Weird request - anyone have good suggestions for stories around a poker table? I can see it working visually rather than in prose for doing the play-by-play, and I could use (er, steal) some inspiration if anyone has recommendations.
Not a auggestion as such, but an observation about such scenes: The conversation is almost never really about what is going on on the table... As for topics of conversation, it could be anything from personal to political
I like that idea - I'm not always a fan of script-fics so I'm not sure I could handle it, though I'm going to backburner that idea for some future ULC, I think.
Would handle some of the flow problems, probably, thinking about it form that angle - thanks!

Glad to be of help I think sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right latch. When the LC was first posted, the poker prompt didn't trigger anything. It wasn't until I recalled the conversation about the conversation between Marcus and Fairfax, that it occured to me that there had to be a trigger for that conversation, and a poker night seemed a suitable catalyst Care to make a guess on who actually reported him?
@marcusdkane - Very nice! I thought to do the same (rumors), so now that that has been done, time for ... something else. I like the music choice at the end of the pieces for this LC.
I had an interesting issue though: how Scott recalled so much about a specific Article. Is that expected IRL?

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, but sorry to have beaten your idea I figured that was a fitting track just to bookmark that Marcus is/was (depending on ones chronological point of view) a pretty messed up guy with some serious issues...
I'm not sure how much it would be required IRL, but I figured that serving personnel would have to have some idea of the rules and regs they were supposed to follow. Marcus made him recite it, because he had no moral high ground of his own to fall back on, so had to literally rely on the Article to maintain the position of authority, and making Scott acknowledge exactly what he had done wrong, was about all he could do to scare the bejesus out of him, rather than trying to justify his own sealed court-martial The only liberty I took, was that under the UCMJ, someone would not ordinarily be held to account for things said or done in a purely private conversations. But, given the nature of the piece, I figured that as a starship is such a sealed environment and community, privacy rulings would have to be a bit different

Probably a bad sign for a captain when they're reduced to a book, even in a closed space, but I think Marcus really handled the situation as well as could be.

Thanks, guys. Though I realized later I gave Bynam an impossible hand (you can't count your opponent's three into a four of a kind, lol). Fixed now, though.

Yeah, Marcus was a pretty flawed individual, so he had to get shuffled off his immortal coil, but he is fun to work with every now and again when the circumstances fit
I had a bit of an idea stewing around for the first one, but was thinking it might be ripping off a TV show. I might still try modifying the idea somehow.
Ah, sorry about that, antonine. This one was a toughie and I may have put too much in it.
The Winter Wonderland mention was a reference to my entry for LC69, and the Menrow mention was a ref to his body-switching in my entries for ULC4 and ULC11.
Community S03E10 Regional Holiday Music (the one where they make fun of Glee). I was going to have each crew person drop off into musicalness one by one until the Captain was left, but I kind went with a condensed version.
Thanks for putting together the article - nothing against the story, I'm just not in the right mindset to get it right now or something - I don't think it's a failure on your part.

@StarSword-C - I agree, nice win. I was a little surprised about the Starfleet pay though, or maybe I've missed a big something ... @jonnaroslyn - This was a sweet piece as the characters were very personable very quickly. @hawku001x - So, Samya is my hero.

Maybe "three weeks' pay" was a bit of an exaggeration by Eleya.

I lean towards Amanda as the most uneasy with the conversation, personally.

I'd imaging Janeway would have to tamp down certain scuttlebutt like Marcus did.
You'd think, I suspect she just stuck her fingers in her ears and drank more coffee

(As South Park noted, Simpsons have done almost everything, as just one example. It's in the execution)

anyway it's just something short and silly, basically Sex and the City IN SPACE but with more likeable characters

I apologize, I feel like I'm missing a background or context on the jokes in this one to get the right feelf or it - I did like the music selections.
