For those who did not attend the meeting, we had some very good news. Quote:LG_Rizzit In 5th Place with a total of 38 points are the RAIDERS. LG_Rizzit In 4th Place with a total of 42 points are the Blackjacks! LG_Rizzit In 3rd Place with a total of 55 points we have the Paladins. LG_Rizzit In 2nd Place with a total of 67 points we have the Wraiths! * [SSG]Angel|[SG]Phoenix drumrolls LG_Rizzit and by a landslide in 1st with a total of 97 points we have the Jester Squad!
So. After one week we are thrashing the rest of the army. However, the AHC will be sending out messages to the SLs telling them how to improve their scores, so we cannot let up one iota. Keep your foot on the gas and keep doing what you're doing. Posts are graded on a scale of 1-5, and we only have ONE post that was a 3, all the rest are 4-5. Keep that quality writing going. Aeos and I are thrilled with your efforts, but let's keep this up and just demolish the rest of the army.

What goods keeping your foot on the gas if RAIDERS is siphoning the tank? :P

How can you be siphoning the tank when we're in first and RAIDERS is in last?

Hey Nice post Jikk
Makes it more real to know that even Angel can be caught off guard once in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed your post.

Well thankee. Aye, it gets too easy to God mod a character and make them just kill everything in sight. In reality, no one makes it through a battle unscathed, just helps to add realism.
Besides, an injured character has some neat things to write about later on.

Alright. I posted. If we keep all these posts, game wins, graphics up, there is no doubt in my mind that we will win this competition. And Jager, take the rest of your sig out. The big graphic thing is meant to be your whole signature.

Just another reminder. Take your time when posting. If you're rushing a post, hold off until you have more time to really give it a good go. We've got a damn good posting rotation going since we have a decent spread on timezones, so there's really no reason to sacrifice a little content in the interest of time. Before starting to write ask yourself: What is the situation we're in? What do I want to accomplish in this post? How am I going to do it? Where do I want this post to end? While writing, pause every once in awhile and ask yourself: Could I have described something a little bit better? Does the last part make sense? Once you wrap up your post, then finish by asking: Did I set the scene well? Did I use at least 3 of the 5 senses (taste touch scent sight smell) to describe the action? Did I develop my character at all? Was what I did realistic? Did I progress the story at all? I think if you take the time to do these things, your writing as a whole will improve greatly. And as always, proofread your post at least once. I guarantee once you finish your mind will be working in such a way that you come up with new and exciting things to add to your post. Great work so far.

She just pissed herself, but she's still physically (and mostly mentally) capable of helping us out in whatever way we (well you) eventually decide.

Whoever posts next: Complete the mission objective. We should start making our way out of the building and heading to the extraction point again. That will take a few posts as well.
I do not want to see one squad killing 50 mercs. We are not taking on a platoon of enemies. Our enemies are not stupid and senseless. Anycase, will post tomorrow before class if I can manage. Right now, I need to sleep. Sorry I didn't post btw, had no connection.

Meh. I just posted on the story. Angel, hope you don't mind the slight plot twist I threw in.
Right. The bomb squad will not be spotted by some miracle and be killed off. In fact, I doubt anyone would even be able to find the squad.  Perhaps, Jana finds a new set of logs that was entered into the main frame by detonators that runs on the satellite of this facility. She realizes they are being targeted. etc etc. Thats how I would imagine Jesters being alerted. Take your pick.
Anycase, I want to see some good character development from this.
Jesters will be racing against time. Suddenly, Sam and Jori blowing up the staircase will work against the Jesters because its going be more tedious and time consuming. Angel's injury will slow us down as well. Etc. etc.
Anycase, I'll shut up. Sorry, not a good post, but I had little time.:S

Right, we know about the evacuation, if she was so important she'd be told and since its her personal room and such. Also we have speculated about the bomb. So, yeah.... was thinking more of a cave in sort of deal rather then a massive explosion makes a bit more sense.
The fact that Sam was a explosives tech escaped me (My bad), and made my first post more or less irrelevant and completely devoid of logic... cant win them all I guess.

Good work Ae and Jager. It's always nice to have a post from the enemy's perspective. Also Ae, I love your idea about bringing down the base. Let's run with it and throw up some amazing posts.
So far Jester is destroying page 5, so lets keep the pressure on.

Just posted, and I'm actually sorry it's so long. Anywho, if you don't want to read it (and I don't blame you) we're at the bottom of the stairwell in one piece and moving back the way we came. Cheers.

Still in first by a margin of 29 points. It seems we're falling behind on graphics and the Imperial Ball. The Ball story sucks ass anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. Let's keep plugging away and move the story along.
I want to be off-planet by tomorrow night at the latest.
K.go.
(PS Another great week for us, let's keep it going!)

Wow, miracle. Aeos posted
Sorry I didn't focus too much on Char Dev here, I feel bad especially about excluding almost the whole squad from my post. I wanted to see whether I could try and apply some Combat Engineering specialty skills in my post. I havent done it alot really, so it was weird. If it doesn't make sense. I understand  I dropped maths and all sciency thingies when I was 15^^
Anycase, spanish homework.

Hate to do this, but I'm going to have to take this week off. Finals are really stressing me out this time. Not to mention after said finals I have to travel half way across the US for the holidays. So, anyhow, note me as on a week of leave. Once again, sorry I can't / haven't been much in the way of participation.

Ok boys and girls. I suppose I can reveal the next stage of our mission to you. - The squads successfully complete their objectives and return to the Dominion. We send the anti-virus program (if we found one) back to Tadath -OR- (if an anti-virus was not found, but some other method was) we'd still make contact with Tadath. We head back home. - Once the Dominion returns to Tadath, we receive a message from STC HQ stating that someone has tried to (unsuccessfully) slice back into the STC database systems. - The slicer, J'ak Frozt tries to escape in Tadath - we find that numerous Stormtroopers have been killed. - Upon catching up to Frozt, we find that he has an escort of four Noghri with him. (Grand Admiral Thrawn currently controls the Noghri - *big gasp here*) - We manage to capture Frozt and repel the Noghri by sheer numbers. It may be fun to have Frozt try to escape, but die in the process. That'd be up to you guys. Our objective:Jester and Blackjack - engage Jak Frozt and the Noghri. These things are nasty little buggers. Forget what you saw in Jedi Academy and thinking you can take them down with blaster fire. These things are the assassins of the galaxy, and should be treated as such. Do NOT write about killing one single handedly. Most likely we will be forced to tray and work with blackjack to split them up and take them down one at a time. Four Noghri working together would tear apart any squad like ours. (Hence why Thrawn used them as bodyguards) Treat them as the toughest enemies we've ever faced, and have some fun with this one.

Hey guys sorry I've been a little on the inactive side. It is getting busier at work and I'm trying to stay on my manager's good side by putting in more hours. Turns out I needed to anyway. So I'll be a little spotty here and there. I'll try for a post on friday. I work late tomorrow. Sorry again.
