SalmonMax Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yar. Just deciding how to spend it, and knowing if there's time between cuts helps me determine how much she has time to learn. Just something to help me organize my list of things to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yes, and learning time can be cumulative. For example, if Mary only has five days between Story A and Story B, then she can add those five days to the next three between Story B and Story C to learn something that'd take 8 days. I don't know if that's necessary to state, but I'd rather look like the dummy saying the obvious than have lingering confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idris "Rip" Vaughan Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think it would be safe to assume everything on Rip's gear list she will eventually own as "stolen"? Also, just realized more and more Idris is sounding like Jason Bourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn OOC Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 More slang, also added to the slang page. Lapdogs - mutant terms for willingly compliant mutants. This can be a gray area; some compliant mutants are only that way because they're being extorted somehow. It's also an insult among many non-compliant mutants. "Get out my face, lapdog." Program Baby - a mutant born because of a DEHA breeding program. Implies that the mutant is compliant because they haven't been taught anything else. "That program baby shot at me but I'm not mad at him." Program Born - a mutant born because of a DEHA breeding program; unlike a program baby, the program born generally isn't compliant. Rarely used as a noun; usually its an adjective. "They're going to put that program born girl down; we need to get her out of there." Feel free to contribute to the list.

Gold Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm confused about this 'vs' business. Are our teams about to start fighting each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Gold, that is a possibility depending on PC actions. I know that the 3 NPCs are compliant and loyal, and they're going to fight you guys. But what happens with the PCs depends on the PCs. But that's only a possibility on Team 3; on the other teams, PvP is only going to happen if one of you loses your damned minds and does something I can't imagine. Which... given that you are PCs, is always a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z024 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 To start with, yes sort of. Whatever the scenario is for Team 3, Fahrenheit will be coming in separate from Seeker/Rip/Strike/Cancel/Prime and those two groups will be separate from Travis/Fenris/Lamia/Mary. A three-sided confrontation, to begin with at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Masters Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Due to availability changes, I will be unable to continue with my character here. I'm sorry, but I can only focus on one game. The reason I have left in the "Availability Changes" post in the General Discussion board. I need to trim down to one game, and I can focus on that. As such I chose CN/IE for those move slower and can adapt to availiability. I'm sorry, I was looking foreward to this, but I have no choice this time in the matter.

I'm sorry it didn't happen yesterday, but I was dealing with other stuff, and then had something pop up which is both distracting and draining me. So I have a hard deadline of Monday at the latest.

Dawn OOC Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm trying something a bit different in these threads. I'm shoving you straight into the plot. Feel free to ask any questions of me that your PCs would have asked of David in the 'briefing' (this group is not so formal they have official briefings) and I'll answer them here. I'll get feedback on how it feels once I have all the threads up. I don't know if the briefings are of benefit or just make you feel like they slow down the start of the chapter. Anyway, we'll try it and assess. Team 2 and 3, your starts (numbered 1.2 and 1.3 respectively) will be up tomorrow, as I stated earlier. Also, peaches are delicious. That is all.

They have a compliment of Rapid Responders, no more than 6, that are spread out through the facility. There are soldiers there (read: minions) who will be in greater numbers. How many? Enough for you guys to look good. There will be a super tank or two, an attack helicopter or two and a partiridge in a pear tree. That last one is probably not going to attack you.

Dawn OOC Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Last one is up. Once I've worked with Farhen on her first post, combat can start. Until then, feel free to give your PC a chance to bitch about their mission or whatever your PC would do. If the first person to post for the Home group would have them arriving in a warp, that would be excellent. Questions can be put here or in chat, just to ease the IC flow of the thread.

Tengri Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I mentioned in chat a couple of days ago, but I'll state for all to see here, that I will be out of town for a family reunion from Friday, June 8th, through Monday, June 11th. I won't be totally cut off from the internet during that time, but I don't expect to be online much either. As a friendly reminder for those of you playing in [1.2] Jailbreak with me, this means that I will be here and available for posting through Thursday evening; after that don't expect much out of me until next Tuesday. You have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Added the following to the Slang: Born Free – a mutant born outside of the program. It is a usually only used when the mutant in question has also never been held by DEHA, in which case, it's usually a source of pride. See Program Baby, Program Born. Let me know if you come up with something you'd like to suggest for slang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
