Shelby is willing to help stock the ships locker if needed...she would prefer to be closer to the bridge but what the Captain thinks best is good by her.

I am happy with erisred general suggestions, above, with two crew taking upper level numbers 29 & 30 to keep an eye on passengers. That way we all get a room to ourselves. I am happy for San Halo to have the "captain's stateroom," but I am not wedded to it if some character needs it for some special reason! makofan, why is 3 temporary only? |

Yes, but which crew?
Stateroom 3 is for the pilot or crew on-duty/at the bridge. Temporary crashing quarters. This is ALL in the writeup for the ship. Even the itemized list that I provided of each number, I figured out buy looking at the diagrams and reading the ship description, something anybody in the group could have done.
I know this sounds stupid, but if I can't get a group to do such a simple co-operative task as to assign people to a particular stateroom, how are they going to work together in other situations?

Shelby would like 20 or 21 keeps her on the same level as the bridge but also close to the port turret if she is needed there...

My post came off as a bit ranty. I apologize for the tone. I think the frustration is we all want to just start playing, so I wanted a simple exercise like this to let people see how often each could post, what sort of give and take there was, and so on. You will be spending the next year on this ship, with these people, so we have to invest some emotional attachment to the Rim Runner. To keep a game moving, especially in play-by-post, people have to take some shortcuts, because we are not all in the same room hashing something out in 2 minutes. It is better to make a decision, and change it after others post, then to hesitate. In a pBp game I retcon a lot, as I am not out to "get you" like some GM's

San Halo takes the captains stateroom but proposes to share it with Cloudforte who co-owns the craft with him and serves as medic. That keeps us from taking anymore rooms away from taking on passengers. Besides, San is imagining he is going to be spending more of his time crashing in the temporary stateroom for someone on the bridge. The Red Baron, does that sound like an acceptable arrangement to you? Ronin84 takes 20. Would the rest of you please claim the remaining quarters? |

San Halo and Bronson Han are co-owners. I have just updated the reference thread with that information (it was missing!)

My bad (again!). erisred, are you cool with Bronson Han sharing the captain's stateroom with San Halo? I mean, both characters are plays off of the same star wars character! And we co-own the ship. I am imagining that San is going to crash a lot in the temporary room, as I explained above when in my insanity I thought that Cloudforte was the co-owner! Again, Ronin84, Shelby gets 20. We still need everyone else simply to claim a room. Thanks |

We still need everyone else simply to claim a room. Thanks Sure! I don't mind sharing the Captain's stateroom. Here is my suggestion for cabin assignments, speak up if you disagree... 22 - San Halo and Bronson Han - biggest, both need to be on lower deck
21 - Buzz Goudreau - pilot, should be on lower deck
20 - Baron Shelby Lockwood - navigator/engineer, lower deck
29 - Gregoire de Cloudforte - cbt oriented, he can watch passengers
30 - Floyd Hutchinson - cbt oriented, he can watch passengers, tooHowever, if we could just put Buzz in 3, permanently, Bronson could take 21 and everyone would have their own stateroom. The extra space in the Captain's suite could be used for files, a safe, and a small conference room. If we don't hear disagreement Halo and Han can just make a command decision.  Okay? |

Ship Uniform and dress boots (we should all have a Ship Uniform)

Awesome, we are getting somewhere. Hopefully Buzz's player will chime in as to whether he'll accept the small pokey cabin or not.
Anybody who buys equipment, if you could put your equipment list at the bottom of the RIMWARD Reference Thread, would be appreciated

Yes, my problem is usually I know my players, they know the system, and we have a common frame of reference. Here, we have a game which some have never played, and others have mastered, some have never done play-by-post and some are veterans at it, and even though I know that intellectually, I was not grasping it intuitively. But we'll get there

I have been running playing PbP games for almost 10 years and I have two proboards myself that I have used for games. If I can help anyone please let me know...I have the ability to be online a lot during the day and can respond, I also have access to my books for Traveller and a lot of other games. I seriously just want to see "our" games succeed.

If Room 3 is available for permanent occupation, Buzz approves! Otherwise Room 21 is acceptable.

Room 3 is a little smaller than the others, but if you don't plan on doing more than sleeping in it and will be spending most of your time in Crew Commons, Passenger Commons or on the Bridge it really doesn't need to be much more than a bedroom. If you're okay with taking 3, then everyone gets their own cabin. |
