Ultimately, I'd say that it's up to KK, but personally speaking, I like that idea. Though I think getting hit more often than not would either be something fatal or at least enough to have your character drop out of the mission.


I don't know, having your character get hit in the arm, leg, or break a rib from a bullet stopped by body armor most likely will not be fatal or incapacitating, but would make an operation more complicated and interesting. We'll see if anyone decides to have this happen.

Well I'd say that with bullets, if someone is WIA on some CTRG operations, it may be a bit of a problem. Praetorian was selected specifically as he's highly trained in combat and is a combat medic- he can patch someone up to get through the fight, or at least survive for a while until proper medical treatment can be given. Considering that plate carriers that CTRG use (the Heavy ones are predominantly Dragonskin-based composite, and the Light are a lighter, advanced kevlar/ceramic composite) could probably stop a couple of bullets, along with the fact that even a certain type of helmet could stop a 5.56 in the right circumstances (note- anyone not using a plate carrier, using say a chest rig is at a huge mobility advantage since they carry the same amount of mags but don't get burdened down with a vest). But say if you were shot in the leg, or the arm, that would cripple you operationally, though since CTRG mostly has SF operators, switching to a sidearm or weapon replacement (ie. using a lighter weapon (such as replacing an LMG for a smaller carbine) could work too, with a bit of treatment (ie. extracting the shrapnel and sealing the wound along with a set of painkillers among other things keeping Praetorian and wounded back for a temporary while before moving up on the fight). KIA only will occur if I want it to, or if someone isn't posting- though I avoid the latter lately, and only do it once or twice if needed. I've killed almost an entire team before, and it's grizzly. Since multiple characters may come up for different people, it may be a more expendable way of viewing your characters in certain slots, and death by your choice can occur (so long as it's sensical/plausible). Wounds can occur for sure, and it's a good idea keeping an eye out- I would say it's up to the player to decide what their wound is (if any), but I don't want people getting shot left right and centre- I'll kill characters as needed.

Also, I'm slowly filling in SSgt Patterson's role, since I'm bored. You may see more of him, and possibly later, you may end up in his team too.

It's fine- anyway, I'll post tonight since it's been a little stagnant. If you're behind on posts, just post up quickly again and just straddle- I won't do that huge a jump, but I want to get us to the fray quick.

Hey all.

Sorry to say this as I know it's inconvenient and perhaps disheartening for all of you but I have decided to, at least temporarily, drop online roleplay. I just find too much of my time (posting or otherwise) is spent on roleplay when I really need to focus on getting my real life in order. Some of you may know I am unemployed at the moment but in truth it is more than just the job that needs fixing. I'm at a metaphorical crossroads and I need to decide on a direction to take in life and drive for it, no distractions.

Once again I'm sorry. I'm grateful to all of you and deeply apologetic for the inconvenience my leaving might cause. I must've been with the guild almost a year (perhaps longer) now and I've gotta say, I'll miss it.

Thank you all. For everything.

Hailfire.

P.S. Do with my characters as you wish. Fade them into the background, play them, kill them dramatically for the good of the roleplay. Whatever you need to do, I trust you to determine what is best. I did love my characters...

I'll figure something out Hailfire- don't worry about that. Anyway, that leaves Mischief as 2nd in command, and I think this RP may thin out soonish to a concentrated group, so we may have to figure soemthing out. It's a shame man- I really saw you cared for the RP, and wanted in on this, but if you can't bring yourself to it, that's absolutely fine.

Athena's rank was changed to warrant officer, which I believe (in the U.S. military at least) outranks Staff Sergeant.

Was it? Oh, in that case, she'll be second-in-command- I'll add you Hellhound. I just posted up and you lads can now too, I think Athena will take Bravo 2 as a sub-sect fireteam inside Husky. I don't make weaknesses prominent in characters (my belief being that you don't usually notice it in people until you see them for a very extended period of time), not sure what you guys think on that.

That certainly catapulted the action, I dig it though. Also I'm going to let our squad leader dictate who we see and how we handle the problem.

I really am sorry. You are 100% right in that I really wanted to/want to participate in what you are making here. Just to be sure things haven't been confused. It is not this roleplay exclusively that I am dropping. I am taking an "extended/indefinite hiatus" from roleplay to focus on the more important tasks I need to tackle in real life. As much as I enjoyed roleplay I found I sunk far too much time into it, even when I wasn't posting. I fully intend to return sometime though. Maybe not soon but sometime. Once again. Thanks for everything. :)

Crap, you're going to find out all the places I found to sneak in naps during my internship, that one time I nearly broke an A4 Skyhawk's starboard slat and me wondering whether the Ministry of Defense forgot about me because goddammit, I want my enlistment date. XD

In other words, I'm the last person to look for if you're after Singaporean secrets. =P

Posted since Rare hasn't got a post up in a while, we're rolling out again. And yeah, a bit of engagement- for now, just a three man patrol for Bravo 2, and the thing I led up to at the end is on Queen's go.
