[OOC] This Beautiful World: Beyond the Endless Horizon (Soft SciFi vs High Fantasy GATE-inspired RP) [DEAD]

[Nevix]

@ClocktowerEchos Oh, and uh YOU SMELL LIKE TOAST, NERD.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Y'all motherfuckers realize that you were supposed to put the insults in your CSs right?
^xP

[Nevix]

@ClocktowerEchos...oops

[Evil Snowman]

@ClocktowerEchos What?!?! I don't think you said that exactly. I'm sure the rules said insult you when our character is accepted and moved to the chara tab. Nothing about putting on/in the CS itself. Although as the GM your will is absolute so if it an order...

[Nevix]

It's in my CS, unlike @Evil Snowman, I didn't dissent.

LISTEN OBEY LISTEN OBEY LISTEN OBEY LISTEN OBEY

[SleepingSilence]

@ClocktowerEchos <3 Posted him in characters then. ^-^

[Nevix]

I might demote Edmund a bit. Or maybe I'll promote him. Either way we have four Corporals.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Evil SnowmanNever mind then, my bad.

@Nevix

Really tho, blind obedience is never a good thing.

[Damiann47]

So... when are we gonna get those fancy callsigns I was promised, it is something I strangely care about.

@Damiann47

Agreed, callsigns are badass.

[Evil Snowman]

Yes a victory for the little guy. Everyone party!!!! Still was half expecting you to change the rules ya know so no one would question your authoritah. Not that it's not absolute or anything.

@Nevix

Well after doing some research, it turns out there's a difference between radio name (what I thought callsigns were) and actual callsigns.

Radio names are things like Michael "Sweet Mikey" Jones and Alex "Bard" Jenkins.

Callsigns are much more formal and use the platoon name so say if the 1st recon was called "Checkmate", the leader would be "Checkmate 1 Actual" and the rest of you being Checkmate 2, Checkmate 3, Checkmate 4, etc.

It all depends on how serious/realistic you want the military aspect of it all you want it to be I guess.

@ClocktowerEchos

I'm cool either way. But if we go with the realistic callsigns, I call being 3.

[Damiann47]

@ClocktowerEchos Well, that's sort of what I expected, but yeah either way is fine just I do slightly prefer the more realistic way I suppose.

[Evil Snowman]

I'd be happy with either.

[ClocktowerEchos]

The only issue about using callsigns is that we'll have to come up with a name for the unit. Anyone got any ideas?

So far I have:

- Messiah
- Checkmate
- Explorer
- Regal

[Damiann47]

Hmm, maybe the name of a famous explorer? I'm assuming that's what the unit would be doing like a lot of scouting at least at first.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Damiann47 I was thinking of that, maybe something like Armstrong or something space related like that; can't see too many Terran explorers who are exactly nice people and have interesting enough names.

[Damiann47]

@ClocktowerEchos How many famous space explorers actually exist anyway? Gagarin after the first human in space is another idea.

[Evil Snowman]

Who said it had to be named after a person we've sent plenty of animals to space if you looking to base it off something historical

Laika, Belka and Strelka, are there that come to mind when the CCCP was trying to get into space
