As mentioned, guys, my internet has been the rear end of a donkey lately. Fortunately thus far I've still been able to view and post with okay delays, but if I vanish from NS for days that'll be why. Given that it's been okay thus far I'd rather not park chars on account of something maybe happening.

[Giovenith]

Will reply soon.

[Swith Witherward]

I'm giving Mon, Bran etc another day to post for characters in the dining room (Fvaar sent a character there), and then I'll catch up on whatever Cer hasn't by tomorrow night.

[Chedastan]

I'm just going to make a quick post to summarize Romy's thoughts on the situation, filler really. Fallout 4 has been sucking my time with most things.

[Cerillium]

I'd like it if people seriously considered parking extra characters. They have become baggage. I attribute it to too many characters in play and not enough personal time to play them.

Flint has not been in use since 28 Oct
Mon had not been used since 28 Oct (she addressed Romy then); now active
Varona has not been used since 24 Oct (never replied to a question)
Kelly had not been used since 25 Oct; now active
Rylli was last posted for on 8 OCt
Superbia was last posted for on Oct 26
Bran had not been used since 17 Oct and did not respond to repeated questions, now active as of 8 Nov

CoOPs trim your characters down, please. Too many are cluttering the thread.

Active characters/frequently posting: aka Our Current Cast
Septimus
Drova
Yuna
Romy
Nick
Rmw

Thad


Swith:

• Add Zark's tab and well as Slo's, please. I think those are the only missing ones other than mine. Characters are missing from tabs. Players need to give links to you.
  
• Remove Kaeria. This frees up Tilt.
  
• Shift Tsu and TNEL to "welcome to return" pile. TNEL due to return with a new character later in December.
  
• Did NVE ever finish his apps?
  
• Min is on quasi-sabbatical due to work. Keep his tab in place.

Am I missing anyone for either group? I need a final head count for Bo Peep so I can post for Old Sam.

Potentially useful. http://www.blankmediagames.com/phpbb/vi ... =5&t=32588

Extremely useful.

The move to Jolt and subsequent move back resulted in lost threads. Likewise, F7 threads fell under autoprune (yay P2TM creation!) So many good things lost. The hardest blow, personally, was perhaps the Trifid Sagas, a multi-nation war played out on a private forum over the course of five years -- all data lost when the forum owner died!

Players might want to consider preserving their showcase posts. Entire threads are sometimes archived to thumb drives (or, in the case the damn Circuit prequel and trilogy, still exist as lunch time reading material on a corporate server.)

A few excellent posts are housed in the P2TM Exceptional Posts thread. Players can search for their nation names to spot them, should you wish to preserve them from there.

I am honored by your insistence on wasting corporate space for the combined drivel of Swith and I. *bows*

And now, back to cramming for that math midterm (also, Goghaus post out soonish).

You'd be surprised by how many frivolous things end up occupying space. Blame it solely on our nefarious IT department. One of them's a scaly.

Haven't posted this in nearly a year: Agy...


@Gio. I need to leave for work soon. I'll pick up Willow's reply later this evening.

@Fvaar/Prim. Waiting on final head count for Operation: Bo Peep before I can post for Old Sam. Will post tonight (capping the signup opportunity) this evening.

@Slo/Prim. I didn't see a post for Amanda/Primordial. Is there any place they want to see? I might save time by having a hunter turn up at the Building later in the IC afternoon. Get the quests organized and underway. Time skip to the next morning.

I was waiting for char!Prim to answer Amanda's question.

Of the things listed so far, Amanda would like to see:
* the gem dealer, to see how much char!Prim gets for his rubies, since that has a bearing on whether Sandy spends time transmuting "base metals" into silver.

* the herbalist, to see if they're offering anything she and Sandy can work with. Since Amanda knows a little alchemy, she'll recognize common alchemical ingredients, and doubtless has pictures of more on her phone.

* likewise, the Book Dealer of Ominous Foreboding. She may not actually enter the store -- she's had a bad day already -- but she'll do window shopping.

* The church of Demens: after funeral services break up, Amanda would like to pick up religious literature. If they'll actually loan her something like a copy of Demens' bible, she'll take that too.

* She wants to check the prices at the petrol station. (She forgot to do that while they were there.)

* In general, she'd like to find out the range of goods available and the idea of their prices.

Edit: @Cer, you have Nick listed twice for Operation Bo Peep. I believe Carly will send Kale as well. (TG'd conversation that Sandy would try to make sure Kale helps get more sheep.)

Sorry I normally wait to post all three of my characters at once but I can post Primordial and Insidious while we wait on Aegis's thing.

[Monfrox]

This is true. I already parked Cinnamon and Sinyaya, so I could park Flint and either Varona or Mon as well.

I was a bit focused on Brit and I've got two other threads I'm in charge of now so that's on my plate too.

Good news is I get my braces off Tuesday.

[Germanic Templars]

Things have been chaotic between school, work, and personal stuff but I might have a post set up later on tonight.

Ceril: is it fine to have Smith start out on the bench? Since everyone is moving to the lobby and resuming where I was would only make things awkward.

He can be wherever you need him to, but we need him active and involved.

TY. Carly seems to have a heavy RL schedule. It's unfair to hold up an entire group for a week or more.



Final headcount:

Operation: Bo Peep
Sandy
Ocho
Aegis
Primordial
Nick
Nila


Ascalon
Sep (Diplomat)
Amanda (Legal Eagle/Contract Law)
Thad (Driver/Tech)
Neste (Security/Comms)
Rmw (Diffuser)
Romy (Security/Weapons)
Insidious (Magic)



@Fvaar. Swith will pick up Myra when she logs in.

[The BranRiech]

I'll probably keep Drova and Yuna at this point, and park Bran. It's easier and more natural for me to write from their perspectives, instead of Bran's.

[Fvaarniimar]

@Cer: That works.

@Prim: I plan to post for Kwa'a, near the bridge, circa 5-7 or 13-17 hours from now. If you want to do a post prior to their being in that general area, please do it before then or let me know that you cannot.

[Highfort]

Post out. If I missed anything, let me know, but I'm currently split cramming for a chemistry midterm and following the attacks on Paris, so I won't be editing my post immediately.

Condolences, by the way, to anyone with relatives in Paris or who is affected by the tragedy. Solidarity with France, yet again.

My heart breaks for the people there.

"We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless. Because when terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities they must be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France, a France that is together and does not let itself be moved, even if today we express infinite sorrow." - President François Hollande, who was at the Stade de France at the time of the assaults

If anyone wants a copy of the flag:

[The BranRiech]

Mmm, we were glued to CNN for most of the night. That really sucks, but France is one of those nations that would become more united from events like this.

[Tiltjuice]

In solidarity.

My former boss is a native of France, and I hope for the safety of his family. (I'm not sure if he is from Paris proper.)

[Monfrox]

I know they won't take this sitting down at all. Nor should they, or anyone.

[Chedastan]

Mother of Christ, this night was tragic.

When I was in camp in July, I've made friends with a lot of the French people there, including my cabin's counselor. Amazing, fun, great guy. And a lot of them live in the Paris area. I'm just relieved they're all okay, at least according to what facebook is giving us. Still though, I don't have much of the words to describe tonight, I mean Christ.

[Monfrox]

The big three: USA, China, and Russia, have already announced support for France. Time will tell what happens next.

The bigger question is if anything meaningful happens. Because right now, while expressing condolences is important as is solidarity, doesn't seem like anything is being done.
