@Etherean Fire

Fair is fair, Luigi's actually pretty fast and you can bet he is going to give chase.

@Holy Soldier

Just saying this here, but Guile is being an unreasonable asshole and it's looking like he's trying to blame Luigi for his own failures. For example, Luigi wasn't in charge of the operation; He was in charge of a team that Mario wasn't on, but he wasn't in overall command. Now if he's being credited with being mission leader after the fact because he came back with most of his team intact for political reasons (IE, needing someone to blame) that's a completely dick move on Guile's part.

@Bright_OpsYes he was. Luigi took over the Squad Leader position from Edward Buck. As the Squad Leader, Luigi was responsible for all teams. You can reference this OOC post: here where I introduced the roles and their responsibilities. When a team dropped in morale, it was the Squad Leaders job to send reinforcements to bolster the team that was weak. Because you never did this, as a consequence, I let the game play out and whatever happened was going to happen. In the end, even though it was negative. It made for some good storyline meat.

Also looking back at that post, seeing how I don't see your "Like," tells me you never read that post. It was very important and I told everyone to Like the post after they have read it so I would know they had read it.

@Holy Soldier

No I did not, I guess I must have missed it.

At any rate, how would Luigi have known to send reinforcements when he had no contact with the other teams? Even if they could contact him, considering the fights with Oswald and Brigan he couldn't break up his team anyway.

Edit: At any rate, I thought I was a team leader.

@Bright_OpsAt the beginning of the mission everyone had communication with each other through comms. Over the duration of the mission, you guys decided that communications didn't exist anymore. Or possibly one person decided it and you all followed along when you all had comms the entire time. This was another consequence that I wasn't going to mention and just rolled along with it.

If the mission had been Alpha level, then I might had pointed out every single mistake you guys made in order to keep you guys reading the GM posts correctly and not letting one person's misunderstanding throw the entire game. But you see now how it is very important that people improve their Reading Comprehension especially for Charlie to Delta missions because I will not be pointing out errors unless they're so bad that I have to for the sake of plot continuation.

Also, I am very certain you knew back then when Squad Leader command was given to your character. You just forgot over time or because you didn't read that post you didn't know how a Squad Leader was different from the Team Leaders.

@Holy Soldier

...Honestly I just thought it was different names for the same position. At no point did I believe I was leading the whole operation, just my team.

Still... I think I'm going to play this as no one informing Luigi that he had taken over the whole operation instead of just his team when Buck (the guy who was meant to be leading both) failed to appear. Miscommunication playing hell in the field and all that.

So I almost have the Smash event created. I'm just putting out that I have changed my mind about resurrection items. Since I believe the Smash Event is going to take just as long as the missions (or maybe faster since less people to wait on), I will allow characters to be able to achieve resurrection items: 1) in Smash Events (if and when they're offered) and 2) Delta-level missions. I want people to work for them and not get them easily.

@Holy Soldier@Bright_Ops

I'll freely admit that, having taken off in the heat of the moment, I initially forgot until after the mission was over that Fox has a means of communicating with some of the other team members, and after looking at Erion map, I retroactively assumed that they would have been out of range anyways, so in part, that's probably my bad as well.

Edit: A shame I mention it now, because I had an idea stirring in my head for the impending chase scene where Fox has his headset in compact form ready to throw on for a neat little "visual" effect as well as for practicality's sake, but now I'm wondering if this discussion compromises my chance to do that without it feeling more like a convenient asspull. It's whatever, either way. Maybe I'll just flip for it. Lol.

Everyone pay close attention to this post. This link I am putting up is for the Smash Arena, which takes place in the Arena Roleplay section. The link is linking you to the IC, so do not post OOC comments in the IC please. Now, if your characters are:

Fox
Bartz
Luigi
Samus
Naija
Steve
James
Slayer
Jack
Shantae
Cloud

Then you are all the people who have told me in a timely manner that you were interested in participating in the Smash Arena. You can reference the Smash Arena IC to find out who you are matched with. Because we had an odd number of participants, I had to open the Survivor match-up. Any questions you have about the Smash Arena, will be asked in the Smash Arena OOC. Not here. You will not clutter this game up with questions concerning another event. What happens in the Smash, stays in the Smash. If you have read this post, then please like it so I know you did. This is mostly for those whose characters are participating in the Smash event.

Now, you do NOT have to transfer your character CSes over. The reason why is because I may use that same thread again and again and again for every time we have a Smash Event. So there's no point in there being CSes from characters old, new, or those not even participating that month, cluttering it up. I am going to count this Smash Arena as Smash April since April isn't over yet.

Oooh yes. I have decided of how Bartz' mimicry works:

He can just magically learn one move when he leveled up and limit it like Pokemon. Only six moves or if he wanted to make new mimicry move he need to forget a move. 'Cause that was what in the game he came from.

Example: "Cyclone Whip" Crash Bandicoot's Cyclone Spin + Shantae's Hair Whip. The damage is up to Bartz' stats.

and about Sans- I decided to make him like a 1k HP character instead of just 1 HP.

@WingsOfBronzeHow come you aren't playing Bartz's mimicry the way it really is? Also, in Dissidia if that's what you're basing it on, he can take on whatever job classes from his game. His Blue Magic consisted of moves from enemies from his game and not from other characters. It just doesn't seem feasible to say you're going to copy every single characters' powers in existence when it's out of his character to do so. The copy ability requires the Blue Mage to take damage in order to gain the skill. If your character dies, he won't be revived unless one of the characters has a revival item and seeing as they are hard to get, why would you have your character risk his life?

You also don't need to give Sans an HP bar because he would be the only character in this game with one. As a GM, if I want a character to take damage, I just make them take damage (only if it is logical - some people think they're invincible), so you don't have to worry about that. I only said you can't make him have 1 HP because he could die any second if you do that.

@Holy Soldier

Thanks for the help, Sans won't have one hp: problem solved.

As for Bartz, I want to make his mimicry special, so I want to try a way to do so. But if that can't be I can just take his mimicry attacks from Dissidia as he levels up- and the attacks came from different people and the way how he did it was a sparring course with the characters. (I played a scene where Bartz fought against Laguna Loire to copy his Ragnarok Blade attack so I assumed that's how he did it.) In FFVI, a playable blue mage can copy the spells/attacks of enemy characters just by watching it and calling it Lores, like pictomancy and rage.

@WingsOfBronzeBut you're using the character from his game. I don't care what other Final Fantasy's can do. If that was the case, then I might as well make a horrible OC of Cloud and Tifa's child and say he has the technique of every Dissidia character because they're all his mentors. Stick to FF5 or Dissidia, but not other games because that just defeats the purpose.

@Holy Soldier

Thanks for lending your time. I'm sticking to Dissidia.

I'm adding Sans to the Smash and Spyro's world and switching Bartz to Kirby's World if you allow.

@WingsOfBronzeI won't allow Sans being added to Smash because I've already set up the Smash event so it's too late for any stragglers.

I will allow the switch for Sans to go Spyro and Bartz Kirby.

@Lmpkio@Hylozoist@Bright_Ops@DracoLunaris@Lugubrious@ToadRopes@Zarkun@Guardian Angel Haruki@WingsOfBronze@RokkuHoshi@Crosswire@Nerevarine@Etherean Fire

These are the remaining characters who still need to be assigned to Alpha missions. If they aren't assigned to the list, then I'm not even going to "assume," they just won't be going.

Raziel
Knuckles
Banjo Kazooie

I'm going to give Hylozoist a month to get back to us before I drop her/him in the inactives. He/she was seen 3 days ago so it's not that big of an absence.

@Holy SoldierRight. Unless something changes beforehand, I guess I'll just have Banjo default to Kirby. It looks like they'll need the help.

@Holy Soldier If you're alright with me starting 2 new characters at once, I could send Raziel to Kirby's world. I was gonna start with just Steve in Spyro's and have Raziel jump in for the next mission. Which would you prefer?

@RokkuHoshiI know the question's not directed at me, but I'm pretty sure you can run both characters on their separate missions. Bronze is doing that with both of his characters, so I assume it's permitted.

@Etherean Fire That's not exactly what I was asking. I was going to wait until the next mission to introduce Raziel.

@RokkuHoshiOh. Right. Misread the question. Lol. In that case, my guess is he'll probably just leave that up to you, but we'll see what he says. While I'm at it...

@Holy SoldierDo excuse my eager tendencies to answer questions in your absence. Not trying to GM for you. Just trying to provide expedient answers and help out to the best of my ability. I hope it's not overbearing at all. I'll ease off, if so.
