Post is up; have at it!

No worries about the delay; I've been busier than a one armed wall hanger myself.

About ranks...am I understanding that all our characters are basically acting kinda like freelancers, including my pilot? I can see an argument either way...'Agents' would have a bit more freedom, being not so held down by regulations. However, I can also see my pilot, at least, also being an official ranking officer, as pilots would be in high demand.

If you want to simply run with them as Agents, that's fine. If you wanna discuss him being an officer, hit me up with a PM.

[max_vale]

Jedi: You're a pilot; but you're assigned to Alliance Intel; which is kind of a combo of military Intel types and FBI/CIA types.....i.e. you're considered the equivalent of an Officer; but you're NOT a Pilot in the sense of being a member of the Starfighter Force or the Logistics and Supply Services (LSS) or the Alliance Fleet, etc.

By the way; in my take on things; there are pilots in multiple branches.....Luke would be an example of a pilot in the Starfighter Force; Han is an example of a pilot assigned to the LSS; etc. Hope that clears it up a bit!

By the way....welcome back!

Everybody: Next post coming tomorrow!

[max_vale]

Next post up.....hopefully I can figure out how to scan a picture of the Asteroid layout this weekend...or at least draw a map of said Asteroid. Anyway; have at it!

[max_vale]

Next post coming tonight!

[angelicdoctor]

ok!

[max_vale]

Next post is up....also please note the attached jpg in the new thread titled "Attachments". As I'm not particularly computer smart; while I was able to scan it and attach it; for some reason I could not manipulate it to turn it on its side; or blow it up for easier reading; etc. If any of you can do so; please have at it!

[kipper]

I am going to be away from my computer from June 27th until at least July 5th (possibly longer).

[max_vale]

No worries; see ya when you get back amigo!

[max_vale]

Next post is up; battle is joined......sorry for the slight delay; for some strange reason I thought I had posted this several days ago.....doh! Anyway; have at it peoples!

[max_vale]

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday (well...those who are American anyway....otherwise, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! )......the next post is up; the battle is joined...have at it!

Also....yes, Blasters being set to stun seems to be more the exception; rather than the rule in the Star Wars universe; so I'll assume they are on 'standard' setting unless the Stun setting is specifically mentioned (a la Zinn).

[angelicdoctor]

I am a Texan so my "4th of July" happens on April 21st. But yes, it was an enjoyable 3 day weekend.

[max_vale]

Ah yes.....the battle of San Jacinto...probably the only battle I can think off the top of my head where the losing General escapes in an enlisted man's uniform and is only discovered later when his own fellow captured troops call him 'El Presidente'. Also interesting: little known fact that the two major battles of the Texas/Mexican War of 1836 (the final assault on the Alamo on March 6 and the Battle of San Jacinto) both took less than half an hour.....and the Alamo; despite numerous excellent movies' telling us otherwise; took place at dawn. But I digress....


The next post is up...the Battle is getting hot.....as I have not heard from Grey Starr; he will soon be 'written out' of the game. Have at it peoples!

[max_vale]

Next post coming tonight/tomorrow......so if anybody wants to get something in before the next actions are resolved, now's the time....looking at you Angelic!

[max_vale]

The next post is up; have at it peoples!

I took what I thought were logical actions for Zinn and Borsk; firing back and Healing Grey Starr respectively. I hope you are both still here and interested in continuing in the game!

Also: Jedi; you are currently 'Wounded'; which means any actions you take are at -1D (except for rolling your STR to resist wounds; that's always done with you full STR score).

[angelicdoctor]

Yeah, that is what Borsk would have done. Funny, I thought that I had made an entry to that effect. I must have been dreaming it or something.

Next post coming later today/tonight
