[Shadowrun] OOC: Old Dogs of War Redux

Well, I'll try to post. But no guarentees.

Oh, it's hard playing the new guy who doesn't know anything about the business.

Okay I'm having problems-I'm more than willing to post but I need more to do it right, in my own opinion. Which basically means I'm not used to the Old Dogs style of posting. I'm wary of just making shit up, and running with it, so if I am slow it's because I am waiting for your cues.

Whose cues?

Roger Arneault · Post by **Roger Arneault** » Wed Oct 10, 2007 9:21 pm

Whomever.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 4:25 am

While, I realize that GM cues haven't been particularly numerous lately. Part of that is, I've always run Old Dogs as a pretty independent game. Additionally, I honestly don't have much more to contribute at the moment.

Bleh, sorry all, sort of vanished there for a bit. Issues and stuff, I'll get a post up asap

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 10:35 pm

Okay, since the board decided to eat my posts from Friday, we'll try again.

Ideally, I'd like to see the introduction wrapped up by sometime next week. At the maximum, two weeks. I'd like to start moving on the first job (and Part 1) in early November. Can we start working to make this happen? How much more time do you folks want for the getting acquainted and pre-planning side of things?

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 3:10 am

I'm a go at any time.

Alleycat · Post by **Alleycat** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 4:47 am

Me too, was just waiting to see if Ajax had anything else to add to the conversation there before calling it a night from Alley's perspective at least since we had a plan, ish

3278 · Post by **3278** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 1:42 pm

I'm good to go.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 1:18 pm

What's your avatar from, Kai?

Alleycat · Post by **Alleycat** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:14 pm

Google image search for 'pale blonde straight hair' or something like that, no idea really

The girl in question is much younger than Alley is, the original shot shows her narrow shoulders more, but the expression and coloration were good.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:27 pm

Damn. Couldn't find her - ah, too bad you probably don't have the original image anymore - but wow is that a fun image search for me.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 7:22 pm

I've been hanging on to some Peter fiction since soon after we started, waiting until I had more of it done, but I haven't made much progress since the initial burst, so I thought I might as well get up what I have, in case I never finish it. Plus, all this nattering about Marita should make more sense. [Like, now you can tell she's not the girlfriend he accidentally killed in his sleep, early in his condition.]

It's, uh, not very good. I did the burst at work, and was distracted, and much of it would be radically different if I were to go back and edit it, but I think it's worth reading, anyway, if you have some time to waste. Enjoy.

Sorry guys and gals. A lot has been going on at work and in my personal life, so this has taken a bit of a backseat. I'll try to devote some time to it before the start of the coming week.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 10:12 pm

Tuesday is the cut-off date folks, unless a majority objects. I'll be closing down the introduction thread on Tuesday, and opening up Chapter 1. Chapter 1 will open with the final meeting with Blake, pre-op. There's obviously more planning that will go on off-screen, but I want to keep things moving. In the communal story-telling style that is PB3, we really don't need to go over every single planning detail.

If you have specific things you want addressed outside of that, let me know here. We can get some sideline posts done in the beginning of the Chapter 1 thread before the meeting begins.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 8:52 am

Sounds bueno.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Mon Nov 19, 2007 8:12 am

Please! This is the longest bar conversation I've ever had without a drink.

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 3:06 pm

Sounds good to me.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 3:08 pm

If not today, then tomorrow. I only had yesterday off, and just finished working about 70 hours over 5 days. I start another 60 to 70 hour week tonight, so this is on pause for a day or two at most.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 8:14 pm

Sorry for the delay, and for writing half a novel. And for assuming a lot on the part of the GM: Jeff, let me know if there are any problems.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 4:57 am

Finally posted, sorry for taking so long.

Great post. Really, really good. Long, but enjoyable.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 7:05 pm

I'll try to get the new thread started before I leave on Thursday. Work is absolutely sucking me dry at the moment.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Wed Nov 28, 2007 2:33 am

Things on the homefront aren't so great. I just finished five days at work in which I spent more time at work, than sleeping and eating combined. I've got problems I've got to help with the pops with before leaving, and three physical therapy appointments to run the recovering moms to, plus need to get ready for this trip. So really, this long winded post means that the game is officially on pause for the GM until he returns next week. At that point, the new chapter is a go. Sorry folks, but life is too crazy, and I really want to enjoy this trip. So I'm focusing on that.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:38 pm

There are currently 2450 views of the IC thread, but only 174 posts. Excepting the possibility of people reading more than one post per view - which is probably canceled by our own re-readings - that's still 14 views per post, several more than there are players + GM. So I know there are people out there reading this. Hit us up, would you? Let us know who you are, so's Jeff's gots more push to post, and the rest of us know this isn't just self-indulgent literary masturbation. [Not that I have a problem with that.]

It's like, I'm running this game on freespeech, with one player and one GM, on the least populous board in the known universe, and there are ten times as many views as posts; who the fuck is that? It's strange, not knowing who your audience is. Shout us out; let us see who's enjoying this. Incentivise.

I've mentioned it before that I was enjoying reading your game. Though you guys lost quite some momentum recently.

Big Jim · Post by **Big Jim** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 6:24 pm

I'm always reading.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 12:14 am

Like Paul, I'm still here, too.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 1:05 am

Things got a bit hectic with my dad's situation once I got back to PA. Finally back and settled, so I'll be working on starting the new threads between tonight and tomorrow. At latest, we should be moving again by Saturday morning.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:00 am

Paul, I kinda took the liberty to make a post regarding Roger and Ajax a few posts previous to the ones you made. It's a bit further down the timeline than yours. If you're unhappy about those I can remove it and we can pretend like I never posted it.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 12:36 pm

Shit I somehow completely missed that. I'll fix mine.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sat Dec 15, 2007 2:16 am

Fixxored.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 9:39 pm

Jeff requested that I let y'all know that due to icestorms up his way he has no power and not sure when he'll be able to get on to post.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 8:17 am

Yeah, life was fucking hell over the weekend. I left the laptop (with the posts on it) at work Friday night. Saturday came one nasty ass ice storm, which left me without power at home until just before I had to get ready for work Sunday, no commercial power to the cable plant at home (which meant no internet until some time Monday) and our wireless died at work on Friday night. I ended up pretty much sleeping through most of Tuesday after way too little sleep all weekend, and actually had plans with friends most of today. I really didn't anticipate things being near this busy before the holiday.

But, I did get most of the editing/proofing done on two of the three posts. I should be able to get the last one done sometime tomorrow, though I have no idea if it will be in the morning or late evening/overnight. One of the two. I'll try my damndest to get everything up ASAP, because I'm really tired of the delays on my end. Thankfully, I'm back to a normal work schedule after the 1st of the year. I absolutely cannot wait for this shit to be over.
