[OOC] Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

[Lennon79]

Fina was sent back to base, so we may have to retcon it and just have her resurface after being very, very quiet. Caliban's old characters are returning, but they've been out of the squad for weeks in game, whereas Fina has only been absent for a day or so.

[Zarkun]

I think a retcon can work well.

[Raven_Operative]

I'll get a post up tonight or tomorrow. Finally managed to clear a little bit of spare time.

EDIT: Also, I concure. Retconning would be the quickest way to let Finna back into the squad. Having people getting ferried back and fourth from base constantly is a little unlikely for a scout unit.

[AtomicNut]

Need to catch up. Don't mind if I take a while. Hmm...

[Lennon79]

No rush. Honestly, not a lot has happened.
Are you also interested in playing your Imperial character?

[AtomicNut]

Might be. You need the shirtless Fhiraldian?

[Lennon79]

Up to you. A tank needs a driver.

[Raven_Operative]

I'll write up a post for Evan later on.

[Slypheed]

And I'll get a post up in the next 24 hours.

Is the gunner seat elevated enough to give the gunner a full 360 view, or is it like a slot made to defend from one side?

[Raven_Operative]

If memory serves, the 'gunner seat' is just basically standing next to the big recoilless rifle we've got mounted on a swivel. So your head would be poking out the top of the APC and you'd have a 360 degree view.


^ this is similar to what our APC looks like, just replace the machine gun with a RR mounted like so:

[AtomicNut]

Gack...so many new posts... and they keep up piling...

[Raven_Operative]

There is no salvation. There is no stopping the RP train.

[Slypheed]

I'll work a Skye section in later.

Though I will say Brenna just sat by quietly, mainly staring at her gun.

[Raven_Operative]

You know how in Dark/Demons Souls, people would leave messages outside the harder/more infamous boss fights thats said "The true Dark/Demons Souls begins here."?

Well someone should have left a note outside my Analysis and Design of Algorithms classroom that said "The true computational science degree begins here.", because holy fuck these algorithms are getting weeeiiirrd. Needless to say I might not get a chance to post much for the next week or so.

[Slypheed]

@Raven_OperativeI never saw such notes. Always saw "Praise the sun!" (and ALL CAPS variants) along with random non-sense.

Then again, I played for all of 4 hours before I said "If I wanted a dying simulator, I'd have gotten Verdun. At least there I can also develop a tiny case of PTSD. Along with me crying for my mom in a trench."

[AtomicNut]

Alas, I am terribly sorry to disappoint, but count me out. RL has caught with me before i could catch with this rp.

[Lennon79]

Oh.
Well shit.
Fair enough, happens to the best of us. I'll leave the retcon in, use Fina as an NPC for the meantime.

[AtomicNut]

No seriously, in less than 48h i gotta do a job interview, then an exam, and then do a 4 hour lecture. I'll be lucky if by the end of the week my EEG is not flat.

[Lennon79]

RIP AtomicNut 2015
Then again, I've had two shifts at work, three exams and one essay that I've just handed in, all within 48 hours. It's doable, with a sufficient amount of coffee.
