OOC: Laser train of DOOM!

[miniPhil]

A general out of character thread so I don't have to PM you all about everything. My PM box is dangerously close to full as it is.
I'll make my first post sometime tomorrow. Half still working it out half waiting for more people to post their first post with their characters. Glad to have you all aboard.
If you have any questions or suggestions I'd love to hear em.

-GAZKUL-; I'm afraid I've gone and rolled a double one for both search checks. It seems Logan could use some coffee.

Cross Avantgarde; and Valkarma;
Carlos Pavlova is a high ranking member of the Cult of Move, a group whose goal it is to spread the Lords word through the medium of dance. He is a frequent passenger of Departure Rails and is infamous on the colonies for making many of the passengers journeys hell.

I've taken the liberty to write up the names and positions of all of my character's band members. I might even put descriptions in later, though they are not direct NPCs as much as they are a reference to the character's past.

"Juxtapose"
Cassandra "Cassa Sweetfingers" McForlorn - Lead Guitar, Lead Vocals
Jennifer "Emma Alkaline" Wonson - Keyboard
Autumn "Fally Pops" Swanmay - Drums
Timothy "Honor Guard" Kully - Bass, Back Up Vocals
Desiree "Rosie Cat" Shirohito - Back Up Guitar, Back Up Vocals/Harmony

If any of the characters had listened to this band in their past, they'd possibly know of the members. Just felt right to complete the band.

Thanks, I'll see if I can work it into it. Sorry for low activity on your end. Should pick up soon :P

Oh, my original intent was to use them myself, but, if you'd like to play with them too I guess that's okay. =o

EDIT: Explained in PM.

[miniPhil]

Light Buster; Can you tell me which Cargo bay you're in? The top one or the one nearest to the Caboose? Just working out some details for the next post and know exactly where you are will help.

Located in the cargo area next to the caboose. Oh, I also changed the stats on my character if that's okay. If not, I can switch them back...

[-GAZKUL-]

sorry for not posting yet, will get round to it later

[Tetsanosuke]

If any one is waiting on my post, I'm waiting for the right time to post again. =D

[miniPhil]

Sorry for late reply, was at a con over the weekend. Tetsanosuke; Unfortunately you're in the most normal place in the train :P I have some half finished random encounter tables. I'll complete them later and give it a roll. Maybe LB might recognise you seen as his character is going through Coach.

Light Buster; Something I haven't gotten yet, is Samantha's team with her in the Cargo bay or are they at Doomaria and she is bringing the equipment to them? It's been rather uneventful for yourself as well, that's more due to my horrendous perception rolls. Out of 3 so far(2 for Gaz, 1 for you) all of them have showed up 1 ;_;

[miniPhil]

So I think things are moving along nicely now. It's not too fast paced and I like it that way. If you can manage one post a week I'll be happy. I'll see what I can do :P
If you're over a week I'll drop you a pm. I think we have a nice pace going. If you want me to speed things up thought just shout.

Tetsanosuke; Sorry for the delay. McDoom just joined so he might join you in Coach and Light Buster is heading your way soon.
Light Buster; Hey man, can you tell me the details of your crew? How many there. You don't have to give me names or roles if you don't want, I'm just looking for a rough estimate as to how many are aboard.

Edit: I've finished a random encounter table. I'll roll and post now.
Edit2: Well this is going to be interesting. Not sure how to implement it. I'll roll at least once on the table every week to try keep everyone happy.

The crew consists of 10 male and 10 female engineers as well as two supervisors. The first half of the crew is already there, the other half is on the train.

[Cross Avantgarde]

I thought it might be in order for me to provide a clip of what the Futterwacken dance is, for all those who may be confused as to the moves Miles is performing in Second Class. Sans the spinning head, you can imagine Miles doing something a bit like this.

Futterwacken (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyP5fB137w8)

Whether or not it's executed well will depend on miniPhil's roll, I believe.

I suggest you thank whoever came up with the excellent attribute for two poor ones as that re-roll saved you.

Also, new random encounter!

[Cross Avantgarde]

Hah, saved by the re-roll! Then my sincere thanks do indeed go out to the individual (miniPhil? no?) who came up with the idea for the excellent attribute.

The original rules were you had attributes as poor average and good. Someone pm'd me (can't remember who) asking if they could take two poor for an excellent. So I made it that any excellent attributes get a reroll.
I can post the full list of rules if you guys would like.

[Tetsanosuke]

Edited my post for hindsightness.

I forgot that Cassandra would have to pass through 2nd class to get the gentleman to first.

I Still hate you for rolling a 6. I had a cool duel all planned out ;_;

On the plus side a new random encounter has appeared. One that moves the story and really requires some serious diplomacy if you're going to do the same thing twice. Now I have to go write out a serious update :P

Again shout if you guys want me to update more often.

[Tetsanosuke]

Perhaps it's Cassandra's karma? xD

[miniPhil]

Sorry for late reply.

-GAZKUL-; Light Buster;
While luck could save you it would be a better idea to team up. It will be a lot harder for the Bandits to hit you while distracted. Also you had the right idea about cover Gaz, just luck that screwed you over :(

[miniPhil]

Cross Avantgarde; Tetsanosuke; Sorry for late reply. College is starting soon and I've just been caught up lately.
-GAZKUL-; I haven't updated yours yet Gaz as Light Buster; said he wanted to update his post. He's a little busy atm and I didn't think it would be fair to give the bandits a whole shooting round against just you.
lil' McDoom; Valkarma; Can you guys give me a shout if you're just busy or if you've lost interest?

[Light Buster]

miniPhil : Post updated.

[miniPhil]

Was going to update but Gaz sent me a PM about his next post so I'll wait for him and post tomorrow. I think waiting is a good idea as Gaz's post will effect some of you[Spoiler]AND WILL BE AWESOME![/Spoiller]

[DOOM!]

Sorry, I smashed my Internet Flash stick in a fit of rage and have been offline for a few weeks, but thankfully, I learned how to hack Wireless WEP Keys and am using some sucker's router; but he doesn't turn it on often.

[miniPhil]

Well I suck a big pile of poo. Nearly 20 days since the last post(3 more days to my birthday :O) Really sorry about this. The good news is we're halfway through the campaign. It was always gunna be a short one. More of a test run than anything else.
Tetsanosuke;
Congrates, your diplomacy kills everything. Unlucky about the civilian deaths though. That being said, you've taken care of so many that you go up a level :D Feel free to boost one of your stats
Esiphas;
Don't worry about lashing out. I won't kill your characteryet
Cross Avantgarde;
Miles isn't exactly a normal person. But then, what do you expect from a random encounter.
-GAZKUL-; Light Buster;
Try not to get too far. While meeting up with Esiphas will be good there is many a nasty thing in the cargo bays. Also Gaz, you go up a level :D Boost 1 stat by 1.

[miniPhil]

I'm going to avoid updating atm seen as it's pirate day and I can't understand Esiphas; post.
Just a heads up Cross Avantgarde; you've included Tetsanosuke; in your post but Cassa's actually in a different section of your post. To mark things up Cassa is in First. Jace(Valkarma) is back in Second. Miles is in Coach 1 and Logan and Samantha are between Coach 1 and Coach 2. Lance(Esiphas) is in Cargo 1 while Gjorgy (McDoom) is in Cargo 2.

[Cross Avantgarde]

Ahh, got it; sorry for the logistical confusion and thanks for the information. I’ll try not to muddle things in the future. I edited the post accordingly; thanks again!

[miniPhil]

I'd just like to apologise about the state of the game. I got caught up with stuff and stopped heading to AF. My fault entirely. I'd pick it up again some time in the future but I doubt there would be an interested. Thanks to everyone who took part. It was fun.

[-GAZKUL-]

Shame, if it ever picks up again let me know.
