"I was thinking of doing it in the sparing room."

Kevin thinks for a moment.

"Yeah, that works too. I guess we do not want to fall over and get a spanner lodged in the back," Kevin says, nodding.

Kevin heads over to the sparing room with Tarnish.

"Well then, this looks good. Much friendlier than the hangar floor, I can assume," he says, and takes up his stance again.

Festy, any idea how the mechanics of this work?

 

[Festy_Dog]

Not in the slightest. So when someone who knows how posts, it'll be a lesson for the both of us.

Yeah, anyone know the rules 'round here?


How about I start a special thread for In-character-action of all kinds to reduce the "strain" on this thread? (That way we can easily discard it when the real game begins.)

There is alot of good backround material in this thread, but its quite dispersed. Would it be better to compile it into a new OOC thread once the characters and mechs have been transfered to the RG thread and the IC thread is started?

Doghead,

my "discard" comment was directed at the "try-out" thread I suggested, so that we don't have further IC interaction cluttering up this thread, as we still seem to get someone interested in the game checking in every now and then. Besides that way the preliminary IC wouldn't get in the way when Jemal starts the game.

I understood what you ment. It makes sence. But things have slowed down a bit recently and hopefully we should be approaching zero hour.

Um, not sure. Perhaps its best to just leave it as is for the moment.

 

[Douane]

No problem!

I had meant it as a way to have some further interaction between our PCs, establishing some of the existing "relationships", and to get in the proper spirit of things / mood for us players, but if there's no need, I don't have to worry about it.


As usual, I'm here to answer further questions should they crop up.

Is there any room left in this game? I would be willing to play an Elemental or Aerospace pilot if the Star is full. I am a long time Battletech junkie and this looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Urbanmech,

as mentioned above, only Jemal can make a final decision on how many players to include. However, due to his situation at the moment it might take some days till he can do so.

Still, since he left Paxus the choice between playing an Elemental or the fifth Mechwarrior, I guess that he would have nothing against an Elemental PC. (Aero pilots might be more difficult, since they usually fight entirely different battles, which would almost double the work for a GM.)


While I can give you unfortunately no guarantee on the outcome of Jemal's eventual decision, I think it might be advisable if you email me (email's in the profile) regarding character creation (as I'm handling the mechanic side of that at the moment), so that we might have a ready PC to present to Jemal.

Whats Jemals situation?

If he is going to be away for a while, then perhaps the temp-ic thread is a good idea. I would like to try out the system a little.

BTW, anyone seen shalimar? I handle most of my threads through the User CP. I don't get to the forum pages often.
