    Turn 0 has arrived

    Remember, voting is OOC, aka don't think what my character would do, vote for what you want. I ask you to do two votes for each, one main vote and tiebreaker in case if we will have a draw.

    You can roleplay past events. If you want any PC vs PC roleplay then do it via PMs and then post it all in one message when it is over.

    Such unorthodox mix between quest and RPG may be confusing, so don't be shy to ask.

    I take it we just add a small OOC part in our post, where we vote. Like;
    A1
    B2
    --
    Character's reaction to events.

    Or do we post votes here?

    Did I do the voting correctly (mostly the tiebreaker votes)?

    Moonblack did it right.

    Any roleplay is optional. If you wish to write reactions or describe events from the POV of your character or anything IC you may put it under the vote or write a separate message(s)

    I just understood that tiebreaker for voting that has 2 options may not work))) Well, 1d2 exist

    What’s the difference between votes and tiebreaker votes?

    and yeah, I get nudging things into a beneficial direction, but there’s also literally no reason that these people would support someone else becoming captain.

    Also, just gotta say. It's probably better to kill off/sell the yandere pyscho bitch as soon as possible rather than keep her around for as long as possible and risk her end up killing someone we need.

    If some option will be tied, I'll use the tiebreaker

    @asddas193 votes are OOC not something your character does. You shouldn't use character's motivation to vote or explain votes

    Ah, well I kind of did both. I don't think the rules of how this was supposed to work were really laid out well enough. But honestly, my personal opinion anyway is it's too early to just support anyone for no real reason. Also, so is the pilot mine since I didn't start with a slave person? Do you have imagery in mind for them? And players are mostly just going to push their character to doing what they want anyway, so I assume most actions are what players want to do.

    Yes, you got semi-randomly generated slave because you never submitted your own. No, I didn't create his biography\appearance beyond what is already mentioned in the game. You are free to invent stuff about him in your roleplays. Should you go too far I'll either say what you should edit or declare it a "dream" aka non-canon.

    I didn't really have anything in mind. I was just wondering if you did so I'd have a mental image, at least, is all.

    Here's the current draft of my characters:

    Name: “Commodore” Sinuht Bahara

    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    Biography: Early background unknown. Worked in Naval Intelligence for [rival of whichever government imprisoned us], eventually sneaking into # space and posing as a Commodore. Under this deception, he passed substantial quantities of intelligence to [rivals]. He also killed several Naval personal: he was convicted of two but some estimates credit him with over a dozen murders. He was caught when he tried to sabotage an ion drive on a naval frigate; he was patched up with cybernetics enough to stand trial and be sent to the prison colony.

    Major Aspects: Literal Cold-Blooded Killer; Master Spy

    Minor Aspects: Cybernetically Rebuilt (if cybernetics give nothing beyond baseline capabilities, does he need this?), Ex-Navy, Silver-Tongued, [pick a fourth].


    Name: Beth Carter

    Appearance: [something human]

    Biography: Two years of study, three years doing a hands-on apprenticeship, then another five getting experience, hoping to make the jump to a more glamorous (or at least better-paying) job than the prison run, and for what? Getting turned into some lizard’s slave.

    Major Aspect: Ship’s Mechanic

    Minor Aspects: [pick two]

    Was the character being a lizard by pure coincidence or on purpose? :rolleyes:

    Ah, just interesting since Kayla spent a lot of time killing lizard people during the war, is all. I’m sure there’s lots for them to talk about.

    Huh, didn't even notice that.
    ...That may pose a slight problem...

    (Of course, it's entirely possible that there's more than one species of lizard-person in the galaxy.)

    I am waiting for character actions, aka what you plan to until you find ship(s) to hunt. Possible options - having fun with slaves, learning the ship, modifying your quarters or other ship parts, focus on monitoring sensors, pilot the ship, etc.

    It is a minor thing because you have only one day but it may influence results

    Is what I've got for my character so far okay, or does it need changes?

    I may or may not end up having to opt out so the crew might be more open again. Dunno yet.
