You know I've never played one of these games before, time to change that.

Interested in joining you guys, but the tutorial seems to have thrown me right into a game.
Not sure what to do, so I got straight to work making myself useless by taking a shower and going for a nap, heh. 

Yea, it kinda is obvious when we have a new account/player.  Though... one of mine just went off and hid his walkie talkie and another took a knife and went to the rear of the ship to be useless, shouting the mush is gonna get him and to keep away.

In our game we put a camera on the bridge instead of medlab. But we also put a sofa there, so I suppose it makes sense.

Medlab is actually reasonably secure. It isn't a route TO anywhere, so anyone that enters is suspicious.

[Zangi]

Actually, if you come from or go to the lab, it takes the same amount of MP to get there and back from Bravo Dorm.  Plus, being a place with a bed, some people like to sleep in it too.

[Rabid_Cog]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Still, its EQUALLY far so no reason to go that way.

I have a question. Your Jin Su moves the ship the correct distance, but the wrong way. States he was unaware that you had to change direction as well as press go. Do you kill him on the spot or not?

[Orb]

Depends, is it going to kill you?

If not, I would let it slide. He just put himself under extreme scrutiny anyway. If he's not a Mush, he'll be another body (you need all the manpower you can get). If he is a Mush, he's effectively neutered because he'll be watched very closely.

[stoney834]

I'd let him off, but make it clear you'll kill him if he does anything at all suspect for the rest of the round.  Also make sure that he goes on any expeditions so he can't abandon the away team if he is a mush.

[Zangi]

Eh, if he left any pilot behind, that were non-mush.  I'd have stab him myself.  Otherwise, keep him under watch.

[Rabid_Cog]

No, he moved the ship when he was told, he just didn't change heading before he did so. We lost an awesome planet because of it, but in the end we let him go. Sigh, tracking down the mush is hard when none of your researchers remember to put on the apron before researching!

It feels quicker to me to get from the lab to bravo dorm by cutting through medbay and going south than by going through the corridors, but apparently it really does take the same number of MP. 

P.S. Frieda in our game doesn't want anyone to come into medbay where she is sleeping (so that she does not get infected*). I am being paranoid and wondering if she might be mush and making spores if nobody is checking on her.

* The logic escapes me, because if the mush comes in and infects her, then she won't be reporting it because she'll be Mush.

[Rabid_Cog]

You can't see if she is making spores unless you are in the room when she makes them anyway (unlikely). I suspect she is on the level.

Hmm, this looks interesting. I have a spotty online availibility throughout the day, but by the sounds of it, your points just build up until you can play them? That'd work great for me, since I work and have kids. What's the time requirement usually for when you do get a chance to sit down and play?

[Rabid_Cog]

Its mostly the communication and waiting for others to do stuff that takes time. There is a lot of talking on a successful ship and you need to read (most of) it. Some actions reward you if you and another player alternate actions, which is very annoying when you only want to go on for 10 minutes or so and you have to wait for them to get online/active.

It is kind of what is holding the game back personally.

They seem to be masters at making game that are actually... well... FUN, but choosing to use the Facebook method anyway.

[Rabid_Cog]

If they just implemented an IRC-like chat that updated live instead of a forum-post like setup for ingame chat, that would go far in improving the game I think.

[CognitiveDissonance]

What a strange looking game. Looks like a mutant baby of FTL and SS13. How the hell is this played?
