Hey everyone--

Just a heads up, I work the dreaded "Let Me Put a Gun in My Mouth" 2pm-1am shift tonight, so there's a good chance I won't be on at all today after this. If I get lucky and get cut early, I'm going to take the recent slowdown in the IC to mean we're good to move to the train.

We'll be moving soon you animals!

I don't get it

What exactly are you having a difficult time understanding?

Basically, people post ideas for stories, which are written collaboratively post-by-post. Take a look at some topics to get a feel for whats going on.

Also, I just wanted to say, I really like your guys' ideas for Philly. I was thinking something in a VERY different direction, but I think your Amish ideas are way more interesting. Good job guys. I'd like to run with that.

Sorry but i am wondering if my guy is accepted?

Calm down brother, I can't be on this website 24/7. I just got off work and am catching up on PMs and posts.

As for your character, I'm still not really convinced. While I appreciate that you edited and cleaned up your writing from the first attempt, there's still no paragraph formatting, and it's still a really sparse, and to be frank, boring bio. Read through some of the other character bios. My character has an entire back story going back to his childhood.

Dallas is an estranged NCR ranger looking for a lost love. Poe is essentially a living nightmare who happens to be a brilliant technician and explosives expert. Barnabus the Hunter Extraordinaire's bio wasn't long, but it was creatively done. Sweet Gin has literally thousands of words in her backstory, and while I don't expect that, I need more than just a couple paragraphs.

I'm not asking for anything crazy, but I want people involved who are going to put effort in their posts. If you can show me REAL effort and keep that writing level up, I'll reconsider, but as of right now, I'm gonna say no.

Also Witty, awesome ideas man, I like the way your brain works. I especially like the warring Brahmin herders idea, and the Portland jumpers. They can be wearing skinny jeans and scarves.

Sorry Lone, good point, I totally forgot about that. I guess since your character isn't specifically a doctor it slipped my mind. Between Hayley and Ellie we should be good then medically, though I'd still be happy to have a full on M.D. on board for major surgeries. Or maybe like a survivalist/holistic healer type to help make use of local flora for medicines. Either way though, thanks for pointing that out to me, I totally would have forgotten otherwise.

As for the obstruction issue, I was gonna save this for when I introduce the trolley, but we can just do it now.

Basically, the trolley is going to be 4 trains long. The front train is the control room/war room. On the "face" of the trolley is going to be a large cattle catcher to move smaller obstructions. For larger obstructions, the trolley has a built in proximity detection system to bring it to a slow in the event of a catastrophic collision. So, if a building did fall over the tracks, the proximity sensor would bring the train to a stop, and then we'd use Scrap and Poe to probably just blow holes through it while everyone else worked security/investigated the area.

The 2nd trolley (which is actually a retcon now that I'm looking back at it) is going to be bunks. Basically a gutted trolley car with bunks along the walls and a long table through the center with folding chairs stacked in the corners to save space.

The third car is research and manufacturing, where certain advanced machines needed by Poe and Hayley will be housed, as well as reloaders, workbenches, and tool cabinets.

The final car is storage. Basically a place for equipment, bags, salvage, prisoners, bulk ammo, etc.

The train will have gatling lasers mounted to roof of the top and rear cars. Windows in the cars slide open and can be fired from in the event hostiles pursue the train or attack it's sides. Tenpenny has ensured the train's sides were reinforced to be bullet and explosion resistant. It's not invincible.

I think that's all I had for the train. I'll edit if I think of anything else. If anyone else has interesting ideas for the train, feel free to throw in.

Yeah, the end of the Green Line is going to be a marathon of cities, so we'll need to be interesting and fresh. Some stuff has canon, like Pittsburgh and Chicago, and I know we already have some plans for New York. But there is still Detroit, Cleveland, and Philly we'll need to flesh out as well.
