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

Skype chat started belting out lyrics to things.

And, well MA... I um... I wrote this for you [to the tune of Barrett's Privateers.]

Chorus

• Goddamn them all! I was told
• We'd search the stars for Centauri gold
• We'd fire no guns- Shed no tears
• Now I'm a broken man on Europan pier
• The last of Bai Zheng's Privateers

Song

• The year was three-nine-ninty-nine
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• My promotion came down from command
• To the scummiest ship on the Fed's whole line

Chorus

• Oh, Captain Bai Zheng came from town
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• with twenty brave men each a pilot who
• would make for him his Flight's own crew

Chorus

• His carrier ship was a sickening sight
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• She'd a dent to the port, standard in rags
• And the cook in the scuppers tossed our meals in bags

Chorus

• On old Selk's birthday we took to sky
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• We were twenty hours in the flow
• Cursing like madmen; it wouldn't go

Chorus

• On our 18th day, we launched again
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• When a damned big Cent ship came in sight
• With our auld Quicksilvers, we made to fight

Chorus

• The Cent corvette, it looked like hell
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• She'd dents and patches with engines dead
• Still, the damned thing launched ahead!

Chorus

• Then at length, we stood two shots away
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• Our Quicksilvers made an awful din
• But one legless Hive, it stoved us in!

Chorus

• Our carrier shook, a hole in her side
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• Bai Zheng was smashed like a bowl of eggs
• The ejection took off both me legs

Chorus

• So here I lay in my 23rd year
• /How I wish I was on terra now/
• It's been three years since we took to sky
• And I didn't see Sol 'til last July

Chorus

-Standing ovation-

Hiss. Boo.

... Ahem. That wonderful performance aside, I'm thinking at capping out the players at 12 per side. We will hopefully begin later this week, possibly on Tuesday after I'm done both with my work for a few days and college for the semester.

I had some time on my hands, so I made a spreadsheet in Google Docs detailing our characters and frames. You can examine the data however you want if you click the little drop-down box in a column and select "sort sheet". You can also add and subtract stuff if you feel like it. Don't worry about messing anything up; I made sure to create back-ups.

Another MA short story

Centauri Squadron 2! We needs a cooler name than Centauri Squadron 2!

So far we are comprised of plants, military stuff, and... Dark, just what heck are you? >:(

Anyways, let us come up with a better team name!

Oh, let me just reach into my bag of names (That I totally made up myself without any help for reals it's legit you guys) for some suggestions.

• Big Robot Smasher Defenders Sigma
• Cannon Mecha Demon Guard
• Covert Techno Legion I
• Cyber System Steam Mover Legion Zeta
• Engine Corps Psi
• Exo Bowmen
• High Fortress Titanium Guardian Unit
• Intergalactic Sabre Radiation Colossus Outfit
• Mechanized Taskforce
• Orbital Engine Avatars
• Power Machine Archer Brigade Sigma
• Robo Sabre Robot Taskforce
• Robotic Demon Outfit
• Shining Colossus

Wait. I got it. I feel stupid for not thinking of it before.

The Guns n' Roses

Squeeeeeee

But drop the "the", maybe?

"The Exo Bowmen"

...How about "The Neo Bowmen"?

-coughs at the unnamed Fed Squad-

More seriously, the Centauri squad has consented to the name "Na Cúnna Fearguis" [The Hounds of Fergus].

Tenative Motto; "Ní hIompraím Díoṁaoin"/"It is not meet to idle".

I have not yet rounded up my Federation Squadron for a discussion.

B sqn, Task Force Fed, may need a unit name also, once Rodeo is confirmed to be part of the lineup.

It begins.

Aces.

Knights.

where doing it man

where MAKING THIS HAPEN

Will get a post up...hopefully within 24 hours. My IR paper comes first.

Whoop, time for Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Back in an hour.

Jim Henson's what shop?

The first rule of Jim Henson's Creature Shop is you don't talk about Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Also Agents of Shield is on.... Bai!

What is this insulting of Jimmy's jokes? I'll not stand for this! D:

Funny, Roxy's exact words after being told the joke were:

"I don't get it."

@Para: It's a reality competition show where artists compete for a job at the Jim Henson company by building creatures every week. Tonight was the first season finale.

@Nman: No spoilers! I have to wait 'til tomorrow to watch it.

edit: So, uh, I just invented a new accessory for flight suits: a built in cable with a launcher and rewinder all contained in the suit's sleeve, used for maneuvering in zero G. The controls are a series of pads built into the glove, which activate the launcher and rewinder, or can detach the cable if necessary.

It just kinda seems like a logical thing for combat personnel who frequently operate in space to have.

Fed posters miiiiight need to slow down as it seems like Bec has rammed into two different people in possibly three different places. She may or may not secretly be Schrodinger's Catgirl.

I'm trying to be helpful with my character but I have no idea what is going on.

edited 13th May '14 10:50:50 PM by Fauxlosophe

Three people, I think.

In my defense, I was first. :P

Also, I put an edit in my last post.

I think Calvin is just commenting on the wreckage.
