Ok since Brigadier General Fury mentioned to post a topic on some ideas for the story, I thought "hey, you know sitting in a 3 hour college lab with nothing to do is a good time to post here on some ideas for the story" So here I am, sitting in a lab and posting my thoughts on the story. And now.. my brain will continue. Brain? Ah, yes. Casualties! People seem to be "heros" or in my case, write me in as a nut with a gun :P *hides from those who posted that* Anyways, the enemy needs to hit us and we need be be hurt, not just winning winning winnning 100% of the time. We can't be perfect "super troopers", check World War I and II to find out what happened to those who thought they were super troopers and would come in, take out the germans and go home. Don't make one of those nice little American made WWII movies where the german is always stupid and the American always saves the day. We need death, pain, torture, wreckage, successful full scale attacks by the enemy at times Ok theres my war-like brain kicking into action. Just some handy ideas.

Well, I try to include death and pain in mine, but you cant really take the liberty of hurting a squad mate and definetly not killing them

Well, I'm still building the foundation. Methinks I need to stop planning and start writing. As for the rest of it, I'll talk to a few people and see what we can set up. We might bring the FES in (if they'd like) to spice things up a bit.

Oh, I'm totally with you about the multiple odd ball weapons thing.  I slightly alluded to it during the prep for this mission, but next time I thing I'm making it mandatory.  Everyone goes down with gear similar to what their specialty requires. Yes, granted, you will run out of ammo, lose your weapon, have to run faster with less gear, etc. and have to pick some up along the way, but here's the thing.  Unusual weapons require less than standard reloads.  I'd rather have a common rifle with reloads all of the place than a BFG 9000 that runs out of ammo when I need it most. So yeah, Sniping, you are definitely hitting the right mark with one of those things that irritate me.

NO! i refuse to let us not finish this story! i refuse to let my first SB mission end without a propper ending, so in other words *getts down on knees* plz dont quit this mission, plz, prtty plz with sugar on top. if some1 would tell me who the quarter master is i could continue the mission, but WhoT* is the QM?? and we could rite the no specialty weapons thing into the story easily enough. and i can see a special wepon if its your speciality, but the normal Grunt shoulnt be packen friggen anythin he wants, we need weapons assigned to specialtys (e.i. a sniper is assinged an E-11 marksman). ive also just realized that the normal trooper has a holster for his E-11, not that that means anything it just something i notice from watching the movie too many times again., so it should realy be requaired that all troopers carrie a standard E-11 also. and try not to put pll doin things that are out of thier personality, like dont you dare make me rush in for melee attacks while i still have ammo in a gun, im TKs friend, not his clone. so just try to keep ppl within ther personalitys, i havent see that happen bad around, but im just afraid some nameless person would rite me in as overly ecstatic(sic) dont get me rong now i love being in this OGC, but im not going to be barking at comands feet for scraps, only for the whole stake and only if i think i can get it whithout annoying anyone, or like being like kent in "Real Genius", arrgg im giving myself a head ake trying to explain this properly and not being able tos so if you cant figure it out than forget you ever saw it plz anyway nough of me, im probly making ppl sick. untill l8er P.S. That post was in order of thought so some of it contradicts the sentance before it, so thats more of me jsut being a Stupid newb to organized message boards   ----------------------- TRP\PFC Sniping101\Raiders\2PLT\1COM\1BAT\1REG\VEA\VE [LoR] "When you annoy me it takes 42 muscels in my face to frown, Wheras it takes only three muscels to extend my arm and b*tch slap you"

"Hmm, I'm an NCO already?"

Bravo Drogo, bravo.  I agree completly.  /me applauds from the large ampitheater, crowded toward the front, but dark and empty near the back. Anyways, I agree with the custom weapons thing, even though I'm probably guilty more than anyone but Kuroishi of it, but I disagree with the rank thing.  This might just be because I came from a very loose squad and ran the squad I had in the same atmosphere, but then, we were the black ops unit, so I'll try to make it more professional if I go into a regular unit  Lesse, what else...  Ah yes, God mode.  I'm probably quite guilty of that too, even though I tried to tone it down a lot in my later stuff, and I agree completely with the original statement and all those backing it up. Hmmm...  That's about i...  wait a second, you guys are still working on starting Chapter 8!?!?!  I left four months ago and you guys were working on it!!  Geez lou-frickin eez...  Anyways, I'm glad I was gone, I'd have gone nuts waiting for it to start  Well, that's my piece, enjoy

Hmmm...  /me looks around. Well, unless you're lying somewhere on my floor, I don't believe I'm on your back...  My comment about Ch 8 is simply that it's taken a long time, nothing more than that, and I don't believe that'd denyable. As for an insult, none at all was intended, the passage was entirely satyrical
