[Ehndras]

Sorry, was offline all weekend. I'm back now.

[IronyOwl]

*poke*

It's not healthy for a game to stall at the beginning like this.

[RulerOfNothing]

So how long does Ehndras have to post his first turn?

[Ehndras]

MY BAD.

Had a number of issues pop up at work, so I couldn't sit still long enough to hammer out a turn. >_< For the players' sakes, I'll make it quick.

* Ehndras runs off to post

[CyberGenesis]

No worries, Terenos was missing most of the weekend as well. Should get rolling again now.

That said: The RP isnt required and can always be backfilled when time permits. Truly all we expect is turn orders

[Ehndras]

Ahhh. If I had known... <_<

The actions themselves take 30 seconds to type. The damn backstory, well, I need to be in the right mood for character work.

Spoiler: Damn, didn't realize I typed so much (click to show/hide)

I'm currently researching taxia for one of the colonizable planets in my scifi RP, making sure the biomes are balanced, the atmospheric chemical content doesn't do anything wonky due it being tidally-locked to a brown dwarf while orbiting a blue dwarf, as well as trying to figure out a proper geological filtration method to ensure the underground water in the massive habitable caverns aren't tainted by chlorine and methane that have liquefied since the surface temperature has massively dropped following the star's metamorphosis into a brown dwarf somewhat recently in the system's past, most likely using some sort of magma tube or magma sea to heat the liquid runoff to just the right temperate where water will sublimate and then carry off into a secluded part of the carverns, while the heavier metals and liquids are purified by the magma or sublimated later in their journey to ensure they don't end up mixing with the liquid H2O.

But then I have to deal with creating a properly-shaped 'piping' system made up of porous igneous rock to ensure the water can efficiently rain into the caverns and not just rain back down into the magma tubes...

Damn it, I think I'm just going to go the boring route and have the Precursor geneticist bring a water-filtration device that he installed for the Shyk'rar when he brought them to Lithos from their homeworld.

I can write paragraphs and paragraphs about water salamanders, arthropods, arachnids, water filtration methods, radioactive materials, geothermal vents, and all sorts of random things to formulate one of what will eventually be thousands of colonizable worlds in my scifi game, yet I can't write a simple intro turn for a damn geneticist based on the founder of the genetic experiment that caused the entire cycle of events that take place in multiple novels' worth of Scifi storyline. Bah.

Do blast chambers protect against Recklessness-inspired accidents or just critical failures? What's the difference between the two, if any?

There's little MECHANICAL difference between them. The recklessnes basically increases the gap in which we'd rule a failure.

[IronyOwl]

Alright, cool.

[Terenos]

Be forewarned, the turn will appear sometime tonight when I have the minutes to sit down and get it written up.

[Criptfeind]

Can I be put on the end of the wait list then?

Also it is very impossible for me to read all of bay12 these days, so if you could PM me if my turn comes up (most likely at EG4) that would be great.

[Terenos]

Okay scratch that. I was not expecting the length of that day. First thing tomorrow, Promise*.

[Azthor]

May I join the waitlist? I am mostly thinking about the next game, if there is one, of course.
