This is my Empire; these cities amongst the Stars.

[archimage_a]

For reference the session will begin in 12 and a half hours (approx).

Owing to an overburdened week (Essay season is upon us) I have not finished everything I wanted to, and want to give people a week to 'run in' their characters and the ship.

 

This means that nothing that happens this session will be binding and will be more heavily abstracted.

[archimage_a]

Ok, I have set up the channel #Empire

I am going to sleep for the next three and a half hours, have set the alarm and checked it twice =p

 

 

The session will probably break down thusly:

Introduction to each other (Your name, how you joined the mercenary group and anything interesting)

The prep

The mission

 

You, and the others, have outfitted a 'slightly larger than a shuttle' ship for a deep atomsphere dive on Jupiter. Some weeks ago you recieved word, through one of your many contacts, that a great vessel had been found, and was presently being scavanged by a rivial mercenary group. Naturally you put this at the top of your agenda and spent most of your avaliable cash on the 'slightly bigger than a shuttle' refitting for the dive.

The game begins just after you have departed from He3-Beta, a Helium processing plant in the upper atomsphere of Jupiter, also used as a cover for small time crooks.

What the deuce is the channel? I'm getting odd channels that aren't close to what Arch was talkin about.

What the deuce is the channel? I'm getting odd channels that aren't close to what Arch was talkin about.

It's in Irc.Tip.It, because Swiftirc hates Archi.

[Earth]

That's not helpful, at all. Link me please, I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

[Alg]

That's not helpful, at all. Link me please, I don't know what the heck you're talking about.

You'll have to use another Irc client like kvirc. From there, /server irc.tip.it and /join #empire

[Earth]

... And where would I find the other IRC client?

[Earth]

Alright, I'm downloading it now, I should be fine.

[archimage_a]

Sigh. [insert apology here].

 

Apparently me double checking my alarm doesn't extend to 'That shouldn't be 07.20, but 19.20'

However I did provide my phone number for precisely this eventuality, and given that Ico, Ross and Res live in the UK (and thus wouldn't be charged for an international call) and were most probably online for some time, one of you could have asked them. (Except Res, who could have called me without asking anyone).

 

At anyrate it seems that you didn't waste the opportunity so I will read through the logfile and try to salvage something from this.

[Retech]

No worries Archi, stuff happens.

 

Besides, we were still pretty productive and sorted things out at least.

[archimage_a]

Right then:

Since people are insisting on using floors rather than rooms:

https://dl.dropbox.c...re/Ship Map.png

 

The StarBreaker, as I understand it, is an intergrated weapon which can only fire in a 30 foot cone. It cannot be fired into the ship.

 

People get 9 floors (3 rooms) each, dispensed on a first come, first serve, basis. The 3 larger floors are reserved for Engines/SI core/Etc.

 

The Captain's role is to be the final arbiter of whether or not something should be done. Essentially 'Ok, we have argued for 20 minutes and gone in circles, the decision is thus'.

 

Also daylight savings is in effect so we would be starting an hour later (for reference)

 

Rules for killing each other:

You can kill each other, which either steals 1,000 pounds, 1 BP or puts them out of the game for 20 minutes.

If you want to Perma kill each other you can, but you Perma kill yourself in the process. The group can bring people back from Perma Death at the cost of 10,000 pounds or 10 BP (Or combination). If you are perma killed all your stuff is destroyed/given to the group (Your choice). (As such you cannot bring yourself back).

 

Phone Number: 07954 133 979

[Retech]

I will take my three rooms as indicated on the original ship plan.

 

Except given that Nef isn't actually playing and was just trolling, I don't see how there was any argument in the first place.

[Earth]

So, am I still being elected captain? If so.. Great..

Also 1 vote for retech has been cast.

[Retech]

I vote for Earth.

[Leiana]

May I play or am I forbidden due to previous idiotness?

[archimage_a]

You can play.

 

If she is playing I will play.

 

?

[Leiana]

Seeing that bothers me...

 

Oh we'll. I'm playing.

 

And I vote Retech as Captain.

[Nexaduro]

I vote Earth

[Earth]

I reserve my vote. I don't entirely trust retech, no-one else has stepped forward, and I'm not voting for myself.

[Retech]

I reserve my vote. I don't entirely trust retech, no-one else has stepped forward, and I'm not voting for myself.

 

I didn't step forward either. :P

[Resistance]

 

 

You can play.

 

If she is playing I will play.

 

?

Yeah, but I changed it after that but it only stayed for a second.

 

 

 

 

The obvious choice is ALG. Retech is not an option, he needs power witheld from him as long as possible. Earth doesn't want to do it.

[Nexaduro]

I vote Nero

[Alg]

I vote Nero

As do I.

[Leiana]

Noooooooooooooooooo! Not Nero!

 

I'm too stupid (aka: no guts) to be a captain. It'd make it too easy for certain smart people to overthrow/kick my butt/kill me and take over.

Do not vote me.
