I am thrilled to be back. See a few different people in here from when I was here last, but I'm sure I will get along with you all. Just buy you all some ale and we'll be set  How are the stories right now and which ones should I check out if there are multiple. Will look into them and post when ready

A belated welcome to you, Zippy. See the fourth post on the previous page regarding links for the stories. Our current one is Against the World, so that's what you'll mainly want to look at. Once you get involved with that, if you feel you have enough time on your hands, take a looksie at Shades of Death.
Glad to have you around!

That's good Skarr, because it's been kind of boring around here.

Okay, I left off on the last post of the main story. Is anyone going to pick up the story at the incredibly easy moment I left off at? If I have to, I can do it, but I will most likely kill some of the citizens. So I have to ask, Is anyone posting?

The long awaited and very late post has been completed! It's not very good, but we should try getting in some practice now while we can. I can't say much, but there is a big story approaching on the horizon. Let's get cracking on some writing Eclipse!

Thanks Terre.  And yes a big story is on the horizon! How close it is, is another story. But for now, just know that you all need to beef up on your writing skills as much as possible. As the Elite Squad, we must make a lasting impression.
So who's next in posting? Also, is this story not working out for you guys? Should there be a new one? Don't be afraid to drop your suggestions to me. We're trying to stay active and your suggestions are vitally important to this squad and especially me.

I really don't mind the story, but I do feel that it is a little slow. I know that this is a diplomatic mission, but all we are doing is escourting old people to a shuttle. It's far to simple and easy. So I just wanted to know if the plot was going to thicken, if so, the story would be in ship shape.
That's just my opinion.

Well, the story has taken a turn from what I've planned. But the idea of the story was tenuous anyway, I wasn't quite sure if it'd work. I just want to keep the squad active and busy. We can't afford any more losses in numbers and I'll be damned if I let the Elite Squad of the Vast Empire fall into disrepair.

We do have quite a bit of active members.
Also, I know that most of our stories are run and gun stories, but besides Therex and Shanne none of us is really doing anything except escorting old people. A cub scout could do that.

Well, Shanne. The roster was recently cleaned up. Our current members are myself, Therex, Balac, Shanne, Zippy, and HammerHead. Balac is usually scarce around here and I haven't seen Zippy come back yet. So that leaves the four of us.
I'm also on the side that Against the World is probably going to fail. For one, we started it with more members than we have. And I was planning on the story being a little different than it really is. I really do think I'm going to scrap this story. The only problem is I'm short on ideas for the moment, so I'll have to think of some.

We can brainstorm as a squad. I already have a few ideas rattling around. Some of them will give us some freedom to work and flow. Mainly, I'm thinking a nice story with some flow to get us back into the game and in tip top shape. But let's do some brainstorming. You know the drill. Leave your ideas here and let's get some discussion going.

Just saying, there are no fine details because we can hammer them out latter. I didn't want the idea rejected because of one detail.
So here's the main idea: over the past few months officers in the imperial military have been killed off one by one at military operations across the Galaxy. Imperial intelligence thinks that it is a group of assasins bieng paid large sums of money by new Republic leaders. However, further investigation reveals that it may only be one man. Since the threat level of the target has diminished(due to the fact that it is now only one man)imperial intelligence had decided to send us in to bring him in. The want him alive, but have no real objections if we bring him in a body bag.

What kind of a mission do we want specifically? I think Hammer wants a 'gun-and-run' almost bounty hunter type mission.... Anyone else have ideas? I have a ton rolling around in my head, but I want to weed some out.

That wasn't exactly my idea of what it would be like. I envitioned much more than just tracking a man down and shooting him. I thought that the story would be much deeper and would require us to be quite involved.

I'm not exactly sure. The story I was thinking of would be some sort of training situation that would just encompass whatever we would want to do. I'd just throw in different objectives when we've completed them. So I have no idea what kind of story I want.
