Quote from: Posterboy on May 23, 2026, 02:30 AMWhat does "a'rif kayf" mean?
It's Arabic and means 'I know how' - I assume that Cityspeak mixes languages together pretty freely. 

Quote from: Telcontar on May 23, 2026, 03:43 AMFYI. when you make a post and then go back and edit the section to make it longer I sometimes miss the change.
Yes, that's why I try not to do it unless I've missed something that I really wanted to include in a particular post, and usually if I think nobody will have read the original post yet.  Sorry to have buggered that one up for you.

Perfect. Love it!

Yeah, I didn't get on the kickstarter (didn't have any money at the time) but it's on Drivethrurpg.  The only reason I don't already have it is because I still don't have any money.

I hope to post later tonight

Is there a particular way you guys would like to handle uploading evidence from your KIAs?  Would you prefer I assume you're doing it unless you say otherwise?

It would be standard procedure for us as detectives to automatically upload the evidence from our KIAs to LAPD's mainframe, yes? If so, then I think it would be safe to assume Elly is until I say otherwise?

Eclecticon

Yep, that makes sense.  I just wanted to flag it since it impacts the game mechanically. 

ALSO!  While I've got your attention I thought I'd put in a recommendation for the 1997 Westwood game, which you can find on Steam now.  I'll give the caveat that I don't own the current version and haven't played the old one since the late 90's, so I can't really say how well the gameplay holds up.  The story expands the world of future-noir LA a fair bit, though, and the randomisation and multiple endings add a LOT of replay value.

Crowe leaves his KIA in the car. Senior privilege.

Sorry everyone - I'm tied up with lawyer-application paperwork today.  I'll post when I can, which shouldn't be very long.  Sometime over the weekend, most likely.

I see we made some wallpaper changes to the thread as well.

I may be delayed on posting over the next week. I hope to be able to get at least one in.

I'm dealing with our insurance (which has been pleasant enough, just time consuming). We had three deaths this past week in the small community I pastor, including one for our church, so 2 funerals next week, 1 the week after. And our church is hosting a conference next weekend.

Anyway, feel free to NPC if you need to move the story forward.
