HypersomniacLive: Someone tampered with the security algorithms. Based on post #2, I assume that this action would require high INT.
So, who's the smartest in the room?

Does bombing require a specific STAT to be high?

I echo Crewdroog's question in post #18, and wonder if there's something to certain players being mentioned in the OP.

Also, I wonder why some among us automatically assume that our missing fellow crew members are dead (posts #34, 45, 48, 92) - why do you assume they're dead? I may be reading it wrong, but the wording in the OP seems to only state with certainty that we don't know the whereabouts of a number of them. Or does that "we've lost" imply they're dead? Am I the only one reading it this way?

@mod

"Och, tae hell wi' it!"

Is this Scottish? Can we have a translation, please? And could we stick to English? That's enough of a challenge for some of us.

HypersomniacLive: Is this an RVS vote or serious? Based on the time you've made it, I'd say it's RVS, but then you mentioned the reason, and we all know how that bothers you.

HypersomniacLive: I wonder why you brought up post restrictions.

HypersomniacLive: That's a pretty firm statement. May I ask why you seem so certain?

HypersomniacLive: Hmm... tampered security algorithms, high INT (my assumption), yogsloth fears he may be truly stupid...

HypersomniacLive: May I ask why you assume that they all wore red shirts?

More coming in a bit.

drealmer7: Like I said, I'm new here to this station and I may not be clear on certain policies or protocals. Advice is appreciated, certainly. but I almost take what you say as a threat! If no one knows each other, any of us could be intruders anyway, and so, my words are ultimately meaningless unless anyway. I will remain silent for now because I have nothing more to contribute anyway until we get here what the rest of these people have to say, if anything.

drealmer7: [...]
Obviously I lack sleep. It's these new hours, I tell you! Please forgive me if I am out of line, I don't mean to exude any authority beyond that which I have, which I'm not even sure what that is at this point, being newly assigned and all, I'm pretty sure it's just a meaningless title meant to make me feel like I'm important than like most of the rest of you meat-heads here. Wait, I don't mean that!

agentcarr16: ...then HSL will meet you in the scum thread tonight.

CarrionCrow: [...] D. The intruders stealing explosives. [...]

dedoporno: What is that supposed to mean?

HypersomniacLive: And HijacK's MIA - @trentonlf, you think it warrants a prod-vote?

yogsloth: btw2: My name isn't Johnny Trollcrap. That was a joke that nobody got.

QuadrAlien: Ixamyakxim curses, loudly. "Then why are we gathered here?" he continues? "Yes, shouldn't we be in the security department, arming ourselves against yoglsoth?" continues trentonlf.

trentonlf: He's posted now, even if a trivial one, but it was almost to the point of a prod vote for sure.

JMich: Interesting.

mchack: quick tip from an ex newb:

dedoporno: He probably has more important stuff to handle right now.

yogsloth: Subtlety somehow doesn't come naturally to me - go figure. I'm not even sure what I was trying to accomplish.

yogsloth: btw, I really didn't know that "fin" meant "finesse".

yogsloth: btw2: My name isn't Johnny Trollcrap. That was a joke that nobody got.

HypersomniacLive: drealmer7 is doing some serious role-playing, not sure what to make of it yet, but it's certainly something different

HypersomniacLive: Krypsyn isn't posting any youtube links - could this mean that he's town this game?

Krypsyn: No.

Krypsyn: Given the other three stats, I would say yes.

yogsloth: [...]

Next question: Who exactly are our "intruders"? What's their motivation? What do they look like?

trentonlf: Because FIN was from our PMs, discussing PM information is something I find to be scummy as it's not necessary. So it was a serious vote when I placed it. The mod has since elaborated and it's not as big a deal, but at the time it was an unknown factor and it might have been something that not everyone had in their PMs and then we are playing the "I don't get it" game again.

trentonlf: He's posted now, even if a trivial one, but it was almost to the point of a prod vote for sure.

HijacK: ........... The game just started and there are 6 pages to read......

I have homework so just pretend I haven't checked in yet. I shall see you after classes.

Ixamyakxim: I love it! I did it once in a game here (or at least tried to - it was fun!).

Ixamyakxim: [...]

And the "red shirt" bit was a reference to the fact that the lowly nonamed guys on Star Trek would go on one away team mission and promptly get killed (not really, but that was the idea of it). They wore Red Shirts so it kind of became a "thing" - a Red Shirt was sort of a sci fi / space station peon who had the early and often task of eating laser bolts, being sucked out an airlock, facing the big bad monster etc etc etc.

Lot of good stuff going on here!
