Just letting everyone know that I'm still here.
We lost our main night auditor at work to family issues a while back and now it looks like we might also lose our relief night auditor to health issues, so I'm likely going to have to do the audit seven nights a week. This won't stop me from posting, but it will likely slow me down a bit, probably to no more often than once or maybe twice a week.
But I'm still committed to playing.

Sad to hear about this! I'm hoping that, at the very least, this overtime work means double pay!

But dependably getting both my days off in a row is proving to be challenging. On either of the other two shifts having split days off is no big deal, but when you're working audit you generally tend to spend your first day off sleeping, so if your days off are split you really get only a half-day (the afternoon/evening of your next workday) when you can do regular-person-type day off things. ******************************* Oh! And regarding the current action scene: Silva is being predictably lazy. Why walk when you can ride?

My son asked me how I manage to get by on 4-6 hours sleep and I responded that sleep is for the weak and just a poor substitute for caffeine. I got the obligatory dirty look from him and continued blithely along my way. Laughing. With regard to Peng, well, Peng is as Peng will be. Que sera sera...

The meal the three characters in this scene just finished could have easily taken enough time for Silva GILROY to have dealt with his non-adventure and decided to drop into the same location . . . Just saying . . .

<tap . . . tap . . . tap . . . > Is this thing on? Hmm, survey says... Yup. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (at least I hope it's a light indicating the end of the current pain, not the headline of the oncoming train). If things get sorted out in the next few days then I can get Gil out of the ship (all study and no play makes Gil a smart, but bored fellow).

I got curious and checked.
It's been two weeks since eris posted anything to this site.
Anyone know what might be going on?

In the action scene, Peng is not entering the radio conversation because the push wasn't general. E.g. the question was specifically addressed to Raven alone.

Yup, but it seemed reasonable to beam Raven rather than send out a general broadcast.

Hm, has anyone heard from our esteemed referee? The last post I saw was 12 February so I'm hoping nothing bad has happened...

Just a thought, sparked by a post from mormonyoyoman [about a child gamer putting the severed head back on a zombie, which then returned to unlife] in the now-closed X Card thread: Anyone else here ever hear the HILARIOUS "Head of Vecna" gaming tale? 1d4chan.org/wiki/Head_of_Vecna[EDIT: I originally posted two website addresses, but the one remaining above has everything the first did and more.]

Original tale, told in first person by what seems to be the relevant DM: www.blindpanic.com/humor/vecna.htmBrief synopsis, followed by further real-life developments: 1d4chan.org/wiki/Head_of_VecnaYou get an exalt for posting that, priceless! Would have loved to have seen the look on the players faces.

Mademoiselle, I'm stunned to see that Gilroy is suspected of endangering anything other than himself. I mean, he thought he had business ashore and kept his nose (somewhat) clean, not getting arrested or causing a ruckus (which looks like what might have happened if Eris hadn't confused Gil's package with Peng's deal). The trouble one little scorch mark on a jacket causes... Of course, I realize that Gil is an "unknown" persona and therefore prone to suspicion but wow, I didn't think it would start this early. Hope your studies are going well!

Hope your studies are going well! Monsieur* what makes you think that Gilroy has not been under suspicion since day one? Marci can be a wee bit paranoid. Thank you, the studies are going well. *no I do not speak French.

Oh, I figured he would be considered a bit suspicious as a "new face" not to mention his arriving a wee bit late with the scorch mark. I'm actually surprised that Raven hasn't spoken to him privately about that particular issue. However, you were about to head off to school at the time and I'm sure there were more important things happening than giving Gil the third degree. Clear skies and happy sailing! And now for something completely different from the days of my misspent youth at Renaissance Faires...

I'm actually surprised that Raven hasn't spoken to him privately about that particular issue. Since our GM is apparently AWOL, I've suggested that we (the interested players) might want to further the action ourselves, by opening a new scene with everyone back aboard the ship. Assuming we can open our own thread?

Well, I guess Gil is going to have to wait for Peng's move (not that he knows Peng will be doing that).

SORRY I WENT AWOL
I won't bandy any excuses other than I just had a minor episode of burn-out. Every game I was involved in suffered, but none as much as this one.
Is anyone still here who wants to continue playing?

Hi All,
Just wanted to check in. I'm still lurking and will jump in whenever the crew gets back to the ship. :-)
