Aren't David's building supplies absolutly crutial for the securing of the T-bone?

Extremely useful, yes. Crucial, not necessarily. There are other materials that can be used that are already present. The rubble itself can be used to shore up the roof and fill in gaps in the wall. It's possible to unload supplies from the truck before leaving, but they might be needed where you're going too. Decisions, decisions...

So I have a question. I am going to be leaving for North Carolinia in a week and a half to pursue some job opportunties down there and on the east coast. I will have access to the internet when I am there however. But how often do you update this game now. I know that last time it was a week but when I first joined it seemed to be about 2 or even 3 times a week. So what is the magic number?

I'm hoping to speed the game up to two or three major updates a week once the new players have gotten started. I started at one major update per week, though we've had more minor updates than we did in the first chapter. The next major update will probably be in a few days, depending on when I have time and how soon our new players post. I'll go ahead once Fearlessfred and Stardreams have posted, or this weekend if they haven't both posted by then. I haven't heard from Gonzalez or Carib FMJ yet, but if they still want to join us they can do so at any time.
 
@ Welsh

- I'm not usually the one to call people on small mistakes or typo's. but you labled "West of Brownson" as "West of Baldwin"

@ Mr. Handy

Conflict Conflict Conflict. Something tells me that this may result in some form of irrationality. David! Repent! REPENT YOU FOOL!
 
I say we all leave the T-bone forcing Welsh and Mr.Handy to change thier plans they have so carefully made and adjust for our moves. This will keep the game keepers on their toes! :)
As a added bonus, Alice will be willing to "charm" any of the boys who come on the trip. :)
 
What makes you think we have not planned for your departure?

(And note how Michael left the T-Bone and is now returning).
 
Thats why I used the qualifier "Insainly Cheap". I appolagize... Wrong word. Its cool though; Post appocalyptic America needs loose women!
 
@ Suaside,
I looked in the character thread at Luke's picture. While he is handsome he is far too old for Alice who likes guys who do not need medicine to get it up! Of course since the new picture of Jim Kerr is from Brokeback Mountian, maybe he swings both ways...................
Just kidding.
 
no I am not like that. And yes I figured you were joking. Of course since most of the roleplaying games I have ever played have ended up with someone getting together I think it is about time and so I offer Alice for anyone's viewing pleasures. She is a heartbreaker.
 
invisible castle can list you all your rolls. easy enough to spot which rolls were a success & which werent.
 
well I knew that but I thought I saw mention of some thread here that Jon or Welsh had listing the stuff. Maybe it is keeper only however.
Oh and Suaside, I "talked" to Alice and depending how this relationship with David goes, she might be intrested in talking to Luke. Failing that McCain has a older sister. :)
 
opps thanks! I did not see that part.
Are you going to give another minor update again tonight? I would really like to see David's reaction to the mindfuck that Alice just gave him and the results of the two conversations that McCain and Kerr have done since the last update.
Does Lewis get another chance to try the relay on the radio again or should I wait until the next major update?
 
It's the character who does the teaching who makes the roll. Most characters who can do this have the Teach skill, and they roll against this skill. On a success, the student gets an increase to the skill that depends upon the teacher's secret abilities (possibly increased by a student's special abilities as well). On a failure, there is no increase and another roll can be tried later, but time is wasted (the student just didn't learn anything). There may be teachers who do not need to roll. Generally, the student can't raise his/her skill higher than the teacher's own skill level, but there are some exceptions.

Note that teaching takes a long time, which depends upon the teacher's special abilities. This can range anywhere from two hours to a day or more. Both the teacher and the student will be busy during this time and effectively out of the story, unless something happens and they interrupt the training session. It'll probably be some time before anyone gets a chance to train.

I'm not going to have time tonight to post an update, but perhaps tomorrow. I might even do a major update if Stardreams posts and there's enough time.

Regarding the relay: this is something that could be done later, once you have a reason to. You would need to decide early on which destination you want to patch Warren AFB through to, and you'd have to convince Lt. Malone that it's a good idea. Lewis made his Computer Use roll, so he'll be able to do that part of the job at any time in the future. You should let Mikhalin roll for Electronics (her skill in this area is higher as well) - this is a separate roll from the Electronics roll she needs to make in order to be able to use the equipment at will. If she makes her second Electronics roll, then she and Lewis can set up the relay working together. Mr. Foo made both rolls previously, so he can do the entire job himself - but Captain Lereux isn't about to let him back into the motel. Lewis has taken enough actions already this round, I think.

Malone is in charge of communications, and right now her priorities are first to get a handle on the world situation and exchange information with the base, and second to move the comm gear upstairs to a more secure location. This operation will take about 45 minutes with the help of Lewis, Mikhalin, and Malanowski. Setting up a relay would come afterwards if there's a reason to do it. There's no need to connect Warren to another listening post, since Warren has sent this team to operate Mr. Foo's post directly.
