[OCC] Stargate SG-1 – Confrontation – OCC Thread

[Jarval]

Jarval looks enviously at both Kit's job and degree.

Sounds like a pretty nifty job. And who would have thought all that knowledge of black holes would come in so useful for a RPG

Degrees plural! I get ragged on this nearly everyday by my co-workers. I actually have 3 degrees not including the graduate degree I'm working on now. I'm not even 30 years old yet.

So you can see - playing Lorelai is a snap. Well except for having her be so naive and innocent! That part is pretty damn tough!



The brat part though is plenty easy

You've got me beat there (says Mr still struggling with full time university work...). That said, I've managed to figure a degree path that will not only get me my Computer Science and IT degree, but also two diplomas with no extra work. Which is something I'm keeping quiet about to my tutors, as I'm not sure anyone else has really realized that it's possible to do that yet...

Not that the extra diplomas really bring any advantage (one being Computing, and the other IT), but I think it's a nifty idea. I need something better to do with my time, I guess

 

[KitanaVorr]

Yeah you want real pain? None of my degrees have anything to do with each other. I got two in 4 years, the third one took extra 2 years. And this one is taking 3 years. Course I'm working full-time while doing this - but the good part is they pay for it. I also have enough credits to pick up one more degree if I just take two more classes.

Computer Science you say! Hoo-rah!
That's my specialty - well specifically Artificial Intelligence and Automomous mobile agents. But Cryptology interests me.

Nyah - two degrees always look more impressive than one and not many people know how closely related computer science and IT are...and not many people know exactly how different they are either.

Except for me - IT?! You lazy bum

OK, that really sounds like tough going. OTOH, having (pauses to count) four degrees puts you in a very select group. Heh, "Collecting Higher Education Certificates for Fun and Profit".

I'm kind of thinking about doing some AI stuff once I get to a higher level. Fortunately, the way I'm doing my degree (through something called The Open University here in the UK) means I've got a pretty flexible path through, so I can pick up all kinds of things as I go along. Which is nice

Shhh, you'll uncover my secret! Like you say, I'm hoping not too many people know just how close the two are. For me, it actually makes some sense to do both, as I'm interested in network communication (both the Internet, and other more specialized systems). I'm doing a bit of science alongside the computing, as ideally I'd like to work for ESA (the European Space Agency) or a similar body.

 

[Dark Nemesis]

Hey guys! Sorry about my being out of the loop these past few days, I've been traveling! But, I am settled down now, so hopefully there will not be any more delays from my character.

 

[Keia]

Okay,

I'm back from my mini-trip. Sunday will be mostly catch-up on other r/l stuff, then full swing on Monday. I managed to post once on the i/c to keep Madthinker and Kid A moving. Now to get the rest of you there on the way.

A post to get you into the morning and into North Carolina will either come late Sunday or midmorning Monday. By Mid-morning Tuesday we're off to get Grayson!!

Everyone's doing a great job with their characters - keep up the good work. As an aside, I will be cutting any unfinished discussions short when I post - nothing personal, just getting the story to move ahead. You'll have plenty of time to theorize or talk strategy in the near term (when everyone is together).

Again, great job by all - you keep it very enjoyable for me. Couldn't ask for a better group.

Keia

 

[KitanaVorr]

Welcome back!

We had a bit of fun while you were away but glad you've come back to speed us along.



I personally think I've ignored Terrell for too long - Lorelai's going to have to pay him a bit of a visit.

 

[kid A]

kitana and jarval,

wow. so, ummm, andreev has his background in mechanical and aeronautical engineering and aerospace technology, but i don't really know much about that sort of thing. started out an engineering student in school, but finished up as a graphic designer. i just hope i don't come off sounding too much like a dumb@$$ with my character! ;-)

*cough*

That's what I do in real life so if you want some hints in any direction - ask me. Don't worry about it though - whatever your character should really need to know, Keia will give you anyway.

We can just BS the rest!
