I don't have an issue with Her Majesty's Canadian Ship Gander. Often times NATO allies will integrate their ships into US fleets for Joint operations. It appears plausible for a Canadian ship to be with an American Task Force. I added HMCS Gander to the Fleet formation in the hider and my initial post in the IC thread. I asked Queen Raidne for a mission. I don't want to make any assumptions about where she wanted to go with this. This Task Force is a bit overpowered for a simple Pirate op. This BAMF is rigged for a beach assault.

Alright, I've edited Skye's age, she's now 36 :l

Navassa Island is ready to blow capital ships away with cheap gunfire support.

My internet is back! They dug a great big hole, mucked about for a bit, and then fixed whatever was wrong. That was fun. I'll trawl the OOC for any outstanding issues/ship applications, then I'll post the mission orders in the IC and the mission plan/plot in the OOC.

Reminds me of a story about Armenia where a lady digging for scrap metal severed the cable that delivered Internet to the whole country. They fixed it in a similar manner.

[Queen Raidne]

I think I've heard about that one before. The fact that the internet comes into a country (and across continents) in one giant super-long cable is terrifying to think about. I'm just glad I can keep watching Lost Girl. Oh, and I guess this place is pretty cool, too.
~o~0~o~
I'll post the mission profile after I post in the IC. I may end up editing this post to add it (I hate double posting for arbitrary reasons).

TheFake: As I pointed out here, I've closed the RP (it's also on the first OOC post). However, there are a couple people who haven't posted for a while and might have abandoned the thread (I've sent them PM's). They likely haven't and are just waiting for IC things to happen, but if they have abandoned the thread, then I'll let you in. I'll PM you if that's the case. Sorry.

That being said, your ship is accepted, so if we do have a drop, then you're in.

Sylpheed: Accepted! Thanks for the fix.

What's more terrifying about mer hayrenik is the perpetual war with Azerbaijan and the terrible economy and politics. It's so sad to see my ethnic fatherland be like this.

I've still got to get a JFK post up, but I decided to go ahead and post the mission briefing, since I have to actually create the crew bios and weaponry and aircraft complement for her. Assume that the captain of the JFK has passed on the orders to the rest of the fleet, and that we've got at least three days worth of travel time (in game) to Baker island.

---

Behind-the-scenes mission briefing:

This mission is quite literally what it appears to be on the surface. No twists, no secret troops, nothing. Baker island has bunkers, miscellaneous buildings, and a fuel depot, all empty, all recently constructed for this exercise. The most difficult part will be sorting out who is in command of the fleet - something I've left purposefully ambiguous because I think it's more interesting this way. Other than that, it's a simple little introduction to the RP.

[TheEvanCat]

I have a post in the works. Sorta.

[Queen Raidne]

Are we waiting for me to post? Is that the main bottleneck right now? How can I help?

I'm not waiting for you, but I'm busy and I have only a quarter of a post done.

[DeltaWing222]

Edited and finished :D

Let me know if I missed something! Some little character information will be found out later rest assured.

Edit: Let me know ASAP please so I can work on getting a post up. K thanks :P

Also

Tis Bueno

I am ready to get a post up in the IC :D

Feels like this is dying :l

Agreed. I think I just don't have the time to GM this. So we should start looking for someone else. Gunther has my plot, but he may not want to become head GM. Until that happens, however, I'll keep going. A radical alternative might be a GMless game? I could just post my plot for you guys and then let you have at it. I'm not sure how well that'd work without someone to arbitrate disputes, etc.

Anyway, my vote's Gunther.

[TheEvanCat]

I did a thing.

A GMless game can tend to go astray from the plot, so a GM would be needed. Unless this were a RP about randomness, then it wouldn't matter XD

Also, might want to check Delta's sheet, since he edited it :P

[Queen Raidne]

Delta: I love how your XO could be a Russian spy. Accepted!

[TheFake]

Hey Queen Raidne, any replies from those MIA players? I'd be glad to join and get things moving somewhat.

[DeltaWing222]

Yay I'm accepted! I'll work on getting a post up asap :)

Seems a bit lacking now that I've seen TheEvanCat's post but I will beef it up a bit.
