So, I was just doing a quick analysis of my team's strengths.

Georgia. Listener: ghost (mobility and mindscaping). Sneaky type, good for recon.
James. Grunt: assault rifle. Hiding, explosives, damage. Search and destroy, requires cover.
Roman. Grunt: shotgun. Sneaking, hand-to-hand. Close-quarters sneaking type, stealth missions.
Eira. Mech: medium, .50cal. Heavy damage, mobile jets, survival. Good for cover fire and support.
Matthew. Listener: ghost (mobility and melee). Runner, useful for recon.

We have three stealthies, a runner, and a cover fire. This could actually work! :D
By the way, I'm personally in favour of advancing into the fog to save the others, but I'm sure we can figure something out IC. I don't know if I'll get a post up tomorrow or late Staursay, but I'll be working on it. (My first post is often the one I put most thought into as I actually flesh out my character for the first time.)

Hey Holmishire. I have nothing for Stealth. At all. I have mobility and utility. Sooo... Yeah. Don't depend on me for -stealth-.

EDIT--

South-west is going to be hilarious to see interact... isn't it? xD

@Limey: At least both our mechs can operate for an increased duration within the hellfog due to our life-support systems.

I suppose this is the part where I totally don't mention that Tempest and I are doing a quick collaborative post.And that Morai reveals that some of the enemy wield chainswords .And you walked into that fog..


I've played a lot of Gears of War.

Bring it on you chainsaw wankers, I've got a big shotgun here just for you.

... What I can only assume as a better trained man with higher survival perks just walked out of the fog. Him and his sister both got ROFL-stomped by them. They had shotguns too. You are racing towards your death, my friend.

Perhaps, but my character has a shotgun, cqb, and adrenaline junkie.

I've put him in the best possible situation to do the most potential damage, this is where he excels if no where else.

He also has (provided he makes it to the wall) the best cover out of anyone in our squad, so it's literally just a case of shooting people with swords with a -shotgun-

I like those odds.

You're assuming they aren't brutes with super-thick skin and can sustain multiple shotgun blasts. Or rage-monsters that will continue fighting despite taking a shotgun blast to the face. Or stealth creatures you can't see. Or flying. Or super fast.

Going into the fog, its thick. Pea soup thick. You aren't seeing far. So you're going to have issues seeing people before they're in range to hurt you. And, ya know, there's also the chance that they have tech and/or natural skills to overcome the thing.

Oh, right, and there is the suggestion that they're either highly tactical if not outright psychic.

But ya know.

That whole rushing in thing because you believe that your abilities are effectively min-maxed in your favor. Always smart. *thumbs up*

You can keep telling me how stupid my decisions were based on your brilliant gift of foresight if you wish, it really makes no difference to me. I'm only working with the information my character has at the time, and standing around chatting when people are actually dying only a couple hundred feet in front of you is ridiculous at best.

It would also be completely out of character, and if you have to do that in order to 'win' then you've already missed the point, something I find a lot in Arena.

It's not a matter of winning or not. Its a matter of actually using your head, and your characters doing the same. You didn't have to talk to anyone. You couldn't have given your district. However, you just ran in, into the unknown and quite possibly alone. That would go against most peoples' training. And it gets a survivalist killed.

I'm not standing around chatting, I was getting information on what is inside to better prepare the cast for what may be to come. Information is power. So, while I know that there's people who are obviously insanely strong running about, swinging chainswords (an advanced technology that we don't have and implies strength given that its a Chain. Sword. That they are swinging. Around), you have no clue of what you are against, where you are going, what the environment and events are doing to the people who are dying and... oh, yeah, you're going to address to the "when people are actually dying only a couple hundred feet in front of you--" by... Adding yourself to that list of people?

I'm giving you insight on how this RP works.I'm not playing to win. I'm playing my character too. But I'm using my head, and implying that my character actually has some common sense or a semblance of a real IQ score. :3 But, ok. Your decision. I don't expect your person to live past a couple rounds.

Everything you've just said is completely invalidated by the fact that your character didn't even tell anyone over the comms what we're facing.

End of discussion, if it can even be called that.

Post actions versus time. Something we should be considering when we write our posts. I ended off that I finished one conversation. That took an entire round of my time. I haven't gotten anymore movement, I still have to make it to the apartments with Morai. I ran out of time.

Oh, and I couldn't clog up my radio line because I was waiting for morse from one of the mission targets. But then, I can't tell people who apparently ran into the fog. Cuz if you read my post, its got a jamming effect.

No, no. I like where this is going. Let me go grab a snack, and I can kick back and watch the brutish cock-sure CQC guy fight it out with a crazy woman who could most likely lay out of a 260 pound man in one punch.


I have no idea what you're talking about, but cool.

I dunno why people are worked up about, but here have a Legend of Zelda vid for some laughs and hopefully ease some of that tension.
