No problems, I just hadn't had a need before now to clarify that in most communities you will not really need to watch your backs.

Today I helped a mature native lady, a government employee, to load the official van with training material for RCMP Officers in the interior. She was very grateful and gave me a big hug.

The timing couldn't be more perfect for this thread, eh!

Again, tough to make generalisations, but First Nations peoples tend to get along well with the Federal Government. The people natives have the most problems with are the provinces, with whom many bands are engaged in endless treaty negotiations. Not to mention local communities, who can sometimes show prejudice and/or compete with First Nations peoples for resources that the latter may believe to be rightfully theirs.

It wouldm't be fun if things can't be complicated:

The military personnel of course have military ID.

Taras would also have newly-issued official RCMP picture ID and a badge (metal shield in a leather wallet) with his number engraved on it. I am not sure if Taras is in uniform or not.

Hello,

Quick note, this weekend is my gaming club's annual con! I won't be able to post until Sunday or Monday, depending.

Gia and Michelle volunteered for registration:

Ourrah!!!

Always a great source of fun and a pleasure to have such great hosts.

Cheers!

Wow.  She's getting big.  Good thing she takes after her mom.

As a note, I will post to move the game along tomorrow or a little later. Currently, I am waiting to board a flight to Trinidad. Once I get settled in wifi won't be a problem!

And now for a little bit of Canadian pride while the Fleet Protection Group is mentioned:

I talked to Javier and while he's taking off on Sunday for a couple weeks in Espania he's going to post something to give the team direction while he's absent.

Great to see you back! How was Spain?

And please post as to where Taras wants the OP near the border.

Tony

In reply to helbent4 (msg # 493):

In true Canadian fashion, I'm going down to 'Murica for the weekend. Some friends' vacation property, probably no Internet. Gia is at the Canada Day celebrations with her grandparents, we will be picking her up and then fighting our way past the border.

Tony

How ironic, down with a cold.
HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Hello folks. I hope everybody agrees with the strategy. I'm sorry if this will railroad any player into an unwanted position but I'm trying to be flexible. Is just another ambush type based on a strong OP and mobile element. For that matter all the skill that you can bring to the battle, regardless of the initial position, is most welcome. Thank you and...

Happy hunting!

Taras, it's the nature of the military that you don't always pull the duty that you want! I have no complaints...

Very true. Unlike real life, I don't mind to OOC'd the issue to accommodate the fellow players, though. Is more fun that way!
