| Sorry for the rushed post, I just need to prevent flank from decimating the entire mob of mechs.
And how long do you want this combat situation to be? I can easily extend it or shorten it by means of helping or hindering the command drone, it's really up to you guys. | |

| The main reason I didn't move things along before this situation started up was that I was waiting for Bor and Lazer's characters to resolve their messing about with the teleporter, and for Cuna to join the rest of the group (or otherwise resolve to remain behind) — at this point where that's going seems a bit unclear, given Bor has joined the fray and Lazer hasn't been seen for a few days.
In any case, I'm sure that given the current quantity of foes (which is incidentally larger than any other group of hostile NPC's yet encountered) there won't be much call for further measures to extend the engagement. | |

| Hey Hutch, how tight a leash are you intending to keep this combat sequence on? It's working pretty loosely at the moment; the main things I wish to note are that a number of players' posts have not been directly replied to and we haven't been regularly keeping track of the number of enemies at large. Potentially I could lend some assistance in that area, where it doesn't overlap with my own characters. What saith thou? | |

| I'd like some help keeping track of the mechs number and distance from the group, so if I can get any assistance there, that would be much appreciated. Keeping track of what's hitting what would also be useful, but that isn't as difficult to keep track with.
Right now we have about 24 mechs left, and about 12 to 10 feet between the two groups, so I intend on screwing over the command drone NPC to put a little bit of distance between the two groups, either by means of messing with the mechs navigation, or thinning out the front ranks.
It would be SO much easier to pull off if Lazer was here, but I'll find a way.
(Also, I only switched on three turrets, all of which are destroyed, and will remain that way until I have a reason to introduce more) | |

| My intention with these close-combat enabled mechs was that they be a subset of the current total of 24 rather than an addition, to make the battle more varied rather than adding to its length. | |

We're fighting a small army of mechs right now, so I imagine a tech guy could come in handy. | |

| Are we waiting on a few more people to post or has this RP just slowed down again? | |

| My superhuman ability is telling me that this roleplay isn't going to last much longer. It's low on active players and it's gradually losing interest from the active ones. If that's the case, can we just push through and sort out that blister at the top of Sapphire Point so we can give this thing some closure and put it to bed? | |

| You know what we've never had (as far as I know) with regard to RP's in this forum? A proper brainstorming thread. It seems to me that it would be the most fun and effective way to construct an RP, rather than one person trying to cover everything (and the whole thing summarily falling flat when said person drifts). There are also other benefits that I can think of, but I'm not in monologue mode yet. As regards NR, I was initially trying to make sure the Sapphire Point mission didn't get too bogged down, but that took a rather serious hit when the party split (among other factors, some of which may or may not possibly have something to do with me :P), and now we've got more than twenty enemies to deal with. I think I might well scoot things along soon. | |

| We have to get off Ariid. I'm sick to death of Ariid.
Don't shut down the RP yet; let's just get off Ariid and see where it goes. If posting activity doesn't change, then maybe it's time to shut it down. | |

| I agree with Bor, Mitch. Rhak said Ehm... Sorry, long time since I was on the OOC. Good idea with the brainstorming Delta, but you know what they say, the more the merrier the more chefs the worse soup(or something like that.) It works perfectly fine when two or three brainstorm together, but more than that and the ideas can fall quickly. | |

| I suppose all the inactive characters still facing the mechs will meet some kind of end? Other than the whole 'meteor to the hull' idea it seems a pretty effective way of cancelling out the inactive ones. | |

| So the characters belonging to Darkshadow (if he's actually been seen during the Sapphire Point gig) Lazer, Drago and (outside qualifier) Hutch?
As of yet all players who wind up on the Small-Font List of Shame have just been treated as not existing, in case any eventually return. It works fine for the most part, but I can see an argument for officially trimming the fat off the cast list permanently — no longer having Schrodinger's cabin-count aboard the Lacuna being one of them. It's like a black hole in the RP's canon. 0_0 | |

| WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
Don't kill off my characters, I haven't been posting because I haven't been following the battle going on, and the one attack I did write was completely ignored. (Look a few pages back, Grecsh threw an EMP grenade and nothing happened.)
I'll try and post more, I guess. | |

| So, should we brainstorm some ideas as to which direction the plot should take? That way, if Delta does indeed not post for some time, one of the players could take over with answering posts and story progression. | |

| In most cases where I stop posting for some time, all you really need to do is tell me to get off my butt and do something about it. If I'm expecting to be away for an extended period of time then it's simple enough to put things in place beforehand. Barring my unexpected death or the release of Half-Life 2 Episode 3, I can think of few situations where other plans might need to be made. As an aside, I understand some players may already have sub-plots of their own planned. | |

| I planned on having Flank turn that turret firing module into a home made plasma rifle, but only after he visits several shops and recruits Quark's assistance. | |
