Have you sent it out, Jamont? I haven't heard back from anyone.

OK, I've sent the package to Jamont to send out to everyone interested, so as soon as you show an interest and send him your adress, you'll get it. Later,

Anyone else in?

Neither has mine. I'll put together a little package over the next few days (if I can find time) and send it out. Not sure I've got your adress Urza, but if Jamont sets up the mailing list, then I don't have to worry about that. Later all,

It's probably not ideal, since I can't really meet online for chat (we don't have a permanent connection, but we're looking into it) and it involved a lot of other people while it was running on the BCC forum. I have the thread saved (minus the last post by Ben Somerset, which he made after I was sans connection) so I could repost the whole thing in the roleplaying forum and hopefully people will join back in and play that out. (there's still a ridiculously long way to go there ) The mole hunt story will run in parallel (at the same time and in the same star system, but almost completely independant of the main story) I will have to lead in to it, and I have some sort of skeleton plot points (but not really enough) I've been keeping a tight control on the posting in this whole story to keep the quality high (and make my eventual editing job easier) so that somewhat restricts standard roleplaying (since it's a detective story it has to fit together extra well), so here's what I think we could do with it: We set up a mailing list (or use the ISS one) for planning this story. I'll send those of you who are interested what I have so far, and you can all make comments, suggestions ideas for plot lines, I'll hand out planning tasks etc. and discuss the pros and cons of different people's suggestions until we can come up with a good fairly detailed plot which we can then "perform" in the roleplaying forum. I'll have to put together all the stuff I've done into some sort of understandable package, which might take a little while since my parents are coming to visit for a week tomorrow evening, so I won't have so much time to myself. But, anyway, it could be fun, if anyone is up for it. Who's in?

As far as I remember and can tell, you're not doing that much wrong, to get the fleet more active we need some sort of good story we can all join as a fleet. I was working on that before my abscence, but it was still a little way before the mole hunt (ISS involvement) stage. If anyone else has any good ideas for a story, I'll be happy to join in, work together on planning it etc.

I have no problem getting webspace (I can get as many 20MB domains on webpark.cz as I can think up original names for, the only condition being I update them at least every three months. It's free with no popups, just a tiny non-animated bar at the top of the index page. I'm not sure how fast it is to access from other countries, but it seems to work fine.) I'll get my old site up again when I get organised and some pics of my little Jakub for you all to enjoy. Btw, we're expecting another in August I was hoping to get going with Ambitions again, but if the BCC forum is gone, that is going to be awkward.

I can't access the ISS Fleet site or the BCC forums. Is it a problem my end or have I missed something?

I'm back! I've finally got a phone line after 7 months of waiting!! I've just downloaded the RC33 patch. I'll try to catch up with what's going on Do you still want a profile from me or have you got my old one(that was part of my old site, which also had profiles for all my oficers)? Could someone please let me know what I've missed in the last few months? I can't get the BCC Forums. Has that moved/folded?

Still alive, still trying to organise a web connection

Take a shifty here

I've got something brewing- watch this space. Maybe it'll work out and I can give you all something to enjoy, maybe not. We'll see.

well done, lad!

Chavik, I sent you and Gallion an email,using [email protected] about a week ago. I got a reply from Gallion, but nothing from you. Did you get it? I don't even know if it is the right address (I got it from your profile on the commanders forum) If it isn't, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send it again. Cheers,

/ here sir!

I thought it was 'Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?' [ 06-01-2002, 12:33: Message edited by: Ben Zwycky ]

Sorry to hear that, mike.

here too! (not sure I'll have enough time to be recruitment officer, you know the reasons from another thread ) Am working on something, though.

Ah, Nick, Congrats- a great adventure awaits you I’d say you’re likely to have quite a bit less time than before for computer games. It all depends on how much your girl is into them, but it comes down to priorities. Basically she needs to know that she is the number one earthly priority in your life (which is what she should be if you want to marry her) more than your job, more than your other friends, more than *dare I say it* your computer and BCM/G/TC/O. I guess it’s something you’ll need to talk about beforehand, among many other things. Talk about all your expectations of married life- what you expect to change and what you expect to stay the same in your relationship and lifestyle. It’s best to get as many nasty surprises out of the way beforehand as possible . I’m getting off-topic here (just have recent experience of preparing for marriage and I want to give you all the tips I can), so if you want to hear some more on this, give me an email or something. PS: The guy who wrote this has a very happy wife! (signed: wife) Cheers,

I can't get to the help page (it's down) which tells me how to add a visitor's book and counter, but I've added some more links, photos and a quiz. Eva wants me to do the Czech version *bites nails* but says she'll help me (it'll be good for me) so that isn't done yet. Enjoy !

will do! Edit: done! [ 05-26-2002, 06:42: Message edited by: Ben Zwycky ]

Hey, Blades, did you get my email from a while back? (about the beginning of April, about permission for a story) I sent it to [email protected]. I never got a reply. What email address should I use? I think we need a good multiplayer roleplay going to get people interested again. I think this forum is more high-profile than the other, but wherever we do it, it needs to be done well. It's the end of term in a month, so after then I'll have more time

Sorry, been away for a week. Yes, the wedding newspaper went down very well at the wedding. We had a lot of fun making it, too. I've used it for reading comprehension in some of my lessons (to add a bit of fun). Went down really well there, too. I've just started using some of my stories from this forum. (will probably be a bit too hard for some of them) We'll see how well they do. We're going to be adding a czech version soon, and I'll be adding some more photos and links over the next couple of days or so. I'll let you know here when it's up.

Enjoy it while it lasts (though you're never really too old to do crazy stuff ) Have a good one!

Just come back from seeing it, I sat down in the cinema, then started to worry when the opening titles were all in Czech, then I got the disappointment of my life when I heard the first dialogue. It was all dubbed into Czech! Luckily I've been here long enough to be able to get most of the dialogue, but a few times I had to turn to my good lady and ask what they just said. Dubbing is done pretty well over here, so the disappointment didn't last too long and it covered up any poor quality dialogue for me. I enjoyed it, I liked the story, I thought it flowed pretty well, and from a mainly visual point of view, the acting seemed OK to me. On the whole, I enjoyed it, and that's the main thing.
