Fan Council OOC Thread

[Cannonshop]

I took a little liberty here-Katrina hasn't abdicated just yet.

[Lord Harlock]

It must not be easy with young Victor and well cancer for Katrina.

So since I'm new here and all, I figure I'd ask.  Is Kapteyn still in effect, or has that been dropped?

[Lord Harlock]

I'd guess that's between the Free Worlds League, Capellan Confederation, and Draconis Combine.

Question: are we at the end of 3039, or the end of 3038?  I keep seeing late months in 3039, but the map thread was for planets each faction owned 1 January 3039. 

[Iron Mongoose]

I've seen both as well, so I'm also not quite sure.  Oddly, one might argue that early to mid 40 might be better, since that would give the FWL time to wrap up Andurian, and truely get every war in the books and let each faction start with a clean slate.  Early 39, what we had been given innitaly, leaves the FWL engaged in a civil war, which is hardly a recipie for having the same chance to particapate in events.  There's no saving the CC in this era, so I won't waste too much energy on it, but as for the other three, I guess its just a question if weather we'd like to have the War of 39 in the books, or if we'd like to leave it still to come.

[Hugin]

Isn't this a call to be made by the GM?

I first thought we were playing from the start of 3039, but after receiving the Dec 3039 message from Comstar, we've planned accordingly for the end of 3039. Considering the year though, I can see why he's asking. Makes a HUGE difference.

[Lord Harlock]

Well, Melissa is either about to enter her second trimester with little Yvonne Katrina Steiner-Davion, or she has a suckling babe. That makes a big impact on things. Oh and that whole headache from that little war that may or may not happened yet depending on the starting year. For the FRR, it matters little whether it is Dec 3038 or Dec 3039 since historically the FRR did not participate. No, we sat in the mead halls to drink and party little realizing that beyond the Pirate Kingdoms came actually competent invaders.

We really should have listened to that Prophet of the Third Dawn in the Third Estate of the Riksdag instead of having him shipped to a mental institution when he warned that demons from Dis would soon destroy the FRR except for a nub. Perhaps his apocalyptic words would have roused more and kept him out of the looney bin if he wasn't mostly nude save for a conveniently placed children's toy. One will never know.

Exactly.  Since I'm RPing MSD, she's either stuck on Liao and preggers, or probably just getting back home(I have to imagine children need be a certain age for space travel, for safety).  The whole war thing too, but I'm self-centered.

[Fatebringer]

Get em used to space travel early That's what I say. No travel disorientation when the grow up. True children of the stars... that's what we did for our daughter, and look at her, normal, well-adjusted with a healthy inquisitive appetite. Look at her using the magnifying glass to study that ant hill and she's naming each ant after planets in the inner sphere too. She's learning stellar cartography at the same time, isn't that precious. Yeees, completely normal that one... no Kali, let mommy show you how it's done.

[Iron Mongoose]

Well, it not huge for Kali and Sunny, 6-7 or 8-9, but meaningful.  And there are a few other loose ends as a resualt of our limited war particapation, too.

[Fatebringer]

Well, it would be a big load off the CC's shoulders if it was the end of 3039 as the war put a big strain on the FS and they were still repairing instead of ready to assault and choosing to continue the 4th Succession War instead of picking on the Dracs

And that is why Ragnar will not have a playdate with the Liao children.

[Iron Mongoose]

Eh, Kali could do better
