More like Advanced Tactics 501. Stuck at 800 words, and staring at Word acting like words will magically appear.

Right? It's the "easily make most of it up" part that's got me stumped. lol

Thrustors! Everyone minimizes their contribution to Tactical excellence.

Kurasa: good point.

Not really, posting when bored is more "down time", and can lead to interacting with others and just some good old character development. Every piece of writing will have some sort of "filler" in it where you get to learn more about said character, its just a different part of writing.

There can be lots of posts that aren't as much fun, but they can be a stepping stone. I sometimes toss a post out there that is different and intended to be a stand alone and it accidentally sticks. It triggers some interaction that was totally unexpected and rewarding. I love it when that happens.

And now that song is forever stuck in my head...lol

It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Cardassia came along

Yes blame the Cardies

Well it is much fun to blow stuff up, rather than piecing it back together.

I would venture that an Engineer could enjoy both, and that they' be experts at getting the biggest spectacular bang for the credit

Sure, but Tactical is the one that gets to hit the big red button to do so. :P
