And I have posted. Still heavy in CD. Until the battle happens, there's not much else I feel I can do on that front >.>

Also, for the people who read my posts, I'd like to get some constructive criticism. Too much of the time I feel I get a "good job" but not enough people are willing to tell me if there's something I need to change or should consider changing.

Therefore, I ask all of you who read my posts to freely message me and give me your thoughts on my writing. I personally want to get better, and I want to hear people's opinions on what I do. Be brutally honest. I can take it.

That's a great attitude Avalar!  The writing in this club is great, but there is always some way we can get better (if we were perfect writers we'd all be signing book deals with Random House right about now!).

Also, for anyone applying to the DJO, it is best to get used to constructive criticism.  So yes, if you want specific feedback, let it be known as Avalar has done!

/me waves his hand.

I am not here...

Just popped in to jump off of what Serpent said: the quality of writing around here is astonishingly high, especially since the Navy reforms began about 2 years ago.  Higher standards, introduced gradually and intelligently, have inspired everyone to get better, rather than forcing people out.  You guys are collectively writing at a level far exceeding expectations, and I'm really, really proud of all of you.

But what makes you even more impressive, and indeed, what allows the bar to always rise a little higher (and what therefore makes the Navy more and more like the DJO every day), is what Avalar just asked for: earnest, respectful critique of your fellow members' work.  If someone asks, please: offer your criticisms of their writing.  For now, it's best to keep the discussions private, and on-demand only; giving constructive criticism is a skill, as is graciously accepting critiques.  But, please, I can't encourage such exchanges enough. 

/me waves hand again.

Remember my words, not my presence.  Carry on.

Working on an Imperial Dominion NPC post right now, so will post in the next 12 hours.

However, just a heads up.  As I feared it would be, March is proving to be a pretty hectic month for me.  My activity is probably going to diminish, but for now I am still around and still posting.  If things get worse (as, towards the end of the month, I expect they will ) I may declare myself on leave for a week or two to get things sorted.

It seems a lot of people around here are going to be busy this month, eh?

I'm sure I've said it before, and I'll say it again (not trying to be too big for my boots here):

If anyone wants a certain storyline, or post, or whatever, written, but they don't have the time to do it, I'm more than willing. All I'd need is some details about the people involved, and what you'd like to happen, and I'll go knock something together. :P

Other than that ... when's the fighting going to start?

Indeed that was your 15th, Hades, and I just made my 15th too!

We are now at 84 posts, my friends, and as ever I am keeping a careful eye on the stats.  Come the 100 post mark I shall paste them here for all to see!

As for your question, Gurlanin, I have a feeling that the action will be coming soon!

Okay people, IT IS TIME!!!!

Trick has given me permission to kick this story into its final phase, so I have done.

The pulsar has gone active and the Vast Empire has lost communications and sensors.  Using Verpine slaves with telepathy, the Imperial Dominion has the ability to co-ordinate, and they have now struck against our force at Gwodd LK Nale.

There is no way to give orders, so there are none.  All co-ordination across the Second Fleet has broken down so we are all quite truly on our own.  Do what you feel your characters would do in a crisis!

That said, let's keep up the discssion on our threads.  Just because our characters are not talking does not mean we shouldn't.  We will need to talk to know where everyone is and what we are all doing, so our stories don't end up contradicting each other.

Let's get to the combat!

Almost forgot, the list of enemy ships!

Just to be clear, this is the exact same fleet we fought at the Bloodmoon in Counterpunch: War.  For sake of simplicity here is the Imperial Dominion strength as it was at the end of that battle (minus Captain Vrail's Scythe with is now being used in the VENI subplot at Tilsec Prime):

ISD I Virulent
ISD I Reactionary - Flagship, Captain Ramius Raizo
VicStar2 Bombastic
VicStar2 Ravisher - Commander Rand Ilusan
VicStar2 Punisher
VicStar2 Rager
6 unnamed Nebulon-Bs
2 unnamed Lancers
1 unnamed Enforcer
1 unnamed Tartans
3 unnamed CR90s

Any other questions just post here or PM me!

Just to clarify -- Vrail's Scythe was destroyed in the Battle for Bloodmoon; sabotaged by Hades.

He now commands the Bombastic, which has been sent back to Tilsec Prime due to its poor state of repair

Great question.  And the answer is no!  The ID cap ships will NOT have full fighter contingents.  They're hurting in the starfighter department, with many vacancies, and many standard TIEs.

I should be back soon, folks.    Great posts, everyone.  And thanks for picking up the baton, Serpent... couldn't have written it better myself.

Thanks Trick!  Glad you approve!

And sorry about the confusion there, Hades.  I thought it looked a bit wrong as I typed it, but I was kind of in a rush to get to work!  My bad!

I am now working on my next post.  Let's get to the combat chaos my friends!

I'll handle some NPC posts from the 128th's perspective, and maybe introduce a new enemy Squadron as well just for Death.

Stay tuned.

No problem, Serpent!

Dunny, please run it by me before you post an engagement between Chlovi and further enemy squadrons and we should be fine!

Aaand with my 16th post, Chlovi joins the fray - possibly the first of the VE forces to actually enter into an exchange with enemy forces. We're up against standard TIEs, so this might be deceptively easy

ORDERS: Chlovi, you are currently locked in a battle with 12 TIE fighters. They're completely standard, without shields and without ace status. Easy pickings, huh? Not really. They've trained day in and day out to coordinate amongst themselves without communications and sensors, whereas Chlovi is quite blind. You'll be able to out fly them, but will definitely have trouble adapting.. though I hear we're good with non-verbal communications 

In any case, engage and destroy the 12 TIE fighters within this gap in the asteroid field. Protect your wingman, and make sure to note just how difficult you're finding being put to the test this harshly after such a sudden transition from a lazy recon flight.

Loving the activity folks!  Can't wait to see this battle really take off!

Just some quick update on the stats to help motivate you all.  I will post the complete figures when we hit 100 posts, but that's currently only 10 away!

Notable achievements are that we are now past 100,000 words!  Also, one of our number (coughHadescough) has alone passed the 20,000 word mark!  And the current overall words per post average is over 1100!

Brilliant work, everyone!  We are definitely on course to our goal of making this the biggest Naval story EVER!!!

Hey, its okay to have 20,000 words!  I've just hit 21,000 in fact!

A slow ComNet was not going to distract me from making my 18th post.  I have moved on just a little from my last one, as the two fleets rush to engage each other.

I've also included in my post Serpent's suggestion for a crude way around the coms problem, and thats an infra-red flash code.  Its slow but it might work (especially on capital ships who can devote people to de-coding the dashes and dots).

Also, some may notice that my last post contained my second reference to most of the Brilliant's Stormtroopers being down on Gwodd LK Nale.  This, of course, is directly tied to my upcoming 'board the Brilliant' subplot....

Question: Does the Virulent have a Captain yet? If not I'll introduce an NPC in my next post.

Great post, Serpent!  And, you beat me to it, with the battle board.  My inspiration was from Nimitz-class carriers, where they use a system of bolts and washers to track conditions (kind of like a tabletop rpg tracks status effects!), which is I'm sure where BSG got the idea. 

Hades, I THINK the Virulent's SCAP is as yet undescribed.  Might be wrong, but I can't recall anyone naming, let alone characterizing, that particular NPC.  So you should be clear to do so yourself.

Thanks Trick.

Thought I could get a post up tomorrow, but given that my brain's pretty much been reduced to half-depressed mush by a recent event, I'm afraid it might not be up for a few days.

Seems to be loading a little quicker, now...

Anyway, I posted again.  I know they aren't top quality nor particularly long, but hopefully my occasional check-ins to the story are at least offering plenty of prompts for you guys. 

This one adds one main new tidbit of info: what the bad guys are going to try to do, during this next bit of story.  They want to destroy as many of our ships as possible, sure, but they want to do it methodically, in a way that shows us that they know how to overcome the Pulsar's active periods.  They want to break our will.  So they're going to target our weakest, most vulnerable ships, and gang up on those, destroying them one at a time while we flail about uncertainly.  Probably not going to be fun, for our PCs.

Anyway, if you want to write about any of our ships getting killed, PM me, and we'll work out which ones to destroy together.

Woohoo!  Counterpunch: Death now has 99 replies, so that means we are at the 100 post mark!

The stats are amazing, and everyone should feel really proud of what we have achieved so far.  I truly believe that we can achieve our goal of making this the biggest Naval story ever!

Well, this clearly means that we should participate in NaNoWriMo together and we'll be more than fine.

Now I've got to heighten my word count just because.... I want to raise my average >.>
