Re: Recruiting for a mission

Hi Raph,
I like your eagerness! And I certainly like the fact that you're encouraging a
sub-plot, it's certainly something that we could do with more of and the way
you've handled it reminds me of the good old days of Blue Dwarf!
One thing I will say however, is try not to do in-sim tasks in the forum, not
everyone uses it and may miss it, it's better to just ask for replies in the
main yahoo group, and it lets people respond in character as well.

vending machines giving free drinks on floor 7. He was wondering if all this
really happened and what would be next.

some, it's just that a lot happened and we didn't had time to really focus on
mining you know? Then he started to tell him everything that happen on the Blue
Dwarf (at least the main events).

a geologist to a ship that doesn't send any mining report to them for so many
years? If I may say Sir, I thing they may be planning on doing an assessment on
this ship and if they found that this ship is not doing at least what he's meant
to be, they may shut it down…"

crew of at least 3 Blue Dwarf members to go with you on that planet. Your
mission will be to explore the planet and see if it has anything we can get for
mining. Over and out."

enough to come with me on a planet we don't know anything about??? I don't even
know anyone on this ship!
