Guardian's thinking he's going to need a bigger gun but he's got everything out of this breifing that he wants - now he just want's a quiet word with the mage - away from officer country.

Let's kick this pig along.

Paul, can we schedule some IRC time soonish? I'll need some help with my FRAG order - being all non-military-like in real life - and I have a document you might be interested in.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sat Nov 09, 2002 3:42 pm

Indeed. I am available after ten Pm tonight and tommorrow, as well as having Monday and Tuesday off.

Monday I need to got o Troy at about noon or so, and will be there for a while but should be home by eight at the latest. Pm with what your desired time frame and I will try and reply as soon as I can.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Tue Nov 12, 2002 7:35 pm

Okay an last minute questions should go here. Team Leaders you have the entire breifing packet, generally speaking it will be in electronic form for ease of use. Any questions you have just put them down and I will answer them.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Tue Nov 19, 2002 10:37 pm

Right. No questions?

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Tue Nov 19, 2002 10:56 pm

I've got one. Has anyone seen Rico lately?

Droz starts looking about for any Aztechnology 'headhunters'.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Tue Nov 19, 2002 11:08 pm

I'm here. School, work, and impending finals have kinda chipped away at my checking time, but I'm keeping up-to-date with the goings on. Once I get the post drafted, and to my own satisfaction, I'll slap it up. Might even be as soon as tonight

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Tue Nov 19, 2002 11:08 pm

Seriosu Paul wonders what happened as well.And then you posted as I was posting.

Okay the Teams are officially seperated.

Whassat mean?

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 4:32 am

It means your threads are independent of each other. Team Gold posts to Team Gold, Blue to Blue. You each controlt he pace of your teams. Or lack there of.

Wrong account I know, but fuck it. Question 1...Earl, are you actually waiting for Geist? And if so, can I hear from Johnny or Mace if we're dismissed, so I can start that conversation? Question 2....Paul, when can I find time to talk with you on IRC, or would email/PM work better?

FlameBlade · Post by **FlameBlade** » Mon Dec 09, 2002 6:25 am

I'm trying to figure out what XO means...I'm sorry, but I'm military illiterate.

I don't have time to write it up now, but I do have a post in the Mental Works. Should be able to work on it at about 10:00, when my Server class comes up. The post will be up by noon, one way or another.

I wanted to use the Number Two example, but of course, that just leads right back to the hilarious Beavis and Butthead short.

"Number Two, go take a Number One."

Nope. I was really just waiting for the game to start up again, really, but then I stopped waiting.

Nevermind then.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 2:16 am

Okay.

As it stands this is where we are:

Team Blue: Jeff is withdrawing from the team, and the game. This leaves you with a gaping hole in your team. Now what I need to know is any one else wanting out? From either Team?

Also Team Blue you guys are dead stalled. Team Gold is only slightly ahead of you, but with Caz getting ready to put their FRAg order up, they will be off and running.

So what we have is a hole, and several options:

1. Fill Jeff and any one elses spots with new players. Keeps both teams independent of each other.

2. Fold Blue into Gold and have one team. This has its risks, mainly being the whole game could stall.

3.Fold Blue Team, and I run them as NPCs.

4.You give me a different option.

Okay I need your input.

FlameBlade · Post by **FlameBlade** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 1:41 pm

Big Thanks to Anguirel and Cazmonster for helping me through FRAG order.

Anguirel · Post by **Anguirel** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 3:29 pm

You're welcome. Sidenote: I haven't really read much of these threads, but if you need a rigger to fill a hole, I'll be happy to join in. Actually, I might consider any role, I just happen to really enjoy being a rigger.

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 4:18 pm

Personally, Team Blue seems to have some issues and I wonder if they're going to be able to get the ball rolling. I realize this has been a very slow game in this stage but there's not been any real interaction on the part of Team Blue.

I believe Team Blue should become NPC's. I don't like to say that, but they're supposed to be going in ahead of Team Gold and they are behind us in getting ready for it.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 5:19 pm

Replace Jeff, I say, and if Blue doesn't roll, fold them and do whatever with them.

I'm ready to go. I have characters in my inbox from Jinx. That's it. I need characters in my e-mail inbox from EVERYONE ELSE, PLEASE. Thank you. [I know some of you PMed me, but I need the e-mails, please. Thanks!]

Big Jim · Post by **Big Jim** » Thu Jan 09, 2003 8:35 pm

I'm not sure if there's still a waiting list for this, but if not I would be happy to step into Team Blue. Assuming there even is a Team Blue still, of course.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 2:37 am

I don't know if there's a point. My last post hasn't even been responded to, and I don't even check to see if it's up anymore, I know that's bad, but I think Cazmonster is right. Make us NPC's and let the shits fall where they may.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 6:05 am

Not that my opinion really matters much, as I'm the one dropping, but I vote an AYE! for Caz's suggestion. We seem to be the slacker group here.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 12:21 pm

Does anyone else from Team Blue have /anything/ to say? Because if not, I'd say they're allde factoNPCs, and Paul may as well take over.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 10:01 pm

Give me till monday to get an answer from the team. An e-mail went out, and I laid the problem out for them. I'll have an answer for you by monday.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 10:01 pm

damn slacker Internet Explorer.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Fri Jan 10, 2003 11:28 pm

The problem was laid out for us already, Rico, there's no point in beating a dead horse that will stall in a week and a half anyway.

FlameBlade · Post by **FlameBlade** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 2:32 am

And besides, there are FRAG order to outline still.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 2:46 am

Eli, you, and Scamp may be still checking the topic, but that doesn't mean that Nex and Mace are. I sent the e-mail out to cover all my bases. I assume that you're logging your vote for "NPC". Of course, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Nexusvoid · Post by **Nexusvoid** » Sun Jan 12, 2003 4:49 am

Actually I've been paying close attantion to all three topics. I just haven't seen any reason to post other than saying "Cinder just sits there."

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 4:27 am

Okay lets see if this is correct:

Jeff and Eli: Fold Blue Team

Mace: No reply yet.

Rico: Will reply later today, or rather Monday.

Nex: No actual vote

Scamp: No reply

3278, Flame and Caz, who aren't actually Blue team vote fold team Blue as well.

I want everyones anser before I rule.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:06 am

Well, if most of Blue Team is out, that leaves a couple options, in my mind. One is to merge the remaining members of Blue team into Gold and run with that (certain members got called off on another assignment or something_, or just get rid of player control of Blue Team altogether (the NPC route). Personally, I'd like to give it a go as Wraith, but I can understand wanting to just NPC everyone.

Wildfire · Post by **Wildfire** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 7:28 am

If I have to vote, I guess its fold Blue, as Caz has already worked out Gold's frag, adding people would really confuse things.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 5:36 am

Well, I held out till the last moment, and then some. I have heard nothing from Mace, and, through a combination of E-mail and Postings here, I have heard from the remaining three members of Blue Team. I've dropped a PM to Caz about the possibility of folding the remaining members into Gold Team. Once I have a difinitive answer of whether it will be possible or not, I'll decree the fate of Blue Team. Knowing a slight bit about Caz's response time, I should have an answer in the next 24 -48 hours.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 2:41 pm

Well, that's a fine idea, although I'm curious why you'd e-mail Caz, and not the Gold Team leader - me - or the GM - Paul.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 2:48 pm

Because Caz's the one making the FRAG list. If it was going to be too much of a pain in the ass to modify it for one more, Blue team would have folded.

Cazmonster · Post by **Cazmonster** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 5:35 pm

There is no reason why the Frag List cannot be adjusted to accept additional team members. It will be the work of fifteen or twenty minutes to adjust it.

JohnnyRico · Post by **JohnnyRico** » Wed Jan 15, 2003 1:59 am

Right. Now that that point is all nice and clear, Paul, Earl, Is it possible to work out the plot points that would allow Wraith to join up with Gold team?

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 6:00 pm

Team Blue is officially complete. In the intrest of fairness, no one will be intergrated into Team Gold. Team Blue will become NPCs as far as this game is concerned.

I'd like to offer my apologies to everyone who divested themselves of alot of free time to participate. Sorry this gaming experience wasn't so good.

Feel free to email me or PM me with comments.
