No, I had complaints from another member who thought that it wasn't the way a guy in security should be acting...these guys are pretty mucht he police aboard the Harbinger, both to the crew and the civillians Ultimately it's up to the character's creator to decide how a character will act in a situation. Doesn't matter what they "shouldn't" do as long as it's not godmodding. People at my work have jobs that they're not supposed to do stuff but that didn't stop one of my managers Sarah saying the "F" word in the store because she got mad at someone for messing with the paging system. And another of my managers, Bryan saying some lady looked like a crack head when she was trying to return something without a receipt and she looked like she lived on the streets. If characters were always on the "straight and narrow", always doing exactly as their job or rules dictated they wouldn't be realistic or believable (unless their robots that can't defy their programming).

Kay, time for a sudden gear change.
I've been thinking about when exactly the first chapter of the RP is going to be over and then people can then start doing their own "mini-chapters", as well as what will be considered the start of the second "official" chapter and it's in-RP starting date. (so that for example, if the second chapter chronologically starts a month or two after the first, people can start "birthday threads" that celebrate the birthday of their character during that gap.)
Also, about the topic of space-jumps and cryostasis. Specifically, when do ya'll think these measures are going to be taken during the course of the trip? Although it will take 10~20 years round trip (pending on Kep, but you can throw your ideas in on that too) most of that time will be spent taking into account only jumping, as it would be rather boring if the crew merely went into cryo-sleep after leaving the solar system and automating the jumps up until they reach their destination or a random encounter. (basically 10~20 years roleplay time vs. 10~20 years chronological time.)
The reason I ask this is to put things a bit into perspective, as starting tomorrow, the main RP thread will be exactly 8 months old and all we really have done is move a bunch of furries into a greenhouse with minor distractions and chit-chat along the way.

Well, that's something I'm still trying to figure out...but with the current pace, I'm guesing I've got plenty of time to work something out-though they're also going to be stopping by every planet int he solar system before actually leaving.

Ah-Freaking-men to that lot. Wow! Go Doyle! <3 *dances with him* Thank you ladies, I'm just doing what I think is right and fair. A dance if you wish Ms. Vap? *dances back with Vap* (OOC: Posting ahead of some slackers since doing so is Darfy tested and Shani approved.) Suddenly HE is sponsored by Kix cereal? But seriously I quite enjoyed Darfix post. Elaborate, descriptive, and long it is what you expect the ideal post for me to see on HE. Good job man. Although since he has way more characters then me I really can't match his post in sheer size but I'll try my best. And Zaos' post was awsome in a different way. That's how I'd expect a character like his to react in a real world scenario. Stick it to the man! People aren't always nice and can be prone to anger despite whatever occupation they have. His post made the character feel more realistic to me as being that expressionate with emotion. I've been thinking about when exactly the first chapter of the RP is going to be over and then people can then start doing their own "mini-chapters", as well as what will be considered the start of the second "official" chapter and it's in-RP starting date. About this I was wondering this same thing a while back as to when the first chapter will end. But before it does I figure there has to be some kind of conclusion to it and everyone gets to finish what they're doing at that moment so no one gets cut off.

----------------------------Darfix's latest post---------------------------- However, as he got to a band of roaming females, his running turned to a confident, manly stride with his pecks pointed outward... Everbody outta da way! Man-boobs coming through! Kuria could only bring herself to smile warmly at Skine and Dalvis, that is to say, until the randy wolf made his way to the trio of girlfolk. Watch out, Big bad wolf is on da hunt fo little red riding hoes. "Well howdy there!" Kalte exclaimed, following up with a doggish whistle, "Am I seeing triple trouble or am I seeing TRIPLE trouble? Do I need to write the lot of you up for distracting an officer while he's on duty?" Am I seeing triple A writing, or am I seeing TRIPLE A writing? Do I need to write you up for scoundrel of the week? he asked in a friendly enough manner, though it was kind of creepy as well, kind of like a senior citizen watching a couple of teenagers shopping for clothing at a Shopko. And kalte was shopping there for rapist glasses and a pedo-beard. Darfix soon found his secluded area occupied by a cute young sheep as well as himself. *noms* Sukira watched with minimal interest as the two hyenas and Colonel Chester the Cheetah maintained order and went about sounding the trumpets or what. Colonel Chester just loves sounding trumpets and what-ing. Perhaps the doggy needed to be spanked with a newspaper? *spanks* you very much. Then again, if it was the latter, she'd have to then figure out what Mardi Gras was first... Tony: Mardi Gras is Mardi-Grrrrreat! -which was probably a good place for her, too bad it didn't come equipped with seat belts and restraints though. And an automatic tranquilizer administration mechanism. "You're the next contestant on The Price is Right..." she added with a very playful, feminine giggle. The Joke is Right! ----------------------------Chelle's latest post---------------------------- Ben farted. Kaeruen walked quickly away from the crowd and to the bar. "Whiskey. And don't look at me funny, I know what I want." The barkeep didn't say anything, but quickly poured a shot of whiskey. You don't waste any time seeking out the good stuff, eh? Kaeruen tossed it down, and then looked at the barkeep, "you're gonna be awful busy if you only fill shot glasses. Gimme a proper glass so you can tend to other folks." He's probably not as "busy" now that Nellie has gone away. So now, he strolled casually through the ship, trying to get a feel for the layout of the ship. He wanted to know as much about the ship he was on, so that he would be best able to do his job. As he passed the bar, he heard a familiar accent. And quickly abandoned his stict stroll-mapping regimen for a nice chat instead. An Irishwoman? Here? Let's check this out... Because the cultural diversity on the Harby is so narrow, an Irish person is practically exotic. He gave a Kaeruen a wide smile and spoke in his broadest Irish accent. Because a narrower Irish accent wouldn't sound as sexy. "Oh, I'm just an engineer. What about you? What part of Ireland are you from, lass?" And here I thought engineers where too proud to call themselfs "just an engineer" "I get to go on short exploration trips when we get to new places, but otherwise, I get to enjoy a space cruise." How casual of him to say on a trip to know-not-where. ----------------------------Doyle's latest post---------------------------- "Ha ha ha, God? Has a nice ring to it but far too pretentious for my taste." Not for long... "You may call me Doyle if you wish, my spiky amigo. And you?" "Call me seƱor Herbango, Ai-Ai-Ai!!!" "Ha, the old porn in the Bible trick. Have you been a naughty boy?" You mean you know that trick too? have you been a naughty boy? "Really, I'm just having fun with you and this fanclub you have going on." You're already having fun with Em's fanclub? And I thought you needed help with that... "Hmmm, maybe that's why....I can tell we're going to be good friends, I can see you know how to have a ton of fun." Admit it, you just want sex. "But really you should be more concerned with the certain "someone" half checking you out that I saw when I was up there." The female half of the crew? "I think you know who I'm talking about. Be wary of that one, something in those eyes tell me about the thoughts of you." Repeat that in redneck? mah engrish ain't so good. "And I think you may want it as well, but that's just my opinion. Who knows?" Ben: You don't want none of dis shit! Em: oh, ah think I do! "You certainly make his life more interesting little one." Yoko: I'm not little, I'm 16! I have boobs! *rips shirt open* (she'll make anyone's life more interesting) My piece of advice to you for the future is that you may want to lay off the sugar a tad, trust me your kidneys and him will thank you later. Don't trust him, he wants to sell your kidneys! "Remember crack kills, and knowing is half the battle, yooooo Joe! Boy that show was funny, sorry I think I drifted off for a sec." Please wait here while I drift off for a sex. To get her attention Doyle picked up a few tiny pebbles from the ground and flicked them at Fizz's antennae. Big fucking mistake. Being unseen it appeared as if Em was the one standing in the spot where the pebbles were being flung from. Em = Sia food ("I figure I'll say hello to his other fan, it's only proper and she seems like such a nice person. Although I'm not to sure about the funky head gear.") Your doubts are not misplaced, the "funky headgear" is really a millenia-old demon of wrath and horror, and can only be subdued with Head & Shoulders. Doyle spoke to Em once again "I just thought of something, I bet you would be good at acupuncture. You ever thought about going into that? Em often went into "acupuncture" when people pissed him off. You'd never have to spend the money on needles so it would be an interesting investment opportunity. But he would have to spend on soothing lotion. Them needles don't come out easy. At least you could donate to score some quick cash right? Em's butt can even be used in get rich quick schemes? rightious! Man, the next chance we get we're going to the bar for some fun. What do you think about some drinks later?" Then make sure Nellie isn't tending, and don't order alcohol. you've been warned. Doyle then turned his attention back to those hyena's on stage to see what else may occur. Nothing as interesting as what just did occur, I'll tell you that much right thar.

I didn't say any of the girls were whores, that's what I said Kalte is on the hunt for. And what are your thoughts on the rest of the post?

Am I the only one that is offended at having their posts made fun of?
Benny, please leave my posts alone. I do not appreciate you making fun of what I write, so please just leave my posts alone. Thank you.

I think what he said about my post was quite funny and I don't mind at all, but really it's all in good fun. Those who don't want Benny to make these kind of comments about their posts should simply ask him in a polite manner. Chelle was kind enough to say please and ask in a respectful way so I believe Benny wouldn't mind if he honored her wishes. People come here to have fun and being forceful isn't the way to ask others to do things cause that only gives a negative reaction. Everyone deserves to be happy with what they do as long as it doesn't take away the happiness and comfort of others here. Although constructive criticism can help improve the way others post, just try to be tactful.

Aww Chelle, hun, the only reason I ripped on ya was so that you wouldn't feel left out. I only intended to make fun of Doyle's post at first, but then I did the bit on Darf and you so that everyone would be made fun of equally.
What did you find offensive this time anyway? That Ben farted? I'm sure I said nastier things about Doyle (pretentious, naughty boy, unintelligible, and that he just wants a piece of Em's pie) and he took it well enough. One loses many laughs by not laughing at oneself.
If you insist, I'll leave out of my commentary from now on, but your dis-contentedness will make you less involved with the HE community.
And really, this place has nothing on the boards Shani has also administrated, such as Koopa Kingindom (yes, a super Mario world RP), a place of such incest and cannibalism that it would put any of my shenanigans to shame. Welcome to the internet.

Yes, all good humor there. Heck, if it weren't for our couple of jokers, we'd be dead.
For a forum without some humor, is a boring and slow and dead forum.
And if we really went and let it die, then I would've picked up the warning signs left months ago.
