Of Grades And Grenades: Eureka Academy(OOC/RE-OPENING)

[Saestea]

Uhh... Whose characters aren't doing anything right now?.. My other OC is idling... I just can't have that...

[The Templar High Council]

Alright. Korea's either left the RP without a word, or otherwise incapacitated. I saw him in a different RP recently, so it's the former. I'm going to pretend Lee got lost from now on.

TG him first.

Already tried. When Tri announced the requisitions for the sim. Nothing.

Make sure to have Aiden comment on how high Ryan is.

[Corrian]

Now after looking at planes, I kinda have a thing for the F-86 Sabre, so I hope we do get an opportunity at some point where that thing actually works in a simulation or whatever. It's a cool little plane

Yeah, if we're talking military related stuff, I definitely have more of a thing for planes than anything else. No wonder my character is a pilot

My character actually sorta originated off of an old character of mine, though my new character is absolutely nothing like my old character. But I got the idea when thinking about my character who flew a small fighter spaceship, so the logical progression there was a fighter pilot in this RP. I was gonna use her appearance as well until I was reminded there was an age limit. I kinda like how things have turned out in my head this way more then the brief original ideas I had to try and come up with something, anyway

[Vancon]

No post from me today I'm afraid.

I was watching an 8 hour stream of XCOM.

It just finished.

I'd get bored of a stream after 8 hours

Or more like after 30 minutes or so.

Well, depends the type. I watch some game videos, but more to get myself interested in a game than anything.

Same here. Some personal shit went down with an acquaintance of mine, and it needed dealt with immediately. Anywho, I'll post when I get back from work tomorrow.

If need be, just assume that Jason gets out of his room, finds Callandra, and the two of them head out to Navarone. Cal can ask him as many questions as she desires, and I'll have his replies when I get back.

Again, sorry guys. But RL is shit sometimes...

[Corrian]

Real life sucks

I'm patient. I can do other things while waiting.

But trust me, I know how much real life sucks sometimes. 2014 has been a pretty awful year for my family.

I could say the same, but here is a different world. Here we are equals no matter what happens outside, except for the mods. And the Admins. And the Mentors.

Fixed that for you.

[New Jordslag]

Sorry for not posting lately. I'll post when I can.

[Republic of Hasgriu]

According to the poll right now, the next combat arc will be in the 1800's, which means I get to ride horses~

[TriStates]

This post will be updated as a drag more questions and info from the pages. This will replace update six under the Announcment post, so I hope you all read the last one.

Update #7

OP here and back to the basics.

The Poll - Early-voting poll declares 19th Century as the winner with 21st Century as the runner up. Both of these will be under consideration. When decided, CO-OPs and I will throw up a specific war poll. Theres no set time for that, so we'll all have to put our patience hats on.

Archive - We have 20 characters. But only 16 posts in the archive. In case people didn't know, I want all apps in that thread. First, second and however many more characters you have. Not just your main. I like you guys, but not enough to go surfing +80 plus pages every time I need PC info. I will start calling names out in front of the class if this isn't fixed.

Recap - Just a reminder for combat. I already had this chat with you guys, and me and the CO-OP's discussed it, but I wanna emphasize. Realism. I love it. Rambo-ism. I hate it. Its like RP-cancer. Its gross to see, you can't always fix it, and you don't want it.
Now I won't penalize for lack of knowledge. I don't expect the average RPer to know every radio callsign ever, or the difference between a MRE and a K-ration. Cause I only found out last night. That said, there is always Google... Just a suggestion.

Recap - Another reminder. The CO-OP's and I are here to assist in helping you with combat-izing your posts. If you have a question or a request, even if its not about combat, feel free to TG us. We, or at least I, love a full inbox.

OP To-Do List

• Lore Update
• Finalizing NPC's
• Moving the IC Along
• Prepping Next RomCom Arc
• Prepping Next Combat Arc

The Watercooler: Eurkea Question, Comment, Answer Segment

We could potentially be some of them.

Okay?
I don't think that'll happen though. Unless you break realism.

To be a true realist, is to realize that death is a reality.

That means I won't be dick and kill off half the PC's on a whim. But people are going to die eventually. Would suggest you guys take Saesta's & Icrum's example, and double up on characters

Alright, I have one general question that I think has been vaguely touched on, but I want to know for sure. How does the rooming arrangements work for the different years?

This is how I personally see it in my head:
Freshman: They all get thrown into the barracks together, sleeping in bunk beds spread out all in the room in various different areas

Sophomore: They get their own dorm-like rooms.

Junior: They get their own apartments if they so choose.

Just what I got in my head, anyway.

Of course this is subject to change in the simulations themselves.

I believe it goes by ranks, regardless of age or level. Both of those things would help, but it's mainly your rank that will allow you out of the stinky old barracks.

We all need to talk about this. CO-OP's, Group TG me when you have time. Since my schedules more open then yours, I'll almost always be on here.

Note that when I say Ryan smells like weed, I mean he smells like a fucking cannabis farm.

"Its come to our attention that some Cadets wanna smoke spice. But you don't fuckin' rate! If we can't smoke spice, then you can't smoke spice!"

Whats this make anyway, like 3 druggies in this school now?

Alright. Korea's either left the RP without a word, or otherwise incapacitated. I saw him in a different RP recently, so it's the former. I'm going to pretend Lee got lost from now on.

As I stated, I TG'd him, and he told me he had a cold and life probs. Of course, its nearing, or already is, the 5 day mark. I'll give him till the end of the day to show. I already outfitted his character, so I might as well not waste my work.

If he's still a no show, then we have our first washout of STAG.

No post from me today I'm afraid.

As far as military lingo goes, Arma is my favorite game, so I'm relatively versed.

I was always a big military film fan, which helps. And I guess 4 years in the Navy ROTC has its benifits

For anyone who isn't versed in Military slang, here is a helpful link.

Not too well-versed in Korean War military doctrine, but I will probably do fine. I'll tv Van if I am ever confused. BTW, Tri, Van said he tged you with an updated Leviathan roster

I'll remind Terintania when she wakes up to post her app there.

You and I both. Which is why I dislike so many action movies.

New RomCom, eh?

*Holds character close* Nobody's touchin' mah character!

I'm enjoying only having one character in this RP, so if my character does die for real, I'll just make a new one then.

I think you deserve 13 hours of straight sleep

I'm gonna start doing some Wikipedia research today I think.

My military film knowledge is pretty much Black Hawk Down, my favorite war film. Also probably my favorite soundtrack ever.

But overall I don't have interest in military stuff, which is why this RP will be interesting for me as a change . Other knowledge just comes from video games and brief stuff I heard here and there.

Most FPS games other than Arma are not an accurate representation of actual military lingo.
