Okay, I have posted the Captain's response to the meeting.  If you have something to add, feel free to do so.  If not, I laid out the tempate to allow the meeting to end; I rather doubt that we all want to spend the next two weeks roleplaying sitting around at a meeting. 

Regarding the computer issues - it's entirely up to you guys if these are related or notn abd how difficult it may be to handle them.  Since this most directly impacts Nyle's world, Giddy should probably take the lead on this situation; if any other players would like to take part, please coordinate with him.  Heh, I can see the fun of having the computer spout random facts here and there for a while, but that's up to you guys.

I plan to move the game date on to Saturday pretty shortly.  Feel free to extend your post on into the evening of Friday, the 19th (current date) as late as you wish, but don't go to Saturday quite yet.  I don't really have any plot items, per se, left for today; I just want to give people a chance to wrap up their sidelines and such for today before we press on - but I *DO* want to press on before long. 

So, due to some unavoidable issues on the home front, I've been kept from being able to post on these two days off. Very sorry about that. Stupid ol' real life.  Anyhoo, this now puts me being unable to post until Friday, as I have two days of 12-hour shifts coming up, plus being on call during my off time until then. Haemis, you feel free to pursue any Engineering stuff you have going on. When I do post, it'll be backpost to cover the aftermath of the staff meeting, plus a post to bring Thorson current with whatever is going on at the time.

I humbly ask for everyone's patience as I muddle through the next few weeks. In addition to a project deadline at work, there is also a good deal of stress and uncertainty in my home and family life right now. Without going into too much detail, I'll just say that between work stress and home stress, I find it hard to focus on creative outlets even when I do have free time. I don't want to take away from the fine work everyone else is doing, so if things don't get any better I may step away for a bit.

But in the meantime, I'll keep at it, and will have more posty goodness up on Friday. Hope everyone is having a good week.

I've posted something, but I could amend it if needed.

Life happens, Dunc.  You are keeping us in the loop, so I'm good.  Worst case, we NPC around you a bit if need be.

No worries Duncan, things happen, such as RL. 😏

besides, good RP is worth the wait. 👍

I'll have to post tomorrow. Time has gotten away from me today.

Hey all,

I don't want to sit stangant for long.  I am very close to bumping things forward to the next game day.  And, as a matter of fact, I'm considering bumping thing ahead several days, until the next mission-related issue arises. 

Right now, I'm looking to move us to Saturday evening pretty soon, unless there are mission-related posts that need to get handled first.  So... Bueller?

Do iiiiiiit! Though, Melody doesn't have much to add to the meeting at this point, so there's also that.

Also, maybe I should have waited to post Tal and Reine's meeting until after you wrapped things up? Just so that it's not such a non-sequitor?

Planning on a post for Tochi but haven't gotten to it, yet. I can certainly backpost anything in regards to the meeting, though, so don't feel like you need to wait for me.

The thing with Trek is that you have so many storylines going on that you just about are guaranteed to have the scene jump around a bit.  This is why the post header and timestamp part is SO important, and that's why we do the logbook in Trek tools - to help kep it all in order. 

It's always, always okay to backpost - assuming that your posts don't contradict the future.  Say, your character is on the bridge at 3 PM, but you backpost that they took a shuttle on a five hour flight at 1 PM.  That would obviously be a no no.

But backposting does allow you to fill in those interactions and side plots while not holding the overall game back. 

I will wait until everyone who is planning to respond to the meeting can do so (assuming they can do so soonish... I don't want to wait a week). 

I'm working on another collab with Altaira as a follow-up to Tal and Reine's, set on the very early morning of the 20th

I also want to give this crew the heads up that I'm going to be trying to run a Starfinder game in the distant future, once my mental health gets to a place where I have the capacity for another game, specifically one I'd be running. It's a game I've tried running before with friends, but since this (RDI in general) is a place for people more devoted to RP come, I think I might have better luck here (again, RDI in general). Mentioning it here to see if there is potential interest in such a game.

Meeting post up.

Ok, so I've been home and nothing to do, so I have made a few posts and taken care of a few little items.  One of those things is to go back and see who I assigned people to share quarters with others, and to make a note on those characters roster sheets.  Just to keep things straight.   So, if you see such a note at the bottom of a character, that means it was RPed and a roommate was assigned during that RP, and the note is by me.  Of course, if anyone wishes to change a NPC in their department, for an RP that they do, by all means do so.  

OK, so, now to see what other RPs I can do for now.
