they don't get new toys, and the core. but they don't get the crap kicked out of them again. Do they still have to two droppers?

Davis summed it up perfectly. :thumbsup:

Interesting new story

ThePW · « **Reply #98 on:** 15 September 2018, 21:45:19 »

It really does help to know what is going on elsewhere in Mayberry...

Nice but early on Davis McCall is described as having a scouse accent, that is Liverpool-area rather than Scottish

Nice to see this get updated even if it is with a vignette about the GDL and their potential future due to the "butterflies."

You realize that was a tip to Scotty saying the same thing in TOS

Just read all the way to the end of this story, amazing work.

Now the fun question will be if he has a quiet time at school (especially when discussing his background), or if it will be glossed over via montage?

You know someone at the school will be figuring out that John Smith is a fake name, so is he a noble child who is trying to hide history, a noble's bastard son who got a trust fund and a little pull to attend, or a commoner whose family has enough money to hide his background and use the obviously fake name? The smarter ones might figure that trying to find the history of someone with an obviously fake name would be bad for their health.

I've been following him on Spacebattles.com, and it seems we could see a new chapter this week or next, mostly glossing over his time at Sakahara. Something about having enough characters introduced already.

Red Pins · « **Reply #106 on:** 21 October 2018, 09:53:18 »

The new chapter is up on SB!

Just found it again. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/this-was-easier-on-the-tabletop-a-battletech-si.659596/page-225#post-51608389 I'd prefer it if Chris did it, mind you, so this is the last time I steal his thunder.

wolfcannon · « **Reply #110 on:** 21 October 2018, 13:16:48 »

i am having a hard time reading the story there.

Red Pins · « **Reply #111 on:** 21 October 2018, 13:27:12 »

Use the Threadmarks; go to the first page of the thread with the page numbers at the top or bottom of the page, click the 1rst page (because he started the thread, and the first post will have the list of pages), then click either the arrows for the next/last chapter or the box for the list of chapters. The newest is Chapter 11, at the bottom.

ThePW · « **Reply #112 on:** 21 October 2018, 22:51:11 »

o.O 259 PAGES? HOLY F...udge nuggets. OK I read the segment (very impressive) but why has he not posted that story portion here? Oh wait, all that profanity he has to edit...

Cyclone · « **Reply #113 on:** 21 October 2018, 23:13:23 »

For those wondering why the most recent update has not been posted here, Chris explains it here.

Yeah, I left a post saying I posted a link. Hope he didn't loose all his research like I did once.

If he rebuilt his computer, he probably saved his data, but not the cookies, so when he reinstalled windows the cookies were gone and with them the password.

Red Pins · « **Reply #117 on:** 23 October 2018, 19:07:39 »

...Doesn't everybody keep the little site book with U/PWs? I know I do.

PsihoKekec · « **Reply #118 on:** 24 October 2018, 00:11:25 »

Most people don't.

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #119 on:** 24 October 2018, 02:05:11 »

I use specialized number and letter sequences from my favorite tv show. Each has an associated noun which makes remembering them easy and I can look them up if I forget. If I do have to write iit down I use the noun so even then if someone else finds the list they still don't have the password.
