I've no issues with the plan. Also, Cook, you received my PM, right?

[OOC: Lol sorry was at school, man you guys did everything without me.]

Unknown that they were planning his role for him, he had turned on his music and listened to some Moonlight Sonata. As it died down, he looked up to see one of the wheel chaired men, Veeran, cradling a sniper rifle. He heard the last parts of the plan, and heard about his part and then he heard that he wouldn't be able to go in anyways. He sighed in relief, "Can I help with reconnaissance or something? I'm really good with electronics, I could shut down the lights for you guys when you take out the guards in the back or something." He didn't want his impression upon the team to be some useless baggage. He sighed, he wish he had been able to say more. He wrote down on a paper what he would buy with his five grand.

Is everyone ok with this for now? We have no clue what Nanite is doing.


OOC: Mick's supposedly just gonna go to the roof if he succeeds the throw, and if he's strong enough to climb up the roof with assistance from the grappling hook. If he can't do either, he's gonna GTFO back to the briefing room. If he gets to the roof and there's an entrance, he'll just stay where there's the least amount of people, and where he's the least likely to be seen by anyone. If he gets to the roof, and there's no entrance, he'll just hangout there and observe the impending chaos, and he'll climb down once everything has settled down and no one is looking for him.

Just posted now because you guys planned out and executed when it was 4:00 AM in my timezone.

OOC: What do you mean you're not going in? You have to go in and help Devour extract the hostage! Also, Captain Cook has told us that the Round is over, and we can't RP from this point on until he does the write up. Haven't you read any of the previous posts.

Jesus Fucking Christ guys, if you are going to use "I'm being in-character, my character doesn't listen or work well in teams" as an excuse to NOT read the posts that precede you, I am putting a bullet through your heads or quitting this game right now. I only joined this game because it promised some kind of creative flourishing, if its going to be guys who don't want to RP, RPing together, I'd rather not be a part of it.

Nope, Nish called you out on your plan and you just went with it anyways.

It's too late to change your plan. You should've communicated first, which proves you're a novice to DnD. I even told you this game was difficult, but you stuck through it.

I haven't even written the chapter yet but I hope a guard spots you throwing a grapple onto the roof like a retard and shoots you in the face, but we'll see what happens.



Anyways, I'm sorry about the pre-emptive chapter end. The next chapter will give you guys more breathing space but we're going with this. Writing it tonight but no promises. If anything, it'll be up late tomorrow but I'll do my best.

OOC: That wasn't a change in plan, that was what he was gonna do anyway, but I'm willing to bet that one negative Trait on Mick will assure his survival. If not, then hey, at least I learned shyt the hard way.

OOC: I've enjoyed my character's personality this far. He's so interesting, particularly in his speech patterns.

OOC: I apologize, I simply needed an excuse to why I didn't say anything for like 18 hours. My character can work with a team, I'll try to find a way to participate in the RP from now on, won't have this happen again, I hope.

OOC:

Aquila, if timezones are a problem, I totally understand, that wasn't what annoyed me. The problem is that both you and Nanite posted AFTER Cook specifically told us to stop posting, implying that you hadn't read any of the previous posts. Your knowledge of the plan was shoddy too, and we're all supposed to be IN-character. The least you can do is have that character at least listen, instead of explaining your lack of reading the posts to "He was listening to headphones." Also you had a chance to contribute, you were online several times and I think you even posted in the other RP. You didn't mention the reconnaissance, or the electronics specialty or any way in which you could contribute earlier, which is why we went ahead and devised one without you. For the next plan, we will factor in your skills, but the least you could have done is at least told us what you can do. Lets hope it goes well for us.

Nanite, you were also online several times when the plan was being formulated and could have fixed it easily. If it is in-character for you to work contrary to the team, it is completely in-character for the rest of us to slit your throat. Our characters are on an important mission, and it would make no sense, story-wise for them to tolerate someone who is detrimental to their cause. Just saying. So if you created a character specifically who can't work in a team, don't be surprised if he ends up at the bottom of a lake.

I'm not trying to be mean, I am expressing my thoughts because this is the one chance we have at an intelligent RP that isn't all about "Tom Thumb takes out his magic crossbow and shoot a thunderbolt between the monster's lips".

OOC: Understood, and I'm sorry about that. Its true what Cook said about me being a novice at DnD type games. If Mick survives this, I'll try to get him to develop better character.

As a side note, I don't think we need to put the "OOC:" tag any time we OOC since the Chapter's already getting written.

ooc: I like putting ooc because shit can get confusing if you go from rp to fucking rl in the same post without it. Also, Jesus balls you guys get a lot done while I'm asleep, the fuck?

edit: Just read everything, jesus tit balls send a crippled man in to extract the dood, GG. Nah, I have faith in him. It's like I told Cook when I submitted my character: Roth is like a more bad ass Dr. House. I have faith in the plan and like how everything is going thus far. I would like to suggest that Cook makes a post about the ending of the chapter coming close that way everyone can make one final post about what their characters are currently doing or where they might be at so we don't get timezone fucked. It would be like "OOC: The chapter is about to end, make your final post now" and then once everyone posts one last time he can finish writing the next chapter while we wait like the lambs that we are.

OOC: Lol we can't send only non-crippled characters because we're ALL crippled in some form lol

Do you mean we post while he is writing the chapter? Cause one of us might post something that negates everything that he wrote.

ooc: You're right. He could still make a post about the ending of the chapter and for everyone to make one final post before he begins writing the next one though. That's an easy fix.

OOC: Yeah that would be cool. But the problem is, then he'd have to wait until everyone posts before he begins writing.
