Good Cause Simulator: sensitIV/avante en garde (sunday)

[idolpro]

[ You’re in a sleek room full of all kinds of sci-fi dials and knobs. You feel like you’ve been here a long time with these people around you, and that you have a lot longer to go before this is all over.

You can hear the distant sounds of the station creaking due to shockwaves from the fighting outside. What is going on in this galaxy? Well, it’s not very important to you. What’s important is surviving.

You have a job to do. ]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

As a result of your lack of maintenance, your station has ended up in a state of disrepair. It should be no surprise that when gravity season begins, the stress to the paneling causes the station to slowly start to come apart.

This could be a deadly disaster if left alone...but what can you do about it?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working in the mines, someone asks you to pass you a thermal detonator. Do you hand them the one with the SHORT TIMER or the LONG TIMER?

Is it common for units to join forces during games?

[ He's a little relieved by this combination, honestly. Also. He's brought in a bunch of snacks to stress eat. Who wants some? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

The station is really falling apart... We need to figure out something more lucrative than mining, fast.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mathphysicsandzzz]

This is a precarious situation, isn't it...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Man, being a space miner sucks. What else can we do with this gear that isn't just blasting rocks?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

What do we have for equipment? Space picks, space minecarts, spice drills... can we do something else with those?

Re: DISCUSSION

[calmthefoxdown]

Not common, but it has happened before.

Re: DISCUSSION

[deicider]

We could take apart the laser, use it to cut up the station and make ourselves a bit more mobile... or invent something...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

Doesn't happen super often, but it looks like everyone else's paired up too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

If it is a laser, we can maybe just fasten it into a weapon?

I am not suggesting we attack anyone, but perhaps we could offer or services as guards, or something related to our unit.

[ That maybe doesn't fit the sensitIV image... but it's a noble image, right? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

I wonder what their decisions or doing so is.

[ Unique combinations perhaps? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[heavyliesthecrown]

That may make playing the game difficult, from what I have heard regarding past games.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

What are lasers usually made of? Could cobble together something and advertise it as the new hot thing.

Can we make laser swords?

Re: DISCUSSION

[calmthefoxdown]

I haven't noticed any particular reason for it myself, but I also haven't really tried looking for a reason. I more or less expected it to be the whims of the producers at this point.

Re: DISCUSSION

[mathphysicsandzzz]

Laser swords sound very impractical.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

I do like the idea of weapons... I mean, I don't think anyone here is up for going on the offensive, but shit's gonna happen and we're gonna want to protect ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[gigadevilbreaker]

What? Why?!
