mod update 8;

[hohnkai]

Hello Savrites!

Starting off, we want to ask that if anyone contacts us and we don't respond within a few days, to poke us again. Notifs get lost and things get missed, but we never mean to not answer.

To note:

Please read over this mod update as it is extremely important to us and something we take very seriously.

We want to remind everyone that if you have any player plots, suggestions, or questions, that you can direct them over to the feedback page. The FAQ is also a good resource, and questions can be asked there. Also, the locations page has a wealth of information that we encourage players to use.

The Three Rs:

Restore | Resurge | Refresh

The restore page is for anyone that wants to get their characters upgrades. The Resurge page is used when a player plans to have their character die. All deaths must be applied for on this page. The Refresh page is when you want to canon update. More information can be found on each page.

There is also a punishment system linked on the Resurge page for any character that kills another character.

New and Updated Pages:

Respond to or look at these pages at your leisure: Cargo Bay Inventory | Permissions Post | Kitchen/Mess Hall Duties

If you are interested in having a room for your character to do their jobs, a work space or something else, just contact the mods with what you'd like to do. It will look like the player pages above, so we'd need the pictures and information from you for your character.

Housekeeping:

If you have not responded to any of the pages (taken, barracks, OOC contact, etc.), please do so. We've switched a few pages and had a mix-up in the acceptance notice html, so we apologize for any confusion. Check this page for your character tag and please use them.

Don't forget to do the activity check.

Intro Log Information:

The intro log for March is now up over here and if you have any questions, please drop them below.

Have a great week guys!!!

Intro Questions

[hohnkai]

Re: Intro Questions

[forwardmomentum]

re: the wacky translator shenanigans, if two people from diff universes speak the same language (since a ton of characters are english-speaking from roughly the same century) can they still communicate?

[hohnkai]

That's up to you to decide! We aren't going to put any strict boundaries on the languages since most canons can be argued to be similar or different. So basically if you want your people to be able communicate then go ahead with it.

Re: Intro Questions

[meyneth]

This may have been said elsewhere, so I apologize if this question has already been answered, but if we wanted to make the last TDM in-game canon, when do those events occur in relation to the intro log?

[hohnkai]

Hello! The Moira will dock on the planet here first and do a quick trip over to the junk moon on March 1st as well. It would be like your character came in through the ingress and then you decide if they did anything planet-wise before hopping to the junk moon.

[imahologram]

Going off an earlier question, are roughly equivalent languages (like, say, Basic and English) still roughly equivalent, or will there be language barriers there?

[hohnkai]

That would be the same as answered above. Players can decide if their characters can communicate with any others. We aren't going to be strict with it because we want everyone to get creative and have fun.

[petridish]

If a character has their own translator, is that on the fritz too?

Guess who forgot to mention it in her app because everyone in ME has one /)_- sorry again.

[hohnkai]

Nope! Only the translators provided by the captains. So Cloney's would be okay.

[devilofohara]

In regards to the noxious emissions that the sky-whales give off, do those only cause effects if breathed in? Or will touching whale secretions give the same effect?

[outer_space]

I apologize, since this promises to be the first of many annoying Force-related questions, but:

Would the creatures on Ceta have any particular "signature" in the Force? Or would they just register as your garden-variety life form? (Also, would there be any way to tell if they're intelligent or not via the Force?)

[petridish]

I ask this every month, sorry: What species are Ceta's hunters?

[knaval]

how are the temporaries kept up? is it because of a weak gravity pocket or like. floaty technology?

sorry if this is in the intro log....... i read it a few times and didn't see BUT THANKS ANYWAY

[kidjoy]

Say if someone tried to steal from the Museum or any of the buildings. How much trouble would this potentially cause/what would be the consequences? I kind of want to know if Peter can have a little crime spree or would he cause some interplanetary incident?


Second, question. But say the girl ended up planet side coming in, would someone come collect her and force her to come on the ship before they departed?

[notglitching]

Since the MIDs are the source of the translator malfunction-- will they be scrambling input actively, or just no longer helping with pre-existing language barriers? (AKA, would a typed entry or MID call from someone-not-the-captains still come through okay to people speaking that language?)

[songoftime]

So........... how would the hunters react if Link walked up to a group of them and asked them to stop killing the whales... I mean, would they just laugh in his face, or

Because what I'm thinking is that Link is probably going to want to try to put a stop to this whole skywhale hunting business, even before he finds out what other people are figuring out about them, if he does. But his first step is gonna be asking them to stop, and then turning to the rest of the ship and asking what they want to do, so... Let's start with that first question.

Re: Intro Questions

[straightouttacarbonite]

HEYO so noob question time: since Han has been assigned the job of transport pilot, are we shuttling back and forth from the ship to the planet or is the Moira directly planet-side..ish?

(in other words should i be apologizing for his reckless flying yet? heh)

thanks!

Re: Intro Questions

[ryuuzaki]

Oh, man, I didn't expect this to come up so soon, if ever. Dai probably knows the answer, though, and it might be the same as petridish's answer:

The nanites (tiny bloodborne robot friends) from L's previous game provided translation there. Would they work here even with the MID being out?

They do not seem to require that the people on both ends of the conversation have them, as the characters in the game were able to understand people's speech at planet stops, even when the planets were impoverished.

L speaks probably about 8 contemporary earth languages and bits of others, so either way is totally cool with me! Definitely break them if it's better for the game.

[visionarie]

Vision is the official Cybernetics Technician and has vast knowledge of hacking and general cybernetic systems in the quantum computer brain of his. Would he be able to fix the translators?

Re: Intro Questions

[handing]

Not so much an intro question, but Pepper doesn't seem to have a tag in the log community.

Re: Intro Questions

[devilofohara]

So, quick question about those fancy air boats that people are using on Ceta:

If someone were, hypothetically, to commit grand theft boat, and somehow got it into the Moira's hold, would they be able to use it in other planetary atmospheres? It says air-propelled so I assume it's not spaceworthy, but what about environments that aren't so hydrogen-rich?

Re: Intro Questions

[beautifulspaceraptor]

How would the whales react to a game of Tic Tac Toe?

Comments/Feedback

[entrepreneurism]

Hi! I'm sorry, not sure if this would be the right spot to mention it, but I noticed that there's a typo in my character tag. It reads "lando carlrissian" right now, should be "lando calrissian."

Sorry for the bother here!! ♥
