Jumps -- observer time?

[Commander Truestar]

Suddenly I'm not feeling quite so busy as I thought I was, but I'm doubly exhausted in sympathy

I hear they have this thing called sleep. I think you're fresh out of it

Sleep is for whimps...
Happy Heaalthy well rested whimps, but whimps none the less
(at least that is what the button on my jacket says

Any chance said Filk (and I'm just guessing they're Traveller Filk, though whatever ) might be hosted somewhere accessible to the masses?

Well, this is the issue...
Thanks to the 80's OCP debacle, deaths such as Cynthia McQuillin's, etc.. we're loosing music. This hit me when I started digitizing my collection and found an American Peddlers tape called "Survive" bought in the early 80's was dead and a Meg Davis tape called "Swing the Cat" was gone...just gone. With "Horse Tamer's Daughter" going for up to $400.00, replacement is not an option. I got lucky with survive, which is not a filk tape but songs about the USAF Basic Training. Long defunct as a group, the album is sold on-line. For "Swing the Cat", I spoke to Meg, who's old engineer still has the master tapes but time and distance are between them. Add to that the fact she is working on new stuff...
So I got into archiving tapes to save the music. At this time we have three goals,
1: Find more music and archive it to save it for item 2:
2: Make such music avalable where we can under the conditions of item 3
3: Deal with the rat's nest of IP rights, restrictions, etc that prevent us from just opening our archives to the public.(God, the three laws of archiving...Uncle Ike is laughing from below)
So no, what we are doing is not publically available per se. When we get permission, it will be released under the legally provided license(s) then avalable.
There are such sites as "Filk Archive", which I participate ni that have a number of works(I think the last time I counted it was north of 400 songs)
Other resources include a lot on youtube(including a fantastic rendition of "Dawson's Christian" by Vixy and Tony)

Yep, I'd heard some of the news of Filk being lost. So much more (though not necessarily good Filk mind you) was never even recorded. I've surfed Filk Archive in the past, I think, some Filk site(s) anyway. And the odd youtube link has been linked. Yeah, IP nightmare is to be anticipated I guess. It can't just be about the music :nonono:

Anyway, good fortune smile on your task

Me, I'm just a chronic insomniac (...and I used to joke/motto "I'll sleep when I'm dead." but that gets less funny the older I get/feel )

Clue 1: the aging rules don't reference jump induced aging difference. They do include low berth difference and anagathics difference.

Clue 2: The jump process has only one roll for jump durations.

Clue 3: Navy & Scout characters age just as fast (or slow) as worldbound characters.

I know there is an explicit reference somewhere, but it's not in MT nor TNE core.

Thanks, aramis. I had assumed it was a wrinkle that hadn't occured to the original authors (thus clue 2) but wanted to know if unsynced actually broke canon. Clues 1 and 3 could be explained away in that over a number of jumps the differences should balance out. But I guess if there is an explicit reference ...

(I have no problem braking canon IMTU, but I like to know where I have done so.)

You can break canon but it takes Urban to break a Bombard...LOL
(Lets see who knows their history?)

As a rare occurrence, no. There are canonical references to extreme mismatches between internal and external elapsed time. As a general effect, yes.

Boo, hiss.

I assume you are referring to the excommunication of Bernabò Visconti of Milan by the former Abbot Guillaume Grimoard (Urban V)?

Or to the affair between Urban IV and Manfred Hohenstaufen (succeeding where his namesake Urban III failed)?

Many points for digging even deeper than I had asked but no....
As a hint I will give you the one word: "Constantinople" and re-emphasise the words Bombard and Urban

But you still get high marks for knowing your history!!!! Few people would have pulled that form their Copes

@ Hemidan:

It's safe to say that, until MT describes minor misjumps as "Jump Relativity Error," the whole concept of Relativity seems pretty much ignored, and desynching the time would be, at most, a couple minutes rather than hours, best left for misjumps rather than a normative process.

Sorry... somehow I read that as "Break a Lombard".

Aided, no doubt, by the name Urban bringing up the other meaning of "canon".


In which case you meant the Hungarian gunsmith Orban.

A true modern weapon-maker, he hawked his wares to both sides (although only the Ottomans bought them).
