The desire to join an RP instead of run one, but the lack of anything being advertised or open that fits my interests

Why are people posting 1x1 'looking for' threads in the main section, when there's a whole section for 1x1 RP's?

It'd be nice to be able to *play* an RP I'm interested in for once, rather than having to *run* one all the time. Of course, doesn't help that I'm picky about what I enjoy.

Hmmmmm... PM inviting me to an RP on Discord by a user who just joined the site and has no posts? Doesn't sound iffy at all, no sir.

Bio
I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly. I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists. I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom. Or *shudder* school RPs...
I have a lot of fandoms; Transformers, Macross, MLP: FiM, Fallout, Battletech, Ace Combat, and others to varying degrees. But I don't often join fandom RPs because the ones I'm into don't come up, or I am very picky about my RPs and their plots and feel.
I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating. I like a lot of depth, story, setting and character to my RPs, so am usually found in Casual and sometimes Advanced. Though, usually running my own RPs.
I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time. I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones, robots or synthetics, or some hybrid of both.
Outside of my RP tastes and hobby; I read a lot of books, play wargames and TTRPGs, make model aircraft and vehicles, and am also a brony and furry. I have been running a large local furmeet group for the last 10 years and have been involved in running a very successful UK MLP convention.
Well, it's fortified, innit? With various constructed defensive works, such as barricades and heavy weapons positions, as well as various vehicles and whatnot. Enemy GEARs, and vehicles would be concentrated there, as well as their communications gear. I'm not really sure how else you want me to describe it, or elaborate. We're not facing a military force, and it's a training exercise, after all. And if I just tell you exactly what you're going to see each time, you might as well just copy and paste everything from this topic into your own posts.
I thought it was pretty clear from the earlier IC posts. It's a fortified civilian structure, a former farm and its' related buildings that's been taken over by the opposition force to use as a HQ. The main point of the recon is to establish their numbers, where the 'hostages' are, and what defences they have. You can decide that stuff if you like - though remember the oppo force is representing bandits and renegades rather than a military force, so most of their stuff is likely to be improvised and older models than current military-spec gear and equipment.
Ridlins has dropped out, saying they're not interested any more, so Winter - yer back in the game :) I'll put your CS in the OP, and once this training exercise is over, I'll introduce you and Slypheed at the same time. Sorry you have to sit tight for a bit, but introducing you both right now would be a litle disruptive to things. Still, we shouldn't be too long if this pace keeps up.
Aristo, that's fine - I was expecting you to do just that, and it'll keep things moving smoothly. I would've replied earlier - but no e-mail notifications to let me know you'd replied! >.<
Sure, if it's extant tech, then I have no problem with it at all. The caliber fits nicely, and if your GEAR is designed as a GEAR-buster then it works in that regard too. It's also a significant threat to most other things too, short of a Landcruiser or head on against an MBT... but then, if any of us are throwing ourselves in front of MBT's, then we're doing it wrong anyway.
I've sent Ridlins a message, since we haven't heard a peep from him/her on GEARs for over a month, despite their posting in other threads. If they are dropping out, then I'll hand that spot over to you, and introduce your character and Slyp's at the same time.
Regarding the armament, yeah - if you wouldn't mind dropping the railguns to something like saboted cannon of some kind - they'd have to be significantly smaller caliber than tank guns, as GEARs are too small and light to handle the recoil from 100+mm cannon. But you could go for something like an Electrothermal propellant cannon to get an increased speed, or rocket-assisted projectiles or something at around 60-70mm or so? That'll give more than enough whack for anti-GEAR ops.
I'm going to edit my post anyway, as I've contradicted my own plan, and I did realize I hadn't given you anything to do, so I'll amend it to include that as well. I'll probably send you off to give the Recon team fire support with those GEARs.
EDIT: I've edited the post to give Ken some orders, and to solve the contradictions in my own post :P
