(comes back from long hiatus)... Ooo a political thread! What's the topic right now? Manlets upset women don't find them attractive?
@Jotunn Draugr It's been going for over 2 years. It's not going to die any time soon.
And yes, he's still alive. We've just sorta been ignoring him. Currently he's with the squad who have regrouped and are in the process of taking over the second floor of the imperial command post to kill the commander.
You are more than welcome to join back in if you want.
Inb4 @Weird Tales and @Jotunn Draugr and @j8cob come in with the Gawker Quinnspiracy and NYtimes stuff.

I did provide a map (http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3747993) at the beginning of the battle, showing where everything was located. I realize now, that it might be a bit hard to follow with text descriptions, so I made some quick annotations (also edited my post because I noticed I had my team on the wrong side of the street).
Red = Lilly's team's path
Green = potential mortar firing locations
Blue = Charlie Section's general path
Black = James' team's path (I think)
Orange = imperial command post
Hunt has given us directions as to where you're supposed to be going, and you're up against standard imperial soldiers. There's still a significant number of them around, though, just about everywhere.
If you want more events and things to react to, unfortunately that's up to you guys. I can't micromanage the entire battle to give everyone something specific for them to do because:
1) I'm not that good of a writer
2) That would balloon my posts to a truly staggering length. I simply do not have the time for that.
I might be able to do that if the RP only had 4 characters + NPCs, but on things of this scale that's not an option. You guys will need to generate some events in your posts to allow your characters to play off each other.
Jotunn, you're the only player in Charlie section, so you're actually in the best position for writing. You can pull minor encounters and events out where ever you want without needing to wait for other players.
Do you want to fight someone? Have your group bump into a couple imperials on the way. Want to help the other group? Find a house with a sniper in it that's taking aim at the guys across the street. Etc.
Roleplaying is collaborative storytelling, so I do need you guys to collaborate. If you want something to react to, make it happen (provided it isn't too world shattering).
@secretlydiscord Well, for one, the characters should get a lecture (perhaps passively?) about the rules of the facility. Perhaps they can get that in the morning before/after breakfast. Also, they should get schedules of what they're going to be doing at the facility. I'm not exactly sure what my character is allowed to do at the facility, so...
Haha so many questions. Would you be against everyone furthering the plot while you're not there to weigh in? Or would that be fine if we're in agreement?
