OOC: Just a note, the RG, SU-01, Hembar, and Crunchy are all in the basement in a room which is all shut up at the moment, so Uggs couldn't really be in the same area.

And to those of you who are waiting to be hired, I think it's worth pointing out that you don't have to wait to be hired before even posting, that's not really the point. If you think that, I can see why you're frustrated, as it does sort of conflict if we said you can't post till you get hired but it's so hard to actually get hired. But that's not what we're saying.

You can't just have your character have a job without being hired by the boss, but that doesn't mean you can't do anything at all. The whole thing can be worked into the game; sure, it's hard to get at Arnie, but that's something that your characters can deal with. Think about what they'd do if they were really on Oddworld, they arrive at this factory and they try to find the boss, but he's locked himself up in his office, so what do they do now? That's up to you, they're your characters. But by no means does it mean you're not allowed to post anything at all.

Take a look at some of the earlier versions of W@RF, you'll see that it is incredibly frequent for characters not to get given jobs very quickly, but those characters find other things to do to keep themselves busy. They find other characters to talk to and sometimes, as what's just happened between Grace and Skleros, the existing characters can let the unemployed characters help them for the time being until they get officially employed.

From memory my own character Ralph was never officially given a job to do until the start of this version of W@RF. Just some stuff to consider.
