OOC-Chapter 7-The Morning After-General Discussion

[Mr. Handy]

I've now started all of the new threads for Chapter 7 and posted links to them in the Chapter 6 threads, which are now all locked.

Here are the increase rolls for Wryce's characters. Now I just need the ones for kabukiman's characters.

Airman Marcus Winters - Medic (8/8 HP, San 54):
Listen (52): did not increase
Spot Hidden (55): increased by 6 to 61

Dr. Edward Singh - CDC Biochemist (13/13 HP, San 75):
Listen (30): increased by 7 to 37

[Mr. Handy]

I haven't had time to update in the last couple of days, but I intend to do so Wednesday night. If you haven't posted yet for one or more of your characters, please do so. Some of you have been posting for some of your characters but not others. Please remember that you need to post for all of the characters you play.

We should also have at least one new player joining us soon. A few players had left after Chapter 6, reducing our total to six, but hopefully that will now start to increase. None of the new characters I created for Chapter 7 have been claimed yet, but maybe now some of them will get players.

[He-who-is-Expendable]

And her I am! And, maybe partly because of my noobishness, and partly because it seems simpler, after taking a look and the premade chars, I think I will opt for them as opposed to making my own. At your service, gentlemen

[Dave Syrinx]

Well, as posted in the other thread. Welcome to the boards! Questions

[He-who-is-Expendable]

yes, I do in fact have one question. where do I post for Staff Sergeant Larry Dauterive, I cant seem to find where he should be....should I just make something up?

[Dave Syrinx]

Our Keeper is setting up the various threads for every location in the game. So far he has finished some parts and have some left to set up.
Some of the characters have threads assigned to them. They are determined by Location and name.

Larry is in the SWORD section. Here (click me)

But as I said, don´t post anything until you are approved to play that character. Mr.Handy is usually available at least some time at any day. At least most days...

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome again, He-who-is-Expendable, and thanks again, Dave!

Choosing pregenerated characters is a good thing, and I'm glad the new characters I've added are getting some play. The Locations and Weapons thread has a list of which thread each character is in currently, as well as hyperlinks to those threads. As the chapter progresses, I'll maintain a history of the threads through which each surviving character passes. That thread also lists each character's in-game location (unless it's concealed for some reason), as well as a list of all characters' weapons, ammo, and armor.

All of the threads have actually already been set up. I posted the last one on September 30. I won't have time to update tonight either, and I haven't slept much in the last four days, but I will try my best to do so tomorrow night.

During the week, I'm unable to get online and post except for a few hours at night. I have no time in the morning before I leave for work, and I'm not allowed to do it while I'm at work. I usually am here once each day, even so. On weekends I'm on much more often, and I have more time to post then too. This coming weekend is a three day weekend for me, as I'm off Monday. The first and third weekends in November, however, I'll be away at conventions. On the other hand, the second and fourth weekends will be extended, so I'll have more time then.

[He-who-is-Expendable]

I understand in character crap aside, playing RPG's is bad if it makes you negelct real life responsibilities, no game is worth that, COC or otherwise. as someone who, despite himself, gave no time to any hobby of any kind during most of the summer because of an unexpectedly grueling job and school schedule, I understand.

[Mr. Handy]

And that's five nights in a row without much sleep. Stupid fire alarm going off at 1:40 AM. At least I have a three day weekend coming up. I'll get things moving as soon as I can.

[kabukiman]

For Jerry I just increased spot hidden.

For Michiko nothing:

[Mr. Handy]

Remember that you get the increase if you roll higher than your skill. Jerry gets increases in Listen, Track, and Handgun. Michiko does get an increase in Psychology. Please roll 1d10 for each of these four increases.

[kabukiman]

Oh, right, great indeed!
To Jerry:

Michiko

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks! I've processed your increases and added them to your character sheets. By the way, Jerry is not in the thread Dawn, though Michiko is. Jerry is in Guard Duty, so you should post for him there. He's currently watching Kyle Rogers.

[Mr. Handy]

I've added three "new" playable characters to the Gold section. All of them are Military Police that will soon get a new thread along with a newly created PC, probably tomorrow night. They actually appeared as NPCs late in Chapter 6 along with Staff Sergeant Larry Dauterive, so they will require a little catching up, but not much.

[He-who-is-Expendable]

hello all! just wanted to warn everyone that, due to circumstances beyong my controll, I will be absent from the forum till monday

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks for letting me know. I didn't have much time during the week, and I didn't have much sleep the night before last, but I knew that I could wait on the new thread. I plan to get that started tonight so that it's waiting for you to get back on Monday, and I also intend to do a mass update of all of the threads tonight.

[Mr. Handy]

I ran out of time in the middle of the update. I've updated all of Sword and some of Gold. I hope to be able to finish updating Gold and Omaha, as well as to start the new Gold thread, on Monday night.

[Mr. Handy]

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to finish the update tonight and probably won't tomorrow night, but Wednesday night looks good.

[He-who-is-Expendable]

I am back!

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back!

I'm sorry, but I had to stay late at work on Wednesday, and other things took up a lot of my time after I got home, so I was unable to update again. I will do so as soon as I get the chance, hopefully Thursday night.
