Mythril Aces (Re)Union: Real Robot RP Discussion Thread

I'm only saying it seems to ring hollow for me; it was less that you were heard and more that he gave up chasing you and promised to kill you later for using stolen Cent tech.

Granted, I was planning to upgrade you all after Kalm along with the Cents which would have made the Rounds into difficult Bosses rather than able to charge a group of 16 with 3 and actually strike fear into them.

Also, this is thirteen years after the RP proper, though the War continued on for another three years after the RP concluded and so you may well have been on Aeris (or restationed elsewhere with your flightmates) until 10 years ago.

I look back on my old work... and while I could definitely do better now, I realize it wasn't as OMFGWTFTHISISGODAWFUL as I remember it.

That's a nice feeling.

...Meh. I think I'll let Kiera stay where she's at. Unless Calvin shows up again. If he comes back for some reason, she's showing up.

Because we'll have everyone except Phil and Yasan. They held the team back.

As much as I've wished in the past I hadn't signed up because no one would ever have witnessed the fuck-ups I made in it, it's somewhat satisfying to see I improved as it was going on. At least, I think I improved.

I'm hitting the hay, but yeah; you got better. You weren't that bad in the first place either, just sort of a character not well adjusted for the setting. Kiera from the early game might have done well in MA, Centside, if you got on with Spain.

Why do you all only wake up after I fall asleep?

On transforming frames: Maybe? Depends on what they'd transform into, I suppose, but I can't see much logical reason for one apart from the good ole' Macross-style airplane mode for aerodynamics. The Firefly from the original game is still canon, I just haven't introduced it yet - there are more than just the 9 base frames for each side.

I'm not sure I ever got an answer to this but I was involved in a subplot that I'm not sure if we're going forward with or not. Just in case I'm going to allude to a hush-hush assignment Reid's been putting off.

"Why don't Cents set up wiki pages?", Faux?

It's down to differing philosophy.

Feds: "Better read than dead."
Cents: "Better dead than read."

I'm going to be working on Mira's thing before too long.

Yeah, sorry about not posting lately. Seems lately that by the time I get behind my computer, I tend to be tired and grumpy. I'll try to keep up.

@Eponymous Kid: Hydrall can be slow on P Ms and stuff was buried under things. I'll bring this to his attention.

@Rena: I somehow doubt that Lilith is a more avid reader than Elaine.

@Dragon: Cheers.

@Fluid: Understandable but toss a heads up if possible. Though tired and grumpy is sort of a valid way to feel two days a ton of people died. :P

@Gi G: Read your PM but I had an awful sleep and I can't quite visualize it. I'm up for bringing it up in a Skype chat with hydrall.

@Game: Isra is currently waiting on either dining person.

Duly noted. Will use it in the future as a way to stay in character.

I can't believe you would use canon to meme on me like that Faux

Actually, this started as me complaining to Hydrall for not updating the Rosters; At one point I said M'bala was the only sniper because I went through the whole list which didn't have Kara's name on it.

That said, once I saw a trend, I called it as I saw it.

Edit: Also, see Darth?! I told you that we had memes other than "Eventually.". We should probably set up a page for those too.

Blargh, I rise from my grave, and am working on posts. Also, I will fix the roster once I muster the energy.

Did Faux show you my PM to him about my boss/midboss frame idea?

for the record, Rick is comatose or somesuch?

edited 22nd Nov '14 8:53:45 AM by EponymousKid

Comatose feels a bit cliché, but akin to that.

Basically, he's got a lot of shrapnel, a few burns and a pretty bad concussion. Nothing broken and no obvious scars, unlike Fergus he probably won't need Rehab, but he's lost a fair bit of blood and so he's going to be sleeping it off most of the time (ergo, me, Parable or Hydrall don't need to take over Rick).

This means that unlike Fergus who is wheelchair bound for a few months at least; Rick should be in pretty good condition after a couple of days of rest. Able to return to active duty, should he so choose.

I was side tracked but he's seen it now. There were a few wierd bits structurally in your PM but I think with some work, I could make something of it. Whether it sees use is Hydrall's call.

edited 22nd Nov '14 10:57:15 AM by Fauxlosophe

Well I was drunk so that's to be expected.

Wait, is Rick in any condition for visitors, then?

Called it.

You can visit but, unless Parable wants to play him, He's going to be asleep. I think I implied it was a possibility earlier.

edited 22nd Nov '14 7:33:02 PM by Fauxlosophe

I figured he'd be unconscious. I just wanted to make sure he wasn't still at the point where they hospital personnel were going to be like "we can't have any visitors. Things are still too 'touch and go'."

Shrapnel? What exactly happened when I was away?

Everyone Died.

No, seriously.

edited 22nd Nov '14 10:12:13 PM by RenaTheArchmage

Everything went to hell.

Both missions failed off-screen due to bad intel, people who haven't posted in a long while (probably) died, you originally died, but were then retconned into just being in critical condition, with a possibility of recovering.

Mira's coming to your room to check up on you. Everyone else is mourning, Reid is even going through survivor's guilt, but Mira is fucking pissed (and not at Rick, for once).

Just, inwardly. She's called Ice Queen for a reason, even if my characterization hasn't really shown it as well as it could have. That said, it's hard to have someone who shows no emotion when you know what they're thinking, rather than just what they're showing.

I'll try to post within a few days. Depends on when I have the time and feel up to reading however many pages of stuff I missed.

I skimmed over what I missed (You people don't post). So I guess I should just wait a couple days to see if anyone is visiting Rick, and then have him wake up?
