Bolt's setting is all over the place.  I expect he'd get wooden boats alright.

We can discuss OOC things in the OOC thread. ;)

That way people outside of your thread can comment without looking ... odd.  I think I agree with Cy -- Bolt's character in general is really somewhat detached (being as he generally serves as witness/PoV character/Deus ex Machina for his given plotlines).  It makes sense that he's somewhat passive when not pursuing whatever his motivation in the great game is.

My suggestion is to have the Captain (possibly unsure of what else to do), loop the navigator in and get his opinion on things, since the navigator should be mentioned as a ranking crewman, right up there with first mate.


Also, I had a flashback to the pirate theme and 'Swabbie Jon' back in the day.  Drac, you bastard -- I JUST got that joke. :p

Oh, I figured out an idea for what to do... hehe...

[Dracos]

Noted.  was assuming folks would just grab what they did get and clash where they didn't, thus starting with something that would be obtuse and exotic to all characters, providing a shared lack of understanding to build off of.

Also =)

Also:

If you don't make a post doing something, it doesn't happen.  Even if you make a post presuming something got done.  This is really something I am a stickler on.  I will play along with a lot, but one shouldn't be surprised at all if you declare something to have happened without doing it and the scenery turns the camera over to that not being the case.

Specifically answering, no, nobody posted tying up the first mate, so he is very much not tied up.  Unconscious as he's sleeping heavily for his shift, yes, but tied up no.  Would he be hard to tie up?  Probably not at all, but I find that when I start playing off of 'actions that never happened', things get incoherent real quick.

[Arakawa]

Not-quite fitting decent clothing is still a step up from these rags, so Alberto puts it on. And then binds the man hand and foot for good measure.

Umm... I assumed the first mate was tied up based on this bit.

[Brian]

^^^^^

(Edit: He beat me to it.)

Sleepy GM was sleepy?

[Dracos]

Apparently.  My botch.  I kept looking up for a post where he tied or bound the man and just wasn't seeing it, so was rather confused where it came from.  Sorry about that Jon.

[Dracos]

I know it was uncomfy getting there, but that sort of clash is exactly what I'd hoped out of the starter: Both of you are now aware you're fellow contenders in the game, and your starting roles have provided a bit of friction and doubt, a lack of evenness that causes question to your strategies.

[Dracos]

Again, I'd like to apologize for the slowdown these past two days.  I've been very distracted and that's definitely affected the game.

I fly out tonight, but starting tomorrow we should hopefully start building back momentum toward getting these two starter sections through.

[Dracos]

Cy, you're seeming really quiet/removed.  Do you need help?  Are you feeling stuck or is this just your strategy at the moment?

[CyMage]

All of the above?  As I mentioned in #sr, I've been doing some job hunting and if I get an interview that  takes me to Toronto.  Bolt is somewhat going with the quiet approach until he figures out more, and he's stuck driving the boat.   He can't go exploring the boat unless we want to go off course. :)

[Dracos]

Well, you can stick someone else on it, or let it drift.  It is the middle of the ocean :)

But I just wanted to check.

[Dracos]

Jon/Arakawa:

Just waiting to see Alberto's reaction before I write on.

[Dracos]

I replied to Bolt in PM.  Ocean seems to be having a bit of a stumble, but I assume we'll get moving on it tonight.

Arakawa:
Yes, you don't have to worry.  The crew appears incentivized to find it.
