Salvation OOC Options

[Shev]

Ouch.

2,2, and 1.

Two more ones and I would have ruled of oned it...

[Sedna]

What is it with you and Shadowland(-related) Etiquette? :D

[Shev]

Actually, this is normal ettiquette :)

but yes, Ave does seem to be having some problems with ettiquette ;)

[Shev]

Ok, not to be pushy, but where is everyone else? Other than Paul, I feel like the only player on this thread. What's everyone else doing?

[paul_HArkonen]

I think they were waiting for us to finish up our stuff that we did.
Like the meeting.

[Sedna]

Previous post notwithstanding, drag me in any way you like. It's just that Alleycat's done all she can think of for the nonce.

[Shev]

Ok then. Avalanche has done all he can do, really. Shall we skip ahead to tonights meeting then?

[paul_HArkonen]

sounds fine by me.

[WinterRat1]

Consider it bumped. Whoever wants to start the meeting off, fire away.

[WinterRat1]

Digital,

In case you didn't notice, the others bumped the thread to the meeting. Was your character supposed to be at the meeting or is he heading out already? If not, and your latest post is accurate, is there anything else you said to your decker friend that he could respond to with anything other than a 'Whaddya want?"

[WinterRat1]

Wrong place. Sunday Karma moved to LITS: OOC

[Sedna]

This and one or two more posts should complete what's going on with Durin / Neophyte Overlord wrt Salvation. There's a possibility of supplies and/or border crossing bribes, but Durin won't be coming with us. WinterRat: could you roll for Durin any relevant Etiquette numbers?

[WinterRat1]

Sedna, since we're basically writing Durin out of the thread to be an NPC, assume he rolled whatever was necessary to achieve whatever result you were shooting for

[Digital Heroin]

[Neophyte Overlor...]

I am here to say I am dropping out.

I'm sorry, I just don't seem to have the ability for the multiple prolonged posting that these threads deserve.

WinterRat1 you have made a great world, that I will continue to read.

Again my apologies to every one.

[paul_HArkonen]

Hey guys, I'm going to be out for this weekend, I don't know whether I will have internet access or not, but starting Friday morning my access will be doubtfull.

Please feel free to NPC my character as needed until Monday, after that I'll be "back in the saddle again".

[Sedna]

Don't delay the meet on account of Durin (okay, so that's two more posts of filling in in-between story, but that's absolutely it!), and Alleycat will show up at the meet shortly. It's just that I'm just behind in everything, and on Dumpshock I've been trying to prioritise those things which touch other people most directly.

[Shev]

I'm mainly waiting on Cheng. Avalanche isn't the leader type, so he isn't about to try to take charge and start the meeting.

[WinterRat1]

As you guys may have noticed, Kurukami seems to be MIA. Additionally, Neophyte has dropped out. Digital is back and should be picking up his posting, I hope? But this does leave you guys a bit shorthanded. Would you like to have some NPC backup to flesh out your team? If so, let me know here, and I'll try to work on some NPC's for you all.

Shev, Paul, or Sedna, feel free to start the meeting so we can get rolling, although you're right Shev, Avalanche would probably wait for Lady Cheng. For practical reasons, that may not be feasible.

And I have been trying to contact Kurukami. Does anyone else know what the story is there?

[Shev]

As soon as it becomes apparent that Neophyte's character (Durin, I believe) is out, Avalanche will give Dice a call. I hopes that's ok, just thought I'd forestall any GM attempt to bring in more muscle than we need :)

Looking back at the Idiots Guide to the Matrix thread, this isn't the first time Kurukami has pulled a disappearing act. I would say at this point, Cheng simply doesn't show to the meeting, and defies all attempts to contact her.

At this point, I'm simply waiting for Alleycat and Tin Star to show up, Durin to call and say he can't do the run, and it to become apparent that Cheng isn't going to show.

So, we need to replace muscle and a rigger/decker. Dice can take care of the muscle bit. Let's let roleplaying determine the rest.

[Sedna]

You had the thought at the same moment as I had the time, Shev :spin:

Re Durin, it'll be okay to begin the meet without him: if you get any word from him, it would be during the meet anyway. Re Cheng, there's seven dozen and one ways to temp-stall an absentee player's PC, so one way or another that can be covered.

That leaves only Tin Star, and he's already established that he's a "fashionably late" type of character: which gives us a jumping-off point for that call of Avalanche's.

Editing to add apologies to you and paul_HArkonen for the delay of Alleycat's entering which led to your frustration and to the currently overlapped post. Since I've been seriously time-strapped, I'd been trying to Dumpshock prioritise those postings which forwarded other people's stories as my responsibility to others ... but forgot that playing my own character was equally a responsibility to you.

Anyway, she's there now, and even if I happen to go sporadic again (which I don't intend, but which life circumstances may bring about anyway), WinterRat has full carte blanche to write Alleycat how he will, so as not to delay anyone further.

[WinterRat1]

Durin and Lady Cheng's absences are covered. If there's any problems with the filler I posted, let me know. Otherwise, on with the show!

[Shev]

WinterRat1: I've deleted the PM that had the name of the rebel group we met with (inbox was getting full) so I'm trying to remember what the name was. I'm going to go with MPA (for $500 please, Alex ;)) which stands for Metahuman People's Army. It's from Year of the Comet so it least it's canon, if not correct :D

[WinterRat1]

Shev-that's fine. I don't know if I still have it either. That's cool though. Whoops. Ha.

Anyway, Paul and Shev- Great job role-playing and carrying the thread. I'm going to let you guys keep running with it until you put something in the thread that requires my intervention or an OOC request for such. So if I seem to not be replying, prompt me, cause I'm watching you guys for when it seems your characters are no longer interacting with each other and require interacting with other things beyond your control. Just a note.

[Shev]

Just to make sure, Mr. Fan DID give us contact info, right?
