z021 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Backing also represents how useful the SGC thinks you are. I'd suggest buying at least one point as soon as you can, Jaunt. Otherwise the opinion of the SGC is that you're a security risk and should be kept on a very short leash, or so Fox said to me when I gave Kyria Backing 1.

Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yep, everyone has to have at least 1 dot of either rank or backing. (rank if military) They serve the same purpose however. They represent how much the SGC trusts you and how much freedom they will give you. More rank/backing also determines how much authority you have within the command structure and within your team.

The Red Man Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Started a new thread for the Interview and the settling-in phase. Not sure if that was right, but meh, it's easily changeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Sky, you will find your intro in Olivia's thread. You will wake up in the SGC infirmary under guard. Please post in your own thread at that point.Dec. I will copy that over into your thread and delete one. Don't want to clutter things up too much.

Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 that would be great Adrian. Give it to her hard, er I mean please interview her if you would like. She is technically already Stargate personnel though so she doesn't need the full treatment. She's already Signed the NDA after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyLion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 This may have already been answered somewhere in the Labrynthine Halls of this game but when does this game take place in relation to the movie and the TV shows?Second, if Olivia and I both wake up in the infirmary, then rather than posting in our own threads can we be present in one Infirmary thread? Or is the idea that we won't have the chance and they will pull us straight to the Interview...I take it Brayden's interview is going to be a bit more teense given what he was doing...?Third, If you would please delete Dana's thread I would feel much better...Thank You.

z-Olivia Jenings-Izumi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Originally Posted By: Adrian MossI can come over and give you an indepth grilling ~ I mean interrogation. That would be fine... I think. Originally Posted By: SkyLionSecond, if Olivia and I both wake up in the infirmary, then rather than posting in our own threads can we be present in one Infirmary thread? Or is the idea that we won't have the chance and they will pull us straight to the Interview...I take it Brayden's interview is going to be a bit more teense given what he was doing...? Usually injured prisoners are kept in a seperate area (so they don't take hostages from the injured around them). However, that is Fox's call, and I'll be happy to talk to him if he's there - believe me, Olivia has a few choice words for Brayden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Olivia is welcome to post either in her own thread if it is a personal interaction, or in the Team Romeo thread (which I will be changing the name of shortly since it is no longer a thread for a single team.)Brayden will need to post in his own thread since he is under guard and not being allowed to speak to anyone else pending his debriefing/interrogation. They have some questions to ask him... *queue dramatic music* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Anyone that is interacting with other characters in the SGC can post in the Prologue: The Rescue and Aftermath thread. I have combined the original Prologue and Team Romeo threads into one.Again, for interactions between multiple participants please use the Prologue thread. For solo posts please use your own thread rather than creating a new one.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 PPS:If you are not a member of the SGC prior to the rescue mission, but were a victim or an employee of the NID, you need to have an interview with one of the SGC personnel. That can either be done via IC chat with myself, Kyria or Caine. Or if you like you can write up the interview yourself and PM it to me for review and I'll post it.Once everyone's debriefing is done I will assign teams. Your characters will have two weeks of downtime before they are assigned teams and their official status with the SGC begins.Note about Backing/Rank:Those who were employees of the NID need to earn the trust of the SGC. Despite what level of Backing/Rank you have purchased, you will need to show yourself worthy of that backing/rank.Also keep in mind that Backing/Rank can be lost via poor RP choices. Just like you can lose an Allie/Contact if you treat them badly per the rules, you can also lose backing if you act suspiciously or in an untrustworthy manner.

Courier Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 you need to have an interview with one of the SGC personnel.Does that have to be a named character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes. One of the major NPC, ie one of the SG1 members or Captain Caine (Adrian's character). Kyria or Adrian can perform the interview via IC chat if you catch them and they are willing to do so. Otherwise you can catch me in chat or you can even write the whole interview yourself using one of the major npcs as your interviewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaizer Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Will we RP the downtime, gloss over it (single paragraph stating all that we do/learn), or just use that as a time to possibly spend any xp we might be getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Downtime is up to you. You are welcome to write about what you did during the two weeks observation if you wish, but I will not be making any stories out of it. In the show they have days, weeks or even months between episodes that we know nothing about. How you fill that time and what you do with it is up to you.You will be getting a small amount of xp for the intro, but I will be giving out the xp in small doses since I want to keep this pretty low powered and since the episodes should be pretty short compared to the chapters in a normal game.

SkyLion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Here is a cool question I thought of. Is Steve a totally seperate character in the grand tradition of keeping the same name/login, or is he an alternate version of Courier from the LM in which case Kyria and Omare will recognize him...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Good question. He'd started out in my mind as "Steve in this universe"... but the build has so many differences I'm not sure that's possible any more.Fox, can this Steve be the 'next-universe' equiv of the old Steve? (If so then this is Steve or his twin or something like that).In Amber terms he'd be a "shadow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well he is younger than the original should be... could he be the son of this world's Steve? Could this be Junior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Moss Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Steve without the novas gene (assuming we have the Ancient Gene here in the Stargate Universe) and no N!Day and being British (if Steve was American the first time around ... but still, the genetic possibilities do exist.

SkyLion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 The point was that in the timeline, by "present" time the original Steve Courier was actually an old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaunt Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think it'd be wiser to keep them all separate. After all Jaunt isn't the Jaunt from In The Beginning.It's easier this way, especially considering the differences between the two characters.

SkyLion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well at the very least his name and personality are going to raise the eyebrows of our two "foreigners" so I think it was a reasonable question to put forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Question is reasonable. The issue is whether it is something that should be done or not. I'm not so sure if it should. It's kinda like an 'in' joke in a way, but only 2 people get to be in on it. In acting we used to call that actorbation. If the audience doesn't get it don't do it.

SkyLion Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Still...I think the TV show had some things like that right? I mean Cody is probably around in some form on this timeline/universe too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z021 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think the point is that while Steve, Andrew, Cody, etc. may have counterparts on this world, Kyria and Omar's response would probably be something like "Oh. Huh." and moving on. It's expected when you jump possible timelines, and while a curiosity for the moment not particularly dramatically interesting. I don't see it really adding to the game/story.

Jaunt Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I posted the interview, Fox. I changed some of the dialogue around to better suit the flow of the fiction however while some of the dialogue was changed nothing the NPC or Jaunt said actually changed meaning or intention.Turned out to be damn long too...Enjoy.

Forge Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I mentioned this in Chat and it broke Carver's brain, so I figured I would share with the rest of the class... ~~~I don't know about anyone else, but everytime I read about Courier's char in Starberrant, I think of the Spongebob episode where Squidward becomes handsome after having his face smashed by the Krusty Krab's kitchen door.
