Current you know, my SO never forces me to say a thing that's on my mind and doesn't mind if I don't always explain myself which makes it way easier to actually tell them stuff. boundaries good.

as much as I'd love to pre-plan RPs, I've also noticed that's the fast track to killing them. A little planning and a rough gist is fine, but anything beyond that and people don't wanna write no more.

@Ammokkx,
Feel bad for Serah >.>


Opposite of what I was going for, but this works.
Serah's week was, for the most part, uneventful. She'd become almost numb to the daily routine of training, even with a new Sergeant in town, and her free time didn't amount to much either. Jason was too busy working on Ribasu to pay her any mind, Zim and Roger were always in training simulators, Sigma had started to ignore her... it almost felt as if she was being left out. She knew full well that it wasn't that way, but it still stung that everyone was too busy to hang out with her.

In the mission briefing Serah only half-paid attention. It wasn't because she was being apathetic at rescuing Elora- she wanted to see the girl back just as much as everyone else. No, the reason Serah was so distracted was because she couldn't help but look at everyone's faces now and again, seeing an almost completely shared gloom in their eyes. It's like nobody had any faith in themselves- in the squad. Almost as if they were predestined to fail. The girl didn't like that. It hurt to see everyone being so doubtful- even if there's good reason for it. Serah herself had full confidence in everyone's abilities, it's not like they haven't surmounted impossible odds before.

She snapped back to reality once the mission briefing was over, leaving the pilots with a little time to amuse themselves before launching it proper. Serah's eyes trailed back to two particular males in the room, who'd just stepped forward to volunteer for extra weaponry.

"Mou..."

With a small whine, the girl slipped out of the room. She felt extremely disappointed, though it was for petty reasons. The guy she wanted to spend a bit more time with had spent all his time with his machine of war. What she felt bordered dangerously close on jealousy towards said machine, jealousy of all of that boy's attention being spent on it and not everyone else... or even her.

"Not that you deserve to spend time with them."

The thoughts in Serah's head took a dark turn and the girl did her best to quickly shake them off. The moment she did, though, she spotted Jason and Zim walking out of the briefing room together. They passed by her without so much as sparing a glance, both of them too lost in thought to pay her any mind. Serah stayed quiet. She didn't want to disturb either of them, even if she did want to talk to them. They probably had other things to worry about. Things more important than her.

Serah bit her lip. She could tail the both of them, though she had a feeling she knew where they'd go anyway. They'd go to the hangar, like always, and she didn't want to go there. Not for the moment, anyway. She'd just laze around for a bit, maybe even go to the lounge. Maybe there someone would spend some time with her. It'd be nice, at the very least.


Yeah, 's good.

Darn


Sorry bud. I have too many players as is.
I'd say yeah, but simulators OP


I checked in. Seems like you'd still have time after the simulation to do something. Where there's a will, there's a way.

But aside from this joker, any other takers?
Hm... I've got my post partly written out, but like it is now Serah isn't really running into anyone, and I do want her to talk to people.

Anyone want to interact with the hyperactive goofball?

EDIT: Oh, and Devors is open too I suppose. If anyone's got something to say to him, then that's also an option.
This seems like it's turning into a spam topic. Let's not do that.

Lemme fix it by giving an experience of my own.

So, I'm the host of a Yu-Gi-Oh! RP on this site. I had this player, who I shall just name 'Player Y'. Player Y PM'd me to sign up to the RP, but had a few concerns. I'm like 'alright, I'll bite. Shoot.'

I discussed the issues they had, things went smoothly and then they pitched me the character. For anyone who's seen the original show, Player Y wanted to play a character sort of reminiscent of Kaiba, namely in the rich teenage asshole who somehow was the CEO of a multimillionare company, and had a little sister to keep him in line. They also had a backstory about a cursed card(YGO, just roll with it.) that lashed out against the audience in a tournament once, which was a burden on his heart.

This all? I actually was on board with it. Sounded cool, I liked the mechanical design of the card and it all seemed pretty solid. We go through the process of creating their character and deck, they hop on in and everything looked just peachy.

...Up until about five posts in.

Well, I should've been tipped off from the word salad that was their first post and rather... blatant copying of characteristics from the anime, but it's not like they were the worst I had. Naw, the problems started to occur when the asshole character suddenly decided to prevent someone from falling by jumping forward to catch them, doing a spin in mid-air and landing on his feet. That's some mad acrobatics right there, and it was all to prevent someone from getting tripped. The guy then proceeds to tell my character, who did the tripping by the by, off and saying they're a bad person. Just kinda shrugged it off, but then they headed over to an area that is specifically mentioned in the OP as off-limits.

Worst part is I allowed both those things to happen, and it didn't get any better from there.

A page or three further and we get to a moment where one of my players decided to have his character flirt with Player Y's sister character. Now, this sister character was a nice little cinnamon roll that wouldn't hurt a fly, aside from hitting someone with a paper fan if they acted out of line. None of this was really an issue, but it was her established character. Now, when the flirt did the flirting, this all got tossed out the window. She snapped at him, saying he doesn't understand anything about her or her pains (conversation had shifted to this, makes sense in context) and then still had the flirt escort her to her room. This would've been fine as a one-off snap, but this wasn't the case.

Sister character had turned into a nihilistic, unpleasant person who couldn't say even a single nice thing about the people around her. This was such a big 180° and came so far out of left field that almost half the players and me called Player Y out on it, but they justified by saying the nicety act was all a front and she was like this all along. Keep in mind she didn't mention any of this when pitching the character to me. Not only that, but she didn't even bother to have the sister character even *pretend* like she's nice anymore like what Player Y claims she's been doing.

From this point on Player Y shifted almost all, if not all of the focus from asshole to sister and had the character IC complain about every little thing and mistreat her cards, actively changing her favorite card into her least favorite card, yet still uses it in her deck. After about three incidents of this I said 'aight, the card's like totally not cool with this(said card was also the afformentioned cursed one) so it kinda refuses you until you treat it better'

Player throws a fit, insults me to hell and back, gets booted, PMs me still for like two weeks after and then goes silent until I get another PM a month later.

But that's a story for another time. This entire post is basically the TL;DR of it all, to get this thread back to it's original intention. g'bye.
I got a deck idea that uses this



hehe.

Edit:



Thought about it long and hard, Tuna's good.

Also, guis. Important question. Intrusion Penalty: Yes or no?

(for those who don't know: Intrusion penalty is when a third party intercepts into a duel. They take 2000 LP damage due to interfering, but then can take their turn and turn it into a Battle Royale.)
I want us to discuss strategy.


I don't.
And then I just call the Assault Pack so I can charge into things with the shield up and the extra boosters active for MAXIMUM RAMMING POWER


This guy gets it.
That is true, but I've yet to fire a projectile. And a 92% sync will be able to handle the added equipment better than 67%. In combat the experience rating allows me to, basically, force my werk to do what I want and see the flow of battle. I can still radio and advise on the flow without the fancy equipment and now I won't have to struggle with added equipment. I stand with my decision.

All that being said, @redbaron1234, you have 3 days to propose your load out and get it approved and post IC that you are volunteering.


There's more to a battle than just raw numbers and OOC info. Think, for a second. Zim has been with the crew for a longer time, garnering some trust and has had experience fighting Cruxi before. He can gauge what they're capable of and tailor his kit to that, something that red's character can't do without breaking character. And even if we do look at raw numbers, Zim's total (167%) is higher than red's total (139%).

Also, if Zim would have trouble with equipment, how would Krista feel? It's her first real battle with little experience and using foreign equipment, on an infiltration mission which is already harder than normal.

If we're talking about strategy, your argument doesn't hold up. Just be honest and say 'I want it, but if someone else wants it I don't want it' instead of flimsily trying to veil it behind strategy, because honestly Zim *is* the best choice for an assault pack, alongside Sigma.

Rule of fun, people. Overthinking things doesn't lead to anywhere, I think I proved this with firing off Atty's core at Rostosov's remains and creating a big, dumb explosion.
