Another Contest

Someone complained that the last contest was too biased in favor of Signal alumni, so in response to that, I present you with contest #2. I found the following image while reading the newspaper today, and was a bit surprised and amused:



Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to correctly identify what this image could possibly have to do with the game. The winner get 5 AP. The winner cannot be Lav.

A Contest! (and Incentive to Check Broadwave)

As I mentioned before, we're using the same planetary guide from the Signal for this game, which means it's cluttered with dozens of piss-ant little planets and moons I made up as part of minor plot points or as groundwork for storylines I never got to. Kamchatka is one such world that I created as a bit of backstory, but never got around to using. Until now.

So, I'm going to have a spectacularly egocentric contest/scavenger hunt, inspired by one a.m. insomnia. The first person to correctly identify how Kamchatka came up in the Signal will get five free advancement points for their character. In the highly likely event no one gets it, the prize will go to the person with the closest guess. If no one is close, then the prize will go to the most amusing guess/comment to this post.

If this goes over well, I'll try to have more contests as the game goes on, as I think of stupid ways for you to compete.

Happy Hunting.

Serenity Paper Model

The most awesome link I have seen this day, week, month, and very possibly year:

Make Your Own Serenity Paper Model Ship.

Thoughts On Eli

Who: Mansi and Lester
When: Day
Where: Cockpit
What: Lester works on the console and insults Eli. Mansi rises to the captain's defense.
