OOC: Outpost Calna Muun

[Eccles]

IC Thread
@Necris @Vashiir @Chosen​

Hey fella's :) I figured I'd create this since I'm obviously trying to steal one of the Bantha-class freighters and I noticed that in the last post @Chosen arrived by Phantom-class stealth cruiser, which is (at least to my knowledge) unapproved tech using a stealth technology that's currently banned. Now, personally I don't mind the entrance, but being shot out of the sky later on by an unapproved ship using banned tech is a bit of a bummer.

I'm looking forward to stealing a ship from under your noses.

That looks better ;)

And for the stealth part, that's my bad. I assumed that since it was a ship used during The Old Republic then there would be no issue. I'll edit my post to reflect the change. Could you link me to the tech thread where this is stated? Just to save me from this embarrassment a second time.

 

[Eccles]

There you go.. it's in the ship section. Only "Mass Effect Style" stealth is allowed, which if I'm correct is more about heat storing than being invisible to the eye. Still, since the ship isn't approved (I'm assuming here that it isn't generic) it's treated as a generic ship and it wouldn't just have good stealht (I think).

I'm not really a tech wizard myself, I needed to have people point out to me that the level of stealth you used is not allowed, so I'm afraid I can only link you to the tech rules.

 

[Ral]

Just to clarify, a stealth ship can be sensor dampening and such (heat sinks/storage is included in this), but Eccles is right in that it can't have true invisibility or any sort of cloak or chameleon like capabilities, at least not without a tech profile. And since I'm pretty sure there aren't any (nu)canon ships during this time period this would be a fanon ship and would need a tech profile to be used if it wasn't a generic ship (stealth tech isn't exactly generic).

 

[Chosen]

Phantom cruisers are all over the Old Republic, and were used during the Great Galactic War (which was only 100 years ago). I'm not really going to get into the ship at this point (since this is hardly the thread for that) but for now I feel it would be easiest to retcon the stealth system. I'll edit my post when I get back from class and we can carry on with the thread then.

And by that I mean I'll yell at Vashiir to post. Thanks for the help though, you guys. I was pretty lacking in my knowledge of the tech department.

 

[Eccles]

So yeah, @Necris, I went for the kill. It is, however, very early in the timeline and if you don't think you can write yourself out of this I will be more than happy to come up with a solution that keeps your guy alive. Heck, perhaps let in an NPC medic from the SBZ come after Menderling runs away?

 

[Necris]

Going to have to call bull on that mate you've basically just ignored everything I've written and jumped back me grabbing wrist you ramming weapon in armpit

I could have done something similar I could have shot you point blank, I could have written what I did and rammed my vibes blade into your characters back

But I didn't

You left your character wide open in a high five gesture which mine capitalised on.

 

[Arcangel]

Its called an interrupt Necris.

 

[Necris]

So by your reckoning arcright I can now interrupt his post and shoot him in the face

 

[Necris]

Also just going to post these are polite reminders

Any attack must be able to be countered unless you have approached the end of a duel. You cannot simply walk into a thread and kill someone instantly or destroy a shipyard with a single shot or launch fifty missiles at an enemy ship during their own wedding. Everyone should be given the chance to defend themselves after every move. Whether or not they are able to think of a defense is up to their own imagination.
B.1. You may not post things such as “and he shot his opponent in the head” because that gives your opponent virtually no chance of survival and you would be controlling another character. The best way to say something like this is to say that “he shot towards his opponent's head” or "he shot at his opponent's head", as that outlines the intent of an action, rather than dictate it. This is an important distinction and should be adhered to at all times in combat.

And

E. In duels, if an opponent completely ignores an attack in his/her counter reply, that attack is an automatic hit. If clarification is needed for an attack, it's up to the players to contact their opponent and clarify an attack. Do not make assumptions and exploit vagueness.

F. Once a participant posts, the previous post can not be addressed for changes. For example, if metagaming is believed to have occurred in Post 1 and the opponent posts Post 2, the opponent has solidified the actions in Post 1 and cannot argue Post 1. This only applies to opposition. If a teammate of the poster of Post 1 posts Post 2, it does not exempt Post 1 from review. Any and all posts can be reviewed at the discretion of the admins.

Is your character left handed? Because he is currently holding Menderlings arm with his trigger hand if not.

EDIT: If you find it unfair you can always report the post.

 

[Eccles]

You left your character wide open in a high five gesture which mine capitalised on.

And I capitalised on your character grabbing his wrist with his right hand, exposing a weak spot in his armor. I'm actually not the agressor here, you've initiated the fight and done the same thing. You've written dialogue after incapicitating Menderling, but that outcome I interupted and instead wrote an alternative ending, something you in turn, can interupt again.

I have no intention to turn this into an OOC argument. You can report my post if you think it's blatantly against the rules, that's okay it's part of the game. If not, I did give you a way out in which your character has no lasting effects and is simply out for the count in this particular thread.

 

[Necris]

No you out right killed him you posted as such

I'd direct you to the first 2 rules

 

[Eccles]

No you out right killed him you posted as such

He'd bleed out in a minute, but I'm not confirming the kill and instead running away as soon as he lets go. Hence, cue medic.

As I said, you can interupt me. To my knowledge I'm not in blatant conflict with the rules and if you're convinced I am, then we're not going to settle it by dancing in the OOC. Report it, interupt me, or go for the medic option.

 

[Necris]

The medic option is a total cop out

So you'd now be happy with

"The second he saw the blade he angled the rifle placing the stock in its path and using it to take the full force of the blow, his hand snapped back to the trigger and he turned twisting the knife from this strangers grip to unleash a salvo of rapid shots directly into the torso of his opponent, at this range his armour did nothing as the shots burn throug it like paper ripping into his flesh and practically tearing him in two sending gore and guts across the decking as they exited his back, Ceska looked down at the two halves of the stranger as he bled out."

So somehow, despite me letting you take 100 hours to post a reply and (imho) leaving you a fair option to keep your character alive and in perfect shape (after this thread), you seem to be angry with me.

First, your character was committed to the movement and that's where I timed my attack in. You're now retconning that movement, which is bad form. As you can see, I left my right hand in the air for it to be grabbed, never did I attempt 'not to have made the motion to high five' , furthermore considering how close our characters are and the motion you've committed to it's highly unlikely your guy would see the blade in time to react this adequately.

However, you have freed my right arm, which makes it possible for me to turn the tables around on you as my character has no contraints and his knife is embedded into your rifle stock. Note that I'm not retconning the knife attack never having happened. There's several options left to prevent my character to come out of this with a win.

I'm sorry I had to attend a family funeral but there are others involved in this thread that should have posted
