Also, I need to explain Madrys a little more, will do that later...

@superservo27
I'ma be completely honest...

I do like the basis of this rp, and I love Titanfall. THat's why I was hyped and inspired for this roleplay. But, I dunno, just the general confusion of you not laying out where specifically we were dropping to or anything- to this day I still don't really know what are objective is, what the scenery, what the battlefield. We were near a facility, but we're by pillars, but we advanced from where we dropped, but I have no idea where to...? And in addition to that, the whole sentient-and-feeling-pain AI really turned me off. Like, I love AI and all the stuff that usually comes with a decidedly inhuman intelligence, but the whole so-modified-they're-a-mechanical-human really just didn't sit well with me. Screaming cause the robot took damage? That doesn't make any sense. They ain't a human, who has nerves that trigger pain when in peril- they're a machine. When a machine loses an arm, everything going to that arm says it ain't responding, there's nothing there.

In short, my inspiration for this roleplay went out the window due to no one taking charge, and a personal dislike and peeve of a machine feeling when there's no reason to. I'm out, sorry. This ain't my crowd.

And if you argue that it's because sentient-feeling-Titan's pilot wanted it to feel pain, then that's just a stupid reason. Making your suit of armor feel pain and react to it is a terrible, terrible idea that I couldn't see any believable commanding officer authorizing.

1. So p. much, it's the lack of a tacty-mappy? I'm sure we can find an arty person or a google-fu expert to conjure up a map and MS-paint some markers to overlay upon it. I'm not at all familiar with Titanfall's maps, so I'm not much help in that regard.
-I know it's a facility with bunkers, and a lab, and stuff... so I'm thinking either a Spectre manufacturing plant from the first game, or the secret Titan labs PvP map from the second.

2. Well, that was sort of a thing of Titanfall 2, I think... it kinda split the fanbase for reasons you already understand.
-'pain' would depend on how the pressure-sensors react to an explosive wave shearing through the metal skin for that infinitely-long fraction of a second. And maybe the warning of bleeding-out hydraulic fluid, reactor-coolant, and whatever other bodily-fluids a hyper-adanced Titan uses...

I don't want to try making excuses for something someone else did with incoherent technical-babble, it could also simply be an emulated emotion, and not a genuine reaction of Alma. (<---terrible reason)

Random electrical shorts/surges are unlikely to be pleasant upon the experimental processor and AI architecture. At least until those circuits get manually truncated.

3. Anyways, sorry to see you go. Hopefully something comes your way that gets your interest.

@OfWindAndRain Ah, but I'm an unsufferable nitpicker as well. So is all good.

I have literally gone onto tangents starting with commenting on how slow an RP is moving, leading into multi-page discussions on whether you'd swim faster through superglue than lava. Then we start bringing out our white-board onto a google-doc and start doing physics-problems.

ummm

for point number 1...confused myself

as for point number 2 - its a feedback loop. To allow for more flexibility one would have to supply extra sensors. However, there is a loop in the circuitry in case a section of sensors were lost. As such this 'feedback' is generated and is interpretted to be 'pain'. As it an AI, it doesn't experience true pain, just this imitation of pain. Was my thought at least...though I did write that post when I was half-asleep...

@OfWindAndRain It’s fine, it sucks that you’re leaving, but those points make sense. I have no god damn idea what I’m doing

Someone should probably draw "a map or something."

Ok, I think this thread is dead, unless literally anyone wants to make a map.

I, sadly, do not have the resources to make a map :(
