Elite roleplay: Q&A and OOC

Maybe he was just unlucky enough to be caught in the predicament alone, after agreeing to see the angry pirate lord headed off with only Vodan.

The eccentric inventor Harald Harksing has been causing quite a stir on Angel Station in the Calhuacan system.

The only reason that system name sticks out in my mind because I vaguely have it as Willow’s system of birth in mind.

If someone would like to correct my memory in case of that being wrong…

A Road to Riches auto-plot took me there. Only reason I remember is the Eath-Like in that system has a name that stays with you. I book marked it.

Thats the same way I found Irrational Exuberance. The game maybe on its last legs, but there are still some great names to be found out there.

Irrational Exuberance rings a bell, but I’m not sure if I have it from Elite. Sounds like it could as well be a reference to something.

(Or maybe I did find it in Elite but it could also be a name for one of the Monitors from Halo. You know, those funny flying orb-esque Forerunner machines with a fully developed AI. Or personality essence of a human whose memories were locked off from them… yeah.)

Irrational Exuberance is used in investment to explain unusual interest in stock.
Something like that.

Honestly, I could have it from there due to the economics courses I had to suffer through in high school and a (not quite so successful) college run… but I’d lie if I said I could remember.

There was definitely a Forerunner Monitor in Halo that went by the name of ‘something Exuberance’, though. Unfortunately, it was a part of Halo 5 and one of the very few positives of that game’s terrificly horrid story, so it’s not an accurate memory as I have tried to banish most of those to dark depths of my mind. Different ones to where the insanity of Exposure originated, mind you.

Ah, anyway. Holiday musings are seemingly the flavor of the week now so I’ll be going and having a shot at that… some time later today, or perhaps tomorrow. Tomorrow is more likely. I didn’t partake in it last time due to more urgent matters Thargoid, but the Titans were so nice to behave properly to let us run our human festivities for the end of this year, instead of overrunning us with caustic goo.

(Though I have a feeling Kira might have less issues of downing whatever the Thargoids might have of ‘interesting substances’ than… well, any other human currently in existence/known to exist, probably.)

"Irrational exuberance" was a turn of phrase coined by the Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan, describing stock prices during the 1990s dot-com bubble.

Fed chairmen generally tried to avoid pronouncements which would influence stock prices, but that one was a bit of a sign that he considered the market to be over-valued, and there was a lot of media airplay and discussion of it at the time (yes, I am old).

I probably got my info from a TV show. Nice to know the facts.

Hmm, I forgot that thinga. Now for Kasumi and Meowers: I ve found some time for reading Exposure series since it is side story or what. It is kinda differrent but quite funny. Goodjob you two, I am now hopping on part 10
15 Dec 2023, 9:46pm
Thank you :3
Yeah, we've, kind of, messed up some timelines, writing/RP-ing that thing took time, and time spent with a wacky grin cracking your face isn't time wasted, lol, then Kasumi's story took a few more steps forward too, etc. Then, posting 20+ logs once in a few days to give people time to read is a heckload of time, more than a month, so consider it all happening 'a bit in the past'. Can't remember the exact dates but they will be mentioned soon.

So I read part 12-pool adventure and I almost choked from laughing all-time. That flying man must did even bigger splash than you first time;) It is hell perfect written!

I actually gave part 15 some rough timeframe of occurring in early-mid November, in part 1/5. Where I believed it would make the most sense. The next entry into Kira's own story will also contain a little extra information in regards to timeline, if without any specific dates. Not that I came up with any at least.

Could I have waited to post it until after posting Exposure concluded? Yes, but I didn't want to be stuck having to wait an entire month or longer like I was with Whispers during that final part handled in the RP sections. And since our characters being silly and screwing around a lot was in a virtual space, it was more 'logical' than posting logs of her physically being in one place while there is some RP going on where she is in another.

And as Kira is not capable of splitting into two entities of herself that will recombine later to share their memories(nor would she want to), and is a multi-universal/dimensional traveller... well, you get the idea.

I do not think that anything short of the asteroid which wiped the dinosaurs out could rival the tidal splash generated by a 2.5 meter Meowers.
