Official OOC Thread

Obviously, this is for out of character discussions. As long as it doesn’t get out of hand, I won’t put any rules on it.

First item for the OOC Chat. What is everyone’s general availability? By that, I am simply asking for what time/days do you generally check the message boards and or reply. I am not looking to nail folks down, just trying to narrow the best window for game posts. Also, if you wouldn’t mind letting me know what time zone you are all in, it would also help.

If you would rather not post this stuff here, please feel free to PM me with the information. Thanks.

AM and PM

PM Zulu -9

Edit: zulu -8

I hate Daylight savings time

Evenings MST, at least during the week. Weekends, depends upon the weekend but using online sometime each day.

Usually evenings - GMT +1 (summer time).

Pacific

Also evenings MDT (GMT-6) (I'm in Colorado Springs, CO) weekdays and any time on weekends.

I’m East Coast US, and available evenings, or any time weekends.

Central Daylight Time (GMT-5) near KCMO

Happy Tank-Easter!!!!

Apparently imgur hates me, none of the links to images in this thread or the Character Development thread resolve :P

Hmmm actually they display on my phone, just not on my mac??

Tell your Mac a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call…

So weird. Eventually i'll figure out what setting is blocking them. A few icons come through on the site but most shared images don't

One of the issues on other computers is the browsers and cache

the other is internet websites that are allowed

Most of this challenges are on the reddit forum as my initial searches. I don't know if this works for the Mac ecosystem.


Edit:
I just found this thread that says the images on imgur need to be public:
Anyone who has the URL can view/download the image, but the links are not made public by Imgur. If you post the image in a public thread anyone can find it from there, of course, and anyone who can see it (in a private game) can send the link to anyone else. That is just the nature of the beast.

If you don't trust Imgur, you can host the image anywhere you like (and use the URL option), but the same caveats apply: in order for your players to be able to see it, anyone with the link can see it, so it is only as protected as you keep the link.

If you have to keep things (more) private, you could create named shares on dropbox or google drive, or one drive, or any cloud system, but, for them to only be visible to your players, each player would each need an account for you share it with.

Maybe shift the images to dropbox or Google drive?

Imgr is weird with PNG file endings some times. Particularly from my iDevice of choice. However, if I savr to device, then edit the image then resave it works fine. Just tweak the brightness and then save.

I’ll be a little slow to post this week, as it’s Holy Week for the Orthodox Church (Easter round 2!)

No problem. We won’t be doing too much right now. Currently, I’m working with individuals to get their characters to the starting line. I’ll be finishing up with those and posting some of that activity. Beyond that, I’ll be getting things set up for our official game start the day after Tax Day.

SFC Caleb Wolfe should be GySGT as Gunnery Sergeant is the Equivalent rank to Sergeant First Class in the Marine Corps. E-7.

Just doing my part for accuracy.
