Warwalker: Genesis - Discussion

So, the next day or so. Excellent.

No changes to my loadout, nope.

Er, sorry I'm still having a bad combination of writer's block and real life distractions. So I'll go ahead and mention here that Bart plans on switching his mech's back module for a stealth unit.

I'll try to post later, but if the act of posting continues to elude me, you'll at least know Bart's general plan so you can keep going.

On Vacation. Recovering from sleep dep and alcohol.

Post may be up later.

For now it burns.

Alright, I'm going to put the first post of the mission (the drop) up in a bit, so if you've been waiting to post anything related to pre-mission stuff, do it now.

And... I'm trying to make sure things aren't super-easy or incredibly difficult for you guys, so here's what I'm basing things off of. I'm pretty sure I made no mistakes, so no need to confirm that I'm right, you just have to mention if I'm wrong. We can go ahead and retcon gear for Soloman and Sampson when Faux feels better and Rabbit un-vanishes, but I'm guessing they'll keep what they have for now.

• Tiny: Kinetic - Vibroblade, Flamethrower, Machine Gun, Stealth System
• Archer's Mech: 1.21 Gigawatts, BFG - Flamethrower, Railgun(BFG), Capacitor Bank, Stealth System
• Fry: Armless, Hot blooded - Ion machine gun, Railgun, Shockwave generator, Stealth System
• The Bitch : Weapon Platform; Kinetic - Chainsaw, Shrapnel Gun, Ammo Pod, Gatling Gun (x2)
• Soloman: Armless, Weapons Platform - Oxy-Incinerator (x2), Capacitor Bank (x2), Hunker Shield
• Samson : BFG, Weapons platform - Railgun artillery (x2), Railgun (x2 - 1 normal, 1 BFG), Drone

Archer's loadout is correct.

Soloman is correct. Still not feeling an incharacter post due to lateness and fear of articulating but I should be able by tomorrow. Busy couple of first days and a long flight and as well packing before hand delayed me. I gave some notice of this in my game thread where nman is but I would have given far more if I suspected it would be as time consuming as it was. I am enjoying myself but it's difficult to find computer time in the midst of it all without feeling like I'm wasting an opportunity.

That's okay. It's when people drop out for no reason... and keep posting 1000-word posts in other threads when it's a problem.

I figured as much. I think this had one of my last posts, I had a short one in mind too before going but never had the time to actually post now I need to play catch up tomorrow morning. I would give word before I left, certainly though. That said, I'm not as reliable as I'd like to be in the foreseeable future and would hand Teferi over to nman should I hold things up again.

Normally I'd say Rider would also have jurisdiction but he's been fairly busy/unreliable lately.

I think it's Skyrim.

I don't need to assume direct control - no point in roleplaying with myself. Like I said, we'd just sort of mention that your mech is there, but not what they are actually doing. Maybe I'll just figure that what everyone in the team does has a teeny bit more oomph. So if maybe by the third turn or whatever you're able to post, I'd just assume that your mech has the same damage as the average other mech in the team, and you can start playing from that point.

You've got Tiny right.

Bitch is good.

So when your mechs land, make sure to mention what sort of formation they're in when they start moving (distances between each mech, etc). I don't need anything super-detailed, I just don't want to assume all six are clumped together if you have something else in mind.

Clumping together is begging for an arty strike.

Y u no drop?

But really, I hope no one missed my hottip, you can drop whenever you want - or not. It's really just there in case any of you want to fall with style instead of saying "After landing...", which considering this is the TV Tropes RP forum, I guess that at least one of you would.

Ah, I didn't see that. I was waiting for you to give the go-ahead. I suppose I'll do that now.

"Fall with style"

No, I think I'll go for the opposite, thank you very much.

Anyway, sorry that took a few more days than intended to actually get posted.

Sometimes I get distracted way too easily.

I'm wavering on a temporary drop. I feel like this game is just starting while I'm enjoying my vacation and keeping very busy. I set aside time for internet but I am usually far too tired to compose anything of quality. I'd hate to feel like I was holding things up though, so pending Nman's verdict, I'll either post or have Teferi injured by some twist of fate he can't control.

This is the second go at this darn RP. The first was Warwalker: The Mechoning and it didnt work out. I really hope this one does.

Me too buddy, me too.

And yeah, Faux, we can sort of just ignore Tefari for now, and depending on how far along in the mission we are when you get back, we'll just figure it out then.

Real life distractions keep popping up on my end. Though that may get better for the next few days; can't say for sure.

The writer's block ain't helping matters either.

So while we're waiting, here's the "high detail" satellite map of the missile site◊ I made in Paint.net and based off of a Titan museum. That entire square is 250x250 meters/800x800 feet, and you can figure that it's in the center of a clearing 600m/2000 feet in radius. The abbreviations are:

• Missile Silo (I tried to draw a hatch, okay?)
• Barracks 1-3
• Garage 1-3
• Fuel Hardstand / Pavement
• Sam Site
• Access Portal

Glad we got to you before an art gallery claimed you.

Most of that makes sense to me, but... What's the access portal?

Why, it's how you get inside, of course

Also, this looks much prettier than what I drew.
