Croft example

[Rob Lang]

Feels like I've been working on this for a million years! Here's the new version of a Croft (automated farm) taking delivery from a Cyclone. This kind of event happens a lot and is a good time for criminals to sneak people and illegal items off planet.


One in the rules is black and white.

i like the reference to a croft. we still have them up here, although i doubt many have survived this cold snap.

many dead scottish small holders.... say ahhhh

[Rob Lang]

I like the term Croft. I like the idea of a small, friendly community set far away from 'Civilisation'. Although that doesn't really exist in the modern communication world (and even less so in the Icar universe), the term Croft does bring about feelings of friendly community. It does to me.

Celtic veins, you see.

[misterecho]

Your name is Robert Lang and you have ginger hair, you are more scottish than me.

[Rob Lang]

It's worse. Robert Ian William Lang.

Robert Ian William Hamish Cameron Callum Donald Alister Lang

Let me guess you also suffer from roseacia (aka celtic blush)

and drink malt whiskey and 10 shilling ale

[Rob Lang]

I do drink single malt. At uni, I'd finish a bottle of Glenfiddich in an evening.

Hang on, don't you have Mc in your name?

[misterecho]

Gordon Mckerrell is fairly scottish.

A whole bottle of whiskey in a single night is hardcore...
even by scottish standards.

all I can add is I went to school with a Clinton Stirling Jarvis (I think thats how its spelled)

[misterecho]

Stirling is a pretty big town here in scotland, there is a monument to Sir William Wallace and a really cool castle there.
