@Renos There's going to be a 'fabricated' course with obstacles lick 'mock' nebulas that will make sensors go loopy, making pilots manually navigate Asteroids for the dodging of kaji I go like inch inch beep fall start again Traenor No weapons... that's fine. Like they say in stock car racing... rubbin' is racin'! kaji but how do you race? * Traenor shores up structural integrity Brell2334 wrong character on the darwin for me, Lyldra is kinda like Troi never let her drive * Traenor and adds bumpers... @Renos The finishing positions are likely to be detemined before we begin and the trick will be in crafting excellent sims kaji ahhh @Renos You can pass, bump, harass, struggle and clear obstacles till your heart is content kaji does the Victory or Darwin have a team yet? @Renos Darwin has a couple of teams lining up Traenor So when the race is set to begin, each team will be assigned OOC their finishing order? @Nugra Victory has enough for one team. @Renos We've had some interest over on the Victory for a hybrid team and are looking for Darwinian volunteers to make it happen @Nugra The Victory team is presently made up of Vess as pilot and Rosek as Engineer. @Renos Yes Traenor * Iy gets a good seat near a viewport @Renos This is to save everyone powersimming to win Brell2334 my mutlispecies MIPNPC is a helm officer so she would be looking o join a group kaji does it need to be our pc, or can we use a PNPC? KaelThomas I'm shocked you would think I would do what it takes to win Renos Traenor Oh, I'll still powersim... hehe... even if I don't win... @Nugra PNPCs are allowed. :) They just have to be established. @Renos Not that I am accusing anyone of powesimming. It may even be the first to sim happens to win, coz they made it so... lol KaelThomas ::Turned on the engine, crossed the line first:: Winning! kaji lol Traenor haha! @Renos So lol, we decided predetermining the finishing places based at least partly on OOC build up sims from the teams would be most fair Iy If someone tells KT the Ashes are up for grabs, it'll get dirty fast Jellico I have to go everyone... Sorry :( Iy NOOOOO @Nugra Thanks for making it, Jellico! kaji bye bye @Renos Thanks for stopping by Jellico! Iy See ya Jellico :) Traenor See ya, Jellico ! Brell2334 take care KaelThomas Cya!~ Jellico Thanks. See you all IC soon :) Iy In a bit mate! * Iy salutes ← Jellico has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client) kaji it got quiet Iy I have an announcement! KaelThomas oh dear @Nugra sigh @Renos So in today's mini workshop we thought it would be nice to exhange idea about fleshing out little know species Spring being the time of new life and all Ayiana_Sevo Read my sims of Xanti. kaji wait is that the same announcement or a different one Iy rofl, I totally don't have an announcement you may now ridicule me @Nugra Nah, I'll just demote you. :P * kaji ridicules Iy * Traenor flings back Iy 's pie at nem Iy I'm a civvy! Can't be demoted! @Renos A lot of this could equally be applied to fleshing out new characters. * Iy catches the pie in nir mouth * Nugra opens airlock. @Renos You can be pushed out an airlock though ^^, haha Iy I can! @Nugra Does anyone here play a little known specie? Traenor Apparently our captains are of a similar mindset... Ayiana_Sevo Pahkwa-thanh PNPC Iy They are the same person :o @Renos So it'd be nice to hear from everyone what ideas they might have about fleshing out little known species kaji Sevo's terrifying velociraptor Ayiana_Sevo :D kaji I can't even look at his bio Iy Take what has been stipulated in canon and use that as the bones to flesh out something more detailed @Nugra What challenges do you face simming this character realistically for the species, Ayiana? Iy by asking the question "Why" a lot! @Renos I personally like to try and avoid using well worn human phrases as well Because why would they use them? They are not human and would surely have their own catchphrases kaji I've been having fun expanding the Pandronian species page! Ayiana_Sevo actually, I based his model on a Carcharodontosaurus kaji ... Ayiana_Sevo http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Xanti_Ilas_Ysa_Liss kaji no Ayiana_Sevo yes he is friendly kaji I watched Jurassic park I know the truth LtCmdr_Richards so now we have two Geckos :o Ayiana_Sevo jurassic park's dinosaurs are wrong they dont have feathers Traenor That's a fine looking character Ayiana! Iy Charcharodontosaurus was one of my favourite dinos as a kid Ayiana_Sevo which is also wrong @Renos I loved reading about the Pahkwa-thanh in the Titans novels Ayiana_Sevo i know hence why i created one and there is so little, so i just invent stuff as i go along I base them heavily on what we know of dinosaurs and reptiles LtCmdr_Richards Paul (Leo) did that with the Pythros I for one can't wait to see you guys flesh out some lesser races :) @Renos A lot of people have developed little known species to great success but if you havent done it before, where would you recommend someone start? LtCmdr_Richards Start with the basics Ayiana_Sevo also, i tossed an idea to nugra about an...assistant...to Xanti that is a member of a forbidden race yea LtCmdr_Richards mannerisms, culture, religion @Nugra When it came to Nugra, I took what was known and tried to figure out how they would be. Ayiana_Sevo start with what is known on membeta/alpha, sb118 Iy and then ask yourself why those details are true Ayiana_Sevo then do research on the type of organism you think they best resemble. in my case, dinosaurs and lizards CeciriAriadust Bear in mind though, we can avoid membeta. Ayiana_Sevo actually i use membeta heavily for research Traenor Descriptive text. Often it's not what or how they say things that sell a new species, it's their actions, their idiosyncracies... Iy yep - only soft canon Lt_Skyfire I think there's already a process for forbidden or restricted species -- see Victor Frankenstein, the Medusan. * CeciriAriadust points at the Cygnian species (which I play as a primary) Iy there is - it involves CO approval @Nugra So, if you do have an interest in an restricted species, contact your captain. :) Ayiana_Sevo I DID :D just, the time for his return hasn't come yet he's sticking it out on Earth for this mission @Nugra That was a forbidden, Ayiana. :D The guidance is only for Restricted. :D Ayiana_Sevo oh * kaji pats Sevo on head. Brell2334 Sometimes I have a hard time writing for bolains with all of the conflicting info on the net, at one point when I first made brell our wiki had diffrent info even Ayiana_Sevo i guess i should talk to you more about my idea then? @Nugra Send me an email. :D Ayiana_Sevo i did at one point. its probably buried in gmail somewhere @Nugra if you use IMs, I've got them too and usually available. :D kaji I use that to get ahold of him instead of texting because he'll actually check it @Nugra Oh, side note, for those of you who are interested in more details on the Darwin/Victory partnership, you can find out about it here: http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Darwin/Victory_Joint_Partnership Traenor Sigh. I'm going to create a new species, based on Boston Terriers, and all they ever do is pester people typing on a computer. I got lots of experience with that. :\ Ayiana_Sevo oh. i dont really use IM, unless you are on google hangouts kaji :) @Nugra I do have google hangout. :) nugra@starbase118.net @Renos Traenor lol they sound fun. xD I bet they have big boodly eyes Traenor Haha the biggest. kaji we should create a new pet species! @Renos Cool idea tbh Traenor kaji , funny when the Multispecies Initiative was announced I actually kinda thought that was what it was... kaji lol! ← Nugra has left kaji baby signed him out Iy LOL KaelThomas haha → Nugra has joined ⓘ ChanServ set mode +o Nugra Traenor All this talk of pets made him nervous? hehe kaji he's slamming on the keys @Nugra and back. Children. kaji yes, he is the only pet we're allowed Iy Hehehe Brell2334 ::smirks:: @Renos lol kaji oh, I wish I could stick him in a kennel with food and water some days! kaji I think he needs fed, so I better for! @Renos So Sevo/Kaji/Victorians why not tell our Darwin buddies what you've all been getting up to IC kaji *go @Renos Same for Iy/Brell and all the Darwinians Ayiana_Sevo Ayiana just punched a romulan in the face Iy Now I have an image of people sitting around in bonnets Thanks Renos kaji :) @Renos lol! kaji we're trying to rescue you guys' captain Iy Iy just gatecrashed Valdivia 's ride in the turbolift and met Traenor (or ne will have when I answer my tags tomorrow!) kaji brb @Renos i can't wait to sim for my medical officer Tarna again I wanted to do it yesterday but time got the better of me (again) Traenor The question is, did the Romulan deserve it? Ayiana_Sevo probably not but ayiana was so furious for losing two teammates Traenor Sounds valid to me! ;) KaelThomas I'm looking forward to simming big bird Traenor How's the remodel on the Victory panning out? It looks so sharp! Ayiana_Sevo ... Brell2334 hehehe Ayiana_Sevo the new pic is on the wiki. i dont know if its stats, loadouts, equip is updated on there * Traenor gives broom to Kael... @Nugra We haven't gotten onboard yet, IC. :) KaelThomas Just a few feathers Traenor @Nugra We're still on the USS Achilles. Iy Eerie is lodged in the airlock Ayiana_Sevo the achilles has an AI, which i love Traenor Ah! So the excitement of a new ship is yet to come then. Iy it's a bit of a rogue if I remember rightly Brell2334 thought that name sounded familar Ayiana_Sevo i think the idea of sapient AIs is fascinating. one of the big reasons why i love Andromeda @Renos I loved that show too ← kaji has quit (Remote host closed the connection) @Nugra Did you notice the empty, locked down, AI framework on the Victory new design? :D Ayiana_Sevo ....no? :D does that mean... Brell2334 oh my... @Nugra The new Victory is capable of taking on an AI down the line. :D Ayiana_Sevo I VOLUNTEER TO SIM ONE Iy don't be shy, Sevo, let us know if you're interested! :D @Nugra LOL. Thanks, but there is already one planned. ;) It's not a PNPC, it's going to be a CPNPC. :D Ayiana_Sevo CPNPC? @Nugra er....CNPC Ayiana_Sevo CNPC? Lt_Skyfire PNPC, I think. @Nugra Community Non Player Character Ayiana_Sevo which means @Nugra Nope I'm inventing a term. :D @Renos Ah we have those Only we call them shared LOL Lt_Skyfire Nugra: Ah. Okay. How's plans for rebecca skyfire coming? @Nugra Which means that the bio will be written out and then when she's installed everybody will be allowed to sim the AI. Haven't gotten to that part yet. Shhhh! :P Ayiana_Sevo oh Brell2334 isnt that just a regular npc thought thats why there is a P in PNPC for personal @Renos Yeah we're putting an empahsis on the sharing aspect though because people are often really shy about using npcs Iy I think there should be a law passed to stop Nugra making up abbreviations xD @Nugra There will be more restrictions than on the NPC to help keep balance, hence I'm coining new term. :) → TylerKelly has joined @Nugra So, not quite a NPC, but not quite a PNPC. @Renos Yeah. Its like our shared ones also. xD Brell2334 though I like the term CNPC, since I notice most just NPCs are often one time use TylerKelly Wow, it's like a full on fleet chat in here. @Renos Love it Darwin/Victory joint ship chat Iy On that note, I must away! TylerKelly Ah, cool. You want privacy? I can come back later? @Renos Indeed, we're actually just finishing Iy and become an AP (asleep player!) @Renos Anyone who wants to hang around and chat, do feel free! Iy catch you guys again soon! @Renos Thanks to all who attended! it's been absolutely fantastic |
