Can someone get me up to date? I might post if I am .-.

I've missed a good bit.

Cradle HQ was raided, moderately unsuccessful. Lost two of our FRAMES and one pilot critically injured. At least they failed to achieve their primary objective and had to settle for a secondary. However we failed to identify our opponent.

Timeskip to one month later when our wounded pilot wakes up from their coma.

[WilsonTurner]

Oh okay.

After reading The [absolutely fucking amazing and awesome] Hunt for Red October, I have also decided that we need more stealth systems, and sound sensors. Sit in total camouflage, so camouflaged that you can't even see via regular sensors, but listen. Unless it's a busy place or something, you could just sit there and listen for the thumps of footsteps, the motors, the engines, the exhausts.

mhm.

FM-modulated radar, listening to the Doppler-shift of moving things.

@WilsonTurner

So did I because of my sudden unplanned absence but I did read up to it and posted something that I still doubt for it's quality.

but I have to agree:

we need more stealth systems, and sound sensors.

@WilsonTurner

even though I'd think Ed would just stick to the more active role rather than sit cloaked up in wait for ambush.

Can't wait to see if some neat tech happened to come our way in the last month.

[DarkStar]

I think @Aristo has abandonded us.....

Sad face.

[WilsonTurner]

@DarkStar
It certainly is a shame when a GM, the one who started the entire thing, refuses to answer. Disappointing.

[DarkStar]

Let's give him a day or two more. He's never been like this on any other roleplay I've seen him in. Then we can discuss continuing.

Lets get cracking on how to exact revenge during our next mission, ye?

Darkstar, two of our characters are checking in on yours. The others are likely doing stuff in the mech-bay trying to fix or mod the frames so such a fiasco won't happen again.

OOCly, feel super-free to submit ideas for tech for Ari to review when they get back.
-In the meantime peer-review will be enough to iron-out details of what we want to use and when.

Just because your squad-leader is absent does not give you permission to sit on your ass.

Sorry, I don't usually raise my hashtag-capslocks, but it sort of looks like nobody feels like advancing the story anymore.

And on the third day he rose again, in accordance with the Guild.

I sincerely apologize for my absence for the past week. Honestly, I don't have the same amount of time to work on the Guild as I used to, before starting my job. I appreciate you guys sticking around for as long as you have; I know we've lost a chunk of our roster since the beginning, which has put me in an odd sort of place for thinking of our next move.

With many of our original pilots gone, and with lack of a proper explanation IC, I've been pondering the idea of a reboot. As you know, Sarah's in critical condition, and the last mission went over our heads and Cradle ended up losing its asset. A reboot could easily skip us ahead - Sarah will be in fighting shape again, old members can be chalked up as MIA, dead, or on leave, and the new ones could be additions picked up in-between then and now. It seems like an optimal time to hit the reset button, and I'm hoping that this will get our activity back up.

The idea is the Panthers have become a disgraced unit since their failure at Cradle, and have had a string of bad luck since then. They struggle to find steady work, taking what errands they can to sustain themselves from client to client. But along the way, they will come face-to-face with the consequences of Cradle's research, and be forced into a conflict that they had a hand in starting.

Thoughts?

You just described a timeskip, not a reboot.

[Slamurai]

@Foster

It will be a timeskip within a reboot; a 'hard reset' of the game. New players can join, the roster will be reset, the building mechanics may change, etc. Basically, it'll be a new chapter in the overarching story to get the setting up and running again and move things along.

So regardless of whatever you want to call it, your thoughts?

@Aristo

So Timeskip In universe / IC and a Reboot of the RP?
That would probably work seeing how the things have gone.

I'll say I don't really mind the setting and I don't mean that in the bad way, it's just about execution but I trust you.

On completely different note, I got into Front Mission 3 a little lately, clocking some 5 hours in though.

[DarkStar]

YAY

But I at least wanna be able to do a paragraph in old IC and then do what needs done. It might be nice to have a little phonecall from daddy. Desperate times xD

[DarkStar]

NVM.

Two weeks is becoming too long....

[DarkStar]

Alrighty. As it looks no one else is going to I'll make the post.

:/

[WilsonTurner]

@Aristo
So where is this reboot you promised?
Was it a false promise or what?

[DarkStar]

Aristo is a false prophet.

ALL HAIL GABE NEWELL!

xD
