Bio

Greetings,

I am Jb; Briton by birth, roleplayer by my own hand, and lover of literature. I am also an amateur historian, a receiver of a Bachelors degree in Ancient and Medieval History - quite a useless degree, actually - and would like to think that I'm a fair, honest and open guy.

As far as RP'ing goes, I'm pretty open to most things really, all you need to do is ask! :)

So, if you've ever any questions for me, wish to speak about RP's involving myself or run by myself, or simply feel like a chat, don't be afraid to get in touch.

@The Lioness You have until tomorrow to post, then I conduct the staff-meeting myself. I hope that's alright, but nothing is happening and ahead we must go! After that or any time you return, you can hop back in.

Everyone else...

The treads shall begin grinding again.

@Dannyrulx That is my thinking also.

@Rultaos It will, and thanks for waiting, 'preciate it.
Moving is SO MUCH FUN!


No.

@Quinntessential @BCTheEntity @DrunkasaurusRex @Hank@TemplarKnight07

Righto, internet is back up, so a response will be coming...I'd say Wednesday will probably be my blanket posting day.
Apologies, @Jbcool.

I'm going to be frank for a second and admit that I've had some difficulty finding my groove for this roleplay. I was expecting a different atmosphere when it comes to the Imperial Guard. Contrary to my expectations, we ended up with a collection of oddities and miscreants and... yeah. I don't know. I'm not really feeling it, if that makes any sense.


I understand, but I'd ask that you stick with it, we're not even a unified (or cohesive) unit yet and developments are in the works that will hopefully iron that out. Feel free to PM me about what's particularly bugging you if it's really that bad.

First we get people saying how fast the posting is going, then, once it dies down, we get complete silence. For shame.

Anyway, this is just a post to say that the Omnissiah has granted me internet once more, and that this RP will be proceeding (within the next two days) whether people like it or not. There is neverto do in the Guard, always something you could be doing or posting about without having to move the plot forward, and we have thirteen people - minus a couple due to issues with the weather - so why are people's characters simply standing about?

I don't consider myself to be a tyrannical GM, but a week without (almost) any posting just seems like a wasted week to me.

So...

Those that need to get to the CC's tent should probably get there, while those that are not privy to her company can just as easily interact or go and spit-polish their boots and press their uniforms. Imagine this to be a very drawn out version of TT 'Only War' - what would you character be doing? Who would they be speaking to? What actions would you take and play out?

Lastly, I realise people are busy - I just did a week of night shifts myself - but all I ask is maybe an hour where you can sit down and just type out a post that keeps things smoothly going along. No need to leap forward in time, just a gradual pace to where they need to be. It is a hobby, not a job, after all, but for a GM to come back to his RP and find so little movement. Eh.

Thanks for reading this miniature rant, and yes, I'll get things rolling again soon; if you've any questions then please do ask.

The Emperor Protects.
@NecroKnight Not sure what you're getting at...as realistic as it can get for a fecked up sci-fi universe, yes.

@mackielars Don't be dismayed, posting is still pretty slow. :)

@Andreyich Right...

@Dannyrulx No worries.
I'll also get this thing shifting again, because as much as I appreciate that people need time to post, I also know that long periods of laxity cause RPs to die; I suggest the meeting of underofficers and the Company-size inspection get going soon.
Question J, who are we going up against?
We getting deployed in front of a new hive fleet?
Sent to the Damocles front for another brushfire war with the Tau?
Ambushed by some webway raiders?
Daemon incursion?
Give us a clue dammit!


Half the fun is NOT telling you, just like the real Guard.

@Andreyich Just tone it down, again. Can't threaten to kill everyone you meet, you're in the Guard now, and I'm not a GM who is afraid to kill off characters for idiocy - hard ass or no.

Will have have Chaplain Jack O'Malley up soon...work and pack on internet are just making my Emperor-given duties harder than I'd like.
Just to say, I am alive and I am watching...

@Andreyich You were the only Frateris there, but the others will likely be conscripted into other regiments as well. Nor Shit uld he really refer to them as an 'organization' as they are anything but.
