[OOC Thread] The Lesser of Two Heresies.
HexaDoken:
Also, I _DO_ have Awareness. I just mistook it as a talent rather than a basic skill and posted in wrong category :P Fixed now.
Check page 4 of the thread.
EDIT: Silhar, informing you that we now all have IRC, and I've set up a channel #DarkHeresy on irc.quakenet.org. Altho, the channel is not registered, and if it will be left unpopulated, it will vanish, but hell, whatever. Can be still brought back easily.
As a general request, try to inform about your turns there. My IRC client will make a nice sound signal every time you do, while forums do not. Due to being busy with intence gamworking, I couldn't notice the few turns that were made in time. That is quite dissapointing. I would be easily able to reply if at least one of you dropped a line in chat.
LuckyDee:
@HexaDoken, in regard to your request: I don't want to speak before my turn, but there are multiple reasons for this not to make sense. Even if the technology's available:
* We are at a shrine of some kind. I don't expect a terminal to use will be present. You have no equipment with which to do this yourself (or at least it's not listed)
* You are a Guardsman, not a Technician. You have no skills to use whatever terminal may be present. It doesn't make it impossible, but really difficult at least.
* You're from a Feral World. Chances are very high you can't even read/write. Not only that, Feral Worlders have a notorious distrust for technology.
I'm not saying that what you're doing is wrong, but it is highly unlikely. Likewise, you don't have to defend yourself against me, I was just wondering if you are aware of this, as it is quite a big difference between the character on paper and the character in play.
Klear:
I was quite sure I read somewhere that there is something akin internet in the Warhammer universe, but when I searched for any mentions of it I got nothing. In any case, there wouldn't be anything about the inquisition there even if it existed, I'm sure of that.

Re: IRC - I recommend to subscribe to the relevant threads, so you can get email notifications when something happens.
Edit: BTW, any news on Tavana or anybody else who might be joining mid-game?
HexaDoken:
I have a mini PDA attached to my right arm. Hey, if I would just go to the nearest terminal and start operating with it, that would be too much noticeable, wouldn't it?
Indeed, I am a guardsman, not a technician. That doesn't mean that I can't use terminals whatsoever. In our real life, one doesn't need to be a technician to open a browser and fire up a google search, does he? He won't be actually able to hack Pentagon, but that isn't what I did.
Actually finding something is a different story.
I am from Feral World, yes. But that doesn't mean I can't learn things. And that doesn't mean I distrust technology. That is USUALLY aplicable to feral worlders, but not always.
Honestly, my world isn't really Feral. But the Feral type was the closest one. My world isn't populated enough to be a Hive, my world is too harsh to be Imperial, and my world is certainly not Void born. I think it stands somewhere inbetween Feral and Imperial.
LuckyDee:
Ok, clear - I was just wondering...

Don't forget that, like Silhar said, we are living in a technological Dark Age. Don't take anything for granted...
[EDIT] Tech-Use is an advanced Skill (so impossible to do without training)
