who's in charge of the UNSC on the bridge anyway?

please, i want to post, but i want to get the right people in the places

[SurvivorX]

On the bridge you mean the structure across the lake that's not a bridge? Nobody, its NPCs. On the bridge of the ship, I believe its Elando.

[elando]

I dunno, I've not posted in a while. I'm prob with Rico organising shit because Rico is technically the CO since he's a Lieutenant

[llau]

Until I come in and RP...<_<

Not sure where I'm going to put Pierce in yet...any ideas are welcomed.

[This is llau by the way, but I'm playing as my human character. Llau doesn't feel like coming out to play with anyone yet. lol. ]

[SurvivorX]

For a bunch of people with little air and vehicle support, you guys are having an awefully easy time with those wraiths - they DO have SOME accuracy you know. Something about a AREA OF EFFECT WEAPON. You could at least lose a few NPCs - but I'm seeing quite a bit of godmodding. RPing that the enemy sucks horribly DOES count.

[maxii1]

AH, I GUESS THAT ME!
My pilot did take out 4 banshees, but really two crashed into each other (A Bit unlikely) and shot two because he had flanked them. And his Hornet has taken damage, lost it's radar.
But, It is a bit unlikely that no-one's been killed by the wraiths. Pvt. Dimitri has been injured by a blast and Reilly was knocked over, but I dunno.

I guess we don't want to throw fresh characters into the slaughterhouse, but then thats WAR!
Where's the Bombardment landing?
It was firing at the clearing infront of the Ship, to stop the small 12 man squad, which is such a small target, I can kinda' see how we only received injurys. BUT no one posted that the Wraith's changed their firing co-ordinates.
Which is stating the obvious I know, but we marines are having a tough time anyway.

But don't worry, I'm sure those Wraiths and those Seraphs are going to make up for the lack of death so far!
Also did the Crimson Morning have any Longswords?
It seems that we need the rest of the so far 'missing' crew to come to our rescue.
Because even if that pelican gunship, my hornet and some one else gets on the other one and had passengers using rockets, well we'd still be clowned. I mean that might just get rid of the Wraiths.
But that Covenant Air Support is going to be the death of us.

[caster]

I was unaware that anyone else was outside the cover of the ship in and around that location....Oh well, everything changed when Zuka started prodding at shit. I'm sure Zuka would agree with Maxii's words: He will be the death of them.

[maxii1]

What about a quick charge in the exact direction of 'away'?
Rico! Send your men with all the rescued gear into some vehicles or into Pelican F-753!
Also, Anyone else wanna jump into that other Hornet? What about one of those Unique Characters?
We Really do have no choice but too RUN!
Leave it too late and we're dead, Seriously! We have no 'real' assets in the air or elsewhere, just some fool-hardy fools!

[caster]

A way out for the humans, safe from the prying eyes of the Covenant is already there. If the powers that be have been paying attention to the entirety of the battle.

Also, I want to clarify any additional seraphs in the air are other squadrons. That squadron Zuka sent is there to bomb that ship into nothing. I don't imagine it would take long for six (well five now) seraphs to boil through a section of armor before working on the super-structure....

[maxii1]

Indeed, it's not going to be nice.
Seriously either flee in the vehicles mentioned or some 'convieniant' found ones.
And remember the Gear!

[SurvivorX]

If you guys were CLEVER, you'd hunker down in the tunnels and let us Covies bomb the ship into oblivion and let us think you all died.

[legion]

Anyone mind if I just jump into the RPG? I'll make it believable.

well if we just dissapeared, you guys would get suspicious and proably blow the entire center of the map to a large crater making sure that we wern't playing dead.

What would work better is if we have a pelican so we could give your bomb back in the middle of your fortress. A night run would work perfectly for that senario, when all you guys are in a false sense of pride and overenjoyment of killing the humans.

[maxii1]

Indeed, I'm waiting for someone to take charge on the ground.
And That Pelican? Well we have two confirmed, one recently fixed one waiting in the Pelican Bay and one in the air. And two Hornets, one in the air, one in the bay.

[Deleted]

wow that is fucking retarded. These fucks are destroying the wraiths like they were made of friggin toilet paper. I mean come on, they arent friggin retarded.I


IMA EAT ALL UR BABIES

like srsly I have practically lost the will to post. THIS IS MASS GODMODDING. U guys should have lost so many guys by now and I know of ONE GUY THAT HAS BEEN INJURED!!!

[caster]

In their defense the first one destroyed was plausible since they hadn't seen 'em coming yet. The others...Ehhhhh.

[SurvivorX]

Yeah, I have to agree with Mr. Prez. You guys are having wayyy too easy a time with these Wraiths. Clean it up, or the Covenant will decide they've been being too lenient and adjust the targets of their Seraph bombardments just a little bit...

BOOM! Rocks fall, everybody dies!

[maxii1]

Right, okay.
Lets put this in perspective a little, Connor and the rest onboard the Pelican are so far attackting the Wraiths, yet I haven't heard about any casualtys on either side from that.
I think that Dave's character was also deployed to the ground so, I dunno if it's down to Connor to add some realism.
My Hornet true, has i think fired at one, but thats it, so far.
And as for the Wraith's targetting well, most of the marine characters are spread so thin and randomly in the ship that it seems no one's been hit.
Which is stupid. I more than readily agree.
So then, we should have a section of the ship decimated by the Wraith Bombardment, such as the Cryo-tube sector or something?
Just means that the Covenant thought we had a spartan and to avoid it's deployment kept on firing at that location.

It's too late to go back and edit the last what? Three, Four pages. Casualty's should start occuring, but they should be plausable.
E.G the bombardment has weakened the ship's structure added to which the covie airstrike will DEFINATELY take down the ship.

[caster]

It's a large ship. I'm sure people will be climbing over bodies and wounded to evac the ship which will be going down.

[llau]

You guys should think Legendary mode when you guys are RPing. >_>

[caster]

I hate Legendary. I was thinking Normal.....Maybe Heroic....

[SurvivorX]

Yeah Heroic is the target.

But what's going on over there makes Easy look like a joke.

By the way, Llau, when are you gonna show up on AIM so we can do this thing up right?

[wtiger]

I really wish that Elando would come back so our characters can interact, i hate putting words in another players mouth

I dunno. I'm getting to the end of the quarter here at college, so I'm busy finishing things up so I'm on different times. Sometimes, not on aim at all.

I'm also working on my post to your reply...>_>...and it's probably going to be longish. When i have time to finish that, I'll post it.

[caster]

ShadowScarab really needs an update on what's going on....

Also, I'll adjust to Heroic. Since a few of my engagements have been....questionable....for Heroic level play.

[Deleted]

Caster I have to admit those cannons where clever and FUCKIN AWESOME. But seriously you guys should have been taking some deaths ever since you were trying to get the ship, now finishing with the hill pissy bit about godmodding and such, how may I use what is left of the wraiths to FUCKING OWN YOU ALL?!?!

I will find out, ima go back to bed cause its like 10:30 and I am rly tired, get back to this business tommorow.

[SurvivorX]

This is becoming ridiculous. I'm gonna have to delete some posts. Conner, there is NO WAY you can kill a ZEALOT with a handful of Magnum bullets. It would take two or more clips to manage something like that, even with the Halo 1 pistol.

[caster]

How should my characters been taking deaths? We snuck onto the ship through the northern pass after Renters fell through the snow pack because of all the gear he was carrying. Then we surprised a group of Covvies and took them out. Then we were inside the ship firing massive auto-cannon rounds at charging infantry....I don't see how I was exposed to to much danger other than the contact near the bomb.

Seriously thought, how did ShadowScarab walk up on the ship...Which is being charged by a shitload of infantry, to find some sleeping grunts and an unaware elite and just meander up to them?

I mean, I guess in all the confusion it would be possible. But the way it was posted he literally just waltzed in. I mean, if that's accepted then I know how Carson will be getting out. He'll just take a stroll right out the front door. Since the Covenant seem tired all the sudden...

I don't mean to come down on anyone, but someone with moderation powers (who is a leading this RP) should really try to guide him/her through some of their innitial posts...ya know?

Edit:

Also, Prez. You want those wraiths to own asshole....Then I would suggest finding a way to swat away the air cover. That's the biggest threat by a lot.

dood I was saying overall the marine forces should have been taking some losses, I mean jackals arent that completely retarded. So much for mah jokez >.> -Prez

[walancer]

The biggest problem with this kind of RPing is this kind of shit. No one has the same perception of the situation and therefore differing opinions emerge.

There needs to be a thread or something created to standardize what is happening. Make it one person so that person has the final say on what is really happening. Maybe even making a map with position markers of everyone.

[rico]

can someone bring me n hallam up to speed so we can post without it sounding stupid please thanks ^^
