai...

Absolutely. However, there are only so many Mental backup devices, medical practioners skilled/authorized (the latter probably being as important, if not more) to handle such backups, and hemosynthetic tanks that can be dedicated to renewing new bodies, healing up people, platforms for medical...

Mmm. My perception of mental backups in Yamatai is not universal. I don't have the impression, based on Yamatai meritocracy, that everyone is entitled to mental backups, and especially not all the time. The average newborn nekovalkyrja probably shouldn't expect a backup just out of training...

I've seen CDD described as large fully enclosed metal spheres that contain a gyroscoping arrangement of machinery inside. So, you'd have the multiple layers of metal rings rotating inside, probably some energy reaction between those rings, and then the exterior cover muffling most of the sound...

I like the idea of just increasing the size category but not the weapon category, though it feels a little wierd to have Fortresses and not have even a single Anti-fortress weapon (which will probably be, most of the time, only going to be a better heavy anti-capital weapon). Then again, I'm...
