Deysum Daze OOC

[Nefieslab]

Alright gang so this OOC thread is being made ahead of time.

Any questions? Ask them here - not discord.

Any disputes? Raise them here - not discord.

Savvy? Excellent!

Now, you are not going to have it easy and you shouldn't expect to have it easy but, to clarify, here are some points I want to raise right here and now. If you want to dispute any part of them, feel free to do so here.

1. The thread is death enabled.
2. Timing shall be 72 hours per side - you three being one side and myself being the other.
3. Your NPCs are your own and they cannot be commanded by another unless;
   1. You are dead
   2. They clearly outrank you

Hope we all have a good time though! :D

The Thread

Are there structures, buildings, and/or cover nearby, and can we get to it before we meet the red rain of blaster bolts?

 

[The Good Doctor]

Also, I believe that Nightfall has earned a handfull of NPCs via completing at least two Cartel missions via the Hutt Reward system. Any objections with him bringing those in?

You are at the edge of the industrial district.

There is a long stretch of open terrain between you and the gate to the domed city.

You currently do have cover in the form of chest high crates.

Just a reminder - you're supposed to be attacking XD

Depends on how many he has and how well-equipped they are. If they are superior to the locals then the number of locals may need to be adjusted

I think one last question before I'm good to post myself. @Nefieslab

Are the droids already rolling towards our position, or are they only mobilizing next round?

They are on the move but won't be in a position to fire upon you (and you them) until next round

Sorry @Nefieslab yeah no I believe my six reward dudes are just grunts, average skill and arms it'd be :)

Hey there @Nefieslab. So are you like posting the results with Storyteller per round based on the moves we did? I thought we were going to go at it like we would normal pvp posts. Just making sure

Also just a note. I talked to a tech admin before making my first post, and when I asked him how many shots one of those Not!Sentry Bots could take, he reminded me that that droids are still held to armor standards, which means their armor can only take two hits (assuming medium strength blaster bolts) before failing. And then told me that two shots after that would be reasonable for catastrophic damage. So going by that, one more shot would be able to disable the droid going after me. But a I think the third shot the droid took would still cause some damage.

Thoughts?

That's kind of a heads up too I guess

Good point - I'm open to either way and I suppose it would be up to you and @Nightfall096 & @TheBrokenMadMan if you want it to be more like PVP or more like traditional DMing - I'll edit as appropriate :D

I'll add in that it took some damage but it'll still be firing at you for the next round - damaged or not :)

 

[The Good Doctor]

Yeah, I'd like to hear @Nightfall096 @TheBrokenMadMan's thoughts. Because we had like our own strat coming into this (more than just the thing with the NPCs). And I think we all thought we were going to be actually carry out our attacks next round with this treated pvp style.

I'm good with whatever they are good with.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Okay @Nefieslab we are good with whatevs

no further edits needed on my part

 

[Melonus]

Is this still open for a latecomer working for the cartel? I figure I can prone sprint my way over to the defensive line having been asleep or something at the outset while (supposedly) watching the flank.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Thank you for the offer @Melonus, but this thing is well in progress, locked in battle and closed to other participants. Sorry man, but again appreciate the offer :)

No problem, I'll find something to do eventually.

You could hit up some peeps on discord and seeing if there anyone interested in doing things. Just an idea.

Hey @Nefieslab! Just some quick clarification. Can you clarify what you are targeting exactly with the tanks? Me and Nightfall took different warehouses. Your post seems to suggest one, but just to make sure before we make our round of posts. I made it a point in my post to have my Barry and his posse to enter the warehouse in such a way would the Republic would disappear from line of sight with it not being fully apparent they entered the building, especially if the airships were keeping pace with the tanks eariler (so they wouldn't have a visual either to confirm Barry's presence inside of his warehouse either?). And not sure if they would open fire on a random building where it's not apparent it would have garrisoned hostiles in it.

Secondly, I covered two blocks worth of ground in an industrial district by running a straight line (before doing what I did before I enter my building). My allies did cover the same distance too from what their posts suggest. If you are firing the distance you are firing at. I doubt you would really have line of fire of our warehouses, because other buildings (this is an industrial district after all) would be in the way. I think the tanks will have to take to the streets to get a good shot.

I realize that this post may be mostly incoherent because i'ma tired (:D), but thoughts anyways?

Alright so - putting pause on the timer until this is dealt with to the satisfaction of all involved - @TheBrokenMadMan @Faster Than Light @Nightfall096

Apologies for any confusion my post caused first of all.

Tank targeting - they are targeting warhouses in general at this stage. Unfortunately for you all, the ruling classes do not care for the lives of those who may still be within and the Republic is rich enough to compensate them. Right now the Republic tanks are demolishing the area one building at a time. They don't care if they have to bury you all alive, not going to lie. You are not in direct danger if you have left line of sight but this will soon no longer be the case as the buildings between your buildings and the tanks comes under more fire.

Line of sight - see above. Can't hide behind/inside buildings if there are no buildings after all ;)

Hope this helps!

Timer won't restart until it's confirmed it is
