Vanilla Ice OOC

It's cool, next time I will actually type "six" rather than say half a dozen. Apologies for that. I have no issue with you editing the post though, if that's what you'd prefer. I brought it to your intention because I knew you had misjudged something, wouldn't have been fair for me not to say something. If you'd prefer I just interrupt Sal's actions, would you prefer me to just go ahead with that, or would you like to know how I intend on doing it before you decide?

As it is I'd say she'd reach him, her lightsaber clashing with his as she pushes her blade upward, under his, breaking his guard. This would happen while Sal is more focused on the Force push targeted at Jalen, which would succeed. However, Emerald would stop her forward momentum by sending it through her leg as she kicked upward, introducing Sal's face to her clawed feet right around the time he's reaching for his shotgun. He'd never manage to actually shoot at Jalen though, being sent backwards, most likely airborne, before landing in the mud roughly 3-6 feet from Emerald. Chances are he'd drop his shotgun as Emerald kicked him.

At that point, we'd start over from my last post, Emerald coming at Sal from 3-6 this time, full force once again, though this time Sal would be on the ground and at every possible disadvantage. Though this would be a nice point in time for him to use sith lightning, assuming he's mentally aware enough after taking a kick to the face from Emerald. If Sal was unable to continue fighting, Emerald wouldn't kill him though I would capture him and run off with him to the Rebel base, order a full retreat, leaving @Tristar to take the field and most likely storming the base solo, not including NPC forces.​

Nah, I appreciate your honesty and cooperativeness but I still should have read more thoroughly.

As it is, I'd prefer to simply edit my post if that's alright with you. Now that I'm more spatially aware of the actual distances between us four my post is rather moot. As kickable a face as he does have, I'd prefer not to knowingly put myself to a severe disadvantage like that. I'll get to altering my post tonight and I'll tag you here when its done.

I will say though that @Tristar and I's mission is to basically kill all the rebels fighting to stamp out the rebellion and that seeing as how we already cleared out the trenches before you two came a swell as through continued fighting through this thread, we're currently getting rather close to completing our mission. Though as you might expect it won't technically end until you two are routed from the field as well. Regardless, I appreciate you letting me edit my post now that you've told me since there wasn't any real malice intended in my misjudgement.

 

[Undine]

Since I don't have access to the sith private OOC, I just figured your objectives were to assassinate the leader of the rebellions and take out their anti-aircraft guns so the imperial forces could just flood the base. How you guys complete the mission is up to you guys. If you do manage to take out the base then there'd be no real point for myself and Kyle to fight after that. Realistically, the only logical outcome of us staying to fight after that, assuming we did manage to kill or capture both of your characters, is that we'd be stuck in an imperial occupation and running for our lives. I'd rather not do that.​

 

[Hol Horse]

Yeah, I admit this has been a bit of a learning experience for me, I should have put the mission details in my first post instead of trying to be artsy, for that I apologze.

The long story short is that in the mission description it states there are 100 rebels being lead by Korrado, we envisaged the majority or almost all of said rebels to be fighting in the trenches save for Korrado. Once the troops here are all killed, the Imperials would fairly easily overwhelm the base's non-combat personnel. Me and Tri already culled a large number in the leadup to our fight, and with the last few posts, there'd probably be less than 50 or so left as of now- maybe even 40.

It's good to know that normal peoplease conduct PvP this way...in my real first PvP before the time skip, I was using my new Sith for the first time and forgot to mention 1 attack out of about 8 in his first fighting post. Without warning, that was when he died. After saying that I would edit my post and doing so, a certain Valen Pelora, Jedi AFL at the time, said no matter what my character was dead. Anyways, good job working together to keep us all alive while still enjoying PvP!!

Usually, I like to stay out of OOC threads unless I'm involved, but that seemed really uncalled for man. I understand that your character dying due to something small like that is frustrating, but there's no reason to call out someone who was only doing their job as faction leadership. It's just in poor taste.

It had nothing to do with faction leadership. I was just simply pointing out a slight grudge because it was literally my first PvP post and I was against 3 Jedi alone. Just a little salty and I happened to mention a specific person. No reason for calling me out.

@Valen Pelora

I will pay good money to see this occur

 

[Loco]

How dare you call me out for calling people out.

Translated.

 

[René]

Ughhhh.....I wasn't calling anyone out. Would people calm down please? I put this behind me and simply wanted to comment on @Undine and @Ravendark's ability to problem solve and I recalled my past dealings at similar issues. If you want to start sending me hate mail, send it through either PM or on my profile page. This thread is for the Vanilla Ice OOC discussion, not your bickering.

This OOC is for this PVP thread. It should stay related to this PVP thread. In the future, if you have an issue you would like to discuss with me please PM directly or tag me. Italicizing my name does not alert me I have been mention in a thread.

To clarify for those reading. The facts have been misstated. This is not the forum to discuss them. However, you were repeatedly warned via PM that you were fighting 3 Jedi, that your character might die, and one particular Jedi (not mine) would not hesitate to kill. You attempted to edit your post without asking us after the attacks were made but rather tried to pass the edits off as the original post. In the future, please keep the comments in these threads related to the thread. This goes for everyone commenting that is not involved in the PVP.

This thread should be commented on only for those involved in the PVP.

I had no idea there were only around 100 or so rebels, definitely paints the battle it a different light, lol. I tried not to do to much with the rebel forces, as far as giving them orders and what not in the hopes you and Tristar could use your NPCs to still complete the mission while myself and Kyle attempted to stall/stop you.

@Kyle: The Rogue It's fine to mention a previous bad experience with PvP, I have plenty of my own to recall, but calling out someone like that isn't really fair. Given the individual in question isn't involved in this thread and the thread your talking about took place pre-timeskip, would have been better to leave that issue buried.

Thank you for everyone hoping into the thread to stick up for Valen or to share their opinion, but it's unnecessary moving forward, let's just leave it be from here out.​

> has a nice dinner with family
> comes back to see ooc in flames


Yeah, in hindsight I should have just copy pasted the mission desc. entirely as I realize it looks somewhat shady to not do so now so far in. Objectivewise we're pretty close to overruning the base, moreso now that the rebel troopers were ordered to advance across no man's land while under repeater fire and suppressive fire. There are signifucantly more Imperials than rebels at this point, with the latter decreasing rapidly.

Ill finish my editing later but hopefully only the pvp participants can post here from now on.

This is my last input here, and unrelated to any of the above except your last point, and only because it sort of involves the rules. Just FYI you are under no obligation to reveal your mission objectives at all in this case. Any use of that OOC knowledge by Undine would be metagaming- thus the danger of jumping into Open threads.

Other then knowing how many rebel NPCs there were/are I really wouldn't need to know anything else or care to be honest. As far as I'm concerned they did well enough portraying the idea of the thread in their first posts for me to get an idea of what was going on. It is the general practice to include the mission description though, not that it's completely necessary or even required. The idea of metagaming never even occurred to me to be honest.​

Thanks for the advice, I'll follow it in the future from now on. The whole leading troops against other troops aspect though is sort of what lead me and @Tristar to treat this as a pseudo-tactical thread from the start. Since Emerald and Jalen jumped in a bit late the two of us already had made short work of their forces and are close to overrunning the base.

Lets finish this pvp out though and have fun while doing so.

Definitely not saying you were or would metagame- I'm strictly speaking to the rules here. And just to make sure things hadn't changed in the last few months since I've run a faction mission, I double checked and confirmed that none of the 5 most recent missions (those with mission in the title, at least) posted has a real mission description in the OP, or even on the first page. It's never been custom afaik, unless it was a mission that didn't merit PC opposition or was otherwise just in fun. I just want to make that clear for Raven and Kyle's sake, so they're not under false impressions in future threads as to how OPEN or PvP threads are supposed to work. Don't want less experienced PvPers confused.

Good luck with the rest of it- all of you.

@Undine

Edited my post, the actions I take now should be more in line with what is realistically plausible given our relative distances.

 

[Tristar]

I go out to work a blissful man.

I come back with 4 alerts in my notifications bar.

I panic, and I see OOC in flames.

Now that it's all calm, I got to wonder if this is a prolonged peace or if it's going to be the calm before the storm. Either way @Ravendark seems to have done well on his part and y'all made the battle more fun than simply A slaughters NPCs. I don't think anyone's looking to do anything serious to each other's PC (Maybe maiming, what with Nayel's fingers and all but what's a few fingers between friends eh?) and we all went there with relatively good intentions minus the trying to kill each other part.

One thing to note though @Ravendark : Now that we've got pretty much a 2 v 2 going on, you might as well change the thread setting to CLOSED to stop any unmentionables from plopping in and going "lol no here I am to save/feck up the day". Plenty of PVP nightmares right there, let me tell you straight up. Also note that while I tend to put in a short summary of my character's actions in a spoiler format, it's not enforced through out the site. I figured it's just to help smooth out the battles so people can afford to go full Shakespeare and not have the other PVPer be like "What."

As far as the rebels are concerned, since the battle was going to hell for them anyways, I assume if the Jedi are defeated their will to fight will have been destroyed. That being said, I'd put the garrison of rebels to be within the 100-300 range, this including the men inside the base manning the AAA guns.
