Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

Hey all,

I am now back, internet restored. I need to catch up on eBay but should post in about a day or two. Until then, Syke does what he is told and tries not to be underfoot...

Sorry things have been going so slowly, Kookalouris. Maybe we should have left you in your cold sleep? I thought I had left an opening or two for someone to do something, but maybe I was wrong? Hmmm, y'all about ready for another visit from some distemper-infected pirates?
 

Argh, I reread the thread, and...staring me in the face is Leif's post.

How embarrassing.

Sorry about that guys. I guess we really have nothing better to do than make 2 jumps to Glisten to report piracy on Centry?

We need a job. :)
 

No worries, Shayuri. I thought you must have been kidnapped or something. :)

For those of you who don't know, let me give you a small rundown of Glisten: There is no planet there. The "world" is scattered across an asteroid belt. There are two such belts in the system, but one asteroid belt holds most of the 'settlement.' Glisten city is the main governmental and business center. The Pluvis Group of asteroids is the main shipbuilding center for the system, containing the vast Ling Standard Products and Bilstein shipyards as well as other, smaller yards of lesser importance. There is a common jest in the Marches that Glisten has as asteroid city devoted entirely to shuttle-traffic control.
 

Sigh.

I'm afraid I am going to have to bow out of the game. A family member is in the hospital for a long stay and I am the house 'gofer' now indefinitely. I know that I had barely started and I'm sorry I have to go.

Feel free to use Syke as you wish. You can assume he simply leaves quietly at your next port of call or he can stay on as a quiet NPC redshirt. It's up to you. If I can return, I will assume Syke can find the Zax later.

I appreciate y'all making me feel at home for the little while I could stay. :)
 

Man, kookalouris, that's rough! But I understand. Lately, however, in my family if someone winds up in the hospital, it's me. But you must do what you feel is necessary. It is a shame, though, and you'll be missed!
 

[MENTION=51567]Lou[/MENTION], if you'd care to join us, we now have two characters that lack players, so if you want, you can choose one of them to play. One is Insight's first character, Dr. Alexander Hannigan (whom I have listed in the RG as an npc, but you can still take him over if you want) or Syke a human (presumably Vilani) psi-dude. Syke has the advantage that Kookalouris never got him posted in the RG, so you can make him as you wish. This may be a disadvantage to you, instead of an advantage, though.
 

Hey kookalouris, sorry to see you go. I was looking forward to some more interaction with Syke. I hope for a speedy recovery and a quick return.
 

I've emailed about this on the list, and I've even sent a copy to Gruffle since he was taken off the list before I could respond. I just want to be super clear on this:

I was never upset with anyone, least of all Gruffle, over any point of canon or non-canon. If I am ever upset with someone, I will tell you to your face. I won't hide behind passive-aggressive insulting posts, I promise. :)

The post about the power plant explosive potential was not meant to be, in any way, insulting. In hindsight of course, I read it and slap my forehead. At the time I wrote it, I thought it was just an amusing look into Zoe's head. The problem of course was that I thought I knew what was going on, when in fact Leif had told someone else something totally different. Perfectly understandable, since he's the GM and my character's not an engineer...but I made a mistake, and let what I thought I knew (based on this being a Traveller game) interfere with what my character knew. In fairness to me, I had no reason at the time to think there'd be other kinds of ship reactors...and it doesn't seem completely OOC for Zoe to have some idea of the technology that powers starships...but those are small asides to a relatively large mistake on my part, and I claim full responsibility. At the very least, I could have asked.

So, to Gruffle, and to everyone else for putting you through the drama, I offer my sincere apology.
