Hiya, Sweet Halibane ~<br/><br/>Well, FWIW, I do put quite a bit of thought into my posts as well, so no worries - I think I can definitely relate to your thought processes, lol...plus, I really do thoroughly enjoy reading your posts!<br/><br/>Earlier OOC you had commented on 1st squad being slow posters, hehe - plus I'm really enjoying our game so far - so I decided to take a chance even though I'm the "new guy" and jump in this last time after CmdrRenegade posted MSgt. O'Shay's action.<br/><br/>** I was going to write all this to you in a PM, but thought I'd go ahead and stick it here in OOC instead, in case it's helpful for anyone else or anyone else would like to give me their feedback/opinions/constructive criticisms.<br/><br/>Although it's not necessary to reference the assumptions I made when you write your post, I agree that subsequent posts shouldn't contradict something already written (For instance, Zillah didn't have Yui acknowledge or respond to DeSilva's actions in her post, but she also didn't contradict anything DeSilva said/did.)  But if there's something I assumed that totally bugs the hell out of you, please do let me know!<br/><br/>Assumption #1 - The squad walked single file from the downed ship to the clearing. I thought this formation would be SOP, and also made the most sense in a dense jungle environment. In fact, with Rome at point (per Corvus' last post), I would actually expect he might even need a machete or something similar to allow passage through the thick jungle.<br/><br/>Assumption #2 - The squad would take all the gear they salvaged from the downed ship with them.<br/><br/>Assumption #3 - The squad would fan out to at least some extent upon reaching the clearing.  However, I only actually mentioned that DeSilva fanned out in my post.   I also tried to be ambiguous about everyone else's position so as to not "action" anyone (something new I learned just recently in group game, hehe), but I did place DeSilva next to Yui in the clearing, just at the perimeter. I figured Yui couldn't be fully within the clearing, otherwise there would be nothing for the bodies to be hanging up on, and Urban had her getting dripped on.  You listed different positioning in your OOC thoughts, but perhaps that was just in the single-file marching line...<br/><br/>Assumption #4 - Urban's picture of the "jungle guy" looked like he was wearing a hazmat suit to me.  Either that or he is some new James Bond villain type, hehe.  But again, I only offered DeSilva's opinion in my post.<br/><br/>Assumption #5 - The motion detectors would make sound, like they did in the movie.<br/><br/>Unanswered question - I wondered at the size of the mysterious device...is it 1 foot, 12 feet, or?  I decided to gloss over that issue by not addressing it.<br/><br/>I understood from Urban's post that the "jungle guy" and "invisible creature" were just inside the clearing, right at the perimeter, at the right flank of the squad, and wrote with that perspective.<br/><br/>Honestly, I love the idea like you mention, of each player being able to have a little bit of freedom to describe the scene and action, with subsequent players taking cues from previous posts and not contradicting what has already "occurred". I do that now, actually - or at least try my best to.  However, if I ever write something egregious, or even just something that really irks your sense of logic, please feel free to let me know.<br/><br/>Okay, am I "OCD" enough for you dear Halibane?  LOL   ;D
