Well, in Nicole's defense, I also do have a bit of backstory which justifies her acting the way she does (and it's not like she doesn't have reason to be confused and frustrated, given she's been pulled out of therapy before she has recovered and assigned to multiple crews without explanation). I've still been trying to figure out the best way to go about revealing the full backstory, although I have dropped a few hints such as the references to her undergoing therapy and I think I might have mentioned once that she was stationed on Gaia (a planet which was the site of a battle that resulted in heavy casualties).

Rockmen aren't going be travelling with the Confederacy; the Federation, perhaps, but not a Confederate fleet.

The Terran Confederacy and the League of Independent Worlds. Terran Confederacy is the Terran government and the employer of most of the crew on this ship. The League of Independent Worlds is an alliance between Earth's break-away colonies. The Federation is an alliance between the Confederacy, League, Engi, and Zoltan.

Ah, I was still thinking of the drone engineer, since you never outright said no to it. =P

I am rather terrible at following this RPG. Some days, I'll stick to the topic like glue an see nary a single update. Some days, I'll turn my head for a half an hour and suddenly I'll have missed every single drop of the good stuff. I'm gonna have to work on that.

You need interaction, there's an angry-as-sin Vendarian in the medbay.

 

She's probably cursing.

 

Still.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

I think I'll take you up on that interaction, Basilisk... Just a soon as Visaru posts and I leave the Slug.

I don't see us getting drones anytime soon, that was more an offhand comment, so I say hold off for the time being.

Av, you don't RP wrong unless you do something god-moddy or out-of-character (Edit: Bunnying, too, but you didn't know, I guess). Making someone's character upset doesn't mean you made them upset. If a character's and its owner's feelings toward other characters and their owners were tied somehow, Kelezaag would have already killed half the people on this ship. =P

Dang it, I'm in that awkward situation again. In my last IC I ended by offering Ameli a surgical mask to provide some sort of comfort for the strange embarrassment she feels wandering around without a gas mask and her extensive paranoia despite being in a hospital (last I checked those things were usually supposed to be kept sterile specifically to prevent the spread of germs). I've been waiting for Basilisk to post a response (darn it, the suspense is killing me, will she take the mask? :P ) and I think I'm starting to get a little impatient. I was hoping maybe some of you would have some advice on something I can do in the meantime.

Books, games, homework, these things tend to be a good way to occupy time.

Wait patiently?

Not everyone has endless time. Bas'll be on later, when he has the time to post. It's only early evening (If that, depending on what timezone you live in), there's plenty of time.

On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

You think that's an awkward position? Try offering almost the exact same thing a few posts before, and being ignored like you aren't even there.

Alright.

 

Let me take this as it came.

 

Atton, I have work and other hobbies, some days I don't post. I get tired, life interferes etc. I don't live or die on this RPG. If you have something to do that cannot wait for two days, just leave the mask on the side of the bed.

 

Av, if you'd bothered to read the Vendarian profiles you'd know how they feel about aliens. You're lucky he didn't get shot at, really, considering how much they hate aliens. Heck, the chief engineer has outright stated he'll shoot any aliens that come into the engine room.

Still don't get the Sarlacc pit reference. And since it was the character ignoring me, I would at least like some OOC confirmation of that fact so I know that my character is being ignored by your character, not that you are ignoring me. Cause honestly, I don't think I'd be too surprised if that happened.

But yeah just to echo Basilisk's statement. Don't get to worked up if your post doesn't get a replay immediately, a lot of people just don't have the free time to devote. If you feel like your post has been missed, or ignored, wait a few days after posting it and then send a PM to the person in question. More than likely they just haven't had a chance to reply. Life happens, just roll with it. RP-Time is wonky anyway.

LucasArts declared the expanded universe non-canon, so Fett did in fact get shot by a blind man and then get eaten by a creature that can't even move.

 

Pet peeve.

 

Anyway, I'm kind of wondering what to do with Zhanar. I've got to figure out something for him to do...

That being said, thag thag thaggity thag thagness.

"The Astarians responded that making a goat fly would be trivial; making it land safely would be another matter entirely."

I thought he blew his way out of the thing, or something like that...?

He did, in the EU. The EU is now non-canon, as Xom stated.

Ah. The EU being noncanon.

 

I have feelings on the matter.

 

Also an excuse to link to a neat song I found.

Also, I like how a Zoltan ignoring the doctor equals ripping cards out of the hands of a mentally distraught girl. :/

Well, first off they were all too distracted to notice when Nicole asked nicely.

 

Second, Nicole has a few mental issues of her own, otherwise she wouldn't have been going through therapy.

First off you didn't give everyone a chance to respond, you just took action when one of the characters ignored you. Secondly if her mental issues are causing such rude behavior then maybe she shouldn't be a doctor?

Ooooh, is this gonna turn into a riot? If it's gonna turn into a riot I've got a list of stores I wanna loot.

Now now gentlemen, let's not get space happy. If you're going kill someone, do it the proper way and space them.

Nice excuse btw. Then I'll just electrocute her to death and will say that Andromeda lost control over herself in a surge of fury.

Right, I still haven't revealed the full story behind why Nicole acts the way she does. I mentioned it to Humva but I'm still working on it in the game itself.
