Actually, Freedom Under Consent of Karl would work better, and would be Johnny's suggestion. Who better to rally under the name of than Mr. Marx. Sure he spawned the Red Menace, but he did it out of altruism and love, not with foresite.

I love the gas mask idea, totally works. And Johnny keeping a semi-clean image would be awesome. He calls the rally, while the army does the deed.

*poke* C'mon guys, we aren't a lifeless corpse here. Get something happening before "something" starts happening. Likely at 3km per second from a range of point blank.

Deff iz comin fer ya wit sharp, killy teef! Post, ya stinkin humies!

I'm waiting on a side note I dont have RC with right now but can a base spirt alter its from if so I will incorirate a mask
if not then I mask would be impractical.
crizh
Not that I know of but you could just Materialize inside the Mask.

Would make for a really cool special effect, mist pours from the vents in the mask and forms into a cloud that fills and lifts the mask off the ground before solidifying into a crazy spirit in a Mask...
Dumori
But I would be reconnisable if i metrialised any place that the mask could not be taken.
Zombayz
I believe you could alter your form to include a mask, but like having a weapon appear in your form, it wouldn't actually do anything. Don't forget, how a Spirit appears is pretty much up to what it thinks it should appear as.
Dumori
But asspirits are immune to toxins it dosent need to work. Just obscure my face

asspirits


Are they like the Golgothan in Dogma?

Which is pretty much what altering your form would do. Just cover your face.

I've been manic here at work the past few days, kind of energy drained, but I'm still alive.

I think.
Zombayz
I share the feeling DH. I've been sick for the past two weeks, and just got an ear infaction which has killed my (normally very good) hearing
Dumori
What fun. I've hit exams so till the 6th jun I'm going to less active.
Zombayz
That's fine. Just throw a post in when you get the chance.
Digital Heroin
I present the song Johnny sang the day he got pinched by the 'Star:

[ Spoiler ]


The jury's out on whether it was inciting a riot or really shitty songwriting/singing that got him arrested.
Zombayz
A little bit of both maybe.
Digital Heroin
Could be... I still maintain he's a horrid singer... but punk isn't about pretty voices, it's about rage and passion... *nod*
Zombayz
Approaching one week without any IC activity. Do guys want to be fast-forwarded to the ambush site or somewhere else?
Dumori
I'm still waiting for some one to make the first move. But I'll do it if no one else will.
crizh
Depends how fast and loose you want to run this. If you're going to be a stickler for details I'd like to have a map of a suitable site from Google maps or something.

If you want to be a bit more abstract I'm happy to just jump forward a bit.
Zombayz
I'll MSPAINT a map and then upload it. Don't expect something too complicated. And any sort of IC activity would be appreciated.

Edit: HEY LOOK, A MAP(it works now!). If you want some info on details, just ask.

Edit With Flavour: apparently dumpshock hates images. Damnit. Changing to link.
Digital Heroin
I tend not to like doubling, but I felt the need for Johnny to talk some more, kind of put out a tentative plan, and try to jumpstart some moetion. Still no input IC-like on the name, though, eh... cool.gif
Zombayz
I'm trying to poke Deze into being more active, but either he's not there or very good at ignoring me.
Zombayz
Deze, if you're still reading this, you have !SEVENTY-TWO(72)! hours to get more active, otherwise you are being killed, then eaten by ghouls.
Zombayz
The doctor is dead. Let's get going guys.
Zaranthan
Come on, people! Did you join a game to play or what?
Zombayz
I'd be agreeing. Do something, preferably before more bullets come from a mile off.
Dumori
Well I'm scouting the astral around the ambush area looking in he school and other buildings and such.
Digital Heroin
I've been playing. Johnny's been rattling around in my head ranting, rambling, and screaming for more time... but I'm trying to give the other guys room too. There's only so much I can post before I'm railroading along, and that's no fun.
Zombayz
I'll admit the point, and bow to the logic. Then again, that's probably the hangover speaking.
crizh
Sorry, been a bit distracted...

Do we have some sort of concrete plan here?

The map is a help but the rest of the plan seems to be cops end up on off-ramp somehow, we attack them....

How wide is the off-ramp anyways. It kinda looks like it's about four lanes from the supplied scale, in which case we are going to have to be a bit more elaborate than just planting a couple of bombs.
Digital Heroin
The rambling plan made less rambling:

- Johnny aranges for a 'gathering' in the schoolyard near the offramp (forum post already made);
- Johnny calls in an anonymous tip to the proper LS precinct that'll dispatch a car over the freeway;
- Crank leads the 'Star down the offramp towards the school (insurance they'll come the way we want);
- Flashbang has some goodies set up to crack any Citymaster they send;
- Unwin positions himself with LOS to use Accident on the LS response team's vehicle if need be.

To clear up the multi-lane program, we can move debris into the un-mined lanes ahead of time, and we can do the same on the freeway itself.

The offramp is about 2.5 meters wide, as is each lane of the highway.

OK groovy, I'll start working on an IC post...
Zombayz
So how about those thar IC posts guys?
Dumori
Sorry my net has been temperamental and I've got my last 3 exams tomorrow. Also I'm still waiting from results from my scouting.
crizh
Here is the updated map.

Blue dots are Stun Grenades, small red dots are AV Grenades, big red dots are the bombs.

Blast radii are extremely approximate.

Some shopping at the hardware store later and the whole lot are packed inside Traffic Cones. The Grenades that are inside the blast radius of a bomb are contained within mild-steel boxes.

Grenade Cleen-tac'ed to the pavement, box on top of it nailed to the tarmac and then a Traffic Cone concealing it.

The Grenades on the main road are presumably behind concrete crash barriers and don't need the boxes.

Our Rabbit will have 2 of the AV grenades and 4 of the Stun variety. I will keep the remaining AV Grenades and 5 of the Stun Grenades in an Armoured box (like a DJ's flight case). The other 8 Stun Grenades can be passed out by our fearless leader as he sees fit.

I figure the planted Grenades can be set off by Unwin. He can pull the pins and then fade into the Astral.

I'll also pick up a bunch of Hard Hats and Hi-Vis vests so that planting the gear doesn't look too sus'.

edit

I wouldn't recommend being in the Office building or on the playing field.

People in the pink area will not survive. The AV bombs on the main road are primarily to prevent any vehicles being in the main blast that don't belong there. We can detonate the ones after the turn off early to encourage the cops to go down the ramp and to prevent any civilians from continuing down the road.

The ones before the junction next to prevent anyone following the cops down the ramp.
Zombayz
Ok, sorry about dissapearing, shit got crazy for a while. IC update in a few minutes.

Edit: update in, and do you guys want to skip the prep(it's not like we need to do step by step placing of the bombs and having people arriving for the party/riot) and go right into Crazy's baiting of cops and our tremendous party/riot(for that added cheering and sporadic gunfire!) nyahnyah.gif?
Zombayz
Declaring game dead due to lack of interest.
Digital Heroin
I'll say this, Zombayz, it's not lack of interest on my part. You lit a fire under my ass, one which spawned probably one of my most fun concepts of late, but there's only so much one or two people can do with a player driven game that started out with more. Sorry to see it die, really.
crizh
Yeah, I was enjoying the hell out of this despite the slow post rate.

Digital Heroin
Johnny's going to be making an appearance or two in my Emerald City Nights series... when that starts up again... which isn't going to be for a bit, what with sailing, a lost laptop power supply, and drektastic bandwidth on the ship... I nearly cried when I heard how fast the Australian navy's connections on ship are...
Dumori
Who do you sail for DH?
