[OOC] Stargate - H.M.S Tempest

[Sundered Echo]

And posted.

[Queen Raidne]

Oh thank God. An acceptable explanation for Zat behavior. You get a gold star from me.

[Sundered Echo]

Woo! Yay! Gold Star!
XD

[Sep]

I hereby announce on the OOC that I have appointed Tearstone as my co-GM.

[Ellri]

interesting.

We'll get our net one of these days. ISP hadn't remembered to send the router. But we're at a place where we have net now, so if someone wants a post, we can get one worked out.

[Sep]

I'm going to put a GM post up soon to give shipbourners stuff to do.

[Ellri]

Sep. It might be more useful for developing characters to have stuff occur on the ship. Having a single sensor event won't bring on much of any chance for that.

EDIT:
As someone put it to us after we showed them that GM bit, it reeks of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. Lots of words. Nothing useful. At least not for Astridh.

[Sep]

I can't use links right now, and I'm throwing you a bone and will add to it as we go along. Plus the whole idea is that everyone on the ship has to work to find out what is going on not just Astridh.

[Fallenreaper]

We need to do this at some point in the RP...just camp fire moment. :p I found a neat picture of SG-1 over the net and thought I share it's awesomeness, also Sep I'll be sending a PM your way with an idea soon.

[Ellri]

Agreed, Fallen. Right now, it seems there's many plans running about that do not intersect at all.

We can clearly see that you have some sort of plan also for shipboard, but we cannot understand enough about it to work towards it. We don't need to know much. Same, we think, is how it is for several others.

We think a campfire-like thing will be ideal. We know we have a plan for Astridh/Eydis, but it hinges on interaction shipboard to advance, interaction both with those directly related to the plan (those with Asgard Core access) and those without real relation.

Events outside the ship, we feel do not matter all that much to the shipboard crew. They'll to some degree affect them, but they won't matter personally.

What we need to get together is a rough plan for each character in how they might get more together. Reasons for them to interact more directly, despite "belonging" to different "departments". We've run an RP in the past where characters were on separate worlds, and that went poorly, because it was divided. The way it seems to go now is that there's almost three "worlds" on the ship. Military, science & Medical. With the last only having one occupant. That will not work well in the long run. We think it needs more natural intersections. We will gladly amend Astridh's/Eydis' CS if that is necessary to create such intersections.

[Sundered Echo]

Well, working on the worlds idea, I know Ariadne can 'bridge worlds' because she doesn't belong to any one department and has some skills in most of them, but she cant do that while there is a ground mission going on unfortunately.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing Dr. Ishpetyrs machinations forcing the crew to interact more....

[Sep]

Well as I've said Ellri, the current ship plan isn't obvious but it isn't meant to be. The mystery causes interactions. You wanted me to mix people up. You'll look at it, and won't understand what is going on immediately so call the scientists in. The rest of the bridge crew will need to get up there and so on. I can only present you the situations to get together I can't pick up your characters and put them into them.

I'm sure we'll figure something out, maybe the ship ends up crashing on a planet and while it's getting repaired we'll have that moment or something like that. :p

[Ellri]

Finally back on the net. We'll be around more now.

[cthulu]

Right, I'm still here guys and still interested, I've been having a rather horrid time of it IRL due to multiple reasons I won't get into and have had little time to jump into a brand new rp, I want to do it justice as I was a huge fan of most of the Stargate series' and shows so if you'll still have me I'm going over my intro post and planning to utterly rewrite it once I've read through the last page of posts, if I'm still allowed that is. I think/hope things have calmed down again now but these 'personal' reasons may rear up now and again and make it harder for me to post for a few days but never any longer than 5.

[Sep]

All right sorry, however I caught you now. It is okay, you can change it if needed and I will change McClellans response as necessary.

[Queen Raidne]

Right. I'm back to paying attention to this RP. It was dead for a little while there.

I'll start beng more active with Ishpetyr. That'll help the interactivity a bit. At the very least, I'll start biting on that Asgard core hook a bit.

(I may have been a tad intimidated by some of the long posts here)

[Sundered Echo]

Excellent... I'm looking forward to seeing some of the meddling and politics from the Doc.

[Queen Raidne]

Oh my God, Ishpetyr's so evil. I've never had so much fun writing a post. With any luck, Bishop will be vitally needed to fix something because the ship's about to be attacked or something, too.

[Sundered Echo]

Oh wow, that man is horrible. I think he missed his calling...
He should've been a System Lord.
