So it looks like posting order is going out the window.

I don't waaaaannnttt to wait for loads of people to post before me. /sulks
Though for serious, doesn't the team order seriously restrict not only narrative freedom but consistency within the world? If we force someone to post before someone else, that necessitates them acting beforehand, when such an action might not be necessary. Say for example that poster Y is the best member of the team to silently incapacitate a person in the team's way, but X has the post. Seems fucking retarded that X would not play to this if it is part of his character to want to achieve success, for example, and it seems odd that Y would also not mention this, but because of this posting order, neither can play to their hypothetical characters.
EDIT Suggestion for solution:
We make a titanpad for operations and post every few hours with whatever's there, being courteous to not step on the toes of fellow players.
@Zetsuko I just realized there was a posting order. This is what I get for rolling out of bed and not reading all the OOC posts. If you've got the next order god forbid I go against the GMs

@Wayward
Our characters should be friends. I need a partner that Adam got at beacon, and our characters seem like a good team.

All I can think of when I hear "Time Stop"
Also, Adam needs another friend. Anyone interested in some more tie ins?

I like it.
[@Volvenradica] You're OK with Adam using tools above and beyond his big guns, right? Things like grenades, or other combat accoutrements?
Also, if you want to go full on Tom Clancy, I figure since my character is essentially big game hunting, and he has aura to make his wrist/shoulder not get torn off, having one of those goofy and overcompensatory handguns that chamber in .45-70 govt would be appropriate. The rifle, working from the same principle and assuming that alongside mechs, ear protection has come a long way, something goofy in 20mm might be appropriate for the rifle. Hunters are super strong, and aura sure can take a pounding when not getting hit by the floor. I just thought you should know to adjust for what such a person would be capable of, and tell me if such silly and over-the-top choices would be possible or appropriate for Grimm-hunting and aura-breaking.

I get what you're saying Kurai, and since the show doesn't explain anything, there is little I see coming from an argument. I find it unlikely that a world with gelling agents [fairly certain I saw some candy that would necessitate this, maybe not] and petroleum with modern sensibilities would not produce a burning agent to kill forests, but we can assume they do not have one. We are told that grimm get more powerful the further they are from civilization, and the only one's we've seen have been mediocre at best. I find it hard to believe they can be a big enough threat to require something besides man-portable crewed weapons, but it can be assumed they don't have them.
I'm coming to this thinking about works of fiction like World War Z, or the very real Second Boer War, or the removal of the Mongols from Russia, in which modern technology and competent organization overcomes massive numbers and more deadly 'gimmick' capabilities, but we may very well just assume that people in RWBY are fools who refuse to pursue useful technologies and Grimm are secretly a credible threat to an airship fleet numbering hundreds of warships.
And I do, for this RP. I just think it silly. Things can be both dumb and good at the same time.
TL;DR: Explanations are contrived, but I don't care, argumentation at this point is pointless.
EDIT: Fuck, I mentioned UBER. Time to re-read the whole thing. 10/10 best comic books in a long time.

@The ghost in black Logic's overrated. Fun is better. And I don't mean to be an asshole, nor do I bear you any ill will. You're classy. I'm just nitpicking because I don't want to start my midterm essay.
Trust me, there is nothing worse than knowing about firearms or any other piece of combat technology and watching popular media. I have learned to just ignore it when someone fires 25 rounds from a gun that holds 8+1. Or when two people swordfight and swing at a point between them rather than at their opponent. Or when someone takes cover behind a sofa and does not get shot through it.
