But the Significant number of people are mostly of an insignificant nature so it doesn't matter.

Oh yeah, if we're talking quality over quantity. But your original statement only addressed quantity.

Drunken GM updates are not a good idea, so I will refrain tonight. Be wary how much alcohol your PhD supervisor gives you...

[Dorian]

I drunken Gm all the time. Mind you, I guess that shows in teh quality of my posts. If I didnt, id probably hardly ever update though

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

So what you're saying is that you can't hold your booze? Some philosopher you are... <cue Monty Python's "Philosopher's Song">

[Dorian]

I work in hospitality. Theres a lot of free and very cheap booze around after work. And I work a lot.

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

I meant Montresor can't hold his booze. As you said, you drunk GM all the time. Seems like the booze isn't a limiting factor. (I didn't see your post until after I'd made mine.)

[Dorian]

I'm drunk posting right now

I take offence. I can hold it quite well. Usually I hold it in one hand, most commonly the right, while the other rests on my knee or by my side for balance.

A coworker of mine could tell how drunk he was by the size of the wet spot on his shirt. 98% humidity in Texas would lead to condensation on his glass, which would leave an ever-widening wet spot, 'cause he'd always brace his arm against his belly.

[Montresor]

Either that, or he didn't dress to his left or right.

I've been thinking about your idea to keep Andrea in the masque after the ball. I see no reason why she couldn't wear the whole costume. She's a noble, after all, and it might be a way of hiding her youth. Obviously, it wouldn't function for all occasions, but she's not the combat type anyway.

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

but she's not the combat type anyway.

Perhaps wearing a full gown all the time would help remind her of that.

[Montresor]

I wonder if the air filtration unit in my mask would help protect me from this gas?

The mask has no filtration properties, it is purely decorative. No character opted to bring a rebreather.

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

I had said that there's a small A/C unit in the mask. Obviously not anything that would protect her from a gas attack, but she'd still hope.

That said... I'm starting to imagine Andrea 2.0 with extra paranoia having a full rebreather built into her mask. The one she wears daily around the ship.

[Montresor]

I had said that there's a small A/C unit in the mask. Obviously not anything that would protect her from a gas attack, but she'd still hope.

I missed that, but I'll have to say there isn't anything more useful than a well-designed breathing hole. I'm not handing out tech for free, even minor stuff like that, it tends to go against the setting.

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

Yeah, it was nothing extreme. Just "comfortable for long periods of wear".

[Montresor]

That's no problem. Without a Tech Use skill, it's very probable that Andrea might think it's equivalent to a re-breather.

[Andrea Chan-Gauthier]

Ah, the joys of blind faith in daddy's sweet-16 present.

It will now amuse me for her to act as if she were safe from the gas.

[Montresor]

Edited Andrea's last post to read 'Peraton', not 'Praetus'.

[Montresor]

there are 3 entrances to this room, yes? I will try to construct a barricade at whichever one is most isolated....meant to delay, not truly stop, and use what concealment/cover I found to lay down fire at the the other two.

Four. One on each wall. Imagine the room like a long rectangle. A big long rectangle of danger.
