Gama OOC [Open] Episode Two in progress

[Camicon]

She's definitely going to be an interesting addition to say the least. I also love your writing style, someone with that kind of story telling might be just what gama needs to re-jumpstart the engines and get things thoroughly moving.

I hope you don't expect that out of me for every post; I spent the better part of five days editing and re-editing as it struck my fancy. Hell, I think I spent more time on that than I did on most of my uni papers this last term.

Oh no not anything that long or extreme, but just that type of dedication to the story. I think that its definitely a well deserved addition. Just be careful that Kass doesn't think you're wandering into his territory of one shots. Its just kind of his thing.

Nah. Just the one, to introduce everyone to the character. "Mysterious backstory"-types are all well and good, but they aren't particularly engaging if you don't know anything about them. That one-shot is just to get everyone interested, and help them make sense of more things as they get mentioned by Ava.

Very true. You just might have encouraged me to write a one shot into the "enigmatic" past that is Gilbert. Cause while the bio is all fine and dandy, it kinda dismisses some of the stuff that he up until me writing a one shot only theoretically went through.

Also I found this quote from a forum just a bit ago and I found it a bit relevant here. "In the future, mankind has harnessed the ability of hundred-foot walking mecha tanks, each using enormous firearms and high-tech energy weapons to take warfare to the next level... except a handful of pilots have decided to use these Armored Cores (in this case VALKS) to punch the living **** out of each other."

Hey, even tank crews have the burning desire to drive close enough to another tank so that they can hit it with their swords.

(Tank crewmen so carry swords, don't they?)

If only they did, then we'd truly be back in the old days of cavalry.

VALK's are neo-cavalry. Everyone just needs to convert to animal-shaped VALK's that have open-air cockpits, saddle-style.

I remember when I was a soldier. - old man with cane voice -

We didn't have these fancy smancy metal machines that did all the work for us. If we wanted pizzazz, we had to charge the enemy on horses ourselves.

True. I can see it now.

While many people on nationstates may be all about more modern military tech, I've always been more of a fan of the good old fashioned "honorable" brutality of old melee times.

I'll admit, as I was reading everyone's responses... my hackles went up.

All I could think was: It's on now.



Anyways, read it all and it was well done. I like it and welcome to the group. As for this particular section:

"You're insane. There's not a single person in GAMA that would work alongside her."

Welcome to Rammstein, the Cooper Party is currently busy on the shooting range so feel free to take a seat and wait to be introduced to one of Australia's most notorious VALKyrie pilots, simply for the fact that he and his father are considered likely traitors responsible for the fall of the New Sydney Fortress City.

As for you wolfie, I prefer nice clean efficient kills. Couldn't you tell from the multiple times I've exploded Josh in the face of his enemies? It's almost become a trope now... and I'm trying to decide whether or not to have him take a sim grenade and run into enemy lines if he gets the chance.

Pfft, you guys probably had stirrups and reins and bits and all that though, didn't you?
Back when I was Carthaginian we had to ride elephants into battle, with no way to control the beasts but tugging on their ears!

And just how effective was that at killing men? You survived, so obviously not effective enough. Then again, you aren't any old man, but Patton himself so it's perfectly understandable.

[The Warriors of the Sun]

Just a question I have been curious about recently, thinking about various aspects of my character and all and seeing what wold make the most sense. I asked something similar before, and I believe you said something along the lines of 90% of the world has fallen to ruin/infection, I think.

But, are there any cities remaining that can still be called cities? Something more than ruins and survivors holding out in makeshift defenses. Like maybe a place the UN or different group secured early on and has put substantial defenses around. Essentially are there any cities left where people still live "normal" lives?

[The Carlisle]

Cape town is a city, one of the walled cities in the world. A big wall in fact, to stop infected from getting in and from Proteus or terrorists from blowing it up in one swift attack.

That's the reason I sacked Rome, and you didn't.

According to Patton, he was a Carthaginian in a past life.

Thank you, that will certainly help with what I had in mind.

You wouldn't happen to know if there are anything similar in Eastern Asia, the Pacific, or Western USA/Canada would you?

Well technically Tokyo was up until about halfway through the events of the RP. It fell victim to a terrorist attack during a meeting of the UN. Other than that it's kind of a hit or miss cause some we havent fully decided on their state. The pacific islands, one would think would remain somewhat untouched due to their isolated nature, but it'd depend on just how isolated they are.

True. I can see it now.

I mean I do try, I raised myself on the tales of legends and heroes with their swords and axes and polearms.

[Vancon]

I'm much more've a fan of technology from the near future.

[Monfrox]

I will post soon, but others need to get things up in the meantime.

That's too bad, I will probably avoid mention of any of that for now, just have Singapore if I ever do mention anything about the stuff I had in mind.

But either way, thank you for the information.

Railguns plz

Railguns because sometimes we want to completely destroy the enemy before they even realize that we did anything.

[Camicon]

Railguns plz

Railguns because sometimes we want to completely destroy the enemy - and the hill behind them - before they even realize that we did anything.

FTFY.

[Ulvenes]

A normal railgun wouldn't destroy an entire hill..
