Down in the Gutter: OOC, The Nuts and Bolts of Staying Alive Options

[Abbandon]

Ok with feedback I created example #4 which I will begin to edit into everyone's mechanic page. #4 is just a direct copy paste of what WR1 wants to see in the OOC and people will just be able to copy paste their records whenever they need to which they would not be able to do with tables/boxs.

Will post again when im finished.

[Abbandon]

Finished. Even dead guys and escapee's got their crap updated hehe.

@Vegas. I left yours alone since you added your own. Yours is a little different than everyone elses. I recommend changing to mine or changing your around. Your name should be in its own line and i dont think you had a line for your healing roll? If you change those two things you can just copy paste that section into the ooc super easy whenever you need to...

Personally I would prefer to have everyone share a single health page. Then we wouldnt have to waste days on end asking each other how banged up we are IRL just so we can spend a few seconds IC healing each other lol. But whatever =)

[Abbandon]

Hmmm
@Vegas or Sparky

I made a house rule page for healing:
"mech - house rules - healng "

I tried to add it to the navigation menu. I put it in the proper place and linked it and then hit save but it doesnt show up in the menu of the wiki. I think there might be a limit to how many things you can have in the menu ?? If you edit the nav menu though it shows up though.

@Abbandon

I copied from this thread the way WR wants it posted in the OOC. I figured that was easier to just copy and paste when I edit it than having to reformat it over and over :D

I'll check on the wiki nav situation in a moment. You're probably right that it's just got too much "stuff" in it.

EDIT About the Wiki, apparently something is completely FUBAR'ed with wikispaces navigation pages. As in edits are *there* but they're not showing up (as evidenced by my attempt to delete EVERYTHING in the nav file and saving it and still having it show the original navigation). Just hang in there and it will work itself out, I've emailed about it and I will replace the navigation when it actually shows it disappeared :)

[Abbandon]

Damn I was hoping you would be forced to redo the nav menu =P

[Vegas]

Can't "force" me to do anything :P *neener*

However I am considering making changes to the nav menu in the future.

The demons seem to have exorcised themselves from our Wiki and things have been restored to "normal" whatever that may be.

Love,

I have to say im sorry for now having really checked in for 3 weeks or so, and i wont really have the time to get something written before tommorow.
So ill give WR a heads up on what I plan on doing.

Id like to head out just pre-dawn with someone who can drive, and go scout around for bikes, cars, parts, pretty much anything with wheels.

I also am drawing a little repair shop up that is based on a place right near my new job. If i can figure out how, Ill even have a camara pic of the place to go with the plans.

[WinterRat1]

Lindt - I don't mind if you want to go scouting around for bikes, cars, parts, etc. but it's a little late to post Child doing that pre-dawn at this point. :)

I gave everyone plenty of time to let me know if they wanted to do anything prior to me moving the story forward, and the general consensus (from those who spoke up) was to bump the story.

So in the interests of continuity and keeping everyone at roughly the same time (not to mention moving the story forward), I'm going to rule that Child was simply too tired to go out before dawn, and besides, everyone else was sleeping anyway, so there was no one available to go with him.

I'm ok with you posting a flashback if you really want to have Child go out and look, but I'll tell you up front that absolutely nothing material can happen during said flashback.

Unless you have an exceptionally good argument/rationale, I'm going to keep Child on the same timeline as everyone else and you can have him go out looking for vehicle-related stuff around 11:00:00 or so if you still choose to do so.

[Abbandon]

Even if Fool defaults he still has some pretty nice driving skills. And since we will actually be doing stuff instead of just looking around I dont mind going with Child(his choice). I just didnt like driving around "looking" for stuff.

@Lindt what kind of obstacles do you have converting pictures? Transferring them from your camera to the pc? a place to host the pictures?

[WinterRat1]

People going to the meeting - Anyone have anything they want to post, or should I just bump you all forward to the meeting?

People not going to the meeting - You are all free to post. I'll pick up your storylines as you start posting.

[WinterRat1]

Question - Recruitment - I'm thinking eventually we'll want to open things up for new player recruitment as you guys start recruiting and expanding the October Ravens. Do you all agree or disagree with this, and if you agree, when do you all think is a good time to start the recruitment process?

I am starting tax season right now, so my free time is at a premium. I will not be able to head the recruitment, and will need volunteers to write the recruitment post, do the initial vetting of the applicants, and get them set up on the wiki. I will of course issue rewards for this, which can be discussed according to the preferences of the volunteers, in a manner similar to how rewards were handed out during campaign set up.

Would anyone be willing to volunteer for any of these tasks?

As far as karma, I'm currently working on assigning karma as we have concluded the 'Prologue' of the game, and are currently transitioning into Chapter 1: Black November. So do not worry, everyone still playing will receive the karma they have earned and have a chance to spend it. :)

[Abbandon]

My opinion is that recruitment should only start once us core players have set up our base, and picked our colors, made some recruitment initations and fleshed out the gang.

I am fluent in Wiki making now but I dont want to take anything away from Vegas or Sparky.

[Vegas]

I'm still here and willing to do wiki stuff.... that's not a problem. Can always use help too where needed so Abbandon if you want to step up that's cool by me as long as we work together n' all.

I can still work up location maps of HQ as well if Lindt doesn't have time. Just kinda waiting till we *get* to that point and we can work off the consensus of what we're doing.

I can also throw my hat into the ring for helping with recruitment when we get to that point as well.

so yeah, I'm your girl Friday or something.. .

@WR1

Got one quick IC update before you bump, should be up before the night's out.

[pragma]

@WR1

Posted.

@MJ

Can edit Felix's response if you'd like.

[Vegas]

Talked to MJ the other day, he got a promotion at work and is insanely busy (again) he also won't have internet from the 24th to the 28th

Just passing that along.

[WinterRat1]

Anyone have anything else to post or can I bump things to the meet?

Everyone not going to the meet, you're free to post. I will respond to your posts as you put them up.

[adamu]

I have a post planned, but it'll be after they leave, won't extend for much game time, and can totally wait till the whole diplomatic journey gets underway.

[Vegas]

I've got nothing that's dependent on the group heading out so bump forward!

[adamu]

@Vegas - just out of idle and innocent curiousity - after the negotiating party heads out, where was Nevada again...?

[Meriss]

@Vegas: I seem to recall you wanting to do a flashback. Now is prolly a good time, before Legion et al get involved with gutter politics.

@Winter: nope go ahead

[WinterRat1]

[Vegas]

[WinterRat1]

Vegas - Post edited accordingly to account for Nevada's lack of sleep.

Everyone - Working on the IC post now, it should be up later tonight.

EDIT: Sorry, it won't be up until tomorrow.

[Vegas]

Sorry for the out-of-order flashback post... needed to be done after some discussion with WR and he just beat me to the punch getting the meet started before I could post :P

nothing else to see here...
