I don't know if i've every seen anyone create a comfortable character that they enjoyed in a School RP.

@Vilageidiotx

I wrote one seriously fucked-up kid in a powers school RP once. The first post was fantastic -- some of my best ever. Everything after that was god awful.

What do you call traffic through a harbour which does not accept the harbour-gender it was assigned at birth?

What do you call a post-op Ruskie string quartet?

Hand-me downs from the stuff the Airforce got bored with using?

@Dinh AaronMk

basically it's like..... the F-18 and the F-16 both come out around the same time. Air Force looks at them both and says, "We love this F-16, and we think the Hornet is a piece of shit, and it doesn't perform, and we hate it, and it can go to hell." And the Navy said "Well I guess we'll take 1000 of those then."

Mostly the thing of it is, Navy's air fleet is falling apart from old age and ocean air and all the gay Navy buttsex and whatnot.

I was told airplanes. So if the USAF doesn't have shit equipped for carriers then he may or may not actually be air force, but maybe some sort of Navy version. I will need to inquire further when I get the chance next.

@Dinh AaronMk

Navy and Marines both have their own pilots -- in fact the Navy had at one point (for several years) more planes than the Air Force. Shittier planes, but planes.

In all seriousness I got a cousin who is a pilot in the AF currently. He flies shit on and off aircraft carriers and his chill as fuck. Unfortunately I ever really seem to see him when it comes to family gatherings.

@Dinh AaronMk

Helicopters, surely? None of our planes (to my knowledge anyway) are built for tailhooks.

Don't lie: you know they're trying to keep themselves entertained. Being restrained to an armchair is not as amazing as being "muh spaec muh-reene beech sturmenfuhrer git sum seempur fidelus".

@Dinh AaronMk

True, but speaking from personal experience, there's no better feeling in the world than strapping 30,000 pounds of thrust on your back and pretending the clouds are star destroyers.

You're just mad because you know they're right. American soldiers are garbage and blind patriotism is the cancer killing this country.

@Jorick

American Airmen, though, are fabulous.

RPGC #3 -- Voting AND Discussion

<Snipped quote by RomanAria>

I got halfway through a story about a couple in an alternate universe, Solresol-speaking, 1940's India (that was at war with France) who were named after geological formations. It was going to be a metaphor for the atomic bombings. I dropped it because writing dialogue in a language you don't know is hard, and I am incapable of writing male characters unless they are involved in Space WWII.

@Keyguyperson

that's an oddly specific mental condition.

How did you find bootcamp, by the way?

@KeysOfKayes

Mine was different from what you'll probably see, because I went through the Air Force Academy and it's mostly run by upperclassmen there with just a few real actual boot sergeants roaming around. It was physically tough no matter what kind of shape you're in, and they play mind-games on you nonstop, but nothing there will kill you. If you go all-in and keep that attitude you'll do fine. Be a team player, they love that shit.
