The Battle for Astrea II [Always Open]

I'm in Santa Cruz for a week with limited computer use, so probably don't expect too much from me

@Diggerton

Alrighty then.

Truth. I would answer 'variable' in any case. Its really just a matter of opinion at this point because it comes down to, "Hey which movie did you like Godzilla most in?" The only shaky answer is 1997 Zilla, because that ain't Goji.

In terms of Kaiju, I like Hedorah more tho.

@Horrid

I really liked the way they portrayed her in that movie though. Sure, it received a lot of hate because of how changed Godzilla was but if you went into it without any prior knowledge to Godzilla, you would've thought "Wow, that was a nice monster film."

Aside from the Godzilla himself, I'm a King Ghidorah fan. Dude is the most badass in the universe after Godzilla.

Only in the Showa era. Heisei, Millenium and Legendary Goji were all around 100m by their final iterations.

@Horrid

Setting aside none of those are close to 175 meters, I would still answer 50 meters if anyone ever asked me that question. His height 'grew' because people wanted to exploit how popular the franchise was and they adjusted him accordingly because bigger was better. In fact, Godzilla was shrunk back down to 55 meters in millennium (before the final iteration) because the director at the time found it a disgrace to change him to please the masses.

Anyway, it's sorta how when people ask question about a particular franchise e.g. Hunger Games, you answer using facts from the books and not the movies. Not because the 'original' is better or anything but because it's best answering using the original source.

Timothy Raddington

Present Time, Three Towers Apartment Complex, Second Floor Hallway

Alas, Timothy had promptly been ignored and more bullets had been fired. That was a very intelligent course of action; attracting zombies AND sending everyone into a panic. It was so brilliant that it blew his mind. Though he was thinking this, he had been among the first to run up the stairs the moment that 'soldier' began spraying his bullets.

Which of course led him to this situation. Since he was at the front, he had been among those who made it pass what seemed to be a zombie dog. That was very fortunate of course because otherwise it could have been him instead of a man he recognized as his neighbour three rooms down and a random woman from the church.

It wasn't as if he wanted to stay and watch the scene but at the same time continuing up the stairs meant leaving the main crowd and something like this could happen in the upper floors except with much less people around. He was NOT doing that. And didn't someone say they had to barricade the second floor?

Anyway, he could've swore the dog was Jay. No, he was confident as he had played with the dog several times.

Thankfully though, now it was dead... or deader thanks to the firewoman crushing it over and over with her boots. Oh god that was disgusting.

"Madison! I think he's down already," said Timothy. He had met the firewoman several times in the lobby before and caught her name through some small talk. "We should start barricading the stairway with stuff from the rooms!"

"Lucy is one hundred and seventy-five metres tall" Holy shit, God Zilla has entered the game.

Correct that teeny mistake and you're all good :)

@Dungeon Blaster

Godzilla is actually 50 meters tall.

Signs of something bad happening.

What do you consider a sign for something bad to happen in a roleplay? Bad referring to negatively impacting the roleplay; be it by ruining the mood, causing it to die and etc.

For example, I consider it a warning sign when a majority of an RP is made up of people new to the guild. I don't want to stereotype or anything but these people have a very bad tendency to speed or overpost in the beginning and then vanish without a word. I'm not saying existing guild members do that but they have a lesser tendency IMO.

@RareAccording to what Dblaster said, just post a CS and await his approval? He's asleep atm I think.

@Lone Wanderer We're not exactly sure... but a good estimate would anywhere between 10 to 20-ish people.

@Symphoni I'm not a GM or anything but I honestly believe you should tone down her stats. Our strongest character who is a 28 year old marine has less stats than her. In fact, I don't think theres any character with every stat that's at least 6.

To be fair, it was quite a cool one-liner.

@orangebox

Indeed it was.

One a side note, I believe the most logical course of action for our characters would be to actually give up the lobby... cuz that's a wide area to defend and attempt to barricade.

Just block the damn stairs with walls of trash. Much easier to defend such a narrow pathway and doing so from above.

"Start making your way upstairs Padre, I'll secure the lobby and barricade them from higher ground."

I want to see how many more posts quote this exact statement in a row.
