Hmmm...I really like the idea of a floor plan. However, I don't think any of these quite match up with the facilities we have? But that's totally okay! Using my image editing sorcery, we can set it up so that the rooms are labelled as stuff like "Jacuzzi" or "bar".

What do you guys think? I reckon the Great Sea Turtle is close to our ship in terms of overall structure and layout. What sort of facilities should it have? I think a VR room and Gravity Training deck are a must, but we can probably just consolidate them into a training room. Also we should have a lounge with video games, a bar, and a stripper pole! The stripper pole has a hologram projector so you can simulate any kind of stripper you like. But Marco broke it trying to program an anime girl into it, so it's stuck as this guy. His name is Mario and he thinks he's the captain.

Should we have a third ability? Maybe some generic mooks the players have access to? Or do you think that'd be pushing it? The other two are pretty powerful.

I think it would be a good idea to have the group sheet finalized by Thursday.

I asked my magic 8 ball, and it said

"Ben you are very handsome and I love you"

I interpreted that to be quite the prophecy. But you'll have to find out what it means yourself.

EDIT: I just realized I was reading it upside down. What it really said was

"This will not go the way LokiLeo789 thinks it will go."

With Mal's speed? Yes. And Mal doesn't have to take the sword route either. With quick access to his firearms, he can kill Diana before she fires. This would be so much easier if you numerated your skills according the tier and we can compare. But with the descriptions laid out before us, Mal can preform a killing action before she can fire a shot, if not predict the shot's trajectory. We should take this to Pm's, on Discord maybe?

I don't think this is going to go how you think it will go...

"I think I saw him at the bar. Here, I'll see if he's still out there. Sit tight." Marco said, taking a hit from the cig before getting up. He went behind the counter, and took out a brown paper bag, hooking it under his arm. He opened the door, looking around. He didn't see anyone. That was, until he looked up at the roof. There was his man. Oh, and it was the woman from the bar, too.

"Oi! What're you doing up there?" Marco yelled up at them. His eyes were glazed, and he looked a little unsteady. It seemed like the waterweed was having quite the effect on him. Hell, it looked like even a cross breeze would knock him over. "Do...Do you know? If you guys fell down, I don't have insurance for that." He was pointing, and making a big scene, and acting like a buffoon. Completely different from who he looked like in the bar. He had the cig hanging from his mouth, so it was obvious he'd been smoking something.

"This guy with a dog...You're harassing him! Why do you hate dogs!?" He was swaying a little, and waving his hands around while he talked. "A-and you! Robot lady! Get down from there, you...You robot."

It's not the tier that matters in this case then, it's the skills that the characters possess in tow. And by all accounts, Mal outperforms.

@LokiLeo789

Ah, you are correct. For example, if a character with, I dunno, some sort of ability that grants them good reflexes goes up against an opponent with weapons skills of lower rank than that power, or none at all, the character with the reflexes would likely win.

@JaceBeleren

Word of warning, your character is likely dead due to her action in your most recent post. So we should talk it before both of us post any further.

@LokiLeo789

Your dude and Jace's dude are both tier 3, so I'd think it could go either way.

Marco got up when he heard the bell chime, joint in his mouth. He realized that he was not in a state to meet customers, and this was probably why his shop was failing. He was about to say they were closed...Until he spotted the cute puppy.

"Can I pet your dog?" He asked. The question was answered by hound, as the dog headed for the table. Marco quickly lifted the cake away. "No. Chocolate kills dogs." He said to Hound, before putting it on a shelf. He turned to Colin.

"Go ahead. Have some tea." He said, slouching down on the chair before taking another hit. "What do you mean a tail, though? Are a bunch of G-Men going to come busting in?" He asked. He could use a mechanic or engineer if they had a ship, but he was more worried about the cops coming in while he was discussing illegal activities. "Why're you being tailed, anyways? Do you not have a dog license?"

Hmm. That could work. Maybe because it's been hacked it has more than one personality? And it uses a hologram projector to look however it wants.

We should come to a consensus on that, by the way. Here, I'll post sorta a mashup of things people suggested, and we can pick and choose. What do you guys think of the name? The two that have been suggested are Max One Five and The Penumbra. Maybe Max One Five is the name of the model of ship, but The Penumbra is what the crew has named this particular Max One Five class battleship?

It has an AI. I wonder if we could get someone to play them? They could have an AI in the ship that gets uploaded to some sort of robot when the crew goes out.

Ah, and here are all the pictures people have submitted for it.

@Dark Light Ah, are you on mobile? If so, you might be able to get around it by going to the desktop site instead of mobile. It's what I do.

As for the ability, I agree that it's possible they might ask us to scale back the powers. However, there are several abilities within the other groups that equate to a free skill. Even if they do ask us to change it, well, all that means is that we have to change it.

We can definitely keep the skill transfer thing, but make it one of the facilities the ship has, in addition to other forms of training. Some players might prefer mundane training. Like, I don't think Marco would want to do the skill transfer thing. He'd be more likely to just go lift weights with John.

Ultimately, they all do pretty much the same thing (Grant a new ability similar to one a teammate has) but have different ways players can write it.

Also, Rilla recently accepted me. So I'm in.
