  • I don't much care if she's telling the truth about hitting on me. It doesn't change anything. "Don't worry. It's not like I've never tried being with a woman before — I just didn't get much out of it." And that wasn't for a lack of trying, either. "…
  • I don't like the idea of raiding a cache without my mask... Last time I got into a fight without it, it fucking sucked. That, and I'm not the best at convincing guys I'm sexy... I mean, I guess I'm hot enough, but I'm not exactly graceful or anythin…
  • I hold him close hefore he leaves, and whisper, "I love you too – stay safe." Then I round up half the gang and bolt for that mini-sub.
  • I dont have anything else to do but grab Jester, and give him a big kiss before he heads out... I don't intend on dying out there, but I'm not stupid enough to tempt fate like that.
  • That's not good... I look back to Jester, and motion for him to get up. "Jessie – I need you to go find Hadden, and get folks out of here for a while – until we can sort out this shit with Merr. Invert, we're going to hit that stockpile hard and fas…
  • I follow her gaze back to Jester, but don't give it any thought when she admits to sleeping with one of the fuckers... It's not like Jester has any right to judge. I nod when she says she might be able to get in and see it... This is a good idea. "W…
  • What? "How do you know they've got the guns and stuff down there if it's guarded that well?" my tone is more curious than doubtful – but this whole thing smells like a setup.
  • I cock an eyebrow in sudden interest, and lower my voice, ”where at? What kind of guards are we talking about?"
  • I don't know if Jester was toning down what Silica said, but if she actually used the words "I need some time alone", then that's a huge improvement over what she normally tells me to do when I ask her to come see me... Which isn't very often to beg…
  • Retcon in PbP is pretty bad... The ability to branch a story line at a specific point would be awesome (so you don't lose previous efforts).
  • I'm going to jump into the same random public profile I had last night — rich white party-boy — and see if she's here for the movie, or out looking for us.
  • Movies? "Why do people think everyone on usenets are criminals?" I bring up my console, and link in Bloo and Fiery. "Let's go to the movies!"
  • I shrug, "a mid-thirties nobody. A little offended that I called her a suit, and nervous as hell that I knew her real name. She may or may not think I'm actually a girl... If she starts pinging usenets, any of you feel like coming along to see what …
  • "Oh I didn't give her access," I reply, matter of factly, "she's on her own in that regard. I'm just dropping breadcrumbs so we can get an idea of exactly what kind of resources we're up against." I'm a little amuzed by how much of a cult following…
  • So as it turns out, I'm confusing three different projects I was working on... I did a playbook viewer that takes images of the playbook and makes them (more or less) interactive (but doesn't store the text for moves), I took a short-lived attempt a…
  • I'll see if I can dig it up.
  • Hmm... I wonder what that's about. I look over to Fiery and lean back in the comfortable couch. "Patty was playing the part of an undesirable, so I did what any self-respecting hacker would do — swiped the public profile of some schmuck developer wi…
  • I watch the match for a while until Fiery and Mouse come out of the back room. I nod at Fiery and give Mouse a quick squeeze when she kisses my cheek. "Hey ladies — yeah, some corpsec contractors rode into Geo's concert last night on Mizu's invite. …
  • FieryRed and Anonymouse are also on my role-call. They — minus Geo — make up the big planners for our community. Geo is basically a good friend of ours who left to pursue a career in music, so we let him in. I hop over the back of the sofa and plop …
  • I've actually transfered a great deal of the AW rulesets into JSON/XML format. So long as the logic behind those rules are hidden, and the text behind the systems is truly just a reference, I am behind this idea.
  • I'm hesitant to suggest rulesets should be integrated. I've never seen it done properly, and the sheer number of them makes it unrealistic to maintain. I would argue that the burden of taking relevant system notes for quick reference would fall on t…
  • Once Ray's good and tired I'm just going to hop on my headset and find out what the community's up to. Think of usenets like private internet servers — you need to have a way to connect to the usenet manually, like an IP address, or a phone-line. Ou…
  • I nod along, knowing full well I'll probably get an email later on in the evening... Jenni's a fantastic worker. "Don't work too hard." Then I whistle for Ray to come along, and wave to the pair as I make my way to the door.
  • Not necessarily frames — but more along the lines of hover hints, and sidebars, like how Twitter conversations used to fan into the right sidebar when you clicked tweets in your main feed. Relevant reference information to the right, narrative on th…
  • The big ones for me are: - "playing as" by the name of the person who posted - whenever a character name is used (PC or NPC), it links to a wiki - easy picture embedding - some way to "plus one" posts like G+ or RPGGeek without having to interrupt -…
  • That was Qing, oddly enough — the guy I mentioned two days ago about integrating his headset into our old software. He got his start here, but it wasn't a good fit — he just didn't have the skills we were looking for at the time. Not to say he wasn'…
  • No. I need to rest up... If Jester and Arbor don't come back in a day or so, I'll go out looking for them.
  • I nod solemnly, "get the group together and start scouting out in the tunnels for people setting shit up to mess with our new home. I'll get the group ready for an assault on his boat in the meantime."
  • That's a pretty good squad, if she could keep Long John in line... Part of the problem is, if I just tell Long John he's answering to her, he won't listen. Invert would have to earn the respect of a team like that. I don't doubt she could do it — it…
