Hey think I fixed everything with my character sheet you wanted me to. It's the last post on the fourth page.

Would it be feasible/legal for mercenary groups to exist? I'm considering making my character a sort of merc for a group. For instance, they could have him complete a mission/collect loot, deliver the rewards to them, and receive a payment or commission.

That's certainly not impossible, but I don't see why anyone would do that. In a game that's not advantageous from the point of view of neither side. You can do that but probably no one will ever hire such services.

A way I see that it could work is that a client that wants a certain loot from a dungeon or mission is ill-fitted for it, would rather not risk it themselves or is simply preoccupied to do so hires this group of mercenaries. The negotiate on a first payment that could be either currency or items, and then on the rest of the loot of the dungeon, of which a large percentage goes to the mercenary group.

On the same vein, such mercenary groups could be hired for more malicious purposes, like taking out a certain player.

Your character is better now, however, there's still a small misunderstanding.

Stealth isn't a weapon/combat skill. You can't begin with it maxed for free. You just need to fix those skill points and she'll be good to go.

Sorry about that now it's fixed. Would have fixed it in the beginning if you had mentioned it on the list of things to fix. I also thought stealth counted as combat skill. So how exactly does stealth work? From your recent posts I gather it helps you go detected until you fire at someone. Also I have a question if this is how it works then does higher stealth make you go undetected again sooner? Also what are benefits of high stealth besides being able to sneak up on someone for lets say a sneak attack?

Aww. I'll keep this subbed.

Question: how 'gamey' do you expect posts in the IC to be? By that, I mean is it necessary to reference specific abilities/skills/in-game mechanics verbatim, or is it cool just to stick to free-form as normal?

Well, I was considering that extreme environments such as rain and freezing cold, or desert heat would also drain stamina.
-As would holding a pair of 20 pound firearms at-ready for prolonged periods.
-I was under the impression that she'd be detected if she fired under almost any circumstance, considering her loadout.
-The main point was she couldn't activate it while people are looking at her. [Mystery-Men: Mr. Invisible]

So those are agreeable.

-re-words weapon skills for machine-guns and grenade-launchers

-Working on sample-post (setting up an ambush in an alleyway), just as soon as I finished getting packed... kinda have ideas for remote-placed grenade launchers involving a slip-hitch and some rubber-bands...

Edit: sample post up. Usually my posts span 15 to 30 seconds of action each, the sample had to cover an entire 5 minute firefight.
~It is remarkable how much could happen in as little as fifteen seconds.

The first may work, but I still think that most players wouldn't bother to do that. They can always search for the same loot in the Black Market and it'll certainly come out cheaper than an on-demand service.

The second just doesn't make sense in a game where you can respawn after being killed and keep playing again at little to no penalty whatsoever. Unless you live on China and think that hiring digital hitmen is a wise way to get your son/daughter out of the game.

I see. On that note, how would guilds/clans be organized? Is it strictly limited to teams? I'd like to know because I imagine there'd be some sort of mega-group that trains/hires/fights en masse, using scale to its advantage.

@Sola I'm up for having a threeway trio of Kaida, Dokurohime, and Rewiew.

What did you imagine the general feel/pace/gunplay of the game to be like? Is it a rapid-pace shooter like Call of Duty or Titanfall, more deliberate and ponderous in the style of ARMA III, or something in-between?

I think something like this? If I'm remembering right, this RP was based on the latest SAO.
