[quote=@TomeBinder] [@Darkraven] I am sorry, and don't want to sound like I'm pigeon holing you, but the idea of a Japanese soldier, thousands of miles from home, with specialist training in killing shamblers just doesn't fit the realism scope of the RP. If we were closer to Japan, then maybe, but alas... I'll be happy to accept any other characters you have to offer, just please make my life easier by having their existence make sense to my RP. Thanks ;)[/quote] Looks like we'd have to agree to disagree. It's no fault of yours, but my time in roleplayerguild hasn't been worthwhile. 3 dead RPs in the span of a few weeks, my gosh! Anyhoo... 1) I didn't say that he had special training. I've emphasised that they were only outfitted differently, and hastily as I might add, with some makeshift BACKWARD technology. Yes, they've gone backwards. What training they have would have been at the most on-the-spot consistently only of experience and maybe some quick briefings on new SOPs and combat doctrines. They were tried and true as the days rolled by. 2) So an American in foreign soil is believable but a person from another nation on American soil isn't? 3) Don't forget that we have planes, helicopters and even ships. The last one is much more old tech but still would have accounted for the mobility. 4) EDIT: I found a solution for my character and that is to place him in the United States before the outbreak. They were in a joint military training exercise with the US military, the outbreak happened and his unit was quickly outfitted to fight the dead either using airdropped supplies or locally procurred supplies. But like I said, don't matter now. That said, I'm afraid my plans have changed and I won't be joining this RP. Like I said, it's not your fault entirely. I've got real life stuff, I've yet again been disappointed by roleplayerguild. I feel that we're different in thoughts and opinions which will lead to lack of trust, disagreements and conflict. Lastly, the style of your RP, in the end, is risky to me - this is partly proven by the failure of the last 3 zombie RP I'd been involved in. Thanks for considering me though. We knows? We might meet again under different circumstances.
