Discussion with Cerapa on how player decisions are handled;


Cerapa: I want to know more specific penalties, so I would know whether I should move or not in certain situations.
Cerapa: kinda flying blind
Azkanan: Go to the shop
Azkanan: And cross the road.
Azkanan: What's the chance of you being run over?
Cerapa: pretty low
Azkanan: How long?
Azkanan: Give me a determined number.
Azkanan: How low?*
Cerapa: is your point that my character wouldn't know?
Azkanan: My point is, is that it would be metagaming for you to be able to decide on how things will turn out by balancing the pros and cons of numbers.
Cerapa: true
Cerapa: but I meant more in general
Azkanan: Would you have done what you did, if you knew you had a terrible perception number?
Azkanan: Or was it a bad decision because you didn't consider that you would be hopped up on drugs right now after receiving a life-threatening wound?
Azkanan: You've just got up off the bed after early release and gone straight to the console.

...Actually, it would be kind of in-character if he was hopped up on drugs and thought he could fly the thing. I just feel stupid for letting him, but Catherine has been on the bridge for the majority of the time and probably wouldn't know that he had even been hurt, let alone was drugged.

Precisely. This where the Captain power's of... persuasion...? Deducation? are needed.

If I had known that he was incredibly drugged I wouldn't have let him onto the bridge at all. However, it's not something I could have known. I hadn't checked back in since I gave the command to fire, which I thought would be the solution to the alien. Was there an indication that he was drugged to the point where he couldn't fly the ship, or was I just supposed to assume that?

I'll put my hand up to that one. I should have made it more prominent - I assumed the whole life threatening injury yesterday, released early today, thing might have indicated it.

[StrawBarrel]

I guess I didn't read to into "very carefully" enough. At least injuries are minimal so far in this episode.
On the scavenging issue, I think we’re safe enough go and spacewalk the damaged parts of the ship.

[Azkanan]

So at this point, I'd say we're waiting on Captain's orders, what to do next?

[Taricus]

Well, I guess we could drain the alien of it's blood, and then turn it into sausages

[Spiderking50]

I got a job for Mac 

[Taricus]

For what? Making them, or being the taste-tester?

[Spiderking50]

... So I have two jobs for Mac. 

[tntey]

Oh boy.

[~Neri]

Do you people even know how to make sausage? It's sorta absurdly difficult without any sort of tools. And none of you seem like you brought the tools with you.

[tntey]

We don't have meat grinders. Also, I didn't mean literally making alien sausages, I meant make like alien steak or something.

[~Neri]

Still gonna need special prepwork.
