Desmond Barnes Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 From the look of those articles you posted it seems we in the US could learn quite a bit from you British and your plane design. What with all the LEG ROOM you actually get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not a British design as far as I know. European collaboration. Might in use with some US companies, but not likely to be internal flights as there is not the passenger demand to make it worth while, this flight could hold ~460 people.

Rorx Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Current/Future time line 2200 EST (Now ish) CNN anchor gets podded live on TV. Bit of panic and Captains announcement. 2215 EST - next update post (tmrw) - News report 2230 EST (0330 GMT) - Next news report (another update post?) 0300 EST (0800 GMT) - Plane due to arrive London Heathrow....

Rorx Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 If people prefer I may be able to combine the 2215 and 2230 posts.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaylee Zanne Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Probably just combine the posts, people can post their own reactions to either or both of the news reports, or you can add them to your post is you know or can assume what they are.

Jordan Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm not worried about combining the posts or not, I'd just like to move this along. Until something either something happens on the plane that the characters can interact with or we land, there is really nothing for us to do aside from talk amongst each other.

Nina Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 dont want to knock anyone or put anyone on the defensive but posting is what we do. ST gives us a thing and we create our part of the story. One it doesn't have to be interaction with others at this time or really anytime for that matter. but it should be about developing your character and how he or she deals with whatever. Aph, Asa, and My self along with a couple of others managed to make posts. with no problems and only Asa and mine were interactions really. I dont think its fair to try to rush the story teller. this game has been moving at a pretty good clip considering Rox's limited availability and i dont think hes about to just take a month off for no reason or without telling his players. Most of you have been on the storyteller side and you know how much work it can be. We have a bunch of players in this game some who rarely post more than once a week. we have to accommodate those too and rox i think with his long flight posts is accommodating the frequent posters as well as the others. in a nut shell if you dont have anything to post I dont think thats rorx's fault. each of us has a character, a situation, and an environment we can interact with in a post. I really hope i didnt offend anyone but if I did you have my apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Baines Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't think I'm to blame here, Nina. I've been trying to squeeze out posts that would actually either A: Move the story forward or B: Not look like posting for posting's sake. Yes, I know the toast left some people scratching their head, quite frankly that's all I had to go with. I don't think that even applies here at this point. I'm not attempting to rush the story teller here, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope i didnt offend anyone but if I did you have my apologies I have to both agree and disagree you here. As a player it is not my job to set up the scenario. that's the GM's job. My job is to react to it, which I've pretty much done. Theoretically I could add more to my posts, fluff them out with Marco interacting with the stewardesses and other passengers and now knowing that Rorx was giving us more room to define out characters, but that is me fabricating a situation rather than interacting with Rorx and possibly the other players. At that point All I'm really doing is writing a mini-short story in the middle of the game. So while you have a point in that there is room for posts we are also right in saying that the passive situation we've been presented does stymie the creative process because it's now on us to create a situation for a characters to handle. Just a note, I don't mean this to be a negative criticism of you Rorx. I am just ADHD and a lack of stuff going on tends to cause me to get distracted fairly easily. Me needs me some stimulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ok, that's the combined post up. Next update post will include your arrival/landing in London. Please note starting to change reference times over to GMT in preparation for your arrival. Plane is due to land at Heathrow at 0755 GMT, almost 3 hours after the UK is expected to get podded.

Sailor OOC Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hoo boy, here we go. Also to translate GMT for those in daylight savings time, as the GMT modifier is reduced by 1.

Rorx Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just to make clear if it wasn't already 100% of people are getting podded. In these news reports, webcams or anything else showing pods there are NO other people in sight or being heard, no crying/screaming etc. No-one trying to break into a pod or move one around. Nothing. Just eerie still and quiet and pods lying where people once were. The web cam of Times Square shows dozens, if not more than a hundred pods lying around, and at least half a dozen cars and trucks that have pranged into one another as there drivers succumbed.

Rorx Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 but cheer up! Heathrow and the other European airports have webcams set up so that incoming pilots can check on the condition of the runways and decide whether or not to try to land on a motorway instead. That means you can get to watch any crashes live as they happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Baines Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Okay, just a couple questions. 1: When is the next planned update? 2: Can the fiction thread be used to flesh out any downtime between the end of Chapter 1's events and the next chapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Next planned update towards end of time of people getting senses under control, almost, if not at the end of chapter. yes the fiction topic would be a reasonable place to cover downtime if you wish to do it as a story . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Baines Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I was wondering about Fictions... shouldn't we just post our fictions as threads, then make links in the fictions thread? Otherwise what we write might get lost, or as we're writing a chapter, someone else's fiction might break it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorx Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Can do if you think your going to write enough for a thread. If its just going to be one or two long posts then could put them in the fiction thread. It was as much to show that fiction would be welcome as to have somewhere to out it.
