Hello everyone, so the first post is up and here's the drill.

[indent]1. People need to decide how they are grouped in the platoon organization as provided by Gunther. Take a fireteam or squad lead position, and file in where you see fit. You can devise NPC's under your character. That's your call. Also, you can stack up with other characters as you see fit. For example, Danny Shattah is definitely working for Brian Park.

2. Posting protocol; We want to see a post once a week around here. Instead of feeling pressured to crank out 3,000 words, I want you to consider three paragraphs covering about a minute's worth of actions to be considered the baseline for this RP. We do not need to move too far ahead here and we do not need to be dropping off because we aren't feeling a massive post and don't want to 'disappoint.' [u]Posts do not disappoint -- not posting disappoints.[/u] So I want people to think in terms of three paragraphs. Interaction is key, and short posts are best for that.

(Yes, I know I posted a monster of a first post, but that's to get you guys to where we are.)

3. That said, if you want to do a long post, please do. Nothing's stopping you. The baseline exists so we know ahead of time what the post expectations are. We want to keep it moving, we aren't a snobbish critic society that goes, "Oh, well, that post was so barebones. What a rube." Also, in the vein of larger posts, consider using [url=https://discord.gg/HRFxaW5]Discord[/url] to host discussions and then hit [url=http://piratepad.net]piratepad[/url] or similar to actually collaborate.

4. [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YMU_ofplhOHpqU3ror6pS-OFknzKbHZtcJkwVItdlF4/edit#gid=0]Sign up for Squad/Fireteam roles[/url] -- feel free to take over as leadership.[/indent]

That is really all. I want this RP to do well and I want to keep everyone on board. I hope that a frank discussion of what we're looking for here helps ease the way. This is Advanced, but I am not worried about post length. I am worried about player engagement. :toot
