Sounds like a fair amount of work, but good idea.
"And then the dead man of the dead did dead things to all the dead people."-Two Best Friends Play Dark SoulsHey all. It's been a busy week.
Not a bad one. All told it could have been more productive, but generally speaking, I was getting back from a break, dealing with assignments, lack of sleep and running into a lot of people who I hadn't seen in a while. This drained me and the prospect of the long Cent post necessary left me rather unmotivated. Certain persons rushing me didn't help.
Last two days, I honestly don't have an excuse outside of the fact that I was tired from this busy week and opted to sleep and play Alpha Centauri for the first time in ages. First time I won and rather handily, for three games in a row. I have to say, rather scarily, Yang is my favourite. Free Drones have awesome flavour but until I could make everyone Empaths there were too many babies and uppity peasants while Deidra was okay [I think I did slightly better than her on a higher difficulty] but didn't quite do it for me.

Side Note: I'm not sure what to do with the Cents. I can time skip you forward but the main worry was the entire Noir company having nothing to do, but with Wolf returning tomorrow this is sort of a moot issue. Sati can monologue briefly and Melon and Wolf can finish their conversation or alternatively, I can move forward.
I need points for what your characters want and are thinking though. Ways to stimulate conversation and camaraderie, so you aren't completely apathetic not only to the NP Cs but eachother.

I would like to finish the conversation before the skip.
Nikolai wishes to bring justice to the Federation, which he views as largely being the scum of the Galaxy. However, he also possesses a strong desire to protect the civilian populations from the destruction of war, one of the reasons he signed up.
Do you think I should cancel that pm conversation idea from the week before?

Early the next morning by all odds.
One of the groups will have guard duty, the other will be talking with eachother or else I'll drag in NP Cs.
This isn't one of those huge personal character arc games since it's sort of military but I need to figure out a way to improve my timing and keep things going so it's not just a series of transitions between awkward silence and combat.
Hey guys, I'm finally back from my trip! I'm sorry about holding things up. >.<
Also, I'm okay with time-skipping and having the PM conversation with Melon between Salvec and Nikolai, and then having Nikolai/Salvec recalling it later on, since I feel as if I've held up the RP enough as it is.
Again, I'm really sorry for holding things up!
"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"Time skip up and coming.
Now to figure out what to do for the timeskip...
@Bstar: My apologies, you came in at a tough time for the Feds, right before the major battle. A slow and bloody one, that's two thirds confusion, granted but a battle all the same. Discussing and thinking over possibilities as we speak. I just have trouble integrating new players, since honestly I feel like I need a little more plot to me than "Here's the new guy who showed up. Treat him like one of your own."
Apologies for non-activity. Life has been crazy and I've been left drained and demotivated. The fact that I'm not posting enough is making me feel guilty to the point where I dread going on and posting. It doesn't help that in both cases, though particularly with the Cents, I'm trying to rework stuff from scratch without changing plot, characters or dynamic not to mention there's a sort of revovling door of characters [GIG is on hiatus, Parable hasn't really returned and we all know how it went with the Cents]. I'm going to try to keep an effort up for the sake of the game and hopefully improve but please do be understanding when things take a while [I have major projects due every week for the rest of the month and then exams] and I can't always drive interaction as much as I'd like to [though this is more often an issue with the Cents].
Regardless, I've got two important posts up tonight and that's a start.
I can put in combat stats tomorrow for the Feds [I have to look stuff up and try to balance stuff] but if Gene wants to introduce himself out of combat, then I am happy to put it off.
To the Cents, you're in two groups. Details on the time and hour depends entirely on whether Vinny and Ellen want to RP out breakfast or simply start in their frames making introductions. I've written off Helchenko which is a shame but by and large my own fault. Morgan, Salvec and Nikolai have a minor plot that's coming up for them and I'll think of more stuff. Possibly some training exercise so everyone can have tried combat but that's a matter for later.
Cheers.

I'd really like to continue that conversation though. A week is no problem for me.
If there's really no way to stop this, would it be possible to continue this conversation through a flashback or something?
