Sorry for the delay in getting the post up. I'll try and get it done tomorrow evening instead. Apologies for this unexpected delay.

No problem, I've also been working on getting a post out, but I've been busy...

err, gurjan is an isorlai? Also trying to be friendly... and I think you just got on his bad side.

Whoops.
I also forgot the mentions, fuck

You won't like his bad side (If I seem overly menacing, it's because I get really invested in characters... perhaps a bit overly so.à

Nah it's fine. I too am invested, but I do enjoy making sure they suffer some. I'm eager to see how this will resolve.

my guess? we're both going to face consequences, and I'm ok with that, because I feel like this conflict has some meaning, it's a side story at best, but still, story.@RainDash

We should put them in a big t-shirt called the 'get along shirt' for a week. And I agree, it's an interesting side story that could factor in a big way later, because there's animosity and if they were to say, have to work together to help their teammates it might not happen.
Plus I like negative relationships too, adds depth

Guys, I'm just going to point out - while you may have specific skills in your fighters, what they carry on their hardpoints into battle on a mission will be handled the same way as it is in the real world; you don't get to cherry-pick and choose what you fly equipped with. It depends what the mission we have handed to us is. You won't always fly with the same set up from mission to mission.

They're great, unless they're the only thing in a game, and we end up with everyone just squabbling and not getting anywhere. But that shouldn't be an issue.
And besides, there'd only be a certain amount of tolerance for it within the military too - if it got to the point where the unit was too dysfunctional to actually do any kind of work because none of us could stand to work together, then there'd be serious questions raised about it's ability and reliability to perform any kind of mission, and the appropriate punishments would be handed out (punishment details, removal of privileges, reassignment, etc).

Also, if none the characters could bear to work with people they didn't like, then none of them probably would have got through any kind of basic training, let alone becoming commissioned officers and then fighter pilots on top of that.

Working on a section for the opening post of the OOC with some more details about military life and organization and the IC post will follow soon after.

Hokay, post is up - mainly it's a short one addressing what's going on in the hangar bay to begin with. As soon as I get a reply, I'll also add mine with a bit more to go on for everyone else too. I'll have Erien also talk to Nyx separately too in another post :P

I've added a new link in the opening post of the OOC in the game information section which has a lot of background info on the kind of training fighter pilots undergo, the kind of missions they perform and what their day-to-day routine is. It's based heavily on modern-day fighters pilots for reference (as that's all we really have to go on!) and I've used links to assist where necessary. Hopefully that'll help with understanding how DefCom functions, and what our duties and way of life in character will be like, and the kind of things our characters should know about and be aware of in their role.

Made a post (and forgot to mention you in it)

Love the cheat sheet, makes things a little clearer.

Hey guys, lurker here. I'm honestly just popping in to make my appreciation for this RP known. You've got a very cool setting, keep a pretty consistent pace, and you're dealing with the little hangups like adults, which is something I wish I could say was common or unremarkable. It's been a very entertaining read so far and, well, I thought you'd all like to know that you have the approval of at least one complete stranger. Keep up the good work!

Man silver, the bushes outside your flat are roomy, might want to trim them down a bit.

I thrive on the appreciation of strangers, so thank you. May you be entertained with what's to come.

Hmm... it seems things became a bit slow... may inquire what people have been up to?

Sadly been a lot at work lately but I am gonna work on a post in a bit.

A combination of my artistic muse speaking to me for once, and taking care of day to day business. It's Friday tomorrow though, which gives me more time to do things. I should be able to get a post up with the extra time.

All the fun of college and pretty much just waiting on others.

that sounds accurate on my side.
