I'm Pacific, what is AMERICAN to you?
Central. My flanks are protected by two oceans and two coasts. The only threat to me now is from.... Space...

I don’t know if some skills we already have, so let me know if there is repetition.
Skills will go from basic, proficient, skilled, expert and master... a basic one to five scale. Still pondering if all non-exotic skills will start off with a 1 ranking or not or if it'll be based on background (ie a military background gives you a basic skill in a yuge swath of skills. Subskills are ones with... sub skills. And Exotic skills are ones that are... well.. exotic.

If nobody replies by then I say a coin flip. I’ll check it out.Well if there isn't a tiebreaker by the time I write up my next post (which should be up by Saturday at the latest) I'll find some way to arbitrarily choose a tiebreaker since I can't have both options win everytime.
Also I've been incrementally updated all sorts of stuff in the other thread while trying to prevent myself from getting too lost in the minutiae but expanded on the organizations spoiler tab and some bits. Will be adding more to it as I get time.
We gain favor from the Marshal Service but lose influence. However our Interrogation goes up to 3. Though Blasterbot would have no loss or gain for the Marshals., wed also have a Diplomacy 1 rather than an Interrogation 3.
Good stuff then. Variation is always good.Shorter post this time. If we're stuck at two participants at the time and you both vote... there's no need for me to dilly dally for a day or two if the circumstances allow so I'll see about making the Questing posts a bit more rapid pace then the current two a week pace if the tempo of the Quest and my own time table allows it. With that said, that means there potentially could be another RP post Monday or even tomorrow if circumstances permit.
I updated the character with blasterbots choices since he won the coinflip.
Also expanded the background elements of the RP a great deal... adding new spoiler tabs for "assets/facilities" and filled out various organizations including foreign countries, the corporations, NGO's and adding details on personnel (generic and named ones like our Marshal). At this juncture I think the only thing that will be added to this Quest in the near future will be a simply resource managing mechanic. Most of what needs to be done now is just "filling out" the very empty and underpopulated information tabs I already have.
There'll probably be a flurry of updates if and when we get past this current Mission and we get onto hopefully fun, potentially Quest destroying/making decisions in the last stages of the 'introductory phase.' And as always, feel free to suggest stuff.
Actually you'd get Diplomacy 2... I decided that since character improvement likely wouldn't expand much past once we get past the character introduction stage, any skill (that isn't exotic) that you put an initial point in will be automatically boosted up to the number 2 to start off. So it'd be Diplomacy 2 as opposed to Interrogation 3 AFAIK. This was done so the character wouldn't be some weird... diet generalist but seem like someone who is very diverse and capable and thus capable of actually commanding a hopefully worldwide semi-covert agency or organization without being some sort of Alpha Super Skilled Superman (yet) .
Good stuff then. Variation is always good.
Edit 1: Hmm, I’m liking one or two. 1 gives a lot of favor and influence but 2 gives us an informant.
Edit 2: Wait we already have an informant.
So is it useful to have more informants or more influence? I think I’ll go with 1 then.Oh yeah... it's the informant trait that you already earned from before. It's more of a 'neutral' option when it comes to the whole influence/favors game.

Blasterbot has chosen two so another coin flip if nobody else votes.
Also what kind of gun do we have?
You’re going to have to do a coin flip for coffee or Pepsi. That’s great.
