Stargate: Traditions, OOC Discussion.

FYI: Keryn and I haven't done any "interviewing" because we're not sure if e1ven wants us to proceed.

Very sorry about that, Reveal.. I thought I was giving you an introduction. Is there anything else I can do?

No biggie. Keryn asked if we should start but I said no, just in case.

Reveal, in my reply to julian, I'm currently writing "a small aircraft", which he might be flown in. I've done a little googling, but I can't find out what we use these days. Any suggestions would be great

Cessna? F-16a? Not a big plane guy.

I'm pleased to see things movng. e1ven should be home from work within the hour, and I can probably get him to post then. Hopefully we'll get Julian to the SGC soon, and the Colonel can interview him.

I'm rather startled to discover that Ashley is the second most combat capable character on the team. I was never expecting that. Third, sure, but second was a suprise. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to test out our combat abilities soon. I can't wait to get through the gate.

Where do you all see things going in the forseeable future? reveal and Keryn, how long do you think that interview is going to take? I'm not asking to be a pest, but to give e1ven an idea of a timetable for Julian's deployment.

e1ven, point of order that I want everyone to see: the SGC has a training program for it's newest recruits. Who among our PC's, do you think, has undergone training? Ashley would have jumped for the chance to do some field exercises, even if it meant she was away from her work for a while- thing is, it's still new program and folks who joined early probably didn't need to take it. I just wanted this to be on your mind, as it's on mine.

EDIT: Oh, additional point of order: Why are all of you using silver for your dialogue? I intended for us to pick colors so our speech would be readily identifiable, but I hadn't intended for us to all choose the same color. If that's what we want to do, it's fine, I was just kinda expecting things to go differently. e1ven can attest, I cheered when I saw your initial color choice, Keryn, but you've switched to Silver now and I could cry! Well, not really, I just thought that things would sort themselves out.

Any thoughts on this?

Am I too anal?

Because the book doesn't bother to spell it out, I'll do the work for everyone.

Standard SG Team Bundle:
* Unmarked weatherproofed "sea bag" (to store bundle) (No description, no weight, any idea what this looks like?)
* 2 sets standard BDU's (black, sand, jungle, or rarely snow) (Camouflaged fatigues weigh 2 lbs, so I'll assume these are similar. 4lbs total)
* Combat Boots (3 lbs. +1 Gear bonus to Fort saves in forced marches, +1 Gear bonus to climb checks when foot traction is an asset)
* Baseball caps (plains, forest, swamp, desert, ice, and urban pattern) (negligable weight)
* Load bearing harness (4 lbs. Increases effective strength for carrying purposes by 1 while inflicting a -1 penalty to reflex saves, stacks with backpack)
* Compass, magnetic (negligable weight)
* Canteen (1 day's water, 3 lbs. full, .5 empty )
* Flashlight (.5 lbs, 60' cone of light, 24 hour power source)
* GDO (during off-world missions only) (Negligable weight, 1 week power source)
* 1 day's MREs (1 lb. each)
* Tactical deployment vest (5 lbs. This is Armor, and grants DR 3/- while reducing class defense to 0)
* Tactical radio (2 lbs, batteries last 2 hours)
And either:
* FN P₉₀ with standard sling and 60 rounds of 5.7x28mm FMJ (6 lbs. AP, BP, RG, single-shot, M, burst, or strafe mode, IN day/night sight, +.5 lbs for the sling,
or
* H&K MP₅A₃ with standard sling and 60 rounds of 9mm FMJ (5 lbs. CP CS, DP, single-shot, M, burst, or strafe mode, IN suppressor. +.5 lbs for the sling)

Ammo seems to be weightless. I'm thankful for small favors.

This comes to 29 lbs. with the P₉₀, and 28 lbs. with the MP₅. Those of us with a high Class Defense bonus who aren't thrilled by losing it in exchange for DR 3might want to leave that behind and free up 5 lbs of encumbeance.

I prefer Silver because it's easy to read. I hate darker colors because I use a black background and it strains my eyes.

We can all use Silver, I guess. Just kinda weird to me. Maybe I'll find a different neutral-intensity color.

Most of the colors look garbage-y on the ENWorld background. Is there a way to specify HTML-like RGB colors, or is it just their set? Alternatively, is there a list of all the colors available somewhere?
