Oh, one more thing to consider. There are others expressing interest in joining LM. I was considering opening up the game (with you guys approval) after the Watchers. You guys should probably weigh that in your decision and whether or not you want the game to open up as a semi-open forum style game. This is likely a good time to venture you opinion on the matter.

I don't see a problem with it in the future. For now, though, I enjoy that there is a tean that has to work as one, rather than the cliqueshness that tends to form in a more open format. I would also suggest that when TLM is opened, that people bring in new and unique characters with backgrounds that don't have any semblance to other characters in other areas on NPrime.

As for the option to pursue, I am in agreeement with Cody. It would give us an extra chapter, and we could still get to do part 1. And thanks for the NP's.

What to buy ...?

I definitely won't allow copy characters in LM. Anyone that does want to join after/if we open it up will need to make an original character that fits the story. I wouldn't want the "same old character just in a different setting" thing.

Also, after the current story arc is over there is no reason that new characters can't be involved in other things going on the the universe. They don't necessarily have to join the 'team' or travel in Lorean. Gonna be a big wide universe out there after all.

Personally I think we have enough open forum style things going on. I am learning to enjoy them but having a dedicated ST is more my cup of tea...someone driving the plot and a single voice to answer to.

I prefer if possible that it remain a game under your STship Fox, provided you still have the desire motivation and inspiration to do so...

I side on both questions with Sky - to clarify: Option 2 and I'm ok with new players but I wouldn't like this game to reach open Forum status.

Andrew can do his research regardless so I've no vote there.

Regarding the furture direction of the game. I prefer St driven myself but I also understand what Fox is going through having his intial story(s) tapped out after a long run. My ultimate preference is to stay ST driven if Fox thinks he can continue it with the same quality.

Yay for the Foxness!


Thus is my vote.

I'm with Joani and Sky on this, oh and Option 2.

Op 2.

Yay!!!

I'm sorry for my absence the last two days. I had some rough RL-Issues which kept me from posting or even check the forums. I'm catching up with you folks tomorrow - sorry for the delay!

I am so pissed! Twice now I've lost entire posts where I was writing up the Watcher stuff. It was some pretty decent writing too.

<grumbles and wanders off to try for a third time...>

DOH

Remember to copy before you hit send!

I wasn't posting them, I was just writing them in prep for when you guys eventually get to that point in the story. But yeah. <grumbles>

I do all major posts in MS Word or something similar now, I've lost WAY too much work like you Fox

Great fiction Joani! Glad my madness inspired you!

thx a lot. I told you the other day that I had an idea which needed to be written down.

Evil. Well done.

Steve senses truth from Joannie in everything she is saying, but at the same time there is something off about her. Something that you've never sensed before.

Oh, and Joani, very nice fiction! I've had dreams like that before, where I woke up from one dream into another several times in a row. When I finally really woke up I have a profound sense of relief after I finally realized that I was actually awake. Good job of portraying that.

Hey, I'm starting a new job (on day three now) that's really physically demanding. I'll be about but probably only on Monday's and Tuesdays for the next couple of weeks. Just letting everyone know.

Me too! An especially bad nightmare that I had as a kid was like that and inspired me to make a character for MCoH. Sadly the character was deemed too evil and sadistic and was banned/rejected for reasons of player harmony as well as having the most ugly attack power I could find...

I just caught up in my reading for this game but am tired and still recovering from my birthday so Im not going to pressure myself to post tonight.

I did want to send an Awesome! out to Fox. Once again, your storytelling talents continue to amaze me. Interestingly, as I was reading the intro about the "Augs" it reminded me of this soon to be released rpg which I discovered only a couple hours ago:

Present for Joani!

Found this pic of Supergirl for ya:

Check me on this, we picked up Meri, did we visit homeworld again after that?

I thought we did to drop people off, but I want to double check.

Yeah, and Meri went shopping and sightseeing while we were there.

Fox, please let me know when the main group synchs back up with Andrew timewise, I don't want to jump in without knowing if it would be appropriate

You guys are already sync'd up.

thx alot, Sky. I've got plenty of those on my harddisk

hey Max, I'm about to join your little fic there

Just so you know. Work has been really busy for me. I am working alone till they hire me some backup in the next couple weeks. Hopefully I'll have more time than I've had this week and get back to regular posting. Apologies for the delays this week (and possibly the next couple).

Hmm... I think Andrew is right and we let ourselves be sucker punched here.

yeah now if only there were a way to tell you all!

BTW, Fox, I hope you don't mind my rationale for allowing a certain amount of cogent lucidity with Andrew ATM, otherwise it was going to be end up being kid in a candy store with no focus...

No it works fine, in fact it's very in character as far as i'm concerned.

Also, I again apologize for being absent for a couple days. Life has really gotten a lot busier for me recently. Thanks for your patience and postage.

Saweet!

now am I the only one who things that you guys are all out of your minds?

Omar is with you. He thinks the others are being disrespectful and overly cautious. That said, he is also alarmed at Michael's actions.

Andrew IS out of his mind, but he might just be right as well....

No one seems to have reacted to Meredith. I am crabby as a result.

End of page syndrome... and everyone is busy being shocked.

Steve isn't sure how he should react, or which camp he should join. In theory is possible that...
1) Mike is tainted out and insane.
2) That without this system the typical 8
