http://politedissent.com/ - this blog might not be innately funny, but it does involve comic books, medicine, and comic book medicine, as well as a bunch of medical reviews of House M. D.

This week is fine by me, but I'll be out of town on a birthday party next weekend.

Lookie what I found! A videoreview!

Anee-ways, I'll probably be joining in on the fun somewhere around the Summer. Just too many people at once offering to try the game.

Sunday. Unless my ISP does the bad thing (Cutting me off the internets for almost a week for no reason), I'll play.

Today (Saturday) is doable for me, too, but no earlier than 1300 or so. Or, any time on Monday.

I will be out of town on May 1-3, and not sure if I'll be able to play on Sunday. If I do play, option 2 seems most favourable.

Will do, today or before the game tomorrow.

I'll have to pass, too. I've got some work to do today and will probably be too tired to play anything by the evening.

Yes, I'm with you. Just gotta come up with a name...

I have a D&D session this Saturday, but next Saturday and Saturday after that seem open enough.

I don't know, I can't really make myself comfortable with the idea of it... but hey, I'll try to drop by next time you guys have a session to have a look. Who knows, maybe I'll get hooked again!

Great, and thanks for the Wiki link!
Darky, that's what the community is for, after all! Sure, we don't have a game to play constantly, but you know we're all ready to jump at an opportunity.

So yeah, I'll have a look around that Wiki and try to come up with a character. Which, I think, would be something like an engineer-in training. Wiki here tells me operations personnel also study "service specializations such as communications", which sounds like an excellent thing to minor in.

That sounds fun, but what about those of us who are unfamilliar with the Star Trek 'verse?

Well, it's just that I had to spend 3 hours or so a day on that grind, assisted by at least a hauler and a guarding ship to fuel a simple ship-building operation.
That thing I can tolerate if I get the hawt, hawt RP action in between the mining runs, or switch to more RP and less grind-centric activities. Running a bar on some station does indeed sound great, especially seeing that most of my characters tend to be merchants/shopkeepers of some sort.

That interview sounds great, but I don't really want to go back to EVE. While it does have a great setting and a lot of background info, it tends to feel like a job. If there really will be things to do on stations that don't fall into the standard "mine, refine, build, sell" grind, or some politics going on, I might decide to make a comeback.

Not quite dead yet!
After two most active (And, in fact, only) English-speaking RP communities left our European server, one seeking greener pastures with Americans, the other putting TR on hold while new features are getting implemented, RP pretty much stopped for me. People are just not active enough and are hard to catch.
And than, an initiative started to unite what's left of English/international, German and French communities! Things do seem to be picking up now, with at least two events being planned, but there still is a problem with an in-game English-speaking organization - it could use some active gamers.

Here's a write-up of the event that took place last Thursday: http://weltennet.de/forum/showpost.php? … stcount=17. It's in German, and by the screenshots it seems to have gone not quite as planned (Read: chaotic).

Of course she is! After all, we're a pan-European (Or even worldwide) community, we are definitely racists!

http://isketch.org/ - a rather fun little game for those of you who like drawing. Having skills at it is not necessary.

Didn't I see a brazier like that on a cover of one of R. Asprin's books, Myth series?

Yes, fat outline is now (Thank you, Seed!) among the things that make me drool unconttrollably.

Well, the style was so distinct, I thought it'd be based off of a bunch of comics. If it really is self-crafted, I'll worship you guys even more.

Also, there's a relatevely new webcomic called Jump Leads (Links to the first comic, which is a cover) that vaguely reminds me of ol' good Seed. Any connection here?

Well, I'm no expert, but it looks like a striped bar to me.
