Psst... Today's Thursday.

Hm. A lot more time than I thought I had. No complaints there.

I am sure I have no idea what your talking about.

Of course you don't! I'm the crazy one!

Shadow -- What year do we start play? Will help me timeline my character.

EDIT: Also, apologies if I missed it, but what sort of lifestyle do we pay for?

EDIT the second: Regarding the 50 karma - is that 48 karma and 2 for the pool?

I'd like to throw my hat in if it isn't too late. Following suit,
1)Heavy Weapons/Demolition
2)Hermetic Mage

I know you put specifics in but how about an intel rep from higher HQ interrogator translator, cryptolinguits/radio recon, Dizzo's, or CCT the kind of people that get attached to your unit. I ask because you stated you wanted that military feel and it seems that you have enough volunteers for the other positions.

I am sure I could do a 12 to 14 man platoon easy. But I just am not capable of running a game with that many players and maintining a level of enjoyment for everyone. So I figured 6 or 7 characters with very specific tasks should cut it.

I wish everyone who interested could play but it just wont work out like that.

I like to stop at 6, 7 is ok I guess, but 8 and more starts to get to be too much.

Thinkin'...

...

...

I'll let y'all know when I'm done.

A question was asked that I missed.

A question regarding gear, Shadow - you've said if we don't purchase it, we don't have it - will we be able to requisition gear for missions? Say parachutes for drops or scuba gear for amphibious ops?

If not, everyone else, we should probably brainstorm a list of 'must-have' gear that will facilitate covert ops and field work:

Parachutes
Scuba gear (I need scuba enlightenment - what gear would we need exactly?)
Survival kits
Flare launchers (not included in the survival kit for some reason)
...


We could also brainstorm a standard issue of augmentations (for those getting cybered up)

Sleep Regulator (this seems impossible to pass up for extended operations)
Digestive Expansion or Clean Metabolism (both have their uses)
Datajack
BattleTac Receiver
...

Or - alternately - Shadow could come up with a standard issue gear/augmentation list that we need to buy.

Ok. You have a good point. What I meant was, that if you go on a mission, beyond mission specific stuff, if you don't buy it you don't have it.

parachutes and scuba gear, mini subs and Jet skis will be provided.

Sleep Reg is very, very handy.
Digestive Expansion only if you don't have enough ration bars.
Datajack is always something someone should have. (Reminds me... My longrifler definately doesn't. Heh. Need to change her some anyway.)
BTac is so much better as the cyber version. You get more bonuses that way than with the non-cyber version.

So many things to buy, so little essence... I settled for the non-cyber receiver to save on money and essence drain.

Shadow -- on availability - what about hardened military armor? Avail 18, but seems like it would make sense that it was available to us.

If not - what armor would then be standard issue?

As a spec ops guy, you can have whatever armor you want, as long as it is AV 14 or lower.

Hardened armor is for overt operations, not covert.

Although I have made several changes to my charecter already... I keep feeling that I have missed something out!!

One other note. You guys should all speak Sperithiel. Cause like, we're the Tir and all.

Tick tock, tick tock.

Thursday is the last day for submissions. Friday I will announce who's in and Sunday the game starts.

Just don't expect any posts from me till Monday.

I can only post from Monday to Friday

Um, I've sent you all of the stuff regarding my character, I'm not sure if something just happened, or what.

Would you like me to resend it?

actually, i'm going to resend it anyway, in case you just missed it or something the character's name was James, and the email address should be the same as my name here.

Sent in my submission. Please let me know if you get it (or don't).

I got it Sparky.

Coolio.

Please Ignore the empty space due to my stupidity and lack of reading skills

Check the list again Paul, he has you listed as *submitted*

yeah, actucually, i just noticed that, please forgive my stupidity

NEVER! *blasts you with a Force 12 Manabolt*

(man, I need to get more sleep)

The scary part will be if he socks it

I feel like my charecter is more or less sorted out, problem is I want to do a bit of fine tuning but am on my company laptop... so dont have my charecter sheet here.

Also, as a point of interest... I work on a shift pattern, I work four days on and four days off, I do often post while im at work but just to let you know that it may not happen. but on the up side there will always be four days where I have nothing to do but sit on the internet and abuse dumpshock!!

Shadow, could you let me know if you feel there is anything more that I need to do please?

Just a friendly reminder, that tomorow is the last day for submissions.

Last minute thought: I do believe as the Tir Special Forces, not only would we know Sperethiel, but also Carromeleg. You know, the funky martial art.

Good point. I took it, but everyone should likely have a bit of it.

It's a little late for those of us who did our character's early though

If you don't have it that's fine. You need to speek sperethial though.

now that He can do

The heavy weapons/demolitions character was just sent. Don't think I'll be able to finish off my mage before the deadline though. Just as well probably. Competing against Sphynx for the spot can't go too well, especially if I'm in a hurry.

Hemlok--Guess I'm just chopped liver...

Yes. Yes you are... *ducks*

(please don't take this out on any characters I have in your games!)

Ecc--Would I ever do that??

Of course you would! What good Evil GM™ wouldn't?

Getting 'ware now, drones are done. If they aren't in before I go fall unconscious, they will be a bit after school tomorrow. (I get home about noonish my time, so maybe 1 or 2 at the latest.)

Since the guvmint gives us free middle, I'll be knocking that off of the longrifler and tacking the 30k elsewhere. Dunno where yet, but somewhere. (Maybe an upgrade, who knows.)

I'm sure you've still got a good shot Ecc. My character is hardly anything special. He does what he does well, but fairly limited in scope. Not necessarily spec ops material.

Im going to go through my charecter tomorrow with a fine tooth comb and sort out any bits im not 100% sure of.
