When I concieved the idea, I had planned on introducing the two pilots more as they were in seperate holodeck doing their part of the mission, but it got too long and I decided to focus on Jaxa and hint at the other two.

I had also planned on the flight crew meeting via a lower decks styled setting and discussing their upcoming mission, but honestly, I think that I laid the foundations of the Chief and Lt. Jaxa well enough to not need to give them more screen time as of yet.

I'm loving what everyone is doing and since there is a bit of time until the action picks up, fleshing out the crew without forcing the story to progress has been quite fun and a good test to see if the bible and wiki are worth the effort and I'd have to say that having that info does make it easier to put a story together.

When Jen suggested we flesh out some NPCs in the first skype meeting, I didn't think I'd have this much fun with them. I was totally wrong.

I would personally like to write about 1-2 NPCs myself. Its always fun, but I'm not sure who isnt' being controlled by someone. Is it listed in the MIA/KIA?

I think the best way to figure that out is to figure out who is currently being played by looking in the active section and then picking a few of the names from the manifest that are not being played or used by people currently writing for them.

I would further suggest that you look at the department of the NPCs you want to play and then talk to the department head about playing one of the npcs or coming together to add another NPC to the ship since there are over 500 beings on the ship.

Good suggestion, or you could invent a crewmen friend of your own. You did mention one last season who was there when Starstriker hit the floor in Five Forward. :)

Yea, but he was an innocent bystander crewman that was there at the right place and right time. Though I suppose I could build him up to something important. Even minorly. I'm going to think about it this week. Although Isaac is great to work on, its nice to talk about another crewmate.

Hey, guys.

I have to apologize; I kinda broke up the flow of the story. :-[ I put together a post and was getting ready to post it when I got the "warning: another post has just been made" message. I went ahead and threw caution to the wind, and posted anyway.

Sure enough, the post immediately before mine involved a character I included in my post. I went back and edited my post to try and make it less jarring to the timeline, but the edit wasn't perfect. I guess I'm a little selfish; I just couldn't bring myself to delete my post. :ohwell

Once again, guys; sorry about the way my post might have interfered with the story-flow. I promise to be more vigilant in the future, and to keep up with the momentum of the story.

Also; if y'all think that my post is too damaging to the story-flow, I'll go ahead and delete it. :-[

Not at all Wraith! It's fine. We can't all post in the right order. Just as long as it's not pages and pages later. :)
I thought it was an excellent post (I saw it right after you wrote it the first time). As always, great job!

KingIsaacLinksr · November 20, 2007, 12:39:29 PM

So long as your not posting about the way past or future, you'll be just fine Wraith1701. I haven't had a chance to look, but I'll take a look now...
