[OOC] The War of the Three

[KoL]

By the way, Machina people, if no one does anything about the side mission given by Eris until around this weekend, I'm considering to retire it. I'll have a remainder of its importance on my next IC post but that will be the last one.

[The 42nd Gecko]

ALright, no more delays I'm gonna post the upgrade montage and the mission against heaven today.

~~

Marquis, better go snipe that target alone. :P

@The 42nd Gecko

As long as you know that this "mission" will fail epically because of Iona, you can go on with it. Just don't complain about the results when you fail to even cross the courtyard.

[KoL]

PS: But seriously, do that. I'm itching to use Iona for the first time ever. Just know that she's very unlikely to kill or let any of your characters commit suicide, so the next battle will have a serious handicap on the Demons side.

Maybe a certain King Ruffles will see that dissing Victoire was not a good idea at all.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@KoL ... I'm getting the sinking feeling I should just give up now.

@The 42nd Gecko

Perhaps for the sake of leaving the Demon faction with any players for the next round, you attack a settlement, and not the very seat of angelic power? Otherwise King Ruffles will have to represent his faction in place of his absent subordinates.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 And you don't think that would improve your chances of success?

All joking aside, I left it as a vague nonsense "Aurora Hall." If you guys want the mission to succeed, have that be in no man's land without any guard. If you want it to fail, have it be Iona's summer home. If you want it to depend on whether we do well or not, let a couple Angel players who want to and aren't on a mission (all of them, since they don't have anyone to rescue anymore) hop in.

@The 42nd Gecko

"Alright, if I was a betting woman, which I am, I'd bet the resources, or at least some of them, would be stored in this vault, underneath a cathedral manor thing, Aurora Hall, because half our fucking buildings in the capital are cathedral manor things

Judging by this, it seems likely to assume you intended the capital. Personally, this seems suicidal given KoL is eager for a curb stomp, but I won't stop you from shooting your own kneecaps if you leave it up to someone else to decide your target locale.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 It doesn't seem fair for me to set the opposition for our mission to be "entirely NPC's under my control." So, I'm putting the ball in your collective GM court.

Also, I could say some bullshit about "architecture being influenced by the capital" but yeah, apparently when I wrote that like two weeks ago, I thought attacking somewhere near the capital would be fine. I can remove that if you'd like.

[Lonewolf685]

No, no, I'm not trying to say you're doing anything wrong, but if you are putting this to the GMs court, the GM has already said they will screw you over.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 P.S. Trust me, removing Miyu from your chain of command before the next battle is going to be a big boon for you. Miyu/Balrog is a fun choice, but not an effective one.

[Lonewolf685]

@The 42nd Gecko

Having five demons captured by the Angels on the eve of the next round isn't effective either, since that leaves the Machina outnumbered 2 to 1 versus the Angels.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 Trust me, just pull Victoire out of the hound pit at the last minute, have her teleport to the objective, steal it, and teleport out. :P

Also, I count Four- Suprana, Henry, Balrog, Miyu. Three if Suprana doesn't join up.

(Yes, I'm still salty over something that happened before I even joined.)

Presuming Suprana doesn't come, that leaves your pool of potential combatants for the next battle at Suprana, Fran, Victoire, Sliske. That's not a bad team.

@The 42nd Gecko

You're assuming I'm going to let that happen. Which I'm not. In any case, shouldn't you discuss this with your fellow Demon players instead of putting the entire Faction on a suicide mission?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel The information of "Iona is waiting to fuck us all over harder than Fran" is information Miyu does not have access too in character. From her perspective, the plan is fine.

If someone wants to run in say "Hey, the plan is horrible, don't go." They're entirely free to. Hell, Ruffles could even do it. "Hey guys, you took to long, they've probably already used the resources, so never mind that, here's your objectives for the next real fight."

[Lonewolf685]

Suparna is going, and I was under the assumption Fran was too.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 She's not included in the plan, but she's welcome to come to the strategy meeting and volunteer her services. If Surprana wants to come, Miyu will be all the more confident that they can pull it off.

Miyu's currently of the opinion that her role as "Demonic Commander" is so much fluff in the wind without the respect of the demonic warriors. She's not, for example, going to try to recruit Sliske. So, she's not of the opinion she can just order a high ranking demon onto the team. She is assuming she can convince Balrog, because more fighting, and Henry, cause he wants to steal stuff back. And she was going to try for Suprana.

@The 42nd Gecko

Oh, no, you assume I'm going to let KoL commit a brazen act of OPness at all regardless of IC. Though ultimately, that all depends on the Demons getting their shit together and deciding what to do.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel I put out the strategy meeting post, so if they don't want to come, I can't force it any further than I have.

[Lonewolf685]

Alright, Rufus will post tomorrow afternoon. If nothing happens with the Machina or Demon side missions by, let's say 2PM EST, then Rufus is scrapping the Demon mission while Eos calls of her robots, and we can roll into the actual round.
