It is not the GM's fault that players act up, except in rare circumstances that don't apply here, as far as I can tell.

It's fine.[/information]

:p

That said, I have no actual complaint. This can't be restated enough times. AoS has repeatedly proven to be one of the best-run quests I've ever seen. Player density just causes anomalies above a certain level.

It's not so much more posters as some poster posting much more.

Could you just copy paste what he voted for? Plan votes are just a pain unless we commit to only doing plan votes.

Username votes are often ok (spelling sensitive and they need to have voted earlier in the thread I think), it's named plans that are a headache in votes that are by individual options.
 
@Hangwind @Slamu You both have []Playername votes.

I would also ask that you both PLEASE consider voting for Training Jinah x2, since our window on that is closing, AN said that it impacts how good a teacher she'll be and will be a great deal less effective for giving her traits once she turns 20 (Which should occur sometime during next turn. Preferably after we've given her 2 training actions this turn and 2 next turn).

So... yeah. We need to get her into tip top shape, because she's going to be the only instructor at our academy, and training her right now gives a lot more benefits than just improved trait gain.

@Nianque I hope that you consider switching to Jinah x2 as well, given that you said you could yet be convinced (Also since you were one of the players who was voted on by name :o)

EDIT: According to Nix []Playername votes are okay after all. My mistake. But I still strongly recommend switching to Double Training Jinah for the aforementioned reasons (Lookin' at you Slamu. You voted FunkyEntropy to begin with and he's since switched to Jinah x2 too :p)

The question is, do we need Clairvoyance to aim such an anti-orbit Weapon? We can use Fortune and Precog with a sniper rifle, after all, and I imagine that such a weapon is aimed using a scope.

Plus, I'm not sure we'll even be able to safely manifest more than 1-2 standard powers by the time Anna needs our shooting skills.

We'll probably have fixed channeling by then.
 
Hangwind is being tallied fine but Slamu isn't for some reason. I have no good explanation for why.
 
Hmmm... well, if Jinah is seen as Mirande's proxy/start of a teaching inheritance... well, that changes my view a touch.

To be honest, I'd be happy if our developed curriculum eliminates vices and adds virtues (mechanically, in the seven-seven, but fluff-wise shoring up forms of self-control and self-knowledge and removing personality flaws and self-ignorance).

Understand yourself.
Understand others.
Understand the world around you.
Understand how it all fits together.

Or something like that. Hmmm....

Orbital pinball. Just need to aim the debris from the shot to swing around and hit them a few more times.
 
Anna would like to be able to fire a couple of rounds months in advance so that the next time a Mantis raid starts to break away from the asteroid belt and head in system it just disintegrates because a bunch of ferrous slugs that had long since reached thermal equilibrium with their environment slam into the ships at several dozen kilometres per second.

@Academia Nut what exactly does Scientific Automation I do mechanically? And why the heck hasn't Anna prioritized the hell out of it yet?

Also: Reactor Optimization. Won't we need it to make the orbital railgun space-efficient?

Scientific Automation reduces the number of scientists you need for research.

As for why neither have been researched, she has been distracted by other things. Yeah, let's go with that...

Is future telling enough for that or does it require advanced/greater future telling?
