Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
Ohi, Moon: I just noticed that i've fallen incredibly behind in reading the news, and got on par with the freespacer-yamatai war just recently.
Let's say that Dream didn't learn about that yet because most of the communications to and from the Cirrus are blocked/slowed/monitored. But she'll learn out, sooner or later (probably sooner, it's hard to keep such big news hidden)
Unless someone manages to talk her down REAL good (and I seriously doubt it), she'll want to leave immediately the Cirrus and join in the relief and rescue operations (and, possibly, even in the war, depending on how emo I'll want to make her feel at the moment).
I've been told that Jess left the site, so there'd be no one to GM, I fear... but I'm OK with Dream just leaving and not playing her for some time while she's supposedly "away" helping her own people.
And, who knows, maybe she'll get KIA somewhere, if I decide that all the stuff I'm seeing is too depressing for me to continue playing on SARP.
Obviously, if she makes up her mind, the only thing Cassefin could do to stop her is either have her shot, or tied down.

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
I really wish you wouldn't leave us Della. One thing I specifically wanted on this station was immunity to the outside forces. Unfortunately, it seems Yamatai has managed to do it, despite my wishes. It's a really horrible situation that could've been avoided very, very easily...and it wasn't, which angers me to know end, believe me.
And, at the same time, you should not compromise your character. Just know that everyone here would be overjoyed if you continued to play Dream with us.

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
Yes, really. Please, do it, because I actually don't really want to stop playing Dream, even if it's the most reasonable and logic thing for her to do once she finds out.
So prepare the titanium cable (even normal rope is fine, Dream's by no means superpowered... she's easily the physically weakest character in the Cirrus. It's just that she doesn't know when to give up) and think of something convincing to say her.
But, as we say here in Italy, "not every evil is out to hurt you" (which i assume is sorta like your "every cloud has a silver lining": this might also turn out to be a good roleplaying opportunity for Dream and Tweak.
On the other side, it probably means that there won't be other Freespacer PCs for a long while, probably for ever, which saddens me to no end.
Back to the actual game: I'm going to assume that Popjoy, despite all her uselessness, actually sent me some biological info on the Shambler. If she didn't, well then Dream helped herself to the database. I don't think it's super secret info, anyway.
If it is, then please correct my post or let me know.

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
I know spacers well, heck, I wrote some stuff on them too. I'm no Jessica, but if someone wants to make a 'spacer character I can probably help them a bit until when (if) Jessica returns.
It's just that I like them too much. They're the collectivist, communist, space hippie comic-relief race in an universe full of empires and military forces that sometimes take themselves too seriously I'd hate to see them die, because I think they add a lot to the seting.
If I decide to remain in the SARP, this will probably be the main reason.

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
How heavy is the Shambler? Comparatively, at least, if you don't have an absolute measurement. I'm trying to figure out if Tweak can flip it by yanking the front legs out from under it or if she can roll it up-side-down.
Why I ask these sorts of questions OOC instead of trying to perform them IC is because things like this would be apparent to my character whereas I'm working off a very incomplete picture of what she's up against : ) Thanks for bearing with me.

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
Double post out of necessity:
Kevyn, I'd thank you not to auto my character. I know I'm a little slow in posting, but what happens to her is still mine to write.
Tweak's not thrown off. See my post (which I was writing when yours went up).

Re: Cirrus Station OOC Thread
I doubt you misread Moon's post, you just missed mine (because I was in the process of writing it).
Besides, it's just common courtesy not to say what happens to someone else's character without permission because you never know what they might have in mind. That's all I'm saying...
