I think we'd all understand the difference between an actual slur from you, and from speaking in character. However, just try and keep it from being TOO gratuitous.

Thing is, there really isn't any racism in the fluff (the novels anyways). There's tribalism, classism etc but the classic racism seems to be lacking. I certainly haven't read anyone calling a black guy "darky" or anything along those lines.

There are so many different people on so many different worlds. Its kind of hard to be a racist if you can't even tell what your own race is. Or where it comes from.

Ah good point.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

If we don't hear from the others aboard ship, we could just count them as sleeping and move forward. That is if we don't hear from them by sometime tonight.

I had to reinstall Windows again, but I'll work something up soon; I'm liking the setting, and Pahr should be an... interesting character to write.

Give them a day or two, some are in different timezones and may have things to do. I was part of something like this before and it moved way to fast to keep up, people have lives and it would be great if people didn't get left out. Now if it's been a few days and they haven't posted in the thread but are posting elsewhere than we should move on.

Yeah, there are always PC issues; Rochey's got the wargame to run; Reliant has some firends with some issues. I'll give it just a bit of time. (I also need some time to write up something for this and for Daystrom.)

Oh, this is a good universe to let your darker thoughts run wild in. Hell, I'm wearing the flak jacket of a guy I skinned. Probably while he was still alive. :lol:
