[OOC] Across Broken Skies [Ace Combat inspired RP]

[Skythikon]

Well, better than having intact bombs detonated on land. It'll still do damage, but simply not as bad.

I'm trying to paint Everett and Zola as 'loose cannons' - the sort who are good at what they do, but needs to be reined in because they do things on their own way without feeling the need to inform anyone else. Could have Ariella chewing them out for not informing anyone about their plan and not allowing the people on the ground to take cover in time. [/shrug]

OKAY, another IC post up, moving us along. One bad guy left to take down, and then we can move on to a bit of IC interaction and get an idea of what's going on from here, and a bit more into the plot, rather than just randomly shooting things down. In other news, there's a few people who haven't posted for ages in character. If they don't post by Wednesday, I'll be removing a few people from the character list.

Sauron's in Berlin or something, he posted about it before.

Yep, the post's just a page back:

Sauron The Dark Lord said
I'll go to Berlin tomorrow for a week, then an additional week in London after that.

[Rhona W]

Well, he's exempt then. But I'll see who else crops up or not.

I'll do my best to get a post up o 3o
I tend to lose track of time though

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I just arrived in England.

[Rafale]

Argh, I come back from losing internet for a week and now there's no more bogeys to shoot down, thus eliminating the idea I had for a post.
I may just quit at this point. With the distractions, inability to access the internet and exams and so everything I missed, I just can't really do a post that's worthwhile. Even in story terms, if I did bring Nate into the RP, what'd I say? That his plane had some problems on takeoff, despite the first post in the battle referring to him as if he was still flying? I really like your RP's, Silver, I really wanted to get into this, and we have a great cast here, but as it stands, I don't think Nate coming into the RP like this would be best, if at all.

Anyway, if I do end up dropping this, you'll know why. I would really prefer not to, but as things currently are, I can't find much motivation to post.

[Rhona W]

I think quitting is a bit dramatic, especially since you're so interested in getting into the RP.

Just ignore the earlier post; it's hardly the first time that something RL has affected an RP. It's kind of the nature of the thing.
If I'd had to explain every time someone had dropped out or disappeared mid-mission (or even mid-scene...!) in Thunderbolt Black, the RP I run by e-mail elsewhere, the game would've exploded through being clunky by now.

Instead, it's far easier just to narratively roll with it and just gloss over it and move on. It's just how things need to be done to keep things moving sometimes, even if it doesn't make as much sense.

Your character can always easily join in when we arrive aboard the carrier instead, as that would make more sense for a fresh start, than dithering and trying to find a weak explanation for why they disappeared halfway through a battle. Better to have them turn up with a stronger entrance later on instead.

Alternatively PM me if you'd like to discuss a better entrance or idea for your character.
I'm extremely reluctant to lose you, as your original RP was why I started this one in the first place, and I'd much rather keep you aboard than have you drop out for what what seems like a silly reason, considering you WANT TO PLAY.

And yeah, Sauron - I actually forgot that you were traveling around and about at the moment - Mateotis reminded me!
I hope you enjoy your visit to the UK!

[Rhona W]

Post up, woo!

I'll get another one up shortly too, after a short space for replies. We'll be relocating to the carrier, and then toward our next mission after a short period of downtime where our characters can actually get to know one another.

[Rafale]

I'll have my character relocate to the character as everyone else does. I'll be sure to give some good explanation for why he ended up joining late too!

[Rhona W]

Well, when I make a post regarding the relocation, there may well be some info in that could help!
*strokes beard* mwahahaha

[Rafale]

Whatever you think is best, pal. I finally got myself out of my rut regarding this RP, so here's to hoping I'll actually be able to do stuff in the future! :)

[Rhona W]

Well, it won't be too long - I only aim to leave it about 48 hours before I stick up another post to move things on!

[Driving Park]

:D

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

It's quite the blast, I wanted to visit the new Carrier, but my parent's didn't want to, lol.
I'll fly back in two days and possibly work on my new post the day after that, if that's all well and good?

[Rhona W]

Well, the new aircraft carrier is all the way somewhere in Scotland, and it hasn't even finished being built yet, so you didn't miss much!

And regarding the posts, that's fine.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Oh well, it would've still been fun seeing the gargantuan.

[Rhona W]

If any of you are wanting to post, get 'em up quick - I'll make another IC post tomorrow to move us on quickly, rather than keep things hanging around.

[Skythikon]

I'll wait for your next post. Not much to add on my end.

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

I think I'll have to respectfully resign from this RP. Nothing bad towards any of you, however it's that I've simply just lost interest whilst I was travelling, I'm greatly sorry.
