Futuristic Splicers - I Am Legion - OOC Thread

That is what I was thinking.

So in this mission, are we prioritizing speed over stealth? Because if so, I won't have Chaska focus on counter-tracking.

 

[Sherwood]

Up to you guys. You could be at a good launch point for your Worm in maybe fifteen-twenty minutes going at high speed but you’ll run into a lot of combat. You have two hours to get to a launching point, but with so many robots out there something is bound to spot you eventually. You Wii just have to be careful either way.

 

[Psychie]

Does the Kamikaze Worm have stealth ability?

 

[Sherwood]

No. It is about five to six feet long and skinny, making it possible to be carried. It can walk on its own, but it needs to be blindfolded around so many machines or it will go nuts and attack the first one it sees so it has to be either carried or guided along.

 

[Psychie]

So we have to be stealthy or our worm will be spotted.

 

[Sherwood]

Correct. And it is a critical part of the plan, so it has to be protected.

 

[Purr]

Correct. And it is a critical part of the plan, so it has to be protected.

Psychie Just to speed our in-game posting along, do you want Chaska to recommend a marching order (see below)? Do you want him to Counter-track?

Eonivar Eon, would it also be all right with you if I had Chaska recommend a marching order (see below)?

Spoiler: Chaska's recommendation with a note.

Marching order: Single-file with 5-meter spread. Single-file to make following us more difficult. The 5-meter spread spaces each of our characters apart should we get hit (especially with area-of-effect weapons), but we're not too far to immediately support each other. Every odd number after point checks right. Every even number checks left except for Tail-End Charlie who completely covers Cerberus's rear.

1. "Point" Archos with Alpha and Beta - he's the more-experienced Deliveryman; he appears to know the terrain whereas Chaska is completely new to it.
2. Axel - I understand he's best in mid-range combat.
3. Toni - Our tank can cover forward or rear in a pinch.
4. Jin - As our sniper, Jin can move off towards any threats to our front and choose targets best for her.
5. "Tail-End Charlie. Chaska with Woodstock - For Counter-tracking and to make certain we're not being tailed.

Sherwood Also, may I swap a 1st-level "Other" Skill, please? I chose "History" at start of game and Chaska and I have yet to use it (or even see reason to). Would it be all right with you if I swapped it out with Machine Lore, please? I bet Chaska would get a lot more use out of that Skill.

 

[Psychie]

That marching order looks good to me. What about the Worm? We have to either guide it or carry it.

 

[Sherwood]

The skill swap is fine. You will have more chances to use Machine Lore than History.

 

[Purr]

Thank you! =)

Psychie Toni's possibly the best-equipped to carry it, you think?

 

[Purr]

Sherwood I'm a dingbat. Chaska already has Machine: Lore. This is what I get for having about 5 hours of sleep in the past 48. I'll find another Skill.

But first, I'm off for a nap. See for now, friends and fellow gamers! =)

 

[Sherwood]

Have a happy nappy!

 

[Purr]

It was nice. =)

Spoiler: The History Skill and a choice to make.

Ah. I see what I did with Chaska. Having History on top of Machine: Lore improves what one knows of The Machine's origin. Helps one figure out how The Machine thinks by way of what it has done in the past.

But thus far, I don't think this has been that kind of game. We haven't been faced with any of that before.

Sherwood, do you think I should keep the History skill or should I replace it?

(Sorry if I'm a bit loopy. Pardon any errors. I'm going on about 9 hours of sleep in the past 72.)

 

[Purr]

Psychie Hey! =) I am sorry, lady, but I have a minor problem with this. Help, please?

Spoiler

Before stepping off, Toni looks over at the team, saying, "Everyone, single file, five meter spread. Archos, you take the point. Out of all of us, you might have the best chance of getting to one of those tall buildings in a line of fire to the prison crawler, and can guide the rest of us with feedback from Alpha and Beta. Axel, take the second spot. Jin, take position number four and be ready with your sniper skills. Chaska and Woodstock, take up the rear and make sure we aren't being tailed or leaving a trail to be followed.

Reading this, It sounds like the whole marching order is completely Toni's idea. It isn't. It is Chaska's.

Having received yours and Eon's permission as Players, I was in the process of having Chaska relay it to Toni for her consideration when I read this.

That Toni just pops up and recommends Chaska's idea rubs me the wrong way. I appreciate you wanting to move the game along, but it makes me feel like Chaska shouldn't bring up ideas in-game although I am certain that's not what you mean.

Also, I might want to read this a year from now and I'll think the entire situation with inaccuracy. You know me - Details Matter. =)

Could I ask of you to please adjust your post? Maybe give credit where it's due instead of Toni taking the idea for her own? (Forgive me for my sensitivity on the matter. Real Life has been "interesting" the past 3 days and I am not recovered.)

Hope you're having a good day, Muppet Princess!

In my opinion, while Chaska isn’t dumb, he strikes me as not being book smart as much as he is street smart. I would think that a different skill could be appropriate.

I am sorry. I wasn’t trying to steal your thunder. I’ll edit my post.

 

[Sherwood]

celestialbody I know you are probably busy with the holidays, but are there any questions about the system I can help with?

 

[Purr]

Psychie It's all right! I never thought you were trying to do anything except for move our game along in an enjoyable manner - which you often do!

 

[Purr]

After listening to Chaska offering up his suggestion on the marching order, Toni thinks it over and nods in agreement. “I like it. Sounds like a good idea. Let’s do it.”

Beautiful! Now *this* is accurate! Thank you for taking the time, Psychie !

 

[Psychie]

You’re welcome, and again, sorry.

 

[celestialbody]

celestialbody I know you are probably busy with the holidays, but are there any questions about the system I can help with?

Sorry for being slow! Sister got sick yesterday and I had to do all the cooking and cleaning for Thanksgiving unexpectedly, then my other sister came down to visit today and stayed longer then planned, I'll try to hit you with some questions soon, I have been reading through the material just let me get a bit further in so I don't ask you anything I could of figured out by just reading a little further!

 

[Sherwood]

No worries! As I said, I had fully expected you to have your hands full with holiday stuff.

A quick note: you will start out at level five, do keep that in mind when you look over stuff. Also, once you make a decision on character class we can get your suit’s bio-e rolled so you can look at the upgrades and know what you can afford.

 

[Sherwood]

Were you still thinking of going with the Swarm Lord host armor?

 

[celestialbody]

Yeah, I do think I'll end up liking that best, as long as I'm still going to be allowed to choose that class!
