Something is missing. I earned a third 100xp during the second oath but it isn't recorded there. I forgot what it was for.

Im looking into. Sometimes I write myself notes I have decifer later. Or notes that magically disappear from my desk. Honestly, I cant remember what it was for either. I'll try and go back and weed through posts&PMs later.

Its a frying pan. But its also a force weapon.

[Ollumhammersong]

made a quick edit. All is well

Having just bought my first Cast Iron Skillet off of Amazon and caring for it like a newborn, I can tell you that they are worth their weight in gold (see: "iron"); it would make a VICIOUS force weapon. FORCE PAN - ACTIVATED.

Unc - I found it! Or remembered it! Or remembered finding it! "GM's choice" or something like that. I remember you and I had that romantic weekend at the spa and we told our women-folk we were going "hunting." Anyway, immediately after you decided to give me the GM's choice award. 100xp BAM.

[pearldrum1]

Also, I believe this time around my fan favorite vote is going to Mr.Uozu. Well done, bra.

[Uncle Mayhem]

Yeah it was totally cuz you gave me a broner. XP well earned.

[pearldrum1]

It's not my fault that we are just two good looking guys who both happen to be bromosexual when in Power Armor.

[Harbringer]

Imagine the satisfying clang you get when using the force skillet.

[pearldrum1]

520 years old? Why isn't this fucker a Chapter Master?!

[Endgame09]

EDIT: He dillies and dallies; procrastination is key. Plus, who's going to oust Marneus and his punchy-fists of glory? Not this guy! I'd rather shoot bolters and chew bubble-gum. I edited the original post to be a bit more vague about certain details Uncle wanted me to keep under wraps and also be more in line with realistic ages (he's in his 300's now). 500 something was stretching it for the Ultramarines considering good 'ole Chaplain Cassius is 400 something and calls Marneus a "young lad"....you'll have to forgive me, I've been an Eldar and Dark Angel player for most of my 40k career. XD

[pearldrum1]

I forgive you for the oversight, of course; it was, after all, a well written piece. As I understand it, things have changed considerably since the days of the Heresy and Astartes are no longer functionally immortal due to (mostly) geneseed degredation. The Blood Angels seem to be the longest lived on average.

But I will never forgive you for playing space elves. Never.

[Uncle Mayhem]

Ahhh...the final pawn is on the board...er...I mean...player has entered the game! Welcome Endgame09 & UnsafeNormal....I dunno why Im being so welcoming to you guys, I know you ;)

Looks like I got some work to do. In the next 36hrs keep an eye out for:
Character Sheets: Endgame09, UnsafeNormal
Righteous Indignation pt.2 IC&OOC: EVERYONE should read, RESPONCES from Arsefacetheugly, Omega, Harbringer, Ollumhammersong, mruozu, pearldrum1

Bahaha! Someone caught it! +1 to you sir!

[pearldrum1]

My vote goes to Endgame. Well written and engaging, some inconsitencies with fluff that have already been attributed to his affinity for the pointy ears.

But god damn that line about beating them all off was pure gold. I think Daelon and Endgame's PC will get along just fine hahaha.

[mruozu]

Vote for Oaths: pearldrum

Vote for new guys: Endgame

Well done, I enjoyed reading them a lot.

[Uncle Mayhem]

Working on post...would have had it up last night but apparently I have to "study" and do "homework"

Edit bump-
IC is up. OCC will be up this eveing.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION pt.2
((#1)) PC RP from Arsefacetheugly, Ollumhammersong, Omega, Harbringer, mruozu, pearldrum1:
Once you are aboard the Dawnstar you have an extended period of time in an enclosed space with your new brothers. This is an opportunity to get to know them. I want to avoid disrupting the flow of the narrative or anything getting lost or glanced over in the content. So, for now, lets keep converations/encounters between a maximum of 2 PCs, with the goal of keeping the conversational text limited to 1 paragraph per PC.
For example- In Arsefacetheugly's post he may want to ask a question to pearldrum1 as well as making an offhand comment to Harbringer. In his text he would commit 1 paragraph to the dialogue he would present to each of those players. In pearldrum1 and Harbringers post they would lead with the answer/responce to Arsefacetheugly's text, in addition to having the opportunity for 2 other optional dialogues.
You may also interact with Watch Captain McGarrack as one of your conversation encounters. If you chose to do this, pose your dialogue/actions/questiong to me through PM and I will respond with something appropriate for you to insert into your next IC post. Captain Kyros spends his time isolated in the cockpit, only speaking to reveal required vital information.
Let's avoid editing posts. Allow PCs the chance to respond before reposting. Remember the golden rule: you are in control of yourself.

((#2)) Endgame09, UnsafeNormal: Go back and edit/delete your last posts of OOC commentary. Finish flushing out whatever details through flashback while you stand at attention awaiting the arrival of the Thunderhawk.

((#3)) ALL PCs: Your IC posts should end with something along the lines of the following scene; The time in space, awaiting the arrival of the Righteous Indignation is spent in complete silence. All of the ships electronics shut down until it is time to land in the hanger bay. There are 2 other Deathwatch marines standing at attention, awaiting your arrival. You fall into an inspection line, standing at attention, awaiting your next orders. You are left to wait an uncomfortable ammount of time before the heavily shielded blast doors open and a new Astartes briskly approaches.

Questions? PM me.

Posting period before progression: 4/13/14-4/27/14
I am allowing some extra time for PC RP to develop and to account for the Easter holiday and any travel plans people may have. I look forward to seeing all of your posts.

There is nothing to respond to in reguards to the RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION TECHNICAL post. That is just some fluff for ya.
