[Raven_Operative]

Alright, it's the weekend. How's everyone doing?

[Zarkun]

Still alive, if a might bogged down. Slowly piecing together a post as time permits.. I think another role call is in order though.

Ask and you shall recieve, Zark. Who's still here? Yeah I know some of you just posted, I just went down the CS list.

[Little_ninja]

I will get a post around probably tomorrow
Although, to be honest, no idea what has really been happening, going to base it off Zarkun's most recent post

@Little_ninja

We had a timeskip to the last major fight our squad will be involved in. If you read my latest post, that should fill you in on just about everything you need to know.

Um is there any way a total new person to the game can join? If not, is there any videos recommended to watch to figure out how the game logic works and such? I've seen the game a few times before but never fully understood it.

Well, first rule of thumb to keep in mind when role playing is lore>game mechanics. Nothing you'd see movement or firing wise in a game video would apply here. Also, we're coming up on a good spot for a new person to join, aren't we @Raven_Operative?

[cloudystar]

Gotcha gotcha, but anything top-heavy besides game mechanics since well...I'm not really that educated in the lore nor backstory and such of the game. That includes RP elements at the moment ^^'

Yo fool =w=

@cloudystar

Uuuuh, I have no issues with you joining but you'll probably be 100% lost if you don't know at least a BIT of the lore. I'd recommend you take a look at this page: http://valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/Valkyria_Chronicles

And maybe watch a playthrough on youtube up till the end of chapter 4, just to get an idea of what's been going on in the world. That's about where we are in the 'official timeline', though keep in mind we are mostly doing our own thing. You'll definitely want to at least see the intro cutscene, just to have an idea about the background of the setting.

If you're still interested after reading through some of that, let me know. We'll figure out a place to drop your character in. After what happened with skeptic a while ago, I think I'll just end up having your character be an unannounced member of one of the fireteams. That way you dont have to wait a month until we manage to write our way back to base.

@Raven_Operative
lololol, cool thanks. I'll watch shadowchaos or something, those guys are pretty good at anime strategy games. And thanks! Any recommended classes?

@cloudystar

We're sticking to the classes from the first game, with hybrid classes splashed in there to allow people to do more than one thing.

We actually have a decent split of classes right now, so you can really pick what ever.

I just wouldn't suggest you pick sniper unless you're OK with writing posts that have minimal input from the other players. As a frontline soldier, players can interact with you, but if you're a sniper hiding in the back you'll be responsible for 90% of the events you write about in your post. Some players have a problem with that but if you're fine with it, it's all cool.

[cloudystar]

lol why responsible for so many events? then again, snipers anywhere are quite vital in most situations...

@cloudystar

Ack, just forget I said anything. My meaning was unclear, and I'm having difficulty figuring out ways to clarify it.

[cloudystar]

lolol, alright boss sir. I'll try and post a sheet up once i get a better knowledge which will probably be tomorrow XD if i have no work to do tonight.

@cloudystar

It should be noted that the role of sniper in this RP is cursed. Any one who joins and starts as one tends to quit...

[cloudystar]

lol now you made me very curious...

[CitrusArms]

Yeah, I'm here. Uninspired, I guess. Uhg.

[cloudystar]

@CirusArvennicus
lol how's the sniper life?

@cloudystar

Oh he's not the sniper. We had one, and before we even finished the first actual battle, they'd left.
