That looks like a set!! I'll sort PMs tonight/tomorrow morning UK time.

There's still a risk that some people who signed up eight or nine months ago are no longer free, but barring complications, let's aim to go into N0 after the weekend.

SpaceAnemone · « **Reply #137 on:** January 06, 2018, 12:33:21 pm »

PMs going out imminently.

Thread locked except for tags.

SpaceAnemone · « **Reply #138 on:** January 08, 2018, 01:19:11 pm »

We're getting so close now!

I'm still waiting on one or more confirmations from the player list. It's a bit inevitable that I'll need at least one volunteer to sub in, so please PM me if you're not already playing and would like a spot.

In happier news, Ashersky has offered to come on board as a co-mod. Please keep directing all your Space-Alert-specific questions to me, but trust him to keep me right on anything to do with Mafia and f.ds conventions :-)

SpaceAnemone · « **Reply #139 on:** January 08, 2018, 07:13:02 pm »

LaLight replaces Chairs!

It is highly likely that I need to find a second sub. Please PM me if you're interested!

Note to anyone who feels the setup is dauntingly complicated: silver gave a really good explanation in much better terms than I did, so please read that for reassurance :-)

Can I be an honorary NPC?

Wait... is this some kind of offer to play the game? Because it would end this tortuous wait for another sub if you're willing, but I would want you to read the setup...

pingpongsam · « **Reply #142 on:** January 10, 2018, 01:46:11 pm »

No, it's an offer to make guest appearances in poor humor and generally make a nuisance of myself with a real promise to not impact the game with any actual analysis or insight into what's going on.

Ah, right. Well we can cast you as a space blob and you can post a wibbly message in the thread once the actual game is over.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on at least one confirmation that may or may not be forthcoming within a sensible timeframe, and I'm itching to sub someone else in.

SpaceAnemone · « **Reply #144 on:** January 21, 2018, 05:34:01 pm »

... and at long last we have it! Skump replaces zxcvbn2, and that completes our crew!

Welcome, recruits, to the Science Observation ship Sitting Duck! How nice of you all to show up. Eventually. Don't mind those armed guards taking up posts at all the doors; they're here for everyone's protection! Science vessels are expensive pieces of tech, you know!

By now, you should all have graduated from Space Exploration 101, and know the basics of how to find your way around an exploratory science observation vessel. As you know, the complex science observation equipment pretty much runs itself, so you just have to go along for the ride, keep the ship's reserves powered, and perhaps try to shoo off the odd hostile alien. Come to think of it, now might be a good time to remind yourself of the layout of your ship, and maybe swot up a bit on those notes you cribbed from the people who took the time to show up for class...

N0 begins now, and ends at 17.35 forum time on Monday 22nd January.

Good morning, crew! I hope you found your quarters comfortable. Are you all rested and ready for your first jump to hyperspace? I'm addressing you now from the safety of our ground control office, and I'll be here to talk you through your first voyage, so you have nothing to fear! Just remember, there's a few-day-long signal delay in each direction once you pop out of hyperspace, and my office hours are posted next to your comms panel.

Oh, just a brief note before I hit this big red button to launch your mission: we've seen a bit of an upswing in science deniers lately, and there are certain groups who want to silence our valuable work. Please keep a lookout for such individuals in your midst, just in case any of them have managed to slip through the same rigorous recruiting process you've all been through over the past few months. Unlikely, isn't it? Still, do stay vigilant, keep an eye on your comrades, and try not to let them sabotage our dear ship. That could go quite badly for everyone involved.

And with that, let's send you on your way! Launching in three, two, one, *whoosh*!

Boo!

We weren't supposed to do any Space-Alerty things during N0, right? Cos I totally lost track of time and did nothing.

silverspawn · « **Reply #149 on:** January 22, 2018, 06:42:28 pm »

No, we weren't. I just asked.

In other news, I'm town! Isn't it great?

First order of business is to decide whether we coordinate our actions N1 or not / if we should claim cards. I haven't thought about it much.
