[OOC] Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

[Lennon79]

I hate hangovers.
The skirmish will start tomorrow; anyone not paired up will be arbitrarily assigned by the Sergeant.

[Bright_Ops]

A system that I've seen done before was that if anyone went inactive for a long period of time without warning or explanation, their characters would go to the GM and would normally be killed off to A) Help hammer home the point that this was a life or death situation and B) To make room for new characters/active players.

Just a thought.

I'll also do a bit of a character sheet for NPC Captain Alexander. Just encase you feel like using him for something down the line. I'll write it up sometime tomorrow.

[caliban22]

Some one feel free to pair up with me. To hung over to think.

[Raven_Operative]

I think the 18th is like... the universally least productive day of work in the year.

RIP everyone's livers. Get well soon.

@Bright_Ops

It's a system I considered and it definitely suits the plot, but last time I tried that in a thread, people got upset and left in droves. I might consider it as a way of removing characters when I know for certain that they aren't coming back, but otherwise I'll stick to transferring them out of the unit; shellshock is a valid excuse. If he's an NPC, just give me a paragraph about him with a picture, same as Meulemann. This is the same with all (long lasting) NPCs and you're all allowed to make as many as you want.
I will probably kill them though. Eventually.

I don't break laws o 3o
No drinking for a bit for me.

[Lennon79]

I only break laws when I'm drinking.
Probably shouldn't be so proud of that.

Name: Vincent Alexander
Gender: Male
Age: Early 50's (But looks late thirties/early forties)
Appearance: Written description and/or picture

Rank: Captain
Class:Shock trooper/Field Medic(Engineer)

Personality: Pragmatic and calculating, Captain Alexander has seen war before and experienced it from both the front lines and the officers desk. Unlike many other army officers, Captain Alexander seems to treat the militia with the same respect as he would normal members of the army; Before he joined the army Vincent Alexander had been a noble born training to be a doctor when war was declared and he was conscripted into the militia. While he started off as a field medic, Alexander would later join the army proper as a shock trooper.

Vincent Alexander is a man that is not afraid to spend men if that is what it takes to win. He is however not one to waste them either; Plans that require more or less throwing a squad into the meat grinder will only be considered if it really is the best way to end the battle with minimum casualties. Even then, the squad will be equipped as properly as can be so that they have a shot of surviving the meat grinder.

While not a political man, Vincent does understand how the game works; While he largely leaves the petty power plays and useless pandering well enough alone, he will play the game for the greater good of the nation when the situation arises.

[Lennon79]

Looks good. Anything else to add? If not I'll add him to the NPC roster. Don't post him on the CHAR section, I'll deal with that. All NPCs will go in their own hiders on the first post of the CHAR tab, just like Meulemann.

Hey @Lennon79! You got featured!

Know its 3 days old, but still. Pretty cool.

[Lennon79]

Scratch that, we did.
That would explain the increased traffic we've had recently although I have no idea how I missed the notification...

[caliban22]

Second ever RP I've been in, in my time with RPG, to be mentioned on some sort of community list. First one was back on the Old Guild o 3o

Side note. I'll get a IC post up tomorrow. Mom's birthday today :3.

[Raven_Operative]

I'll try to get a post up tonight, been running around all day doing volunteer stuff.

Edit: NVM. Too damn tired. Sorry.

Happy birthday mooooooom!!!!!

[Kitsune]

Wooo! ^^

[Lennon79]

So... Any life?
I might have to skip some of the practice battle to get Trinais and Bright involved at this rate.

[Bright_Ops]

Do I foresee that the battle was lost because various members of the squad simply just didn't have their head in the game for whatever reason?

[Raven_Operative]

Sorry about taking so long, guys. Life sorta happened there.

Honestly, though, it probably would not be a bad idea to skip part of the battle, if only because its not really fun to keep people waiting.

[Lennon79]

If there isn't significant postage by Wednesday evening GMT, I'll pull an intervention to skip the whole damn thing; it was part of my backup plot anyway, so it won't break the flow too much,
