Are you talking about yourself, or your character?

That's him in real life. This is his justification that he knows what he's doing.

 

[tammynorthland]

If you wanna talk about shooting tombstone is a savage with a firearm. Hahahaha I mean I can shoot....not anywhere on the same realm of his shooting

 

[Archangel Emerz]

He doesn't need any justification. I believe him. However he could learn how to take a joke, as I pointed out previously it was just for a laugh.

I don't think he meant anything by it, just as you didn't.


He looks for the opportunity to show off his skills.





We're all happy to have a legit certified bad-ass around, haha.

Nah, this is only the second time I believe.


The first was when I did sort of what you did and questioned his characters skills for a young age as a joke.

[QUOTE="Jennifer Shotain]Okay, so I'm finally answering Kat's questions now.
1. How long shall this time skip be. I think a couple months would be fine. I don't think skipping winter altogether would be the way to go, maybe halfway into it. There needs to be a time skip, I just don't know if I want to skip over the entire winter. I think maybe two months would be a reasonable time, and a reasonable compromise for people who want to skip over winter in its entirety and people who don't want to.


2. What state should we be in? To me, moving further to the eastern coast only makes sense, as moving west is way farther away. I think everyone can agree on that. Now, do I think we should go straight across to, say, Pennsylvania or New Jersey? They would be the closest places to Ohio. I think if we skip two months, it might be a tad unrealistic to get all the way south so quick. I mean, we are injured, we need to go scavenge for gas and food and such so often. I mean, yeah, it doesn't take two months to move that far south when you have vehicle. But I don't see it happening so fast with our group in the current state it is. But, hey, I could be wrong. I think moving down south would be my favorite option, I just don't know if it is as practical or realistic as just going to Pennsylvania.


3. I have to agree with Crono. I feel like our characters don't necessarily have to say who the leader is, but I feel our characters look up to Holiday as if he were the leader. but on the other hand, I think Tammy's idea of being democratic and voting on who should lead the group is a good idea if it had to come down to that. It doesn't seem too natural to me, because I think our characters wouldn't really want to vote on this. But I mean, it is an idea.

[/QUOTE]
If I may add an opinion, a democracy would be the best idea in this situation, because I believe it gives everyone a chance to express their opinion on the subject and add their own ideas to it. And if you need a leader you might want to wait it out as I think none of our characters (yes including mine, he has psychological problems.) are fit to lead a group of survivors.

 

[tammynorthland]

I can agree there.


If holliday was leader I would see him writing more as a guidance counselor just sort of suggestions and directions of what may or may not work


Austin wouldn't be bad but like crino said before his persona on leadership

 

[Lola Shimmer]

I just realized none of us responded to poor @Dibbydoo forgive us!

I think some of our characters had leadership abilities, for example Austin was a firefighter and he's more mature than a few of us, Emerson was in the military and have some leadership ship skills but like I said due to his psychological problems he can't be the leader the group needs.

 

[Archangel Emerz]

[QUOTE="Jennifer Shotain]I can see your argument for the psychological issues. My character (especially now) is not for whatsoever for leading. I mean, to me, the character sheet kind of isn't the best at representing our characters from the beginning of the RP to now.

[/QUOTE]
Yeah like I said, maybe later we can decide on the leader.

[Tombstone]

Sorry that I wasn't online this morning. I was shooting my home club's annual tournament.


(I won by the way. Not just my division, I was the overall best. @Archangel Emerz. PS, I can take a joke but I really hate Carl. PSS I love correcting people who want their characters to be firearms master but don't know a damn thing. You have been warned.)


Here are my answers to the voting:

1. Personally I think we need to skip at least 3-4 months. That way certain characters can be somewhat back in action (Holliday will definitely need a chance to heal, Tori also). Besides, do you guys really want to have to deal with all the BS winter brings? At the very least it should be towards the end where the amount of snow has died down.
   
2. As @KathleneWilliams2121 mentioned, I think we should head south. I don't mean alabama or Mississippi mind you, I was thinking more along the lines of Kentucky or Tennessee. As far as how far we can travel, a person can easily walk 20 miles a day (10 hours walking at a 2mph pace). If we skip two months, and have traveled at this pace, we could cover 600 miles a month. This is in theory, and I only mention this to point out just how far we could go if we wanted. We have working vehicles, so then the previously mentioned method is just the bare bones minimum possibility. We could easily cover a sizable distance during this time, especially if we can find clear roads (and in this part of the country there are backroads galore.) The one way I don't want to go, however, is east. There are two many metropolitan cities that will be swarming with the dead
   
3. I volunteer as tribute. The old vote was so long ago it can't be considered relevant, the players have changed so much. I might have voted for Jen at one point, not anymore. Even if it's just someone that they all defer to, there has to be some sort of leader, someone to make a final decision. I personally think a Democracy would be the wrong move. It would just get complicated and lead us to dissent, or even worse a standstill.
   • Maybe it could be Holliday to start and someone else takes over afterwards.
     
   • My secondary pick would be Austin, but not because I favor him. I think he's just the least likely to get us all killed.

I ate 20 Hot Pockets and fought off an army of bees. You have been warned. PS I ask you to not be prideful with me. PSS Correcting me is fine I like learning new things but I honestly could care less if you won a shooting tournament, I'm here to have fun with fellow roleplayers, not seeing you gloat.

Do you plan on duel wielding those twin 1911'S?

 

[Archangel Emerz]

Do you plan on duel wielding those twin 1911'S?

Very little, and I do mean little. The second 1911 is primarily use as a back up just in case something went wrong. For example, if I'm surrounded and wasted one clip on one of my 1911 and don't have enough time to reload, I could quickly pull out my back up 1911 and use it save my ass. I'll only use dual wielding if I'm in a close quater area, i.e, a house. Other reason is for ease accessibility, which is why I put those two 1911 on my sides. And there's more reasons, but I feel I answer your question already in the first sentence, sorry for writing this much.

 

[Tombstone]

I'm typing on my phone so please bare with me.


I seriously wouldn't do it even then, especially if undead are the enemy. It's practically impossible to shoot those famed things like that. The only way it might work, is if it's within ten paces of a living target. Even the best wouldn't be able to pull off headshots.


As far as using it as a back up gun.....unless you don't need more than just a few extra shots I wouldn't go for it either. I understand 100 percent that there is no faster reload than a second weapon.....but there are a few things you need to remember. You won't be able to get rid of that first gun very quickly. Most speed holsters are only meant to be quick on the draw and sacrifice reloading entire. Hell all semi auto holsters are more or less like that. Now add on the fact you increase the length of the gun drastically with a silencer and that all of your focus will be on using the second pistol. Getting rid of the gun will be practically impossible without dropping it. Why is this important? Because wont be able to reload either if both hand are full.


But let's go more in depth. 1911's can only be carried with around in the chamber if the hammer is cocked. They are a single action pistol (I hope you know what that term means.) This


Basically means that one jolt could break the sear engagement and cause the damned thing to fire (While common, it does happen and don't count on the safeties helping this.) Chances are you will be doing a lot of running and jumping in a zombie apocalypse, so it's not the best way to carry it. The safest way would to be without a round in the chamber. Meaning you have to rack the slide in order to get it to fire. You can't rack it with another gun in another hand. Also the guns are built only for right side shooters. So you could work the mag release either. Plus


You would also be trying to use your weak hand unsupported at the most critical moment. Trust me when I say it won't work.


there is a lot more I could go on about and touch on but can't since I'm away from a proper keyboard. The point I'm makeing, you have the wrong setup. In your situation, just go for the mag reload. It literally takes 2 seconds (for me at least. I barely even practice that discipline.) Trying for a second gun (especially a 1911) would just over complicate things. If you still want to go that route try a double action pistol or revolver. Even then I'd still say no. The absolute best way would to just have a good tactical rig with several mags.


The reason I am getting into this is because for the most part were keeping to te realm of realism. We don't just want 20 doctors or tactical experts running around. This isn't a simple RP. We don't want the sole purpose of the RP being let's just go kill a bunch of crap. If you want your character to be an expert with firearms, then you should no a good deal about how to actually use them so it fits. If you don't know what you are doing then you shouldn't reall build a character around that.


@Archangel Emerz


For evryone here, I recommend watching some of the following video. This man, Jerry Miculek, is at the top of the shooting worlds A-list. Watch how he works, look at his techniques.
