Hello, all of you lovely space cadets!

This is just a reminder that it's AC time. Since it's the game's first AC and it's a pretty small game, we'll be pretty lenient if you don't quite make AC this time. Remember that if you're on hiatus for 2+ weeks or during the AC period, you're exempt from AC this time (but won't be next time).

As an aside, there's some big IRL things going on modwise, so updates for the IID event and jobs/promotions may be a few hours or a couple days late, but we'll do our best to keep things running smoothly! Oh, and one more thing. Because jobs and promotions are posted on the Guide, we'll be posting them to [community profile] thepanicguide from now on. The same goes for the IID event, so be on the lookout!

Thanks for sticking with us so far!

Hello, hi!

This is Kitty and I'll be bringing in another nation (just look at the post below this one), and he is Italy. He has the same situation going on, more or less anyway. Except he's from 2014 + some change in game experience.

And just like with Germany he might get like super excited if he sees someone he recognizes, but has also been through the song and dance of "this is not the droid you're looking for". But just in case anyone would like to avoid any awkward encounters feel free to tell me so and we can work that out! I have an opt-out post for situations like this or anything else outlined in that disclaimer. And for quick reference here are permissions.

tbf I'm pretty easy going so I don't really have a lot in the way of do's and don'ts right atm.

Other than all the technical stuff I'm really excited to be here and hope to have fun with anyone! If there are any questions or concerns you want to talk about I'm always available through dw pm and also pp via [plurk.com profile] itachuu--and if you want to add me that's cool too!

Hello, I'm Sonia and I'm bringing in Germany from Hetalia! If you're not familiar with him, he's a personified nation and he's super serious business on top of being super freaked out right now. He's a port over from another game, so he'll have memories from 1990 and then the addition of what he's been through over the last two years.

That being said, if you look familiar to him he might say something and if you don't then he'll just have to get used to you. If you need them I have and extra permissions post and a disclaimer! Also, if you'd rather he didn't call you out on being someone that he might have known in the past, just let me know and I can make sure to watch out for that!

Otherwise feel free to contact me with any questions either through a PM to this journal or over on plurk at [plurk.com profile] doitsun. If you'd like to add me on plurk, that's totally fine too. I look forward to playing with you guys and hopefully we'll have lots of fun, yes!

Hey there, everyone! Pretty much new here, so sup? I'm Rozen and I'm bringing in Ruby Rose from that one web show where it's anime Harry Potter + guns at least until SEASON 3.... AKA RWBY! Ruby here is a cheerful, spunky girl who aspires to be a hero and is pretty optimistic about nearly everything! She's also kind of reckless, naive and childish, so expect some dumb antics from her, u h.

If you wanna contact for plots and stuff, feel free to add me over at [plurk.com profile] jashinsexual ! It's nice to meet you all!!

Hello! I'm Haru, bringing a sadist to the ship. This guy is Sougo Okita from Gintama. Gintama is a series that does a lot of breaking the 4th wall, and Sougo is a piece of shit. For these reasons I will direct you to the permissions post for those who are not into 4th wall breaking and dealing with characters that make death threats and all that.

I think that's about it. Can't wait to play!

HELLO PANIC SHIP. My name is Fidgey and I'm bringing sextuplet number 3 from the series Osomatsu-san!
Karamatsu is the second oldest out of the six but undoubtedly the most embarrassing one. Prepare yourselves for painful one-liners and dramatic prose..! 
Karamatsu tries a bit too hard to be cool and also tries very hard to flirt only to have it really backfire on him. He's very self-absorbed and has an overall exhausting presence, but he actually is a pretty nice guy if you can tolerate him.

His hobbies include looking in a mirror and playing the guitar.
Like the rest of the Matsuno brothers, he's also an unemployed loser.. and a virgin.

THAT'S ABOUT IT! Looking forward to playing with you all!

Hello! I'm Sarie, and I'm playing Kagura! She's a nightmare child with ~a heart of gold~ sort of. She's from Gintama, which is a hideous comedy manga that is constantly breaking the fourth wall, so I have a separate permissions post where you can feel free to let me know if you don't want your character fourth walled! Otherwise, you could PM me, or let me know on plurk at [plurk.com profile] ghostbacon

But yeah, I'm excited about playing here! It's nice to meet you guys!

Hey everybody!! I'm Ves, and I'm bringing in with me Anders here.

He's from that weird fantasy dating sim Dragon Age 2, and for the unfamiliar, more or less an angry wizard (possessed by an even angrier spirit) who will never live down That Thing He Did. (But he's taken from well before going off the deep end, so no one has to worry too much.)

In any case, he'll probably be trying to keep the magic bit pretty quiet, at first, since being a mage doesn't generally go well for anyone in his canon, but he'll probably end up dispensing free heals for everybody at some point, anyway. ...And he is like 6ft+ and wearing mage robes and carrying a magic staff, so. (This counts as subtle in his world, honest.) He also might need some help with all this fancy technology business.

Anyway, I'll probably throw him into the fray sometime tonight! And feel free to add me on plurk @ [plurk.com profile] gravejuice, if that is your thing. PP and PM are fine, too.

Hello everyone! My name is LA, and I'm really excited to play in this game.

I bring you the ever clutzy Marinette from the series Miraculous Ladybug. She's a girl with a big ol' heart and is a bit of a spazz at times. So don't be afraid if you see her tripping around like a goof.

She's also a super heroine, but since she doesn't have one of the factories that changes her, she won't be Ladybugging about unless it's like in secret or something.

I'm really excited to get to play with so many interesting characters. Please add me on plurk if you'd like to.

My plurk is http://www.plurk.com/Bubblykins

Howdy folks. I'm Badge, and I'm bringing to this here game a guy who's decidedly NOT as hyperactive as the other guy that looks exactly like him. His name's Choromatsu, and he'll TELL you that he's the only brother with common sense. He's lying, though. Just put him next to a cute girl for five seconds, you'll figure it out.

Anyway, as a guy who actually WANTS a job, this situation isn't too bad for him. Or it wouldn't be if the jobs weren't all weird. But... job experience, right? Ha ha... ha.

Feel free to friend me at [plurk.com profile] dragomorph if you haven't already. Nice to meet y'all.

hey friends! My name is Junebug, and this nut i'm bringing to TPS is called Jyushimatsu. he's from that anime where the main characters all look the same. literally. they are sextuplets. the anime is wacky and stupid, and so are the characters. i highly recommend it!

Jyushi here is... pretty crazy. he acts very much like a child, but don't be fooled. he's in his twenties. 8I;;; if you don't want his crazy following you around, that's fine! i won't be offended. just let me know. otherwise I APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF HIM.

anyway! my plurk is at [plurk.com profile] lovebakery. it's an open plurk, where i do the fangirl and rp thing. i mostly post about Osomatsu-san, but it is the best way to get a hold of me. ^-^ i look forward to the insane journey we're about to have together!

S.S. Panic

Test Drive Meme


A quick rundown
Welcome to the S.S. Panic's Test Drive Meme! Here, you can post a top level post and/or respond to other characters in a variety of situations! As you will find if you glance at the map, the ship is a spider-shaped city that is essentially self-sustaining. It's powered by the Infinite Improbability Drive, which when in use allows for the improbable (and impossible!) to happen and become, well, possible!

Below, you will find an example of what a typical monthly job post will look like. To encourage tagging each other, characters who apply to the game after this test drive meme will earn 100 credits per tag they give to someone else. Considering that new refugees are only given a small amount of money to get them started (around 500 credits), this could be huge!

Normally, job posts (currently empty) will be posted on the last day of the month. Characters can begin working the jobs they sign up for on the 1st of the next month. These jobs will be posted early for the Test Drive Meme and can be considered the official jobs of the month.

For now, all jobs will be the lowest paying jobs at Level 5. As the months go on, Level 4, 3, 2 and 1 jobs will be added appropriately. All characters will begin at Level 5 except in very special, rare situations. Keep in mind that some jobs will remain a constant in job postings (Education, for example) while others will change monthly. Also, players may hire other characters themselves in the future through hiring page. Ordinarily, some jobs will have limited slots, but for the purposes of the Test Drive Meme, all jobs come equipped with unlimited slots.

Finally, if you choose to, you can make whatever happens during the Test Drive Meme game canon if you apply and you are accepted into the game. However, this is not required and if you don't want it to be canon but the players of your character's new CR do and vice versa, this is space with wormholes and the IID. Multiple instances of your character is possible, at least for this month.

If you have questions about how the game works, you can look at the gameplay page or post a question to the FAQ page. Remember, you don't have to post your character doing a job. You can have them arguing about the Babelfish, going shopping, having a fist fight with an alien, etc. The important thing is to have fun!

As is consistently mentioned throughout the game pages, The Panic Ship is heavily based on and influenced by [community profile] gargleblasted. You're on a ship, you're looking for a way to make/restore planets, you've got a job system so you're not dying in a gutter, etc. The game is basically set in the same universe (hah) as Gargleblasted.

Some of you have mentioned that you would like to app characters to the game that you played in Gargleblasted. This isn't something we're against. Our main concern is that the game has been closed for two years and that characters may need some dusting off or the memories of the CR may be murky. Still, if players can write an app with clarity and summarize their character's stay on the Thor, we as mods would be okay with allowing in Gargleblasted AUs.

However, this isn't a decision we want to make on our own. Your thoughts as players matter to us, and that's what this poll is for. We ask that you vote in it honestly. If you feel the need to explain your answer, you can post below either logged in or anonymously.

Vote in the poll!
