I get the feeling we're going to ascribe meaning to these new symbols. They'll become our own esolang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAL 9000 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Been reading this thread for a long time, first time posting on it, but it's an amazing story! Loving Emiko's time on Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone, things here at home are really screwed up, and it's impossible to get much of anything done. So I'm not going to be able to do anything new until next week. Sorry, but there's just nothing I can do about it. But between now and then, I have a question for y'all. For the next few chapters I have two options. I can switch between the present KASA and Emiko's backstory, which could get a little confusing, but have the possibility for longer and better cliffhangers. Or just focus on Emiko's backstory and get it over with, then go back to the present? This might be easier and less confusing. I have no problem doing it either way, but honestly, I'm having a hard time deciding, so I'm open to opinions.

GDJ Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I would finish Emiko's backstory just for completeness sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAL 9000 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Depends, how long is the backstory? 2-3 chapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DualDesertEagle Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Wait a sec, has that link to the index been at the end of every chapter all the time or have u just started putting that in there, @Just Jim?

I've got a fun little adventure in store for Emiko and Chibi, and a way to make it fit into the over all Saga quite nicely, so I'm thinking at least 5-6 fairly long ones. 49 minutes ago, DualDesertEagle said: Wait a sec, has that link to the index been at the end of every chapter all the time or have u just started putting that in there, @Just Jim? Btw, greetings from the Certified Marina in Connelly, NY! The "Return to Index" links are fairly recent. I added them a few chapters back to make navigating around a little easier. And if my feeble memory serves, weren't you in Germany? If so, then welcome to the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The solid fuel chemist Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) @Just JimI vote for finishing Emikos backstory just to get it out of the way. And also, did the thing on dres ever get explained or am I missing something? Spoiler I feel like starting my own story, but I'm not a very "impressive" KSP player, and all that time... ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG! (Maybe something with my mechs?) Edited September 30, 2016 by The solid fuel chemist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might just finish the backstory. It would be easier, and also kill some time until version 1.2 is officially released. As for Dres, no, I haven't gotten into detail yet. The last we knew, Thompberry seemed really worried about the sudden appearance of the Dres-deroids, but didn't really have a chance to explain why yet. But if you put all the clues I've dropped together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz light fear Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I say finish emikos backstory then to kasa which is a cool acronym. Doues it stand for Kerbal Astronautics and Space Asocciation to make it different from NASA acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone, the madness of the last several weeks is finally over!!! I can't really talk about it on here, it's not appropriate. But the problem is gone, and life is slowly returning to normal. Enough of that... October is already upon us, and Halloween will soon be here... and I am a huge fan! So lets have some fun. To celebrate, the next couple chapters of Emiko's backstory will include the following: A Mad Scientist A Witch A teenage Werewolf Possibly a Vampire... And because y'all seem to love them so much... Zombies! Lots of Zombies.... And the best part, it all fits into the plot! Finally, as an added special bonus, I would like to introduce you all to the next player in the Emiko Saga: Maria Spoiler Edited October 3, 2016 by Just Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well, today was great, and I got a lot of screenshots for the next chapter done. Hopefully I'll get the rest finished tomorrow, depending on the weather... again. Hurricane Matthew is supposed to hit the other side of the state in the next couple days, and my brother and his family are evac-ing over here tomorrow. We're not supposed to get hit here directly, but we'll still most likely get feeder bands, so the next few days could get iffy, but shouldn't be too bad. And because today went so well, and I'm in a really good mood... lol... here's another teaser screenshot: Spoiler On 10/3/2016 at 10:41 AM, Mad Rocket Scientist said: I didn't do it!

problemecium Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I DID IT! I finally caught up on all 67 chapters of this thing. Whew. Since you've indicated that you're concerned about spelling, allow me to take the liberty of pointing out some of the mistakes you've been letting slide most often: - "It's" is a contraction of "it is;" for "something that belongs to it" you're supposed to use "its." Yes, it seems backwards, but that's how our crazy language works xP - A hanger is something that hangs things. Where planes are stored is a hangar. Think about the "ar" at the end being like the "ar" in "airplane" ...actually never mind, that mnemonic's dumb. - Breath is the thing you exhale when you breathe. I recall there being a few more but I forgot what they were. I'll mention it if I start seeing another one pop up frequently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
