I'm here, but sick. I'll throw something down in a little while if I'm still home.

<insert sardonic tone here> Oh, snap, you got me. I'm a big, ignorant dummy head. You once again have proven your superiority over me, oh great and powerful one with the big dick. Mine is so very small, and yours is absolutely massive. I again bow before your greatness. By the way, if you get around to getting whatever crawled up your ass and died out of there sometime, try subtracting the +3 bonus skill dice from his Mnemonic Enhancer from all of those languages and see what you come up with. Silly me. When you're done with that, try focusing on playing the game instead of acting like a dick about other people's stats of which you have absolutely no knowledge of whatsoever. Thanks. |

Ok... how about cutting the crap now, because it's ceased to be funny... honestly, you've got a problem, drag it somewhere else...

Hey, you said it man, not me. Also, learn English OOC, ASAP. That way you can read the bioware descriptor for Mnemonic Enhancer. It adds a bonus to the test, not to the skill rating itself. Course, you could set this up for infinately regressive debate by saying you just factor in things which are already implied, but the point is still that you have an official rating of eight with a boost to the test of three and if you totally didn't want your chops busted like this then you shouldn't have reacted to a simple question with what you pass off as b-grade witticism. And that's that. You want some more, you can find me on AIM. BambooMug. |

No offense to everyone, but I just wanted to play a game. I'm tired of this dickless wonder acting like this on both the OOC boards and in PMs (I tried talking to him when he started getting his panties in a twist about the coded lingo bit in the previous OOC thread, and yeesh), so I think I'll pass. I prefer to play in a comfortable environment with friends as opposed to with some ass who feels he has to point out his ignorance at every turn. Feel free to NPC Dragos until you can get someone to replace him in the Communications Specialist position; there were a lot of people interested in it anyway.
Again, I apologize. I just have no interest in playing with a "I'm so great, you all suck, and I'm going to critize everything about your character 'cause I'm too cool!" asshole who can't handle a bit of dry humor like Cardboard. Have fun, though. |

Ok guys, stop being stupid. I don't know you but you both seem very aggressive about very simple things. I'm sure this situation can change and I hope it's going to happen right now. It's not too late for both of you to calm down a bit and to realize that nothing very bad happened. You just started insulting each other for no good reason, without doubt because you had a tough day that time, or something like that. Everyone makes mistakes, and you made one by overreacting. Now, Cardboard, next time don't insult someone because he didn't seem to understand what was going on: instead, you just want to point out a mistake that someone might have made. And Clockwork, please don't quit .. I mean, there's no need to do that, and try not to insult someone just cause "he started it". Now I don't wanna read anything about fucking languages anymore and you two tell me if you want to stay in the game or not.

I hope you don't mind me posting, but I'd just like to say I find it absolutely hilarious that you up and left in a huff before any actual posting got done. Or started, I should say.

I fully intend to stay. Though I must admit I did come on a bit violently on the dead language debate, I truely didn't mean anything when I asked if he thought a rating of eleven on a language was a little high.
However, I have a long-standing policy that if someone decides to get snippy like that, I fight back. I'm sorry, I try not to be combative or confrontational, but I believe the coloquialism is that "if you start shit, you get shit back". As for Lime leaving, I have no control or opinion over that. I have, however, said my peace on this matter. |

Christ guys, I can't remember the last time I heard such a heated argument over something so inconsequential.

As an aside, I believe Grey's recent posting allows us now to throw in our own .02 ¥ into the IC fray.

Hey guys. Look, I understand that some of you have your differences, and that's life. However, I've worked REALLY hard on putting this game together, and coming up with all the background and story and what not. And all of you put a LOT of work into your characters. I feel that I've got the best team I could possible have for this game, and I don't want to lose anyone. Let's PLEASE try to work together and get along. Sometimes we may have to swallow our pride or not take others seriously. But let's all try to keep things flowing. I really want to see this work. :(
And please keep any and all sarcastic or "It wasn't my fault..." comments off this board. Thank you. |

<sighs> I'm sorry. I tend to get a bit hot under the collar on occassion. I'll try to keep it in check in the future.
Just know that when I say something sarcastic, it's never intended to be mean. I'm exactly the same in the flesh. Ask anyone who talks to me on a regular basis. In any case, I don't wanna let Ronin down so I'll stick around. Again, I apologize. |

Hey guys, Grey isn't feeling so well, so the rest of you will probably have to carry the IC thread for the next couple of days. Michael's (Grey's) call is going to come to each of you sometime before 8am on a Friday morning. It's february, and pretty darned cold. You guys will all have about 5 hours to do whatever before you have to meet at Deke's office. You should spend this time introducing the rest of the players to your character's usual routine.

C'mon, guys. The sooner more of us post, the sooner Ronin can get the game rolling. Just gotta describe how your characters get the call and all.

Waiting on an e-mail, actually. Just need to confirm a detail, which will determine where Illian is...

Posted! It was long phew. I took some liberties hope you don't mind Ronin. @ Clock, same to you, I figured they would be buddies cause you are Russian and Danny speaks Russian, and you both like shooting things... well anyways I was just trying to get some flavor. Hope you don't mind.

Morning team. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter R&R, because now it's time to get to work! 8-)
@DH: Illian has the green light, just in case you didn't get my return e-mail. @Shadow: I don't mind one bit. I really like the flavor text. And I'm sure Clock won't mind one bit having you included. Guys, I want you to realize that YOU play as much a part in telling this story as I do. Please feel free to add flavor whenever you can. If you post something that conflicts with what I have in mind, I'll either A) PM you and ask you to edit it a bit or B) take the ball and run with if your stuff inspires me. 8-) Again, as long as you guys stay in character, it should all work out perfectly. And I will be trying to stay as free-form as possible. If you guys come up with some sort of tangent I hadn't thought of, I'll do my best to merge with with the rest of the game. This is your story. I'm just the guide. ;) |

Keep up the good work with the IC posts. As soon as everyone has put in ther initial IC posts, I'm going to move right towards the mission setup/briefing. Things should get rolling full speed by then. Again, if you guys have any questions, please let me know.
FYI, this isn't a shadowrun, so there's no need to bring any gear to the meeting. You normally have beentween 24 and 72 hours after the mission briefing before you depart, which is plenty of tim to gather up your things. Also, since the meeting is in Deke's office on the 7th floor of the Ares Arms building, it's unlikely security would let you in with your equipment. 8-) |

I decided to go 1st Person with my posts for Dragos. I hope it doesn't mess with you guys too much -- I know how anal a few of you can be about staying in the same person. I just wanted to try something a little different for a change. :)

It's not a very big deal now before the mission starts, but I'd appreciate it if everyone would head their IC messages with the (in game) time and date. It's not critical now, but it's going to be pretty important later. Also, it helps everyone keep track of time.
And Clockwork mentioned something that makes sense. You guys aren't shadowrunners, so you don't walk around being called by your "street name". Usually callsigns are for missions only. You all know each others names, and most likely refer to one another either by first (typical) or last (hard core military) names. Of course, feel free to invent whatever nicknames you wish for your buddies. 8-) |
