Keep in mind, with your current upswing in status, you could put together a second "Training/Cadre" Unit. People would pay to show up and get training. Companies would pay to send their people to you, if you can turn out a good product. In the US, such classes average $200 per day, per student, and last 1-5 days. You could have up to twelve students in a class, and run a two day weekend crash course.

Good idea. Do any of us have Instruct? Not that we need it to do basic training, but we could charge more if we could actually qualify folk )

I have Instruction-1, which isn't really much of anything, but would be willing to focus on it to take it up to 2 depending on how skill improvement works for this game. BTW how much time has passed since the game started? Didn't seem like more than a week.

I'm standing by to get my first post in, I'll be up for another 4 hours at least waiting on a call from back in the States.

Yes I'm cool with that - although its currently a WIP.

Thank you for curating the Google spreadsheet with skills.

joertexas does that free you from keeping your records?

With everyone contributing so generously I'm anxious we don't duplicate.

By all means pile into the new thread "The Next Ticket" and introduce yourself - you got the job!

Correction on a re-read:
For Skip time/events elapsed is overnight and Skip successfully presenting himself for interview in Gunny's private back bar in the mid/late afternoon of the day after.

For the team - yes, less than a week.

Int roll on your behalf: Roll(2d6)+0: 3,6,+0 Total:9

You recognise Jakob Domici - he briefed you for the raid on Lanth (where you won the SEH?)

As per Leitz's last if you wish you can currently be improving your Instruction 1 to Instruction 2 - currently 1.5

It was interesting, because I watched "Red Cliff" and formed one opinion, but the GM really knew the history and Cao Cao was a worthy leader. Not perfect, but someone you might disagree with but still like.

Red Cliff wasn't bad, John Woo's pigeon fixation aside. You ever read the book?

Leitz wrote:No, which is odd. My character was the band leader, and a rising general who would have contested with Cao Cao had things continued. I really liked the game, but I also tend to write side fiction. I never really "got" the era well enough to do the fiction right. Usually I dive into source material.

Tiglath wrote:Oooh, the Bartizan is an excellent pit into which to hurl your money!

For 40KCr you can, if not turn it around, at least get it back to habitable and more importantly functional.

For your money you will get:

repair/upgrade the AA Target Acquistion radar to civilian Air Traffic standard all weather radar - sufficient for Flight Ops / allow the landing pad to operate for commercial use

replace and repair the doors and windows you and the vargr blew out - to keep the atmosphere outside where it should be

deep clean/restore habitable areas so as to be fit for everyday use (Penthouse, three Accommodation floors), repair & restore the "Party deck" to habitable use

deep clean and strip out the ex drugs labs and general prison deck (4,5 & 6) so as to be not a health hazard and so as to be ready for repurposing,

deep clean and strip out the lower floors (1,2 & 3 hospital/prison) so as to be ready for repurposing (hospital/prison on 3 only when the cops release it as a crime scene).
