((They haven't done anything to mark their conversation as IC or OOC, and it looks like it's supposed to be IC. If it is, this is the right place.))

Not really. At least half of it was clearly purely OOC posts until Ozarck helped fix it somewhat by coloring his post. I want to avoid more long - and occasionally confusing - OOC talks in the on-ship thread.

yeah, sorry about that, Caellath. I don't want the IC thread cluttered either. I think that conversation is intended to be IC, though I think one or two of us have a little difficulty remembering where and in what condition our characters are, and in waiting for actions to be rolled on before posting second and third actions which probably couldn't be achieved in a single round.

So here I have a question. Say, my current character meets her end somehow and I'm making a new one. Can I shoot ahead and say it was someone from Hephaestus or some other place that seeked out the ARM and joined? I mean, how would such a person end up on Sword?

Piecewise answered this question on IRC a while ago. New characters can be explicitly ARM volunteers, they just have to be from somewhere ARM-controlled, which at the moment means the ex-HMRC ships, Heph, Q'Baja, and a dozen or so tiny colonies in the Outer Rim. In those cases, the volunteer would have travelled to Heph and then taken a resupply shuttle to the Sword.

Thanks. That was informative.

No worries, I'm not about to break out the torches and pitchforks. In the IC threads it might be good to signal OOC with double parenthesis or spoiler the text if it's too big and avoid maintaining an extended OOC conversation there. Sometimes it's quite appropriate and excusable to post properly delimited OOC - if you're not sure the receiver/s is/are keeping up with the OOC thread, for example.

And now I think I'll start testing newbies in larger quantities with that cloak and dagger training course the AM added to VR. I also need to find a new Rookie. Going around screaming "Who wants a shot at possible riches and valuable trust upon success and eternal damnation upon failure?" might not be the best recruitment strategy, though.

It seemed to work alright for me. Except when I got the synthflesh gunnerbots sicced on us. And got the nukes to blow up on everyone's face.

@sterile: how do people not remember May? That was kinda a thing.

Having recently read up to the capture of Hephaestus, I do.

I'm not sure gender works like that, but meh.

Lets not get into that, the WTF thread recently exploded. But hey, I guess ER can feel superior to normal Bay12, in community terms, which in turn feels superior...

My guy is up for experimentation, except in surgical or biochemical ways. And if you don't mind your rookie being a magitech medic, I'm your man. Maybe?

I'm a basic medic, though I am willing to test bio medical devices, All I ask is snu snu. Ooooh we should make a bio-medical snu snu device Ozark, now with less crushed pelvises!

Just have some Virtual Reality sex. It's cheaper than making a sex machine, and you can have sex with anyone you want. Especially the Armory Master.

You forgot the bit where all your joints get bent the wrong way and broken.

Pardon me while I cringe and uncomfortably cross my legs.

think I'll opt out of the sexbot and VR torture porn option or the moment.
