Yep! I do have a year but it didn't seem that important tbh.Nottravis So, about that year in which the game takes place...surely you wouldn't leave that unanswered, would you?

I don't. All I do is ask about the in-game year and all I get is mockery.

The number is not important, but could it be...?

Enjoy the show!
PS As if we would ever make fun of you? Although I do remember that time when I asked for a pause and you like, totes made a post to make fun of my request for a pause, so there is that to think about!

Well, I don't know... how am I to make decisions if I don't even know what the year is... If that got out, all hard earned respect would go poof.

This is a good example of why you don't put the year on sci fi.
So, I have a year jotted down somewhere. But it's not really important to the story.
My fear is once I date it then you can end up with random nit picking over scientific development, time and distance calculations and all sorts of non relevant things.
So much better for me to not give a date.

I loved that show when I was a kid (70's, original airing), but the shapeshifter gave me nightmares...even if I thought she was super-hot, as hot as a 7 year old can find a shapeshifting woman. Oh, okay, I just realized I started out pretty fucked up, so no wonder I'm here today.

But there is already 2150 year, by which the I-class ships were built and launched. What's the harm in clarifying the current year? I don't get this at all.

They could have been in service for decades or centuries though, let's just say the year is after 2150
Well, this is sensible enough.
But we know the truth.

Not good enough. It's immersion breaking not to know such basic information...They could have been in service for decades or centuries though, let's just say the year is after 2150

Because then I would have to have enough astro physics to work out how long it would get to the system with Ophion, know the exact propulsion speed of the ships, establish how long each colony was set up including how long that would take etc.....
All for a year date.
It's totally not worth it from a time perspective. It adds nothing but risks plot holes. So no. No year.

This is ridiculous. If you say the year is say, 2155, nobody is going to ask questions about any of these... And even if they did you can just avoid answering just like you do with this question.

Any key? Where's the any key?!?!Tidying up the first three chaoters a bit as well for this one. Few loose ends, minor typos etc and shifting all the credits to the end of the chapter as opposed to credit, hit a key sorta a thing.
Dropping a series of "intermission" cards in their place.

My thought process (and I assume others were similar) was this, even knowing it was his sister as the player, I figured all I needed to do was get a hug from her (or kiss on the cheek) and keep Chris from doing the same (protect my sister from a sexual predator
)... And with some of what I have seen, that might not be too hard, on the other hand, I have seen animosity like that turn into sexual tension... hard to say.I tried it, but my disabled and dyslexic ass was unable to manage the combat...
I spent 8 months on Origins, just exploring various places, with different characters, poking my nose into every nook and cranny before I even thought about taking someone through the end game... lolTrue. But I'm Not Thea Lundgren! is going to need a few weeks to play all 3 series.
I hear that is what is required to win over masses and win polls, but what do I know?
Won't the real slim Becca please stand up, please stand up...
Kelly: Why the hell did my stupid brother have to go and get our family name legally changed like this? Did he think I wanted to go around with this moniker? Now I have to go find someoneHow is Kelly Massiveshlong the Third doing by the way, not incredibly angry at her big bro? Wonder why she is so angry.
666AF (After FTL drives were invented).
My mom calls her Rosie, it's very inefficient. it has bristles to sweep things into the main vacuum part, so I call it a 'broomba'.
That would make a lot of things easier, trying to remove a background can be quite challenging, even before I lost partial use of my right arm.
Usually that is me, though I am having a hard time in this one... lol
Well, no one had posted anything when I did mine, and I didn't want it to go without an entry. I am just glad to have gotten the ball rolling. XDHeh. It seems I'm more of an outsider in this race. Got nowhere near the reception you and frap did. So you may have a clear road to the finish line!
MY hands?!?!!? Shit! I drop things all the time! We're fucked everyone, it's official!
Damn it, give DA22 a break!
My mommy told me that you should not play with your lever, it will make the Ophions cry!!!
More seriously, I totally get you. I've been looking for how long it would take a few boats in the 11th century to go from Greenland to Canada. By chance, there is historical data about this. But when you try to make up a new world, you start thinking about how everything is related to everything, how are the new clothes made, where you find fuel and other energy resources, what kind of currency is used, how the banks work, what are the politics in place, etc. A simple detail might call for a lot of explanations, and sometimes, it might be best to leave out details that have no direct incidence on the story.
I actually disagree. You know if the year is mentioned, we're going to play around it, start asking questions, try to tweak it to feed our theories, etc.

Really? And yet I have people desperate to know what year it is, no?
So why wouldn't others ponder speed/distance etc.
No. I stick by my position. It's not needed and just opens up both a can of worms and would take time to work out (and even then I could get wrong). Time which is time better spent on script and coding.
I'm not moving on this as it would be a nugatory exercise to do properly, and I'm not going to just pull a year out of my arse.
