[OOC] R.A.T.S. - Rapid Assault Tactical Squad - 1 Slot Open

[Genni]

If I can't post in the next couple of days you can auto pilot Vaerin. Currently trying to organize personal affairs at the moment.

@Shadowman215

Is there anything specific you'd like Void to be doing, or should he just auto-attack random targets?

@Genni

I think he wanted his character to auto-attack. Also, when's the next turn coming? It's been 2 days since the current turn started, and if I remember correctly, the rules said a new turn starts after all the players make a move or 2 day pass.

[Shadowman215]

If void is on auto pilot he would be more so defending allies than attacking, but I should have a post up later so...No worries

<Snipped quote by General Scales>
I wouldn't worry too much, it's not like they're armed with RPGs or anything...

Umm... did anyone check whether they were armed with RPGs at all?

@Genni

Recruits anyone for your gang (ps2)
R2, R2, R2, X, L2, L1, R2, L1, down, X

after activating this code, get a weapon that you can lock on to pedestrains, motorcyists (person driving a motorcycle), or biycist(pedestrain riding a biycle) then press "up" then the person you recruit will automatically recieve a rocket launcher(dumb-fire), unless they have a weapon of thier own.

@knighthawk

I'm surprised no-one's noticed all the potential recruits in the street below. They're still very thankful for not getting killed.

[rush99999]

Hey @Genni. When's the next turn coming up?

Hey @Genni. When's the next turn coming up?

@rush99999

Now!

Damn, there's a lot of people in play at the moment. It's getting tricky keeping track of everyone. Luckily the status effect system seems to be working well to keep track of who has what happening to them and when though.

[Leolycan]

Will be posting after work today (5pm cst)

[rush99999]

Why am I still disorientated? Everyone else has recovered.

[Genni]

@rush99999

Rocksmith moved first on the turn when the flash bang was set off, so he hasn't spent two turns disorientated yet. Since the others all acted after Brick set the grenade off they've completed their two turns with the status effect already.

Rocksmith won't be disorientated on the current turn though, since it'll clear at the beginning of the round.

We need to take out Thrash before her Crescendo gets any more powerful. I've knocked her Defence down to 4 now, but she'll only be that weak for a couple of rounds and I need to regain Energy before being able to sting her again.

Since Discord was protected against ranged attacks I'd expect at least one of Thrash's traits would protect her from melee attacks somehow, since that's the way @Genni usually works things like this. If everyone who can hit with a ranged attack targets her now we might be able to stop the music before it gets any worse.

@SimplyJohn

You have no idea how right you are.

[Genni]

@rush99999

Unless he's totally wrong and both girls had extra defence against ranged attacks, in which case that tactic will really screw you over and leave you at the 'mercy' of the cheer squad.

[SimplyJohn]

@Behemoth542

Okay, here's something a little tricky. It's going to take two rounds for Bumblebee to power up enough to use her stingers again, but if Sigma uses Incendiary Rounds next turn Bumblebee could use her blasters to charge the robot up with her energy-based attack, letting him unleash a devastating fire-boosted Bullet Barrage like he did in the previous engagement to take down the SWAT Officer.

It would mean that Sigma would take 3 Health loss and possibly be Shocked, weakening his Defence, but it should be enough to wipe out most of the Cheerleaders and take a good chunk of health off of Thrash, especially if @GodOfWar Heretic uses Minor Mutation after Bumblebee's attack to help boost Sigma's Attack on top of the boost you'll be getting from @rush99999 Rocksmith's We Will Rock You.

@Shadowman215

Would Void Prison be able to stop Thrash from being able to keep playing? We only need a couple of turns respite to be able to strike back against her.

@General Scales

Could you keep forming TK Barriers around the team, so we don't have to worry too much about the Cheerleaders while we concentrate on taking Thrash down?

I don't think the one around Thrash is going to be much good since her ability isn't a standard attack so I expect @Genni will still be able to cause Health damage on us even with the barrier in place.

@KabenSaal

Good move with the Resting. Any chance of giving Thrash the double header in the next round? You should be able to weaken her Defence a little more as well as causing a good chunk of damage to her at the same time, preparing the way for Sigma's alpha strike.

[Genni]

@Behemoth542

@SimplyJohn

That wouldn't work. By the time you get to that round Thrash's Crescendo will be reducing both Sigma's Defence and Bumblebee's Attack by 4 points each. Even with the Void Sphere's extra 3 Defence to soak up the Energy you wouldn't be able to generate enough power with your attacks to give him the charge it'd need for the Bullet Barrage.

And just for the record, if you did use Sting Like A Bee on Sigma it would become Shocked just like any other target.

[SimplyJohn]

...you wouldn't be able to generate enough power with your attacks to give him the charge it'd need for the Bullet Barrage.

@Genni

In that case, if @GodOfWar Heretic uses Minor Mutation before Bumblebee uses her stingers we should be able to use the Attack boost to increase the power generated, giving Sigma the Energy he needs to take out the Cheerleaders.

@SimplyJohn

What you're basically saying is that the Cheerleaders should target Bumblebee with all their attacks in the next round while she's vulnerable on the ground, before she has a chance to recover her Energy to set your little plan in motion then?

Would Void Prison be able to stop Thrash from being able to keep playing?

@SimplyJohn

No, the Immobilised status effect would prevent Thrash from moving away from her drumkit, but wouldn't stop her from being able to play it while trapped in the prison.

@Genni

If we could get Thrash away from her drumkit, with a TK push or body slam or something similar, and then trap her with the Void Prison, would she be able to summon her drumsticks again like she did before?

@SimplyJohn

Yes, because... *bullshitbullshitbullshit* ...magic!

[knighthawk]

How would one establish a grapple and what would the benefits be?
@Genni
Don't forget you can join the military and get shot at 18 as well.
