Debating whether or not to bring the rest of Mitchell's squad into this. Reasons for: Mitchell rarely operates alone, and he's not all that useful by himself (he can't carry more than one heavy weapon for example, and to do so he must dump extra weight). Reasons against: isn't technically part of my avatar (though they are part of the larger image, I think), might be overpowered. I'll let you two decide.

Though the shot was slowed down by the intervening terrain, it struck Mitchell's leg, slowing him down. The scout's shots were stopped by the body armour. Seeing him, he flung a cooked grenade at his position.

^Dude, Mitchell isn't part of your avatar. Either start playing as the cat-angel-whateverthehellitis, or switch back to Mitchell, and just play him. If you guys would play by the unspoken-but-self-explanatory rules of Avatar Arena, you wouldn't keep outnumbering each other. Almost everybody else that's played has been content to use one person at a time.

If you think I should drop this, BTW, please say so.

Scout: *ducks as the grenade explodes*

Grenadier: *drags Fulmer behind the counter* You'll be safe here sir.

Fulmer: Wait! Take my goggles. *gives the Grenadier the IR goggles* They'll help you more than they helped me...

Grenadier: Thank you sir. *takes the goggles before running up to Mitchell's position and firing a HE grenade*

Artemis, I get that you're not happy about the avatar thing. I'm not inclined to get riled up about this, however. There, back to my actual avatar.

Mitchell barely manages to avoid the HE grenade, his injured leg sending a jolt of pain up his body. He does the only thing he can do in this situation - spray supressive fire at both the scout and the marine position.

Grenadier: *hits the ground, draws his MP 7 and shoots at Mitchell*

Holt: *switches to normal ammo and fires on Mitchell's position*

Ugh. I'm going to duck out for a while (anything from 10 minutes to a few hours) to clear my head. I'm not wanting to get yelled at (admittedly for a valid reason).

A few of the shots go wide due to the supressive fire, while some of them strike Mitchell. Gasping, he finds a thick piece of concrete that was dislodged by the earlier airstrike.

That was close...

EDIT: Artemis, I am not a guy who likes to get others angry (which is why I'd make a rubbish troll). It actually makes me feel awkward/bad and it also makes me want to "get back". As I've explained before, I only switched avatars because staring at the same one becomes monotonous.

...Yelled at? But I didn't use any exclamation points... Damned lack of nonverbal cues. Reminds me of a story in a Cracked.com article... Now I got a headache.

I really need to start getting out more.

EDIT: I can't say I like yelling(Of course, technically I haven't made a noise in probably more than an hour), either. I'm not usually the kind to get bent out of shape over stuff like this(then again, I'm practically an 18-year-old hermit).

I'm gonna break for lunch.

...Just back to reply to that. I feel slightly calmer now. The funny thing is, Rallyfan's using a Mitchell image that is more-or-less the same, so that may confuse people. tongue Maybe I'm over-sensitive, being 16 and all...

...16? Aviation, machinery, physics, has an opinion on electronics... I'm 18, I play videogames and read books, and that's about it. I don't even know what Firefox is. "Not a terribly interesting person," my foot.

As far as rallyfan's image, he hasn't played for a while, so it doesn't seem that confusing to me.

It seems like a lot of tropers are fairly young...

EDIT: I've got an idea that will make both of us happy. When I'm posting in this game, I will switch to my Mitchell avatar. When I'm not, I switch to whatever avatar I want. Deal?

Yeah, but I think I keep underestimating that. I looked up inferiority complex in the dictionary once, and I'm fairly sure I've got one. Isn't a very far jump to the conclusion that that's why I keep imagining everybody as older than me until proven younger.

EDIT: Makes plenty of sense to me. Are you posting in another avatar thread? I remember Gloom was.

Mitchell gritted his teeth and threw the grenades back into the alleyway.

Let's see how you like it.

He fired at the pair so that they couldn't put on a gas mask or throw them back without risking being shot.

-The marines had already put their masks on when they decided on the chemical attack-

Marine 1: *throws a HE grenade*

Marine 2: *throws another tear gas grenade and waits for the fire to stop before kicking the 2 grenades away from their position*

Grenadier: *uses his IR goggles to see through the gas and fires an incendiary grenade at Mitchell's position*

Holt: *fires through the gas and hopes to hit Mitchell*

Sorry, I've got to go do something.

The tear-gas grenades stopped half-way between the Marines and Mitchell. He took a deep breath in an attempt to lessen the effects of the grenades and decided to fire at the gas masks - in the best case scenario he would kill them or render the gas mask inoperable, and in the worst case scenario he might just hit one of them. He moved backwards into deeper cover, while the HE grenade blew a small chunk of the concrete off his original position, which only barely catches fire from the incendiary grenade, and even then the flames are quite small.

Holt misses entirely, while Mitchell's CrossCom allows him to fire an accurate burst back at him.

Mitchell's cover provided protection against the bullets. He then proceeded to fire another burst at the diamond.

Fulmer: Calm down! He's human like us! Aaaah!

Holt: Sir! *looks at his leg wound* Goddamn...

-The Grenadier and the 2 Marines continue hurling explosives at Mitchell-

Spearman: Fox three! *fires his last AA-12 at the F-22*

Blizzard: *expertly dodges the Ace and fires off a burst of rockets at the air control tower*

Mitchell retreated as far as he dared to avoid the explosives.

Enough's enough.

He fired his UGL at the two marines, arcing it in such a way that (hopefully) if they attempted to run backward or forward that they would be caught by the grenade.


The Raptor attacked by the AA-12 is somewhat damaged, but it responds with an AIM-9X.

Gryphus 1 still stays behind Blizzard and fires two AIM-9Xs.

Blizzard: *pulls up hard and tries to get his jet off of the seekers' line of sight whilst firing flares*

-The 2 Marines run from the entrance as far away as possible-

Grenadier: *runs away too but gets blown away by the explosion* Whoa! *lands on his belly* Ow...

The missile chasing Spearman is fooled by the flares and hits one.

The missiles chasing Blizzard stay hot on his trail.


Mitchell fires at the Marines while they run away.
