Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I'm having big-time Internet access issues right now and a major free time problem to go with it. I hope to resolve this soon, but may not be very active in the meantime.

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

In re: my last post about pre-configured team arrangements, I'd like to see us figure out (as a group, not putting it all on Muldoon) a few theoretical strategic groupings, namely:

Stealth Mode:

Long-Range:

Flying:

Heavy Hitters:

I can put in my suggested line ups / team ups (ie Onyx / Osc / SunPhoenix are only flyers), but pairing teammates is good also b/c you can come up with power stunts like 'team moves', and so on.

Right now, even though the heroes are working a lot better as a team, we don't objectively seem like much of a team.

Maybe this needs it's own thread -- a STRATEGY / GAMEPLANS thread -- for 'in-character' strategy & planning?
OR
perhaps I'm over-reaching?

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I'm going to be a fairly erratic player for the next couple of months at the very least. If the GM wants to NPC Onyx or have him sit out the next mission, I fully understand.

What is the definition of "fairly erratic"?

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

It's either the opposite of unfairly erratic or the opposite of fairly stable, but this game doesn't have unicorns in the fairy stables, so I'm not sure why we brought it up.

I would assume he's meaning that you can't count on him to make more than maybe a single post a week... that would be what I would consider fairly erratic.

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I'm not going to have regular convenient Internet access during the summer. I will have my phone, but it is hard to post RPOL using a phone.

It is probably best just to put Onyx to the side until August at this point. I'm finding it hard to keep up with the discussions when I can only check in every several days. For instance, I know I've missed a ton of talk this last week.

Honestly not *really* a ton, just the debriefing which is fluff for the most part.

That being said I can put Onyx on the side or NPC him until August. I still have to figure out what the team is doing next...

True that -- but I do it frequently with Android.  Chrome seems to work best.

No, it's the usual rpol stuff, summer slower than others.

Eddy got up, and tossed the drawing pad and pencils casually on the table, as he headed for the fridge.

Just a thought -- if we are all in one room, but you're somewhere totally different, maybe post a location so someone can show up & give you hell (a la Vosper)..?  example:

LOUNGE
Poco scribbles a drawing and prepares a meal.

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I don't think he meant the fridge was in the same room, I think it was to indicate the single-mindedness of his quest for protein.
Of course, Nightmare wasn't paying attention, so I could be wrong.

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I have always assumed, and make posts based on that assumption, that there was a kitchenette facility in the Ready Room.

Either way, Eddy was draining during the Debreif.

He's tossed the picture somewhere, whether it be the ready room, or some other common/kitchenette area.

Re: Out of Character Thread; Version 3.0

I sincerely hope "draining" = drawing with a typo.

Otherwise, I don't want to know WHAT you were draining!!
