Okay, time to enter the stage. What's the recap of the battle?

Damn it, I'm confused now. Where exactly is everyone on the battlefield? My current map (in my head) has it looking like this:

North:

  • 3 / 5 lances
  • Niveus: Godzilla
  • Eless: Michael

East:

  • 3 / 5 lances
  • Niveus: None
  • Eless: Fasalina (I assume, I don't know that much about Gun X Sword.)

West:

  • 5 / 5 lances
  • Niveus: None
  • Eless: None

South:

  • 0 / 5 lances (This is what I get for not writing clearly. I haven't actually written in the destruction yet.)
  • Niveus: Kira, Master Asia, Nono / Lal'C, Muddy Waters, Garrod / Tiffa / Witz / Roybea (The last two groups are by inference, since all the lances in Muddy's sector are destroyed and he's checking on the Gundam X.)
  • Eless: Lucio, S-Drive Dragon (I'm assuming again)

Undetermined:

  • Niveus: Coop, Simon / Nia, Sybille, Toybox Girl X, Rei
  • Eless: Peter Parker, Reiuji

I need to clarify:

  • Was Lucio blocking the blast from Freedom or Gundam X?
  • How many lances should be left standing? (If Lucio and the dragon are still there, there has to be a minimum of one lance intact.)
  • How is Lucio interacting with the dragon?

I am also confused, because earlier the GM posted that there was 1 lance in the south, 3 in the north, and 3 in the east, with the west destroyed.

[up]You are right about positions in my characters, but that is because I was under the impression there would only be one left in the south. You can surely see the sense in Michael and Fasalina, the better robots, protecting the noth and east, but realising the south is pretty much lost. By your reckoning, Michael should be protected the place which has five lances remaining.

The dragon isn't interacting with Lucio, it's on autopilot. Lucio's player hasn't contacted me concerning so... Yeah it's going solo. Lucio would have to ask Micheal, and so on.

Set this straight GM!

It doesn't matter much to me or TBG which direction she went off to destroy in but might venture a guess and say she had a hand in destroying some of those lances so she is probably in proper position around the last target she attacked.

[up][up]Let me rephrase that part about the southern lances: since Lucio and the dragon are defending the same objective, subsequent posts should try to take that into account, at least in the way of acknowledging that there are two mechs in the same area. (I didn't mean interaction in-universe.)

Well, in an ideal situation, all those with characters located in the area should actually discuss how you want the battle to play out and coordinate accordingly. First, though, we need to decide if there's actually anything left worth defending. I'm not sure if it's actually possible for Lucio and the dragon to fend off Master Asia and Diebuster while shielding the lances from Freedom's blasts at the same time.

I agree regarding the placement of your characters: I don't even know if any fighting's taken place in the North and East, come to think about it: Godzilla hasn't destroyed anything of importance so far, and Fasalina's newly-arrived on the scene. So the count should correspond to the original tally:

  • North: 5/5
  • East: 5/5
  • West: 5/5
  • South: 1/5

We'll need Ragna to decide regarding the tally (how did the ones in the North and East get destroyed?), but I'd propose the following sequence of events:

  • The characters with undetermined locations should decide on one soon (retconned into the narrative if needed) - I'd suggest the West, since nothing's going on there. They should then start actively going for the lances on that side.
  • While the remaining grounded Niveans take on Lucio and the dragon, the airborne units (consisting of Freedom and the two VFs for now) should be able to account for the South side's lances.
  • Elessians should give up the South side as a lost cause and regroup in the East, where Fasalina can spring an ambush.
  • Niveans should split up after securing the South and West, I guess.

Sorry for being such a.. inconsistent GM, really sorry. I'm going to have a map made for the rest of the upcoming battles. Grids and what not to, you know, keep track of everything. Also true to SRW Fashion! Ahaha!

And yes, this tally count is right.

[up] The tally you gave me said 3 in north, 3 in east, 0 in west and 1 in South. Now you tell me there are actually three remaining clumps of lances. Oi vey.

[up][up]I would like to suggest that, for clarity's sake, the south lances get completely wiped out. Collataral damage or something. Then we don't need to care about the South anymore. We start anew, as it were, and if possible, assume every Niveus is in the South area (Except for whoever Peter is fighting. To me their battle seemed to be taking them all around the battlefield). They decide to move on to the North area, but see Godzilla and Saudade, and think 'fuck no' and so go to the East however, before they can, Fasalina comes to then and attacks the prone GX, drawing their attention.

In short, we take everyone, lump them in the south area, then they move out from there to wherever they want.

I would still prefer it if the match ups stay the same. For example, Fasalina came through an opening to take out a prone enemy (GX) and i assumed the others wold jump in and fight her for their allies survival, meaning the East lances are defended. I would like to request, and hope, that this can happen, please, as it fits her character. Then, seeing a stone wall, as it were, some of those in the south, who decide to leave Fasalina to the others,decide to try the West, but lo and behold, an S Dragon and Lucio are there to cut them off (And if we are retconnng, I would like to put in a new mech instead of the S dragon if possible, one that could do a bit of team work).

Nobody wants to get between Michael and Godzilla heh.

This is simpler in my mind, and yes, it is basically throwing all the pieces off the chessboard and starting again in a way, but I'd rather just get back to R Ping please.

[up][up]Don't worry too much about it. Our writing needs to be a little tighter too if we're going to keep track of so many parallel events.

Next step: we retcon things so that between Muddy and Kira, a total of 4 lances were destroyed, and Lucio and the dragon are defending the last lance...

If my playing of Fasalina makes you feel either dirty/sleazy or turns you on, then I've kept her in character. Seriously, in the series you don't know whether she's fighting the heroes or masturbating inside her cockpit.

"Let me gift you with some of my nectar." and she's Michael girlfriend/wife too.

Big Daddy P: Will analyse when more time is available, but on the surface, it looks like a viable plan. The remaining Elessian characters need to project their locations though.

[up]For sure.

Ok guys so just a question, are any of your mecha in play right now... Do they have personalities? I think it was evangelion where the mechs cold be sentient, but... Yeah, because if so, I'd like to know the effect Dahlia is having on them.

To gigantic mecha, she's just a stripper, LOL. I love Gun X Sword.

That and an EVA isn't exactly... ahem... robotic and hence why they have personalities.

My Mecha is sentient, has no operator, and its an Artillery Robot the size of a human. Her human-like body is composed of nano-machines.

Maybe ;). As a robot her gender is more superficial though, in her universe, there are humans who've been mostly or completely transformed into bots replacing the cells of the body with nanomachines. The Canon isn't really clear on how that worked.

She isn't the original model created by C.S.-chan but rather a derivative of the original Toybox Girl. Her personality is greatly different from the original who was very unsure of herself and.. spacey yet was very strong when actually in combat.

She is small because most robots are designed to be small and mobile. Big robots, even fast ones, are easy targets in Cosmic Break and the only ones around are those that take armies to bring down.
