Ha!  Good point.

hahaha, lol

So can I recover?

Sure, fight over.

I'm waiting on Xy... :-)

Ah.  I thought we were jamming their frequencies specifically.

I thought so too... which was why we needed to isolate their signal by knowing 'when' they used their signal - which is why I took the shot for the team....

PS- Just be careful of the time frames guys.  Xy and I are looking a the corpses, Forim is leaving.  Roger is on top of the hill with the speeder.   Kraken... you've taken a long walk, been in the transport and looted corpses - so you're quite a bit ahead of everyone else in terms of time.   Anders, you've been in the transport and looted too so you're probably a bit ahead too though you're heading after Forim.

Let's see if the spot 'worked' - and please feel free to edit my post Mr GM :-)

I didn't come up with the locked grenades concept. It's in some Star Wars Source book I read a while ago. It's not actually a code, there's dials you twist in order to arm the grenade. Apparently every Stormtrooper has to have their code memorized because there's no backup.

yea, there was a great sourcebook for that :)

Stop agreeing with me, Forim.

Anyone who wants to pursue the sniper should make an Athletics check or, if you happen to be driving a Speeder Bike, planetary piloting. The difficulty is 1c 1s.

Your right, I should totally start calling you on your bs.  Sorry about that boss.  Wont hapen again.

In reply to Forim Luk (msg # 571):

[Private to Forim Luk:
Hey Forim, in my post before yours I posted climbing on the bike and taking cover, the sniper if he's hiding will put holes in us.
Unless he's running but since I didn't see him, I think he moved and hide.
The longer we stay, the more time Imps can close on our position.]

Anyone else going with Caddy?

It's ok :-)  I get to shoot them for desertion after the event *grins* :-)

Then again, if I die because they deserted, I guess they can make up the truth...! :-)

I laugh because when the leader runs off and no one follows, her plan is to shoot EVERYONE for desertion, not re-evaluate her plan or ability to lead because no one was willing to follow her.

As stated before, Xyklo is a bit overprotective. He is currently failing to keep up with Caddy...

Which is why I was smiling.... :-)

That said, on an OOC level, I am disappointed at the unwillingness to roleplay together given that the story is progressing towards a victory - a victory easily spotted by those on the hill with the speeder bike as the dust cloud is gone.  Am I that difficult a person to work with?

I am also struggling with the layout of the scene.  Comms are down as they are being suppressed (as clarified by the GM).   Forim'd left... but now he's back with the speeder and folk heard his orders despite him having already retreated and comms being down?  And folk missed the obvious pair rushing off from the ambush point?   Maybe a map would have helped a little to clarify the distances involved as I'm picturing the speeder being in visual range of the ambush point.

Anyway, as I've said before, if someone else wants to take the lead, please do so.  I play games to enjoy them, not to argue about who's go the biggest gun and knows best.   In my opinion any players plan is 'good enough' to make a story from - it doesn't need to be perfect.  It's meant to be fun.

Wow Xy.  with 4P 2B... that's like like rolling snake-eyes!

I like to call it seven headed hydras eyes ;)

That mags only been fired three times, where are you Rebels getting this stuff?

In reply to Caddanra 'Caddy' Manitu (msg # 578):

Without a map and without the GM stating 'Everyone hears Caddy's yell', we can only play what we think is realistic so we don't metagame.  I wanted to move and help take down the sniper but I also posted I moved away on the speeder.  GM posted something about the sniper moving around a corner, which I took as it block sight, so I took that as I couldn't see him or those chasing him as well.

Forim didn't see my post about me on the speeder, so my next post I attempted to combine his post and mine.  I take it as the the fog of war having its effect.  It happens in combat.

Makes sense, Kraken :-) Thanks for helping me there!

I gave orders when you were unconscious.  I repeated them when no one could hear me.

That said, I did move back to roger (and the not speeder) and said them again, but i posted the "uselessly" as I knew no one could hear me.

I also wanted to point out that the GM gave us this vicotry.  We did not win it.

Anders threw two grenades (which broke the rules) and then did 34 damage to everyone in the transport (which also broke the rules).  In an exasperated effort to try to not TPK us, he had the whole squad of stormtroopers walk into the speeder as it exploded (with rule breaking force).

You are not running to victory, you are running to your death, as the GM has now given us 3 instances in this encounter to retreat after he indicated that we could NOT win it.

So, when you say ANY player plan is good enough, I disagree.  Yours was suicidal and should have killed the whole party.  We are only alive now because the GM has fudged it.

Not to mention, we only got this far because the GM fudged the space combat when you ordered us to attack another squad of ties when 1 HP left on the ship.  Once again ignoring the hints that the GM is giving us that we cannot win the situation.

The only reason you are catching up to this guy, is again, the GM is fudging it.  You ran a kilometer through rough terrain in a mortally wounded state to catch up with a sniper.  Who could have killed you at any point in that kilometer long open terrain run.

And yes, I do plan to discuss this IC as soon as the combat situation has passed and the team regroups (provided that Xyklo and Caddy are still alive at that point)
