Foster — Roleplayer Guild

@TheHunter posted an application around page 15 and @Error posted his around page 2, neither managed to get here, making quick-reference to those who missed it a tad difficult.

Short form, space-time hernia because apparently several characters are supposed to be dead, probably going to edit posts, starting here, followed by notifying the next post down the line to edit accordingly until we've caught-up with our own thread.

Long form: re-read OOC starting from page 12.

We're also missing The Hunter's and Error's character-sheets.

Yeah... I had it planned and scripted about ~25 days ago and spent the better part of a week working it over to mesh with AnnaBeth's intro (before she even submitted a character).

Your hasty 1-shot post beat mine by a mere 5 hours. At least I'm hoping "run up and pistol-whip the sniper in a single post" wasn't part of your plan two weeks before you posted it. Though you usually don't discuss OOCly with TMH several days in advance of actually posting, so one cannot be sure.

Seems this RP has hit a snarl in the thread... anyone got a scissors?
(the edit-button is awesome)

Retroactive continuity for everyone!

Yes I forgot about the suppressor, I was mainly trying to get the RP to go somewhere, because it was in a stand still. Also as far as I could tell Error's character was close enough for suppression fire. And again, the RP was and kinda still is in a dead lock. I mean we have almost 70 post and we are no farther then we were weeks ago.@Remipa Awesome

Yeah... having a 2nd rifleman ambushing you two from behind already saw to ending that deadlock, problem is nobody is acknowledging that it happened.

Likewise, Error likely did not want to acknowledge the notion of being blindsided by someone an appreciable distance directly in front of him and inside his crosshairs only moments earlier.

Funnily enough, Lt Halterman was in the same situation back in 1944.

/foster is very cross at both of you.

@FosterI was talking about awesome... he metaed so hard given that one of the first posts I made was that I had a flash suppressor and he some how knew where I was even if I had one.@Error
Yeah, we chewed on him about that 3 or 4 pages ago.

Although my major gripe was in getting that close without effective suppressive-fire (a pistol is not going to do much) without getting shot, and pretty much doing within the same post (well after losing initiative) bested your man in hand-to hand, followed by bludgeoning the utter shit out of you with a four pound brick of steel.

What irked me the most was that he didn't see how such things, if done in real life, would be considered murder.

"Flash-hiders" were actually just shrouds to prevent machine-gunners from essentially being flash-banged every time they fired a round at night.

These were also used on the jungle-carbine because the Japanese tended to love night-assaults and the short-barrel made for one heck of a fireball.

The general idea was that if you were within the narrow cone where the flash of a Flash-hidden MG were visible, you wouldn't be alive to see it for very long.

Sound suppressors act as same, but to a much *MUCH* greater extent, plus reducing noise.
-General-issue Military/police "silencers" are mostly just to preserve hearing in CQB (since indoors is an echo-chamber), while special-purpose "marksman" one are beefed-up flash-suppressors with sound-damping, and then ofc there's the infamous covert/clandestine variety.

Muzzle-brakes do the exact opposite.

re-itinerating:
Military flash suppressors are designed to reduce the muzzle flash from the weapon to preserve the shooter's night vision, usually by diverting the incandescent gases to the sides, away from the line of sight of the shooter, and to secondarily reduce the flash visible to the enemy. Military forces engaging in night combat are still visible when firing, especially with night vision gear, and must move quickly after firing to avoid receiving return fire.
Some work more holistically than others.

anyways, it also doesn't help that your character-sheet isn't posted for quick-reference; even so, the write up on page 2 does not mention such attachments, and has listed weapons that historically did not at all have flash-suppressors during their service-life.

Locating your shooting position was justified in that your shooter tended to maintain a single position, and Hunter Thompson was more-or-less trained to spot such things from indicators besides simply the flash (plus, it was established that an untrained hoodlum managed to figure-out roughly where your shots were from).

Annnd im back from my tour. What I miss?@Error

We're pretty much hoping Hunter does an "oopsie" and fireman-varies your butt to safety.

Also, thanks for the misdirection bringing doubt to the friendliness of my character.

Clarification: The contingency is to OOCly assume that whoever my character is at risk of killing are simply a bunch of NPCs, and not yours and Remipa's characters getting too caught-up in themselves to notice. Their relative spacing and similar actions upon time of encounter would merely be coincidental.

Largely because there's still a pretty hefty difference of opinion as to where certain groups of people actually are ICly.

Anyways, I've worked-out with annabeth where, how, when, and why her character will appear.

*just double checking whether or not Willie has a rifle to Ashe's head at point-blank range right now.

Sooner I figure that out, the sooner I can get back to moving my character forwards.

*contingency-plan was to just pull the trigger and act like nothing happened.
