Yeah they did come accross each other, though Gaston butted in and didn't let them talk. Heh...after that Keller once interrupted him at the party and then Pickering caught his attention. Martin feels quite sad for not being able to meet the Queen and compliment her. :) :)

 

And Pickers I'm not sure. Just wait a bit and we'll see if he notices your post :)

Why would green have a friendly go at jasper?

He's drunk, he's rowdy, he's in like company, and Jasper's a cynical ex-sniper whose comments might be taken as fighting talk. That is unless Green is too drunk to recognize sarcasm. I'm just looking for one last round before the bar closes.

 

I'm also looking at how to describe the reaction of a roomful of elite/veteran servicemen to a handful of firecrackers going off... and afterwards, especially if there's any clue as to who did it.

Yeah I guess the scientists will be busy these next few weeks but not get much finished for a while... A rowdy Green.. Could be interesting... Well my guys are still there if anyone needs them for anything. I want to take Trigger away somewhere soon though.

Vet, do you want Trigger before the party's over? Can Gia follow - or can it wait until the next day? Edit- sorted by PM.

 

Hankosha, "distinct advantage"? Don't try to tell us you have a boobytrap in your room. Your roommate would be very annoyed. :hmmm: Your character's not in serious trouble here - at least not if you let him get caught instead of fighting back! Xcom's about teamwork but you're writing about an unstoppable hero of an entirely different story!

 

Thanks for sorting out exactly when those flashes went off but it really screwed up my post. I had it figured out how to make everyone just friends. :)

 

Edit: Opinons please. Should Hankosha have left his post the way it was? Or should I go back and write something that matches the new post? Hankosha, please leave a message here about where you think your character is going. - JFG

Hankosha? I think it would be good if you could get your post back to how it was... :) Sorry to be a pain in the arse, but with JFish's last post it sat better how it was!

With regards to the first UFO it doesn't really matter but I'll post the interception if I can...

Who's gonna post the first alien post?

 

My opinion (ahem):

 

Chapter 1 should END with the end of the New Year's celebrations, could the moderators (Tammy or Vet) please make sure "****END OF CHAPTER ONE****" appears somewhere?

 

Chapter 2 can begin with "***Chapter Two***" and the first UFO radar contact. I pictured this as using Doppler radar - we don't get much of a reflected radar signature, but we can track the atmospheric disturbance pattern and put a few craft in the air to get a visual. Note this doesn't have to be Jan 1st exactly, we can allow for a time lapse. Note also I am promoting the ROE "Do not fire until fired upon" until we get a better idea of the nature of the enemy and their missions. Eg. UN will approve going in with weapons free once we uncover a verified slaughter at a landing site.

 

This might not be the question you're asking but I don't think I'll have any posts at all from the alien's point of view. Maybe someone is dying to use an alien conversation as ominous foreshadowing. But there's other ways to do it. We could leave the aliens as complete unknowns - other than what we discover or observe. Or receive psionically.

The aliens should be kept totally removed and without character or personality. They are to all intents and purposes mindless soldier drones... I doubt they are completely without personality but that's definitely how they should be addressed. :alien2:

That's certainly not how I view them in the game. The only ones without personality are the Mutons, and that's because they're mindless bodies being controlled remotely by Ethereals.

 

Look at it, aliens panic or go beserk when there morale drops. That's not the action of a drone. Drones keep fighting until they die, regardless of casualties.

Yeah I agree with that. I just mean that they aren't the kind of races to give a damn what happens in the end. I mean, can you imagine seeing an ethereal kneeling over a dying sectoid and supporting their head? They're all just soldiers and in that respect they are mindless... Clearly they aren't completely brainless or they would never do anything at all... That's my point though...

Two options from me... If you want it back quickly then Rick could pick it up. He's siting right next to it after all... If you want it to be more of a problem then Trigger could get hold of it, probably from Rick... He's going away for a while soon so you'd be screwed for a bit. Speak your mind!

*reads fan fic*

 

Nor did they notice the blue dragon charm that had fallen out in the scuffle and slid across the floor to Poison's feet.

^ from jfg's post on page 6.

 

perhaps poison should?

Well, by my last post I've set the thing up for either:

 

A) A verbal confrontation between Green and Terrick

 

or

 

B) A brawl. :)

 

One of you choose whichever you would like more to implement and don't worry it's not neccessary for JFG to do it, though it would be good if he has some more time. :) (B post B post B!!! :devil: )
