NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

So...LHG and I talked a bit about me joining with a full-blown artillery specialization...

But I see that it says this is full...is that true?

@ArkmageddonCat

We have a lot of interest, but if you want to post a competing app for one of the two final slots, there is that option. We have two unaccepted CS's currently, and that is an option.

@Gowi youll let us know when the Arriving pilots can post?

@Dynamo Frokane

My idea is introducing the pilots at the same time, this “filler” period between 11:00 and 12:00 will serve for something players can do— introspection, reflection, conversation, etc. OOC-wise I’m waiting on some changes with the last two CS’s before I accept them and figure to progress the plot.

If already accepted new pilots want to write a post where they are an hour away from New Anchorage to introduce their characters (where they are at this point, reflection, thoughts on New Anchorage, etc) it could be doable, but it does throw off uniformity with the pacing. Up to you guys if you want to.

• They would be on a industrial tram/train going to New Anchorage with their mechs being stored in the storage end of the train.

CURRENT PILOTS
 Madison Cole (unfit, medical ward)
 Anastasia “Stein” Kalfox (active)
 Elizabeth “Eli” Jackspar (active)
 Percy Moore (active, recent return)
 Jan Van Gent (active)
 Joe Verona (active)

ARRIVING PILOTS
 Penelope “Penny” Maverick
 Joshua Ray
 John “Jingo” Strange
 Alexander Sky
 Tahlia Styles
 Possible Two Others

Any characters from group one can post in the IC following this announcement. Your characters can react to the message wherever they are but the NC squadron's assigned lunch will be around the time of the pilot's arrival. Current time is around 11:05-11:15ish in the morning if you need to know that.

If you need to know character locations:

Commander Michael Graham (Main Facility, CO Office)
Dr. Bonheur (Science Facility, Infirmary)
Dr. Lofgren (Science Facility, Simulation Lab)
Valdislav Kuznetsov (Main Facility, Mech Hangar)
Katarina Poux (Main Facility, Mech Hangar)
Stein Kalfox (Training Facility, Gun Range)

We’ll wing the setup of the base for now, but I might try to draw up a blueprint at some point.

Dr. Lofgren is a woman, lol.

@Letter Bee: It means exactly what it sounds like: a reserve list is players who have expressed interest but are reserved for an invitation should it be option-able for them to join.

Your suggestion is noted, but if I take on a co-GM I will be looking at someone who works cohesively with me rather than player suggestions.

11 playing character with half being new cast and the other half returning.

Taking on extras could dilute the story with it becoming too large. As it is, we are going to have to manage the scenes well so we don't overlap too much.

@NuttsnBolts

That’s a fair point. Anyone else have a thought? Maybe put up a reserve list in case we get drops?

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

Darn, I would have loved to have gotten in on an RP as active as this. Oh well.
Is it weird I'm still going to read? Even not being involved, it seems interesting to see where you lot take this.

@Lonewolf685

I have bad impulse control and I’m too nice. I might be able to amend my “no more applications” stance if the rest of the players are okay with it. I really did not expect this much interest. I do also have to consider how much pilots New Anchorage can afford to take on.

I sincerely hope you don't want me to find faceclaims for all of my NPCs.

Do note that while, yes, NCQ is an action RP it is still dramatic and I do love to play off the functions of the pilots on-base and in-field. There is a balance I will try to achieve and I will do my best to make sure the pacing feels natural. If players think a scene is taking too long there’s some discussion to be had— but I don’t want non-combat to feel like an afterthought. LHG100 set a lot of standards in the original, but you will see I have a different dynamic. I hope that we’ll have concise and clear communication going forward.
