Futuristic NCQuest: Mecha flavored action, OOC

[Malphaestus]

I'll read and post tomorrow.

 

[Malphaestus]

I will not post tomorrow, I need rest. Skip me.

 

[AnonyMouse]

Sorry about the delay. I wasn't getting notifications for the story thread. I was waiting for Viper to post. Got tired of waiting. Today, I decided I'd just go ahead and post...

*opens up story thread.*

*Sees Viper posted two days ago.*

*Sad AnonyMouse noises*

So, what have we learned today? Check the damn thread, even if you're not getting any messages about new posts.

Time to finish off those damn drones.

 

[Viper Actual]

Electronic warfare is go.

 

[Windsock]

I'd like to thank everyone once more for their patience.

 

[SkyHawk MK IV]

My apologies if I haven't posted/ said anything of late. The last few days has been a bit hectic to say at the least so if Malphaestus or YsFanatic would like to go ahead for Operation 1A, then by all means.

 

[Malphaestus]

I already notified you to skip me this turn.

[YsFanatic]

Alright, I'll try to get a post up tomorrow or Monday

Pasta-la-vista, hombres.

Question, are the helicopters a decent distance away still or have they gotten pretty close? Windsock

Consider them as just reaching the mid-range envelope

 

[Viper Actual]

AnonyMouse forgot to tell you but I posted yesterday. Just in case the notifications are being fucky-wucky again.

 

[SkyHawk MK IV]

I'll be dropping a post to make up for what I've missed so far.

 

[SkyHawk MK IV]

Ain't much but I posted.

Hello all. As GM for NCQuest I have several announcements to make.

First things first, I would like to admit I am getting second thoughts on what is currently happening in queue A in general. My writing in this area has been downright bad by my own standards and I would like to level with everyone in queue A that I find I am doing you a disservice by continuing as is. The situation entirely my own fault as GM, and I recognize the fact that what I am currently putting out isn't very inspiring for your own writing. I find my own writing to be uninspiring after reading it, and I find the fact everyone can still give me good posts afterwards unbelievable.

I have received explicit negative feedback in private for queue A that I fully agree with after consideration, and I find that I would actually appreciate more negative feedback from all of my players. I would like everyone to be more explicit with what they would prefer to see from me and what they find distasteful with what I am providing as a GM.

With the situation in queue A in mind, I would like to offer a private poll to everyone in queue A. Please PM me with your preference of either continuing as is, with the knowledge I have a curve-ball in mind, or we can skip it entirely. As this is a poll, the majority answer (2/3) will be what we're going to do.


Thankfully, queue B has no issues, but I admit I was dreading writing for it because I was dreading writing in general lately with what I just said in mind. Please expect a post later today.


On the better side of news, I would like to notify everyone that @Tanya Degurechaff is back in business but has chosen not to interfere in the current happenings. They will be sitting out this first set of operations. To get them back in the swing of things, we have planned a collaboration detailing what Niko has been up to with their handler, Oswald. That will be finished by the time we're ready to end "ep1".

Fuck DMs, I think you've been doing great and I've been keeping watch on both teams. You beat yourself up too hard Wind.

I appreciate the sentiment, but negative feedback is still a necessary ingredient for a good time. Thank you for your 2 cents

 

[YsFanatic]

I've had no issues with your posts. Sure I asked for clarification about the one thing, but I've found your posts to be top notch overall. Only reason I hadn't looked into posting was because I got caught up in other things over the weekend. However I'm off from work the next two days.

 

[Windsock]

I'd also like to notify everyone that I have noted some minor confusion regarding my IC related policy on what constitutes certain ranges/etc. I plan to work on that, alongside various other combat-related data tidbits. In other words, a small codex on battle related terminology/realities that I understand to have not made clear. Please expect that tomorrow at the latest.

 

[Windsock]

Decided to push out what I have in the lore section for the "NC combat codex". It's mostly just pre-existing data I've collated, but I made sure to include some new stuffs on what the usual 'combat envelopes' are. I'll add more info tomorrow (mobility related bits definitely), but I am still happy with what I have and would like to share it so that everyone is on the same page that I am when thinking about stuffs. Please request anything you would like clarification on, for me to work on tomorrow.

 

[Windsock]

Okay, everything I had in mind at first has been added to that little lore post. As I said, it's not much new information besides some 'basic ballpark numbers' as examples. I'm not the type to worry about specific numbers and efficiencies or what-have-you, so don't worry too much about those. As long as people get kind of an idea of what's plausible, I don't mind.

 

[Malphaestus]

I was the one who proposed some issues, but that's in the past. RPN hadn't given me notifications for anything much besides useless time-waster OOC chats.

 

[Windsock]

On the side, the voting period on what to do about queue A is over and the results suggest I should continue as-is. Thanks for trusting my abilities as a GM even if I sometimes don't. Please expect that post by tomorrow at the latest.
