OOC Thread: Trouble Aboard Urbanna Air Flight 5115

[ViZion]

Here's our OOC thread so as not to risk overrunning the RP thread with OOC posts.

Role play thread

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

Thanks ViZion; I was wondering why this RP didn't have its own OOC Thread.

[ViZion]

Palpatinist Coruscant... what happened in that Hotel thread?

[ViZion]

haha ya, once I saw your OOC post, I thought "oh no... not gonna happen here..." lol

[Kurona]

good idea

Palpatinist Coruscant... what happened in that Hotel thread?

It was supposed to be a character-based RP loosely based the Rwandan Genocide, but most of its participants were mainly concerned with kicking militia (or peacekeeper) ass. I was one of the few RPers in that thread who actually played the part of a helpless group of people.

[ViZion]

ahh haha well as I mentioned in the first post, only looking to have people RP as passengers... and trust me, AB and I will ensure people don't try and throw this RP off.

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

Well, he is only 14 and wants to travel with normal people his age. He is a very formal Head of State.

One would think that a kid smart enough to become a head of state (not to mention his bodyguards) would know that the risks of flying on an airliner (getting attacked by a random yokel, which can throw the government of his country in disarray for some time if such an attack renders the leader incapable of preforming his job, or worse) far outweigh any possible benefits (traveling with normal people).

Trust me, no one's kicking the terrorist ass right off the bat - unless they want some innocent children knifed and eviscerated before the whole plane.

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

Well, Comaack is a small enough country that most wont recognize him. Many people have heard of him and is quite famous, but not many know what he looks like. King of like how no one knows what the President of Austria or Germany looks like.

Nonetheless, we don't hear about how the leaders of Austria and Germany exploit their ability to remain anonymous in order to fly on airliners. The inability to control the crowd around their boss should be giving your bodyguards an absolute nightmare at the very least, and the assumption that most people wouldn't be able to identify your 14-year-old leader shouldn't be relied on at all, especially in the event there's an assassin who does know how your guy looks like.

In any event, at least describe how those Secret Service guys from Comaack know just how much of a potentially dangerous position their leader is in.

14-year-old leader wow

[Almajoya]

Hey guys, we're kind of stuck in the RP thread. Anyone wanna put the plane in the air?

Edit: Thanks!

[Kim Jong-ilia]

Can anyone just join in the RP without asking? I want to join in.

[Amazonian Beasts]

Kim Jong: ViZion cleared ya to join via our IM, I'm the messenger...

[City of Norfolk]

so do we need permission to join? I don't want to take up posting space without clearance.

ViZion's call since the airplane is already in the air, but I think you should be fine. I'll see what he says when he gets back on AIM here...

[ViZion]

You two are welcome to join. I'll leave it open for tonight, but tomorrow it will close as the action sets it.

[Hamilay]

Ugh. Is it possible to have a terrorism RP on a civilian airliner without a whole bunch of soldiers suddenly waving their guns around? It's supposed to be full of families and holidaymakers for crying out loud.

Comaack, I'm looking at you. Kim-Jong Ilia, too, how on earth did you smuggle a gun aboard.

You do realise Comaack that your post is also a) godmodding AB's terrorists and b) makes no sense (as your agents appear to be profoundly incompetent and hand injuries don't work that way)

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

First rule of terrorist RPs: expect many of the people that sign up to RP as military/police personnel, even if off-duty. Apparently, most non-diplomatic characters must be ready to act like action-movie stars at all times.

[Hamilay]

The terrorists are asking for all the passengers' personal possessions? How are they going to deal with 200 carry-on bags, especially if they're all stacked in a huge pile at the front of the plane?

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

Typical.... Mr. President just had to summon his fighter aircraft. Time for the terrorists to waste another load of passengers methinks, including Mr. President.

[New Greston]

Good idea, cap the President, his girl friend, his guards, and that guy from Kim Jong Ilia

[Palpatinist Coruscant]

Kim Jong Ilia's character hasn't done anything serious enough to justify getting wasted yet, unlike that brat of a president.

[Amazonian Beasts]

Oh, wouldn't it be more painful for Mr. President to watch his woman die in his arms...painfully?

[Amazonian Beasts]

Actually, he offered his own life in exchange for the passengers to live.

Which is why I'd rather make him suffer through the deaths he's about to cause...
