It has to be that global warming, right? I've heard of weird winters in the past, but now it's like EVERY winter. We haven't had a proper winter for years.

The 'storm season' here in Stockholm/Sweden is approaching. It usually begins late May and last all throughout June. But, it's not anything like you guys have. The storm season here is just a bunch of rain and winds on a daily basis. Other than that, we don't have dramatic weather stuff here in the north, not even snow anymore. When I was a kid, I remember that there were plenty of blizzards and stuff, but now days, we're lucky if we get to see those flakes at all.

I kind of like the idea of a gallery feature for the out-of-character information. But, I thought that maybe it could be an opportunity for some community lore building! So, what happened in this picture? Where is this? What is happening now? And so on!

The Spirits Within: Oakridge Chronicles

I found a cool picture that could be somewhere in the Dark Zone, Mordrem attacking some shabby settlement or ruins. I couldn't think of an instance where I could use it in the story, so I thought I'd just leave it here. Maybe we should have a hider by the codex with random concept art that depict Libra? Could be good for inspiration.

A note about Flashbacks, in regards to what @Redrum said.

Whatever happens in Flashbacks will override whatever has been established in the present before that Flashback. For example, Redrum didn't describe Subira to have attended anything in a previous post, but that can be changed in the Flashback and such will reflect the present. So, whatever Redrum established for Subira in past posts is always be overwritten by whatever Redrum writes for Subira in Flashbacks.

The same goes for character relationships. There is no need to feel restricted in Flashbacks because you have established something in a previous post. For example, if your character doesn't know Olivia, but you really want otherwise in order to join in on the after party Flashback, then whatever you establish in the Flashback will be what is true in the present after the Flashback.

I hope this isn't too confusing! Much time-mumbo jumbo, but it makes things and the story dynamic between characters and players.

I'm a lot of things behind closed doors! I don't actually break anything, though. I'm not that crazy.

I've updated everything for the battle in the Hammer mission. You can see the progress in the second post of the OOC.

@FantasyChic
Bummer! Probably going to happen to mine too, at some point. Sometimes I punch it while gaming because of.... you know, rage!

He can stop a transport if he is already on it, it's not a big deal.

Not trying to make anyone feel guilty, just reminding what the deal is. It is possible to advance the story, but it's unfortunate if everyone doesn't get to post before it happens. If there is dialog and interaction involved, it's strange to just ignore it and move on, even if it indeed is possible.

I did mention that if you're going to be active, don't make people wait for you. That being said, it's perfectly fine to reconsider things if you're not feeling it or if you're distracted by other things. It's better to post something short than not post at all, but if it's really difficult, don't hesitate to ask for help or throw in the towel. Nobody here will think any less of someone who does!
