[OOC] It's A Wonderful Life! An Imperial Guard (40K) RP [Reboot/Continuation] [MATURE]

[NecroKnight]

@Dannyrulx

Fucking Blue smurfs.

[Bright_Ops]

The only good thing about the smurfs is that when an enemy of the Imperiam is shown with space marine helmets to show off how dangerous they are, it's always there helmets.

[Jb]

@Bright_Ops I actually forgot that...but that is very, very, true.

[NecroKnight]

@Bright_Ops@Jbcool

Matt Ward will save them through the power of the Retconnia.

Okie dokie, just a quick refresher that this is a third person RP - that is how posts are to be written. This (m.wikihow.com/Write-in-Third-Person) should help anyone unfamiliar with it, or remind anyone who is.

Now, I think it's about time I wrote us a post to get us along slightly...

Oh, and as for Matt Ward, well, he is our Spiritual Liege after all.

@Jbcool

Why'd you include me? All of Angelika's posts have been in 3rd person. In fact, I think all of them are in 3rd person actually.

@Jbcool

ohhh... got it. xD

[Jb]

@Dannyrulx I included everyone, you special flower you.

[Andreyich]

Commissars are still Astra Militarum. They can't shoot me without getting into a lot of trouble unless I done something reeeaaaal bad.

@Andreyich

Actually, they're not. Commissars are formally a part of the Militarum Tempestus as part of the Departmento Munitorum's Commissariat and are empowered to execute anyone that gets in the way of proper Imperial discipline, with the only exceptions I can think of being the Adeptus Astartes and the Holy Inquisition... for obvious reasons.

@Hank

Thought you'd get away with it, eh?

Hank is correct though; feel free to act as you will, just don't get in the way of that discipline...otherwise 'blam'!

[Andreyich]

Literally what? The Militarun Tempestus has it's own commissars but the commisariat as a whole is not part of it, this is literally in the MT Codex! They only have significant authority over the IG and civilians. They cannot just shoot a Frateris Militia member for discipline. I would have to actually kill the girl for them to do that, and not taking excommunicated, or mobbed.

[Hank]

"Independent of the conventional Imperial Guard Hierarchy, Commissars are instead attached to the Departmento Munitorum's Commissariat and are formally part of the Militarum Tempestus."

There are plenty of examples of Commissars executing members of other military branches (like various PDF's) in disciplinary matters in the fluff of 40K. And you forget that Frateris Militia are technically civilians.

"The existence of the Frateris Militia is tolerated due to the fact that they have no formal connection to the Ecclesiarchy: they are no more than faithful Imperial citizens eager to prove their dedication to the Imperial Cult."

Thus, based on your own reasoning, John is totally subject to the authority of a Commissar.

Source: the Lexicanum.

EDIT: Not to mention the fact he's just been conscripted.

[NecroKnight]

@Andreyich

That is true. Ecclesiarchy is forbidden to have men under arms.

And your char has been mostly a civilian with a gun. Threatening IGs as a civilian is ground for BLAMing.

It's like threatening a soldier as a civilian during Modern Times...during a war. At best ignored at worst shot.

Suspected Heresy. And a free grave ditch for you.

[Jb]

@Andreyich

I think that, much like the French with the Magenot Line in WWII, you may have to give this one up.

You may have been getting mixed up between the Frateris Templars - the pre Apostasy fighting force - and the current Frateris Militia, who are the unsanctioned and unofficial religious mob of the current times.

As @NecroKnight correctly pointed out, the only force under arms now allowed to them are the Sisters of Battle, and they are only their because they count as a loophole in the law of the land.

In short, we can execute you as any other soldier, whether that happens or not is entirely up to you and your character. :)

I for one quite like him, he brings much needed zeal, but in the point of who has authority over whom I do believe you have been 'out lored'.

Now, let's get on with the good stuff, ey?

[agentmanatee]

@Dannyrulx if you want to do any big sistering to Ninke now is the time seeing as she's throwing up in the mud coming of a panic attack XD

[NecroKnight]

@Andreyich

Fresh conscript. New rank = rookie = hazing time.

[Asura]

I don't think I can keep up with this speed of posting. Sorry, y'all.

[Hank]

I have to say I almost agree.

[Dannyrulx]

@agentmanatee

I sorta need lioness to post beforehand, it would be super disrespectful for a lower-ranking officer to just wander off in the situation currently. Like, *BLAM*ing levels of disrepect.
