[OOC] GEARS - Mecha Sci-fi with Anthro characters. RP in a detailed, story-driven world.

[Slamurai]

@Silverwind BladeFor future reference, Hongli is his first name; Lang is his surname. I put them in reverse order in the CS since that's the way they're traditionally given in Asian countries, and the Principality is sort of modeled after an East Asian vibe.
It just caught my attention when Blade addressed everyone else by their surname as military formalities dictate.

Ah, right you are - I'll edit the post so that it's correct

[Dervish]

And there we are! Ross post up. I've been in a huge writing mood tonight, which is kind of awesome. :D

[Cartwright]

I'll post as soon as I can boss!

It was a very cool post :D Only minor thing I'd point out is that the Parvan's Claw is actually considerably smaller than regular military landcruisers.
Landcruisers are, of course, a very common and well-known thing in Arvaran society, and only come about due to the planets' unusual geology (and I totally didn't steal the idea from Heavy Gear). So while they'd have the impracticalities your character mentions in the post in our world, in the game world, they're actually a well-established factor in military - and civil - operations, and actually a vital part of both, due to the unreliability of long-range aerial transport for the same reasons that make the landcruisers practical.
Also, bear in mind that Arvarans as a whole species have also never known it to be any other way around, so it makes sense to them in that regard too...

Ahh! Your last post about the Claw being one of a kind and stupidly expensive through me for a loop. It's also entorely possible Ross has never seen a Landcruiser before up close like this. I can go around and edit it later. :)

It doesn't really come up very often, and I think it was mentioned only previously in one of the opening posts, so it's not surprising it wasn't obvious. I'm going to work up a profile for the Claw pre her current refit soon, so we should have more easily accesible info. I'll do some stats for a 'ship of the line' for the LDF as well, just to give an idea of what a comprable landcruiser is like as well.

Note to self: don't reply at 3 in the morning because you can't spell for shit. >.>

[Dervish]

Edited! Hope that helps alleviate your points, friendo!

[KaiserElectric]

*steals for BGM*

[KaiserElectric]

That's a good vibe. Also I will have stuff ready this weekend as well ^_^

[Cartwright]

Work called me in tonight. Waaaaaaaaah

[Dervish]

I am dying to read some posts! Also, as a head's up, I won't have internet all next week so I will be absent from posting until I'm all settled from the move.

[KaiserElectric]

I'll get something for you to read as soon as I can then ^_^

[Cartwright]

Almost home and will get to workin a postin

[Rhona W]

Just going to wait and see if anyone else crawls out of the woodwork to post before I get anything up in terms of replies.

[Slamurai]

I'm returning home tonight from a business trip; I may have a short post up soon, but its not imperative to wait for me if you have a reply to move us along.

I know everyone's going to be disappointed, and I'm sorry about that. But right now I'm just feeling pretty burned out and fed up with online forum-based RP altogether. I need to take a break for a while. And honestly, I think GEARs is kind of tired for me right now, and it needs to be put to bed for a while so I can just step away from things and concentrate on my other hobbies and interests for a while, and just do something else.

I'm sorry to anyone who's just joined especially; you didn't really have much of a chance to do anything. But honestly speaking, I feel like I've been running the game for everyone else rather than because I've been enjoying it for the last few months, and it's been a bit too dark, grim and miserable for me for a while anyway as well, and hasn't really gone as far as I would've liked in the year plus that it's been running.

Thanks to everyone who did join in and made the effort to keep it going. Again, sorry if you're all disappointed, but really I just don't want to do this any more. Every time I've looked at the site over the last week, it's felt like a chore to post anything or even open the thread, and I feel like I'm putting off things I'd much rather be doing to come onto the site.
