Yes, sorry, I looked in a couple times yesterday between family stuff, and I was wondering why you hadn't posted. Claymore's holding his action - got it. Will post IC momentarily(-ish).

*nods* Have fun in Basic, man. I do not envy you. I don't do well when people yell at me. I'm fine with the noise and fine with taking orders, it is just incredibly rude and pisses me off for some reason.

Ok, so this didn't quite work out the way Fistcaliber was planning.
We were supposed to get through this little encounter, and 'pause' afterward, so that us as players could still post and interact socially at the morning meeting and even during the beginning of the trip (if we were so inclined). In this way, the game could still go on without the GM until he gets back to the real world (of Shadowrun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). This didn't quite happen! What I propose is this ... We wrap it up ourselves! This shouldn't be all that much of a stretch for us. After all, a full scale brawl has not yet broken out. It is, at the moment, just three-on-five, with most of the five down (or in the process of going down). It shouldn't be difficult to withdraw gracefully, maybe with Tain's intervention. It doesn't need to be drawn out or anything. We just need to agree about how to go about closing the 'scene', so that we can move on to more free-form character interaction and all that stuff for a few months. |

Sounds good to me, not that Haven can really interfere what with his being miles away and in the middle of a conversation right now.
Ok, who votes Claymore gets knocked the hell out? *raises hand* .... Anyway, in all seriousness, I think it would be a process of mere seconds for Claymore to kick that poor fool on Curly in the head and end him, and then tag team the one fighting Jake, then right before the full brawl erupts Tain can come back in and make some speech about solidarity or some such thing and cool everything off.

I planned on shooting into the air to make a grand re-entrance once the current mini fight (IE, basically what DT outlined above, KOing these last two or so chumps) was wrapped up.

I'll put up a wrap up IC post in a little while then. Once I can think of the right wording and such, that is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I don't mind at all if Tain wants to make his grand entrance at this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
There's no real need to actually 'put them down', as the two remaining are probably due to fail a morale test, what with now being outnumbered and their leaders 'out of action' for the moment. Besides, I'd rather not do the dice rolling thing without Bosun's Fist if at all possible, especially for combat-related stuff. Oh, and the spoiler in my last post is cool for all to read. It is just crap that would clutter up the IC, but was relevant to my mindset at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In case you want to write them into your post, there are about ten other assorted Ancients in the room besides the eight combatants. |

Hey there...
If you guys do keep this up, would you mind if I sent a copy of the exchange Ben's way? I know he'd get a kick out of it... and he must be absolutely dying for a DS fix by now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (Oh, this is Ben's wife for those not in the know. Not sure if I've ever met Critias or not... the pregnancy has invaded my brain..) |

How are you holding up so far? Make sure you give the Big Fist our best when you get a chance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Some days are easier then others. I think it will get a bit easier once I actually start hearing from him. As of now, I don't even have an address for him yet. *sigh* He did say something about maybe getting to call home on Father's Day so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
As for the pregnancy... meh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If it weren't for the outcome I could very easily come to the conclusion that it is highly overrated. |

Hi Alysha, Ben should be able to wright you in a couple of weeks if I remember reception. He should be getting into his training unit usually after 2 -3 weeks in reception. Uniforms physicals, shots etc etc.
I too have twins and have been talking to Ben on and off. If you have any questions hopes fears or just wanna shout. Hey drop me a line. Chris |

Thanks Magus. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I did get his address if anyone is interested in coversing with him via the archaic, and oft-overlooked USPS. Just let me know... and what happened to you guys running this game without him? I was all intrigued... and then it died. You people should be ashamed. *shame, shame*

I can only make so many posts by myself. I do need at least a modicum of input from some of the others to keep it going. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

I so don't believe that. I would love to see a game run BY Fortune FOR Fortune. Hilarity ensues.

If I wanted to do that, I'd write a damn book. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I really struggle with writing, and haven't anywhere near the patience or talent to write anything decent. But I really do like this game, and don't want to see it die, or even lag too much. Even a small post from Critias would be enough for me to move things to where we can just do some sort of free-form character interaction. Maybe if he hasn't posted in a few days, I'll just push things on myself (or DTFarstar could do it if he wanted), at least just far enough to get out of this encounter, then it'll be a bit easier for everyone to post. Or at least for everyone that wants to do so anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Sorry, madness here in the workplace has cut down on my on-line time significantly. They're axing about 12,000 people across the country, and so far only 7,000 have been announced, so the rest of us all have management all of a sudden giving a fuck about us as they scramble around to try and show upper management just how damned important they are.
For the record, though, yes please PM me with Fisty's address. When I was in Basic, nothing was better than mail. Nothing. It tells you someone cares about you (because your drill sergeant doesn't), it's the only time you'll hear your name called (without it being followed by extra PT), and settling in to read a letter is a break in the routine, albeit a small one (the importance of which cannot be overstated). |

Same here, I'll send him at least a little note or something. Also, I would help you move stuff along, Fortune, but Haven is at home either talking to someone or sleeping. I'm not sure about the exact time line. So... I really don't have anything I can add unless you just want me to take control of some NPC action.

It's cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll figure it out in the next couple of days or so, because I sure ain't willing to let this game die. Oh, and the address thing is a good idea. Should have thought of that myself. |
