Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Oh god yes, this is one of the more active High Casual-Advanced RPs I've ever been in. It's amazing.

Most RPs fall out within a week or so of starting. But with an incredibly active and dedicated group of people, two experienced GMs and an open storyline with an ending, this RP actually has a chance to become one of the long runners.

Meaning we actually finish the storyline, which is rare amongst RP's here.


I've had RPs go for literal years and not hit the ending.

I've seeeriously only finished one RP in 5 years.

Edit: I have Discord. It is super useful for RP chat, but nothing tops a good OOC.
Hey guys, just wanted to tell you I am now, officially, back from the trip so I should be able to get back to posting.


Welcome back to the Americas! I'm sure your hometown wept at your depature.
@jasonwolf Making me the overqualified authority in this matter!
So is anything happening off in the center tunnel? I mean we've got Left and Right puzzling things out but haven't heard a thing from the center group.


They ded.
Feel free to do a move along post before I do it; I'm at work and will be for the next six hours or so. Rykarn doesn't really have any questions, regardless. He's just happy to be able to bruise the Space KKK.
Fear not, Landstriders. I am quite busy this weekend, but will try to hash out a Daixanos post.


But that's what I fear most.


A crappy hanger for a tiny cliff.

You are not hyping this post very well ;D
@Leos Klien The appeal for me is the excitement leading up to the shot and the satisfaction of pulling it off. I like to take things methodically and efficiently. Hell, even playing paintball, I play with a pump action gun and am horribly outgunned, but I plot a path around the field that gets me behind the baddies. Takes longer and sometimes you get screwed, but the payoff are matches where you win without them knowing or dismantle their team piece by piece.

@BlackSam3091 Meanwhile, if I try to run and gun I get chewed apart super fast. >.>
@Leos Klien Battlefield games are great for having different bullet drops. Part of me wishes they had windage because it would mean more people playing the objectives. >.>

Sniper Elite's pretty much king of the hill for sniping games. Playing it on realistic and you have to factor in windage and drop. ARMA is another good one, although it doesn't involve windage unless 3 does, you can still shoot from a stupid long distance where a range finder is basically a job requirement. I've seen videos of guys doing like 4km kill shots... you can't even see the guy you're shooting at so they had a friend be the target lol.
<Snipped quote by Leos Klien>

she fights both close range and far range as she uses a Shotgun and a Sniper rifle nobody would ever expect it.

<Snipped quote by Dervish>

Sniper kills is rewarding in it's own way. And agreed Krogan like to head butt, shot gunned and biotically charge at their foes, might be why Turians use long range weapons most of the time lmao!

<Snipped quote by BlackSam3091>

If you think so I can give Milina a try as the way you make it sound she fits better then I thought. But I will still wait for your post before making her introduction. Asari's must always come fashionably late, after all if they come too early it might be by a few decades.


As someone who recreationally shoots around 200-400m at the gun range, it's super satisfying nailing a target the first try.

Turians are mostly about overwhelming the enemy with as much hard hitting weapons and tactics as they can muster without much of a care for collateral. They aren't afraid of much, and that includes closing with and destroying krogan.

@Dervish Keeping the fighting to a polite distance is a good idea, but just so damn impersonal. There's no other feeling in the world like beating a man too death with your own two fists, to hear the soft mewling that marks the last breath escaping from their torn lips, to see the life fade slowly from the eyeballs that you've just finished mushing into a paste, and watch the blood and brains slowly pool around the shattered carcass that used to be a person.

By the way, and this is totally unrelated, but can anyone provide me with an alibi for the evening of the twentieth?




Aside from our GMs extracurricular activities, what's everyone's best sniper kill in the ME series?
I've got two personally, one on ME1, nailed a shot from over 300 meters away which was cool asf.
And secondly, on ME multiplayer, Guy got put down by two Cerberus Dragoons, about to get executed, I rolled and pulled off a double headshot on them from one widow round, and picked the guy up.
Never felt as much as a Bad ass as that moment.


Mass Effect is pretty simplistic when it comes to sniping.

For games in general, Red Orchestra 2 I had one round of going 64-0 from around 200ish meters picking off other snipers and machine-gunners that popped up in windows, as well as taking down people trying to leave the building. I don't know how their snipers never found me, regardless if I relocated ever 2-3 kills, there's only so many places to go.

Playing Halo Reach, I managed to pick off two guys with two headshots trying to mount a Warthog, scoring another headshot of someone rushing me with a shotgun, and with the last round in the 4 round mag, took down another guy's shields and grenade killed him. I still have that clip on my 360.

My friend when playing Sniper Elite did about a 150m shot that went through two heads, hit the gas cap on a Tiger tank, blowing it up, and the explosion killed 3 other soldiers. It took him like 5 retrys to get it but it was amazing.

Same friend was also playing SOCOM 2 and while sniping, a grenade landed right in front of him, filling his entire scope to the point you could read the writing on it before it exploded and killed him.
