OOC Thread Episode IV: A New Hope

[Soulstep]

Hey, quick question, are we allowed to keep our old squad names (Such as Indigo squad for me), or are we all calling ourselves by the numbers? Its just '2nd Squad, 2nd Platoon, 1st Company' is a bit of a mouthful ^^

[serenissima]

They'd be nicknames rather than official designations.

[Soulstep]

Yeah, thats all I was really wondering

[Bippwatt]

I am very confused now. Why am I suddenly changing ships? My marines are assigned to UNSCS Courage Under Fire (Tellos' PC).

I get why those who don't have a ship would go to this landing craft, but I already do.

I mean, if we WANT to give the Covenant a open invitation to board our ships, that's different. But I can't see the logical, military reason to shift around everyone's setup to do this.

I don't know. Maybe I am just crazy. I'll go change my post.

EDIT: Completely disregard. Missed Seren's post. I got it now.

[abroad]

Alternatively, all Permanently Shipboard Marine Companies are now NPC.

All Marines are now the kind that go down to planets.

[Bippwatt]

Thanks, but no thanks! I think I'll be keeping my first character until he dies or I do. Whichever comes first.

Thanks for all the great work, guys! I'm sure I'll be shuffled off as the lousiest RPer, compared to you guys!

[Soulstep]

We'll see Bipp, we'll see

Will any Marine squads have access to Warthogs upon touchdown?

[abroad]

Loadouts will be adressed in briefings.

Bippwatt, you have a SNIPER TEAM, they are inherently involved in drop operations on the planet NOT SHIP TO SHIP ACTION.

Get your arse to the Ground Forces Organisation topic and sign your snipers.

There is no choice in this.

[serenissima]

You could get rid of the characters, but that would defeat your point.

[Dufflepud]

If the covenant's fate has been decided, then where's the thread? I'm not trying to be rude or annoying, I'm just curious (and a bit anxious). Also, thanks you for letting the players decide!

[abroad]

As the person who is responsible for writing the thread, my girlfriend is visiting me this weekend, there will be a delay.

Unless Seren chooses to write it.

There isn't going to be a single thread going 'and suddenly they joined the humans' the fate has been decided, when it is enacted, not so much.

[Jakob]

Didn't you say you had it typed up?

[abroad]

Nope.

[serenissima]

We know how it's going to happen over the course of the mission. It's not all going to happen in one post.

[Soulstep]

Guys, it would be a good idea to keep me in the dark too, in case I let anything slip by mistake XD

Though I'm assuming there will be a nice big brawl before the team up?

[Bippwatt]

So....Cabel. Have you been touched by His Noodley Appendage?

Anyway, awesome Intro so far! I like it a lot! I think others do too!
*pauses for expected cheering*
Keep up the great work, guys! Roleplay like you never have before!

Oh, and spread the Starchy Word of the Spaghetti Monster!

[Cabel]

No, I haven't been touched by it. I only thought it would be amusing to include, but thank you.

[tellos]

so what we placing betso n here? Covvie win somehow or a UNSC major victory?

[Bippwatt]

My bet is on us fighting until some other enemy shows up, which we wind up having to team up for. But we all have to fall back and defeat them some other time. Just my bet. Much like Fred and George Weasly's bet on the Quittich Cup....Hair brained and nearly impossible.

[SuperCommando]

Oh, please. No offense, but the sheer unoriginality of that cliché is just painful.

[Dutch]

I'm with Commando,introducing a whole new enemy tough enough to make both Covvie and UNSC buddy up would not only be a hell for the staff to make such a threat, unless we use the flood. And let's face it, a I don't know how many people want a fight against the flood.

[Soulstep]

It would be cool to start off with, but since most of the NPCs would be dead and floodified within a page, it would be pretty hard to get anyone alive out of it with the numbers we're bringing.

[darkfire27983]

What Commando says, there is more then one way to skin a grunt.

[tellos]

I just am hoping whatever they do it'll be good. remember they already said it is NOT flood. So whatever force this is already is nasty.

[hollowsaber]

All I gotta say is hope to god it isn't a horde of pissed off women with Frying pans.

[serenissima]

And I did also specify that it is not an addition to the canon of something outside.

[hollowsaber]

IT'S AN INVASION OF GRUNTS!! ...IT'S THE GRUNTPOCALYPSE!

[Killer Frog]

Isn't it obvious? We're goon to fight the Pfhor! Dun dun dun

[hollowsaber]

It's still halo related Frog..
