				<strong>Hello, everybody,&nbsp; XD<br><br>our RP is going to start any time now, the last of the character sheets should be in shortly.&nbsp; XD</strong><br><br><span class="bbc_u">However, we need not wait that long to begin our story, as the team will first meet in the USA the day before they will all be dropped over Germany (near Bonn) with parachutes. </span><br><br>The team will have a chance to get to know each other at least a little, on the day before they'll be dropped into what could be, for all they know, a horror trip during which they'll face an enemy that even the best soldier might fear fighting, against which no skill, no strength, no wit and no knowledge can protect them: A virus. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">That meeting will be the opening scene.</span> I'll not bother with NSCs, as they'll not be needed again anywhere in the RP, the main plot theme, I think they would, at this point, be a distraction rather than a help, and superfluous, it's better for the characters if they focus on the other team members. Hence, <span class="bbc_u">the characters will just be in that meeting room, team members only, a large table, a buffet (nope, no alcohol), comfortable chairs etc. are provided, they'll be arriving one after the other in whatever posting order 'happens'.</span> <span style="font-size: 7pt;" class="bbc_size">If this laissez-faire method should end in too much unproductive chaos, I'll send in an NC authority figure who is in charge and forces them all back in line...</span><br><br>That means whoever posts their character sheet days after the rest of the players can, up to the point where they get on the plane, still enter the game as a team member.<br><br>Unless you insist, there'll be no established posting order, thus, no endless waiting until all have posted and it is 'your turn' again. <br><br><strong>Okay, a whole lot of info now:</strong><br><br><span class="bbc_u">They all have been summoned on short notice</span>, some who are bound to follow orders might not even have been given a choice, yes, possibly have no idea what they will be expected to do the other day. How willingly your characters joined and how much your characters knew about their mission before they were briefed is up to you. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">Each character has been given a small, single bed room, and has been briefed separately, alone, and handed in writing what they need to know, what their duties and goals will be. They'll take the notes with them and can consult them anytime.</span> -&gt; OOCly that means if anything isn't clear to you or you need further information or can't remember or find something relevant for your character, you can ask me. We'll just assume your character went to look it up in his instructions booklet. ;)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">All of them have been forbidden to tell anybody that and whereto they are leaving. While they are gone, their families and friends will have no idea - or a very false one - where they are. There is no chance to contact the outside world from the moment they entered that building. </span> <br><br><span class="bbc_u">There is a satellite watching the roof of the Post Tower in Bonn. There is another watching the roof of Hotel Park Inn in Berlin. Those are their pick-up points. If they do not make it to the top of either building, they will never get home again.</span> If they are very lucky, the data from Berlin, from the Robert Koch Institut, has reached the Universitätsklinik Bonn. That would mean, they might be in and out of that contaminated area within a three weeks...<br><br>What if the data needed is not in Bonn, how are they supposed to reach Berlin? Of course, there is a pick-up planned that would pluck them off the Post Tower's roof and drop them in Berlin, as close as possible to the Robert Koch Institut.<br><br>Now&nbsp; - wait a minute! Why can't they drop everybody right in front of the Universitätsklinik Bonn, then, why only somewhere in the area, and why is the first possible pick up date three weeks after the drop? <br><br>Well, all data is interesting. Human samples must be taken. But also, there are many <span class="bbc_u">soldiers on the team, fighters.</span> The data they collect is how to fight the infected, how to survive them, they must find out as much as they can about their typical strength and speed, how they fight, chase, hunt, feed, where they rest or 'hibernate', what wakes them out of hibernation. Bonus points for being able to estimate after how long a time of hibernation and no feeding they slow down significantly. Do they starve eventually, and die, if left alone? How long does that take? Generally a question of interest, they run so fast, feel no pain (or show no reaction to it), are in that state of rage - how long does that last, how much energy do they burn, when will they stop running or slow down? <br><br>Another fun event is testing the gas - yes, that's right, testing small amounts of the gas on infected that look as if they might have been around six years ago when they somehow must have survived the gas. Why? Well, they want to know whether the infected have developed a kind of immunity to it, whether they absorbed too small a dosis because they hardly breathe when in hibernation, jovially called 'stand by mode' - or whether they were just 'coughs* lucky. <br><br><br>Right, so, what the heck does <span class="bbc_u">a cultural anthropologist on the team?</span> Study the aborigines, of course, but for what purpose? Maybe he suspects as much, maybe not, but the data he collects on them will influence the decision what best to do with them. Kill the lot? Or can they live functional lives again after six years of horror and anarchy? Have they become a bunch of crazed psychopaths that each pose a danger to whatever society takes them in? How do they defend themselves, would they be willing to cooperate, how much do they hate/blame the outside world for having bombed the lot and left the survivors to struggle without any outside help for six whole years? Where do they hide, how do they communicate, how can one remove them all without dropping bombs of the kind that would really render all that fertile region with the survival-friendly climate uninhabitable (and ruin all the valuable property, art etc. in the process)? On a more gentle note, supposing the survivors are deemed the sort that are less trouble than gain, what help will they need to be able to return into 'normal' civilisations without being hopelessly overstrained? How traumatised are they? Etc...<br><br>There, that's it, I hope, at least for now. Did I miss something - give me a nudge. Also nudge me if I explained badly or something makes no sense to you etc... Just drop me a PM, please, and I'll add or clarify.&nbsp; :D<br><br>Another scientist will shortly join us and the team *cheers*, information relevant for her character I'll add here after her character sheet has been posted. ;)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Now, the group gathering and getting to know the rest of the team isn't just a social occasion. It serves a purpose.</span> The team will probably need a leader, at least someone to make the final decisions when they cannot reach a consensus about something. But with so many in the team having a military background or one where obeying commands and following hierarchy is the norm, it would make sense to have a leader for the 'military' operations, too. <br><br>However, I leave that up to you all. If you want such a leader, you should vote as the players, for the character who seems most likely to be given that position, and a second in command. If you don't want that kind of hierarchy, you can either decide the group will select a leader IC, or you can just let things take their natural course and see whether one emanates.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">What the team definitely needs are a few 'functions' selected team members will be in charge of.</span> Who would the group select to be responsible for the food supply? Who will be sent forwards to establish contact or negotiate with survivors if needed? Who will be a scout, a pathfinder of sorts? Who is a good huntsman, knows how to survive out in the woods? Who will be responsible for finding safe places to stay overnight? Who will be in charge of first aid (-&gt;who has most knowledge about medicine, can stitch together someone who is wounded, maybe even perform basic surgery if needed)? Things of that nature - if I forgot something important, please, fill in for me. <br><br>I think that's it...&nbsp; &nbsp;::) Yes, at least my head's not coughing up anything useful... <br><br>I'll open the RP thread shortly. <br><br>P.s.: Do you want a shiny new thread for your character sheets, too, or will the old thread do in which we posted them anyway? <br><br>P.p.s. : So far, there is only one survivor-character, and her sheet isn't posted yet, we'll come to the survivor intro scenario when she's ready. <br><br>Hope you're all still with me and we're heading for a lot of fun together!<br><br>Malina

				Say Malina, <br><br>Kudos on the amount of thought and effort you've put into all this, it's quite exciting and entertaining already.&nbsp; :)<br><br>I have a broad question that I think might need to be addressed early on, which is, who exactly is behind this expedition?&nbsp; Is it run by the government, the military, a private "NGO"-type agency, a commercial entity, or some combination of these?&nbsp; I would have guessed the team members would have at least some idea of who was behind the mission, both in terms of planning and funding.&nbsp; And wouldn't the organization behind all of it be making certain decisions, such as who's in charge, or what responsibilities each team member has?<br><br>I suppose it's conceivable the team members could be responding to mysterious summons from an unknown source, but that's a believability stretch, especially with military people involved, and with the team meeting at some US building first -- whose building is it, and who else is in the building?<br><br>These are big questions that any of us could answer in our posts, but they're so broadly significant to the story that I thought maybe you'd want to make those determinations.&nbsp; But if I'm off-base, just let me know.&nbsp; Thanks!<br>

				Hey, thanks!&nbsp; XD *slaps her forehead*<br><br>Oh, typical me, I knew I had forgotten something... *mutters*<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><br>Officially, and to all your team members' information, this is a mission the US Government organised, funded etc.. The building is within a military base on Hawai, (Hickam Air Force Base). The WHO is involved, the military, several agencies. More is not known to any team member.</span><br><br>During the story, we'll focus entirely on what is happening in Europe, there'll be no contact to the outside world, so, anything further about who pulled strings in the background is irrelevant for now - until or in case we reach the point where the characters return to the USA. Then, the political background, the power struggles, conspiracy theories and all that might yet play a role. <br><br>Certainly the organisation would normally make such decisions. That's why I asked you whether you'd want a hierarchy in the team and an official leader. <br><br>We can discuss all that OOCly and then assume this decision was forced on the group or given as their orders.<br><br>I don't want to force a group structure on you or just go and pick a 'team leader'. <br><br>There'll be one very important person to still join the group, a scientist character. To protect that character from harm and help her get the documented medical data etc., will be crucial for the mission. <br><br>This might by logic make her a candidate for leadership, but on the other hand, so would the most experienced or qualified soldier (or similar background) character, or, whoever picked the highest official ranking in military hierarchy. <br><br>Whether the characters decide over the leadership and each other's responsibilities, or the players decide this OOCly, is up to you.<br><br>If you'd prefer if I alone decide who does what the way I think the organisers of the mission might, I'll do that, of course. I just thought it would be fairer and more interesting and natural to involve all of you in these&nbsp; decisions as far as possible. <br>

				Cool, thanks for the clarifications, Malina.&nbsp; :)<br><br>In terms of team assignments and leadership, I wanted to mention some things to all of you about my character, Sam, the cultural anthropologist.&nbsp; (It's going to be a little while before I can get a first post up, hopefully not too long.)&nbsp; <br><br>Sam's both a college professor and an employee of a large drug company.&nbsp; He's going to Europe mostly because he wants to continue his own academic research (documenting the emerging social structures among survivors and infected in post-disaster Europe).&nbsp; To get placed on the mission, however, he had to accept a research assignment from the drug company, which pulled strings with unknown government sources to get him on the team.&nbsp; I'd like for the nature of his drug-company research assignment to remain secret for now, if that's okay.&nbsp; (Actually, I don't know what it is yet, but I may want to make it something sinister, something he feels conflicted about agreeing to do.)<br><br>So, Sam has his own agenda as far as what he'll be doing on the trip -- mostly observing and documenting the environment, and interviewing anyone he can.&nbsp; He wouldn't make sense as a team leader; too young and inexperienced in civilian life, and no credentials to order around military people with.&nbsp; He can take on any responsibilities assigned to him by whoever is in charge, although he has no technical skills to offer beyond his high academic intelligence and some outdoor skills (camping, hunting, basic survivalist stuff).<br><br>I can change any of the above, if necessary, that's just my thinking so far.&nbsp; Thanks for reading.&nbsp; :)<br><br>Oh, as to a character thread, I like to have all the game-relevant material in the actual game section, so I'd like to have one; but it's no big deal if the rest of you feel differently.

				Okay, I think I best tell you about my decision making process. Don't worry, I'm not an indecisive type, I'm perfectly able to make decisions alone, too, but your wishes and feedback matter to me, so, <span class="bbc_u">I'll try to involve you in all the major decisions as far as possible</span>. I'll put up things up for a vote, as I did with the size of the group. There, a majority quickly was pro, which would have been enough, but, even better, everybody who has been active and posting character sheets or is about to do so has supported that choice.<br><br>However, it won't always be that easy. My rule is - <span class="bbc_u">a vote is open as long as the decision to make will not keep the whole RP stuck. I'll give you a notice à la - here's the question, I need your decision till ... </span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">You can choose from three options:</span><br><strong>A</strong> - in favour<br><strong>B </strong>- either way is fine by me<br><strong>C </strong>- against it<br><br><span class="bbc_u">All you need to do is post that one letter or PM it to me.</span> Of course you can write more, add your reasons etc., but basically, that one letter sent in time will do.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">When the time comes the decision has to be made and not all votes are in, I'll go with the result from those votes I have. If no votes were cast or they come out even numbered, I'll decide.</span> <br><br>So, everybody will have a chance to be involved, it'll be fair, but it won't end in delays.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Is that okay with you all?</span><br><br><br><br>Hey, Rick,&nbsp; :D<br><br>'twas my pleasure - actually, I'm very glad you spotted the missing detail, thanks a lot!<br><br>I love the drug company idea, the morally conflicting nature of what Sam agreed to... Nice, indeed, very promising. ^^<br><br>Your evaluation of the likelyhood of Sam being appointed as the leader is perfectly logical, too. <br><br>Thanks for your feedback and input!&nbsp; XD<br><br><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">P.s.: Your vote for a character thread has been counted. ;)</span>

				I'll take the medical position, er, at least for basic things like stabs, burns or ...gunshot wounds, beyond that Corpsmen aren't trained for advanced surgery, the best Anna can do is put her hand in your leg and pull a bullet out, hopefully without doing more damage. :P<br><br><br>Also, if no one minds, I listed myself as jump master for the parachute jump, mainly because I didn't see anyone else take it.

				&nbsp;:D <strong>Thanks, Rick! </strong><br><br>I understood from your post that your character, whether in any group decision (players or characters) or one made by me, would not be likely to become the leader, and thus you leave the decisions of who will become leader and how to those whose characters would be affected (change of position within hierarchy/chain of command) by that choice. So, unless I misinterpreted your post, I'll counted this as a <strong>B</strong> (either way is fine by me), and no further questions need to be answered for now. <br><br><strong>Destiny Ascension, thanks for your input!&nbsp; XD</strong><br><br>There'll be a scientist character added shortly, might even be a virologist or epidemiologist. There's a chance that character might have more medical knowledge and experience, depending on how theoretically she worked in that field. So, let's hold that open for a bit, maybe you can share these responsibilities, too, there should be enough injuries to split between you, plus, the team can separate into two groups now and then, it would be good if either group had a medic or sth. on board. <br><br>The jump master for the parachute jump really sounds like a perfect fit for Anna. ^^ From the logical aspect, I'd say she'd be the best choice, myself. *grins*<br><br>No ulterior motives, huh? ^^ *chuckles*<br><br>If you're so eager, I can decide you're the first to arrive in the room and you can have the very first post of our RP. Want it?&nbsp; &gt;:)<br><br><br><strong>Okay, everybody, </strong><br><br>I think we'd best let anybody toss in their wishes for position or certain fields of expertise and the duties coming along with it, and see whether we can distribute the lot to everybody's satisfaction.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Please, go for what positions and duties you'd like to have, whether they have been named already or not. This is not a 'first come, first served' thingie, if two people want the same position or 'job', we can seek a good compromise.&nbsp; </span><br>

				I am unsure as to whether my character should be with the team from the start, or if they should encounter him during the mission? Care to make an executive decision? (There are so many possibilities. At some point his identity could have been compromised and he could have been coerced into joining the team, or placed there for a rendezvous?)

				There is a lot of information on the first, flu-like epidemic which preceded the outbreak of the Rage Virus. Scientist have been studying it ever since, but there is no consensus as to whether the second outbreak, the Rage Virus, is a mutation of the first virus or something entirely different.&nbsp; <span class="bbc_u">For the first virus, almost all applies that holds true for the influenza concerning incubation, transmission (droplet infection), survival of the virus outside the host etc.. </span><br><br>It affected, however, very often and strongly the brain and nervous system, which is atypical, and was incredibly aggressive once it entered y system, an infection with this virus leads to death far more often than any influenza so far. <span class="bbc_u">Common antibiotics did not help much, but there has been developed a new one which was tested very successfully on animals and is claimed to be harmless to humans. This medication has been handed out to every team member. A vaccine does not exist. </span><br><br>One theory is that the original virus survived for six months in the bodies of some of its victims, mutated or changed and broke out eventually (-&gt; like varizella zoster virus that causes chicken pox, remains in the body, and can many years later cause shingles). Another is that the original virus is a mutation of a virus that normally affected animals only, mutated, and became infective to humans, too. There are others who believe it is a mutation of the rabies virus. There are voices who claim it is something that escaped from a lab....<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Of the Rage virus itself, not a single sample exists.</span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">What is known of the Rage Virus is that there is practically no incubation span, symptoms follow the infection within minutes (this virus is not transferred via droplet/airborn infection, it needs a bite, or an open wound into which saliva or blood of the infected enters, or blood of the infected getting into your mouth or eyes, for example).</span> Those who have seen the film <em>28 Days Later</em> might remember the scene where one of the men looked up, had a drop of infected blood hit his eye and almost instantly showed symptoms, turning into a raging creature within minutes. That is what your characters know will happen.<br><br>I hope this helps, Leorobin? I'm sorry if descriptions are clumsy, it's pretty difficult for me with vocabulary that goes into such specific areas or terminology, my English isn't quite up to it, especially since I have no medical background myself... <br>

				Yes it is what I had in mind, thanks. It's okay, i have some knowledge since my parents are both doctors and when i was a child i used to spend lots of time in e.r. waiting for their shift to finish. <br><br>Regarding food, eating contaminated food would induce an infection? For example, hunting down an infected animal and consuming it's meat would infect the person? Also do we get supplies drop offs or an initial supply of food and others or something else?

				<span class="bbc_u">The Rage Virus only infects humans. Hunting animals is safe, food is unlikely to be contaminated, either</span>. Unless you actually would go ahead and eat something dripping in blood of an Infected, there's nothing to be feared. <span class="bbc_u">The group will get food supplies, these provisions will feed them three to four weeks - theoretically long enough to survive solely on them until the first pick up from Post Tower Bonn...* </span>Water is an entirely different matter, you can't carry around that much of it. You have equipment to test and cleanse water from rivers or rain water you find, you have been assured it's safe to drink water after you tested it and the result 'cleared' it. <br><br><br>*No supply drop offs are planned, but characters will get additional food rations if they have to go to Berlin, too.

				I thought it might be useful for everybody to give you the timeline of what happened in Europe:<br><br><span class="bbc_u">The outbreak of that flu-like virus happened in December 2012</span><br><br>Followed by six months of quiet, life returned to normal, then, <span class="bbc_u">in June 2013 the Outbreak of the Rage- Virus followed.</span> Imagine what would happen if in every major city, in almost every town, within a few hours or up to a day, not a handful, but hundreds, thousands, in huge cities like Paris or Berlin, tens of thousands of the infected from <em>28 Days Later</em> were on the loose - I'd say it was a matter of weeks until the decision was made to use that gas. Evacuations stopped by the end of July at the latest. <span class="bbc_u"> In early September 2013,&nbsp; they launched that massive gas attack.</span><br>

				I like the post very much, it has great description, Sam's memory of the father's report is gripping, it's interesting to see someone who is not entirely cool about what they all must face very soon, and the way you wove in the memory of the father telling about what he saw his former son and now an<em> it</em> do, was just great. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">I personally have no objections to your moving forwards to this point, the picture showing etc., but only if the others already in the scene have none. </span><br><br>Likewise with their standing in awkward silence with their plates in hand, with Derrick's chewing celery, their sudden silence and staring at and after Sam... If someone thinks that is not what their characters would do, they should&nbsp; let you know how their characters would have reacted instead and you can edit those details, as you offered. <br><br>I really do like your post&nbsp; - but it leads me to something I take seriously. It's good it was brought up this early into the RP:<br><br><span class="bbc_u">We must all be very careful when it comes to writing about what other players' characters do, how they will react, and about things like cutting off a scene and moving on into another, assuming other players' characters will be in that next scene, too.</span> <br><br>No matter how much sense it makes to move ahead or how good a new scene or great a read it is, if we start deciding what other characters do or cut short their chances to do something, we enter very difficult, often emotionally charged territory, as some RPers practically hate that sort of thing, while others are relaxed about it. <br><br><span class="bbc_u"> I'd rather avoid such situations whenever possible. </span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">To prevent problems or conflicts of this kind, please make it a habit to either avoid making other characters do things in your posts, or first drop the other players involved in a scene a PM</span> (or post in the OOC thread) when you're about to write something that makes it necessary to assume someone else's character is or will be doing something particular you want or need in your post. <span class="bbc_u">Propose your idea, let the other write back whether they're okay with it or what their characters would do instead. </span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Please, ask before you switch into a new scene assuming the others will be in it.

				Well, shucks.&nbsp; :)<br><br>First off, Malina, I seem to have given you the impression that it was a father in my post, when it was intended to be a <em>mother</em>.&nbsp; I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know just how you got that impression, so I can figure out which parts were unclear.&nbsp; (Learning how to write more clearly and effectively is my main purpose in RPing, generally, so these kinds of small things matter to me.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; )<br><br>Second, to Malina again -- your apology was very gracious and generous of you, but not necessary; we seem to have had a simple and innocent misunderstanding.<br><br>Third, my apologies to any of you who felt I acted inappropriately by moving time forward in my post, or by giving your character some action or response you objected to.&nbsp; Such was certainly not my intention.&nbsp; I was under the impression I had portrayed all the characters except Sam in an appropriately passive, non-controlling manner.&nbsp; If I remain in the game, I will be happy to make any requested edits or even remove the post if necessary.<br><br>Finally, Malina, as to whether or not I remain in the game -- if I understand your instructions clearly, then this game will have far more restrictions than I would be interested in following.&nbsp; That's rather disappointing to me, but not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.&nbsp; Before I formally depart, however, I want to make absolutely certain I understood you properly.&nbsp; Am I right that you personally thought I moved time forward in an inappropriate way in my post, and also "powerplayed" or gave other characters inappropriate actions or responses?&nbsp; You seem to spell that out quite explicitly in your note, but you also seem to do so preemptively, as if on behalf of the other players.&nbsp; If you feel that way as the GM, it's best I bow out of the game now, because the liberties I took in my post were necessary for me to enjoy the writing process.&nbsp; I would expect similar latitude in the future if I were to stay in the game, because otherwise, I wouldn't enjoy things.<br><br>Please let me know if I understood you correctly or not.&nbsp; <br><br>If I end up leaving the game (as seems likely), then I apologize for any disruption my departure causes for anyone.&nbsp; Also, I bear no ill will whatsoever towards any of you, and hope you all have a fun game together.

				I personally don't really think that's necessary. I was just going to post anyway but if someone else feels toes were stepped on, then may as well wait for a response.<br><br>What Malina is getting at, I think, is the fact that there was a sort of 'scene' happening, but was more or less overridden by your own, Rick. I personally don't care a whole lot, as I was more than willing to fill in the blanks between Ashleigh saying hi and sitting down to her eating a few things from the table. Others aren't a big fan of that, however, as it does imply that they had indeed gone from talking and essentially forced to be where they ended up at the end of your post. <br><br>You're a great poster, Rick, no doubt about that, but I'm sure you can see how you may have poked the sides of a few of the other posters, no? I wouldn't say it's a limitation by no means, and probably just as a first post that the circumstances were what they were, but I don't foresee any other reasons why this would really ever have to come up again unless it was absolutely called for. <br><br>Not sure if I'm helping at all. lol My brain is still jet lagged, I think.

				<span class="bbc_u">Rick:</span><br><br>That was me misreading it for 'Mr. Christian Guilbert', when you had clearly written: "a Ms. Christine Guilbert" *blushes* It does show how late in the night (early in the morning) it is over here, my concentration is worse than ever... I'm sorry!<br><br>To the main issue: No, I do not mind myself anything that you wrote in your post, which was a great and enjoyable read, a great post, really, as I said. I also like where you took the scene, how you described it, everything.<br><br>My concern is preemptive and general, I want to know the opinion everybody has on this, because I have made the experience that some players feel acutely the slightest interference with how they 'lead' their characters through a game, when other players make their characters perform any kinds of actions. <br><br>I just want to be sure everybody in this game is comfortable with other players doing this occasionally with their characters. I've seen people hit the roof over just such matters, and I thought I'd better mention this early on, to see what everybody thinks about it so we can avoid problems that might arise from it among players. Your post reminded me of not having brought this whole issue up yet and that, since there are no site rules here concerning this, it's very open to interpretation and individual tastes and needs. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">I'd not be surprised if a majority of players is fine with what you did and with similar things being done in the future. But I have a high respect for where people draw lines and can understand why they might want to be in sole and complete control of anything their characters do, and also do not want them to be moved forwards into a new scene without being asked in advance whether they're 'done' with the old scene or plan something else to happen there. </span><br><br>That's why I brought it up. I hope this is clearer now? It was not meant as critique, not at all, it was a - 'hey, this reminds me, we haven't talked about this yet, would any of you have objections to these things'? I must have put it clumsily, if it came across so very different from what I intended it to say. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">As for how I would handle it in this game: If we do indeed have some in this group who would object to things done with their characters, even if it's only in the nature and to the extent you did it in your post, I'd like the others to respect that, yes. </span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">If we have none who object, all the better, but if we do, would it really hurt so much to ask them 'Is it alright if I write that your character slumps down on the bed and starts fidgeting with the pen again?' or 'I'd like to move the scene ahead in time to this and that point, is there anything you'd like to post first, or are you fine with it?'?</span><br><span class="bbc_u"><br>That's why I thought it might be a compromise worth trying to have those who do not mind these things state it here. That'll show whether we have players in our game we need to ask such things in advance.</span><br><br>I'd really hate to see you leave the game, Rick. Could you at least be persuaded to wait for the others' feedback on this issue, and then make up your mind whether, to the extent it might play a role, you can live and write with it or whether you feel it restricts you too much?<br><br>No editing (leave alone removal - that would not be the case at all) of the post is necessary unless one of the players in that scene would have objections to what you posted, and these should result in slight changes only, at least that's what I'd see as likely. <br><br>Please PM me if you need clarification on my view or on the reason why I posted the above. I may well be too careful, unnecessarily concerned about what players might object to or not, it's after all my first time as a GM... <br><br><br><br><span class="bbc_u">As to the others, I'd gladly hear your opinions, how comfortable you are with scenes moving ahead etc., to what limit other players can ascribe actions to your character in their posts. And thanks a lot for your input, Leorobin and Rachubka, it's very helpful! </span><br>

				I didn't take offense to the post and thought it was very well written. I agree with what the others have said regarding the matter, although for future reference I am not a fan of being told what my character is doing without being notified in advance and giving my consent.

				I'm not referring to that post since I wasn't in it and not involved in the game actively yet but since Malina asked for everyone's opinions I will give mine.<br><br>I don't have a problem someone writing my characters actions as long as it is something that I would have her do. Since no one can read my mind it makes it quite difficult to do that without consulting first. Unless it is something obvious, like she is eating then it could be assumed that she would finish eating as long as nothing else happened that would change that in the meantime. I do get touchy about it though and have left roleplays because of it, more when someone writes how my character feels rather than what they do, but either one would rile me up a bit. I would tell someone once then if they did it again I would leave. In this situation being a group of us I suggest we comply with Malina and try to communicate these things beforehand. I don't really see it as a big inconvenience, there is always something else that could be written to complete the post or the action/reaction in question could be put off until a further post or if it really needs someone's reaction then its better to just end the post and wait for them perhaps.<br><br>As to moving scenes forward, this is my first group RP so I am not sure how this would affect me. In duo RP's I have never had a problem with someone changing the scene before I was finished with it but I guess in that situation it's more obvious when it's over. For the most part though I will probably not be able to post as often as others so I would fully understand if people want to move things on instead of waiting for me; it would depend on the situation of course as to how easy or difficult that is to do without writing my characters actions... but for the sake of time, if people are waiting for me to do something and I am not posting then I would accept that someone needs to write a short line about my character to explain why she didn't answer that question or even give her answer for her, for example. If it is something I am not happy with in those circumstances and people have posted further with content that relied on her saying whatever it was she said then I would just let it pass; or if it doesn't immediately affect the story then I would ask the person to edit it.<br><br>Hmm, sorry for writing so much, couldn't seem to get my thoughts across in a concise manner. Hope that is clear anyway.<br><br><del>Rick, I hope you stay I really enjoyed reading your post.</del> Well you posted while I was writing this, guess that's too bad ^^;; I think you are taking it too much to heart, it wasn't really about you as far as I could tell, Malina was just looking for everyone's feelings on the bigger issue of powerplay, not what you specifically did (as far as I can tell). It's your choice though and I wish you the best either way.

				I dunno if I put it in my O/O but my opinions on power gaming or w/e are limited to changing my characters physical or cosmetic appearance, inducing injury or any alteration of his/her current physical situation.<br><br>IE, saying that my character was wearing something but changing into something else, killing my character or saying something happened after a GM event like explosion or gunfire starting up, unless as described by the GM.<br><br>Also, Rick, I don't think you should IMHO. It was one post and there wasn't anything wrong with it. Its a bit early to think of messing anything 'up', thats kind of why we start in the USA instead of getting right into the action, right? Get to know each others styles, what we like or don't like... etc etc.<br><br>As for doing anything, Rick, you really didn't do anything,&nbsp; not to me personally. Just I reasoned, its an 18 hour flight from Hawaii to Germany on an MC-130(Special Operations version of the C-130) and since you can't really jump from 30,000 feet in a civilian air liner. There aren't any bathrooms on a C-130, so sitting down for 18 hours with a full stomach and then a jump from a plane with said stomach wouldn't go over well.

				<br>I've always RPed with the etiquette Leorobin mentioned. I strictly avoid to ascribe actions to other characters without having their player's consent. This includes cutting short scenes they are involved in and might wish to continue.<br><br>From the opinions I have read so far and my own RP experiences, I'd say we'd be on the safer side (avoiding discussions and problems) if we interpreted the <em>no powerplay rule</em> strictly and stuck to it in future. Already five players (myself included) agree bending the rule could be problematic and/or who would generally prefer being asked in advance about scenes being cut off or actions ascribed to their characters.<br><br>We all imagine what a given scene might lead to, others often prepare or even write their posts for it while we are writing ours. We all have a clear idea of what our characters would do or not, of what is typical for them. Even a minor breach of the <em>no powerplay rule</em> might seem a trifle to one player, but not to another. Whithout the <em>no powerplay rule</em>, we'd be eight people who might at any time decide to end a scene and start another, or to ascribe what we deem minor, unimportant actions to someone else's character. That's a lot of potential chaos and dissatisfaction, out of which I can see conflicts arising, especially if it's repeated often.<br><br>RPing lives from cooperation, communication and mutual respect for the others, their ideas and characters as much as it lives from inspired writing. In my experience, consideration regarding other people's wishes and needs cannot harm. Therefore, I propose we write our posts in such a manner that others won't find their characters placed in new situations or scenes without their consent, or 'taken over' even for small, seemingly insignificant actions. <br><br>The <em>no powerplay rule</em> might appear restrictive, but it results in more liberty and ease in our own writing, as it protects our own right to always decide freely what our characters will do. It grants us that our ideas have a chance to come into play, that scenes we find enjoyable and interesting will not end without our consent or even a prior warning. I never felt this rule as a limitation or an encumbrance in my writing process, but as a guarantee of boundaries within which I'd have complete liberty to do with my characters and writing exactly as I please. <br><br><br><strong>DA</strong>, thanks for elaborating!&nbsp; :D<br><br><strong>Tiaan</strong>, don't worry about scenes moving on while you're not there or your holding things up, you'll be fine. We'll always handle that with utmost care (making things 'fit' to your characters usual behaviour) and as closely to your wishes as possible. Often, it's easiest to ignore a character's sudden absence and give the player a chance to reunite the character with the group within their next post. That way, they can decide the reasons for their sudden silence or absence for themselves and their character will blend in again naturally. <br><br>When you know in advance you'll be gone for a few days or a week, you can always let me know and we can together arrange an explanation as to what your character is doing, or you can tell us to assume she's with the group and we'll write for her in the way that respects your wishes and her usual actions/behaviour.

				Candid camera? Naaah, miss shifty eyes. *laughs*<br><br>Right, it seems Rick has made his decision, he removed the post and his character sheet, but as DA has written such a long post that referred to this scene with his Sam, we'll just assume it did happen and someone actually did these things during the meeting, so that no further changes or delays will be necessary. I hope you'll all be fine with this as you would have agreed to leave Rick's post and continue with the scene anyway.

				Well, DA, if you don't mind, change it, but it's not necessary, really.

				About the camera or the changes? I'm pretty sure they'll be fine with the idea of the cameras, it's plausible and a good thought. If someone doesn't like it, we can always let the characters decide to leave them behind after the drop or disenable them, something along these lines.<br><br>You're the only one online right now among the ones in that scene, so I'll make changing what refers to Rick's post your decision.

				Hmmm - well, the best, latest and newest of today will by then probably be an old hat, and what now is being tested and developed with many difficulties and flaws, will probably be an established and reliable thing by then. What now is rare and reserved for very few will probably then have become standard equipment.<br><br>I'd say, if you're familiar with these things, try to use a realistic forecast at what it might have become possible over almost a decade. I'd avoid crazy, unheard of science fiction novel levels, but for this mission, your characters would be given the best, most reliable weapons, protections, clothes and equipment there is to be had. That what can be realistically assumed to be available in about ten years from now. <br><br>If we have people in our group familiar with such developments, I'd be very grateful for their input here, as I must confess I have absolutely no familiarity with or knowledge of such things...

				Well there are actual invisibility devices being created, mostly working with nano tech cameras. New and harder materials for uniforms, and maybe on weapons too. Both to increase, resistance, durability and reduce weight.<br><br>GPS should be more accurate and it should be easier to get satellite images on simple equipment as well as internet and communication through satellites.

				GPS, the better material for uniforms and weapons, and definitely also a lightweight version of today's bullet protection plates (no idea what they're really called, but I think you know what I mean) are welcome. Better fabrics for bulletproof vests, too, for example, maybe a solution for their weakest spots, the secion under your arms etc., from where a bullet can still be very deadly. Better helmets, too. Things like that. And for clothes a fabric that is light, endurable, and able to regulate temperature, helping the body cool when it's hot and stay warm when it's cold. <br><br>I'd say solar energy will also have made immense progress, so that there might be ways for the team to profit from that? They're presently developing such efficient, resistant and thin foils for it, in ten years, that'll be the norm, I guess.<br><br>The invisibility cameras - I'm fascinated by the idea, I saw a documentary once about a technique to project an image (or film) on any given surface without causing any distortions in the picture no matter what the surface was, it was incredible. I can imagine a similar technique could be used in future to hide a person (even when moving) behind such an image. If that's possible already, why not ten years from now the nanotech cameras you described?<br><br>Also, I could imagine for wounds there'd be better glues and spray-on 'band-aids' (again, lack of terms) to seal them and increase the rate at which they heal. <br><br>Greater efficiency in techniques to enrich food supplies, too, so that they'd weigh less and take less space, but have sufficient calorie value, minerals and vitamins. <br><br>Easier and faster ways to render 'contaminated' water drinkable.<br><br>Gosh, I could think of so much... <br><br><br><strong>Gravik</strong>, that sounds intriguing, are you cooking something up with Tiaan already? *beams* Do you care to enlighten me/us? *raises her eyebrows and looks very curious*

				I have a few ideas I wanna run by you all in terms of technology, this is stuff actually in existance by the US Army but not going to be mass produced and distributed to combat troops until at least 2020 or later, mass produced meaning EVERY infantryman would have one.<br><br>Furture Land Warrior is a large scale R&amp;D fest started by the Army in 2006 or 2007. Its pretty much a bunch of high tech gear slapped onto an infantryman to make him more modern and better equiped to deal with the modern battlefield.&nbsp; It consists of 5 main parts.<br><br>Basically, it consists of technology allowing a regular infantryman more awareness and capability to survive and do his job extremely effectively. It has high quality communications inside the soldier helmet, personal mounted video devices in the form of monocles or simple glasses/goggles which create a HUD, including IFF trackers on friendly vehicles and likewise armed infantrymen. There are even technologies today that allow a Corpsman or medic to have a device on his/her person which allows them to remotely, from a distance, track and identify any wounds another soldier has suffered based on monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels and blood flow(If flow is severely limited in the leg, its possible the leg is gone, though if the food is there thats ruled out, so its possible he was shot in the leg) so when the medic arrives, he already knows exactly what is wrong with the soldier. They are even creating kevlar vests that have AED's built in to do CPR remotely.<br><br>Then of course they have HUD and awareness technology, as described above. Squad leaders typically have them, if you've ever played GRAW you have an extremely exaggerated version of the Furture Warrior system right there. The SL can see friendly vehicles, even satellite images of the battlefield, and friendly troops from behind buildings, and everything, all managed by satellite. Given that that is today technology, in blah blah years from NOW, its not hard to imagine said system incorporating a technology to identify anyone not with force tracking technology, civilians and such, even detecting the chemical residue on weapons and labeling them potentially hostile from a mile away or behind buildings, even under ground, etc etc...<br><br>Thats just what I can explain, there is shit out there that I can't even begin to put into words... they have laser defense systems building into tanks that can destroy RPGs, and even small ones on soldiers that can destroy incoming bullets, shrapnel... you name it. It more or less matters how techy you want us to be. All of the above is actual stuff, none of it is in the field en masse, but the Future Warrior system has already seen action in Afghanistan and Iraq, so its legit stuff, if a sci-fi nerds wet dream. :P<br><br><br><br>http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/83/Land_Warrior_060707.jpg (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/83/Land_Warrior_060707.jpg)<br><br><br>See there.<br><br>What he has is the basic HUD eye piece, communications network, and an M4A1 with what I can see are thermal imaging optics, what looks like a camera on the right side of the weapon or a flashlight, a PEQ-2 just behind the front aiming sight. I don't know what that is under the thermal optic, might be the camera or some sort of sensor, I'm not entirely certain.

				<span class="bbc_u">I'd approve of all of this, but I'll leave the decisions of how well and technically advanced your characters shall be equipped to you all. On a side note, it does look like a lot to carry around with you. Mind that there'll be no vehicles characters can use for transportation, you should take that in consideration when you chose their equipment, whatever characters take along, they'll have to carry on their person.</span><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Here's a storytelling aspect I'd like you to consider your decisions under:</span> <br><br>If something gives too much of an advantage to your characters, there's often a slight danger the opponents they encounter can seem too easy to overcome, too boring to deal with for the roleplayers, which would lead to a necessity to boost the enemy and throw bigger and more impressive stuff against them to have more chill and thrill in the game's atmosphere. <br><br>There is a certain appeal in having a remaining vulnerability in our characters, even if we are all know in an RP like this they will neither be wounded or killed without our permission. <br><br>If, for example, you can detect enemies from miles off, no matter where they hide, can estimate their numbers, observe their approach, prepare for them, the element of surprise is practically ruled out. If darkness doesn't prevent your characters from seeing everything, it's less spooky. If you can get in and out of everywhere, avoid all injuries, never need to let the infected come close enough to make your character experience fear, of being infected or of being killed, will this still be fun for you?<br><br>It's a question of what you prefer, a clear (technique induced) superiority in your characters that can only be outweighed by an attack of infected of such dimensions even this superiority is challenged, or the more personal challenge, their overcoming weaknesses and fears, being forced to make do with little, find themselves in the blackness of the night with no or few means to tell what is going on outside, maybe close to them?<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Just picture a few scenarios and scenes in different varieties and decide what you'd find more fun to play. Whatever equipment you then want your characters to have, they'll be given.&nbsp; </span>:D<br>

				<strong>Leorobin</strong>, I've seen you posted once more in the team's thread the others left already, but not yet in the survivors' thread where everybody is posting from now on, the team, too, while preparing for the jump - was that on purpose or accidental?&nbsp; ;)<br><br><span class="bbc_u">I'd encourage you all to post, you don't have to refer much to the long time on the plane at all, but can move on to the (preparation for the) jump, the landing, and into action very soon.

				Double post fail...<br><br>But to avoid any confusion, when I say numbers and spell them in letters, I'm mimicking them being said separately. So 27 becomes Two-Seven, not said as though it was twenty seven but Two Seven separately. When I just use numbers, 27, it means they are being said together as twenty seven. Hope that makes sense.

				&nbsp;;D Thanks! It's always good to hear that, but especially after I had to practically wrestle the post from my reluctant brain thanks to my extreme tiredness. <br><br>I'm so tired (in which state I'm easily startled) I almost shrieked when a little chain reaction happened over here. My metal ruler apparently had slowly slipped sideways, it must have knocked against my desk calender, as the calender suddenly toppled over into the row of coloured inks (tusche) standing on a small wooden box, and all of them clanked and rattled down onto my desk while I was lost in dreamy, absentminded musings (translation -&gt; dozing off?&nbsp; ::)). <strong>"Clank, crash, bang!"</strong> Up I jump, wide eyed, almost even wide awake (for two whole minutes)... I'd say that was enough excitement for one day. ;) *sends herself to bed*<br>

				&nbsp;;D Indeed, it's so exciting! Heh, and I had to look up Vinxel, had never heard of it - then thought 'Wow, so typical for <strong>DA</strong>, to make the perfect choice'. <del> I'll make Vinxel the village in my post, so that Franka is already close to the jump site - I cannot wait to have her meet all your characters.&nbsp; &nbsp;</del>XD <br><br>Okay, as Jacob stays in the crashed plane, and the village Franka's been to is a good distance away, as it says in her post, but we need to get everybody together, the first meeting now has to be somewhere near his crash site. So, we'll assume the crashed plane is close to Vinxel, right where the team will drop.

				Very true, <strong>Gravik</strong>, and that definitely and obviously includes you!&nbsp; XD<br><br>Since he's staying in the plane, we'll assume Jacob's plane crashed right where the team is making the jump, so that they'll land within sight of it. I'll make a time skip forwards of a few days with my character (as her timeline affects no others, we can assume what has been posted for her happened a few days earlier), and have her investigate the crash site, so that she catches up with Jacob, as you suggested in your PM. Then all characters will be in the same place as soon as the others land. Sounds good?

				Yes, I think it would be best - if some players maybe abandoned us by now, we could simply assume they got lost during the jump? I'd still like to continue the game, very much so, a small group could be just as much fun and maybe move on a lot faster (posting-wise). What about you? Would you still go ahead with a possibly much smaller group? It might be a rescue plan before the RP completely falls asleep waiting for some people to post...

				Absolutely!

If some people don't post now and later want to rejoin, we can always say their characters landed a few miles off course and needed to catch up first...

				<strong>Great posts once again everybody, I'm glad we're on the move again!&nbsp; XD</strong><br><br>Ahem - yes, and I'm in another group game now, and I've seen a lot of chatting and small talk in their OOC thread - please, feel free to chat away in here, too, if you'd like to. I'm a lousy, lousy thread-chit-chatter myself, I always loose track and forget to post unless I've got information to add or am asked something, but that doesn't mean you cannot have fun getting to know each other better, right?&nbsp; ;D<br><br><br>In my post, I concluded Franka's meeting with Gravik's Jake, so that we both can post independently from now on ( -&gt; without delays caused by waiting for the other's next post). <br><br>All of the team has been landing close enough to the plane for Jake to have noticed something is going on unless he's asleep. He won't hear most of the noises inside his plane, though. Maybe he'll see the LED light. He can have heard the other plane, but all the other noises are too soft and too far away to be heard unless someone is outside and more or less nearby.<br><br>In the quiet of that night, with them being nearer to her, sounds carrying,&nbsp; and them listening intently anyway, all members of the team might have heard that one infected and Franka taking him down, those with night-vision or similar help might spot her between the tress. Feel free to 'catch' her, approach her, run into her by accident - or ignore her - just as you please.

				He's maybe a kilometre away, probably less, the others are all in the same spot by now, at the treeline of the forest, where it opens towards the open fields into which the plane crashed. They cannot see it (recognise it as a plane) now because a small hill and a few trees are in the way, but if Jake has heard the plane fly over and maybe climbed on the roof of his plane to see what's going on, with his binoculars (if they've got night vision), he might have observed the drop, but he'll definitely have seen the LED light Anna used for signalling, and since all are now gathered right where she used that light, he'd find them if he'd head that way. I hope that helped?&nbsp; :D

				Okay, I've shaken off my cold and feel somewhat more clearheaded, so... *rubs her hands* <br><br><strong>Here's a quick vote for you guys:</strong><br><br><span class="bbc_u">Right now, do you want lots of infected coming and have a wild shoot, chase and flight through the dark, or would you prefer the team to make it through more or less unnoticed and manage to reach their destination safely, secure the building etc.?</span><br><br>I'm fine with both.<br><br>Also, for the following days the team lives through, I can pour infected all over you from this point on, or, I can give you a quiet beginning with a few days of exploring, setting up camp, bonding, getting the supplies together, the lab ready, scouting the region, hunting etc., with some smaller and rarer confrontations with Infected.<br><br>Keep in mind for your decision: There will be lots and lots of fight, chase, siege, shoot, hide and run once the city itself is reached. The moment a group of infected starts to make a racket while the characters are in Bonn, there'll be hardly a moment of quiet anymore, they'll be up against an increasing flood of infected on their heels, thousands of them, as the city wakes up to gory glory. <br><br>Prior to the city spectacle that will definitely come, what happens depends on what you'd prefer to see. If you want to rather focus on fighting, flying, etc., I'll bring in infected very often long before they reach Bonn, and I'll also give you the <em>carte blanche</em> to do the same, each player then may decide to let infected show up around every corner and at any moment you want. All it takes, after all, is a few cloudy days and a bit of noise, and they 'wake' out of their hibernation state and will be coming at the group day and night. ;)<br><br>Let me know what you'd like to see, if we have opposite wishes, we'll just let the characters split up into appropriate groups, meaning those who want a quieter time with personal interaction (or some sex or romance?) and some hunting, preparing and whatnot, will go exploring together (for example), and have little contact with infected, while those who want action and massive attacks of infected, will go another way and meet that when they're out there.<br><br>Sounds good?

				Maybe we could mix it. Days where the Infected are nowhere to be found and days where we can't even use the streets to move about, being littered with dead people as they are, y'know :P<br><br>And for the right here and now, I think we should do it like its cool and have a crap load of infected, we need to let the professional military characters show their stuff off at some point.

				<strong>It was brought to my attention that some of you might get antsy to see sex happen in our RP?</strong> *raises an eyebrow and grins*<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Whoever wants to have characters hook up, either in some relationship or just for steaming hot fun/stress release activities, go for it, just PM each other to organise things if you already know who you/your character would be interested in!&nbsp; ;D <br><br>I've got no objections at all to see sex and/or romance happen, as much of it as you'd like and in whatever fashion would attract you (the RP is in 'extreme', after all, so, no restrictions). <br><br>We could also post general info in here, for all to see whether you as players are interested, and whether your character would be...</span><br><br>Having brought it up, I'll make the start.&nbsp; ;)<br><br>I'd generally be interested. Unless it's NC, I'd naturally chose someone Franka would find attractive. I've got no preferences concerning the other character's gender. <br><br>However, Franka isn't likely to initiate anything, as she doesn't know whether she is a carrier of the virus (Ashleigh could test her blood, though, which would 'clear' her). Also, she's not used to letting anyone close and is very inexperienced with sex, never had more than endless kissing and intensive petting with her first boyfriend and only partner ever (she was sixteen then), which was before the outbreak. <br><br>She'd probably be self-conscious, shy (in the gruff way), reluctant to let herself be touched, not least because of her scars. These don't bother her among fellow survivors, but with a bunch of people around who came straight from a civilised world full of flawless looking, scarless women with nice haircuts, lotions, make up, sexy clothes and whatnot at their disposal, she'd feel almost ugly in comparison, I suppose. The last time she really thought about herself in terms of sexual attraction was when her world was still a good place...

				Heh heh heh... the SO is sleeping so I hope I can manage to post something today. As for Ashleigh's opinion on the naughty...<br><br>She's young, she's studious, and all that she's really ever known about the deed is through books and a misadventure with one of her colleagues at a work party. Essentially she's going to be rather awkward to any sort of approaches on her and likely brush them away as it is much easier than giving in and having to deal with the stress.<br><br>Like Franka, Ashleigh's more likely to be pursued than to pursue. Given the nature of the RP and how the characters already feel about the young scientist, I'm just going to imagine that there's going to be some sort of guardian dynamic in any sort of relationship that develops. Naturally, that's pretty much everybody in this RP besides Franka herself. (Which is a shame! Unless of course the two of us actually bother to try and figure something out between the two but it would be an incredible stretch for the two to hook up one way or another)<br><br>If things do get as far as everyone wants, Ashleigh is probably going to play as though she knows what she's doing. It's not in her nature to really take orders or suggestions from anyone in a subject that is deemed 'common knowledge', but would really appreciate some guidance if things happen between herself and a more experienced character. Considering the setting, she's likely not to really fall in love with anyone unless the circumstances change (like a vow of constantly keeping an eye on her or something, you know?).&nbsp; She knows she's pretty but will never acknowledge it as again, it's easier to say no than to give in. <br><br>Uh... that's about it. NC would be weird in this setting but I suppose it could work somehow. Ashleigh's not opposed to the same gender, but aside from Hackett, I can't think of a way that it would occur and make any real sense. I mean, Ashleigh could be taking Franka's blood, and for some reason the conversation goes south and things could get a little warm in the lab, but that's ridiculous! The girl would likely have to be 'vulnerable' to really be advanced on.<br><br>Turns out that wasn't about it. lol Oh well.

				Hmm the sexy time. Derrick is going to pursue, but he's still dealing with the news of his baby's mother being dead. So he'll just be looking to take the edge off. But total apex predator, and I suppose we will just have to wait and see who has his eye on.<br><br>I'm for it though.

				Anna is game for anyone who shows some bit of self preservation, survival instinct... and anyone who can relate to her about enlisted life in the Navy, especially from her view. She may not actively show it IC, but she does have some deep seeded grudges against her superiors.<br><br>Also, on NC, unless its the Infected(Do they even!?) its unlikely Hackett would be easily taken down by anyone, she is quite well trained in hand to hand though if someone caught her by surprise or enacted other means of NC, imagination necessary, I'm sure its possible. Otherwise, it'd take two at least, maybe more.<br><br>...<br><br>*ahem*

				Hello everybody! :D<br><br>Rachubka sent me a PM asking us to take her Ashleigh along, she is terribly busy in RL, and cannot come onto E often, but she hopes that will change, and until then, for us to keep Ashleigh in the game. <br><br>Darkcide will be gone all June, he let Derrick stray away form the other characters for that reason.

Well, we'll see what <em>soon</em> turns out to be. ;)<br><br><br><strong>Leorobin and DA, in view of this situation, are you still interested to continue?</strong> I'd write with the two of you for as long as you enjoy it, I'd even RP with only one left, but I'd perfectly understand if you feel that the game has run out of steam and should be put to rest, or at least on hold till the others (perhaps) come back... ;)<br><br><br>Let me know what you think, <br><br>Malina

				Alright, 'tis done... ;D <br><br>When your characters follow Franka inside, they'll find themselves, as Franka had described it to Anna, on a stretch of grass between the outer wall and the inner wall, which is just as high. From the outside, the outer wall looks completely overgrown with ivy etc., but in fact the ivy is not attached to the wall itself, but grows up a net of lines spun before the wall (it would be impossible to climb across the wall with its help, the plants are only used to keep the wall hidden from view, from being noticed as what it is, and to make everything look abandoned, uninhabited for years).

				*laughs* Leo isn't around, he said so in his A/A and also PMed me, according to his wishes, we'll take his character along, hoping he might be able to return in a few weeks. We can either stick to the posting order we had during the last turn, or, if you feel you can keep track on things without a set order, we can just let everybody post whenever they want to, as that would mean we'd not have to wait for those who post slowly or forget it's their turn... <br><br>Also, once in the house, we can let people split up into smaller groups/pairs if they/we want. I was planning to let Utem conveniently (as Leo is away) be given some task he can do alone (watch the security cameras? Scout? Hunt, secure food or equipment dropped by the plane, as he's a survival specialist?), while the others rest now that it's safe, take showers, baths, eat, talk, repair/prepare stuff, get to know each other, plan the mission's next steps, they could build a provisional small lab, Ashleigh could examine Franka's blood... They all need rest and sleep now, and maybe an interlude of quiet days (infected-wise) would be cool, sex/love interests could be RPed, they also could go out in small groups etc...

				<span class="bbc_u">Let's continue without a fixed posting order. I don't want to hold the majority to the much slower pace of those too busy to post or struggling with their muses, nor do I want those who lack the time or mood to post more often/faster for this game to feel pressured to post, or guilty if they can't manage. </span><br><br>In direct interaction, or in one on one scenes, with these slower posted characters, it is necessary to wait for their next post, of course. In other situations where I'd see it as a necessity that each player gets their turn, I'd post in OOC along the lines: Stop of random order for now, let's wait till everybody's character has had their chance to (re)act or speak up, and stick to that order until the scene concludes. <br><br>But when, like now, there's several people and conversations, no IC group decisions outstanding, when the subject of the conservation is nothing of direct importance for those not involved, mostly private talk, friendly banter, things like that, we can move along as fast as we want, post as often as we like. <br><br><span class="bbc_u">It would also make a lot of sense, as the characters split up in a 'buddy system', to team up for scenes with players who usually post at a pace you are comfortable with, enjoy most. </span><br><br>For example, right now, Gravik and Rachubka would make a good 'posting-team' in this sense because they're both less active/fast in posting and have been so for a while. They could assume Ashleigh and Jake are unpacking and setting things up for the lab, and that's why they don't talk much or pay close attention to the rest of the group's casual talk. <br><br>I don't want to hold the entire game up for weeks just to have everybody's character make a comment in some casual conversation... ;)<br><br><br><div align="center">*****************************</div><br><br><br>So, DA, post whenever you feel like it, okay?&nbsp; :D <br><br>I'll keep an eye on the game, and if need be, I'll slow us down again, or, when in doubt, I'll contact the currently or permanently slower posting players to make sure it's still fine with them. I hope we'll naturally find a decent middle way, speedwise, a balance we all enjoy. <br><br>*laughs* Yes, Derrick is a charmer. ^^ <br><br>Maybe there's some hot love-hate-fight-fuck sort of something brewing up with someone? *grins and winks*

				I won't get any study done tonight so I'm all yours. ^^ Well the raft turned over and we all fell to the water, I saw her fall and tried to keep myself close but the raft hitted me in the hat and sunk me to the bottom. I kicked the bottom and managed to come up under the raft. It was my first but I had some knowledge so I got out of under it and leaned back, looking around for my friend, others, the raft or the securiy kayaks. I tried to safe the oars and realized how dumb it was when I got hold of the kayak and released them. At that moment I noticed my friend brake the surface and I pulled her to the kayak and then we were pulled to our raft that was upright already. She is scared of rivers and sea, so she says that she just recalled being pulled to the kayak and then to the raft, she didn't recalled who so she thanked me throughly. The I held her in the raft twice when we were close to turn over again. <br><br>Lots of adrenaline but lots of fun as well.

				All mine, muahahaa. *practises ominous evil voice and laughter as Halloween is nearing*<br><br>Oh, that sure was exciting, adrenalin in overabundance, cool!&nbsp; XD Your friend, if she's scared of the river or the sea, of being in the water, this must have asked a lot of courage of her, and been downright scary when the raft turned and she was out and under... I admire her for it, many wouldn't be persuaded to come on such a rafting expedition with that fear in their system. You did really well, especially after being hit on the head by a raft, and she's sure lucky you watched out for her the way you did. <br><br>I remember the rush of panic I once had in the Atlantic right after a storm. It was still forbidden to swim there, but we did (I could never resists such things, storms, thunderstorms, the sea going wild). There were such giant waves, beautiful, the biggest I've ever seen. They had created a sandbank overnight you couldn't see from the shore, and only when you were almost on top of it. My wave broke and crashed me onto it so hard it knocked all the air out of my lungs, and then the next ones rolled in very fast, which made it very hard to push up and away from the bank enough to draw a breath before more water slammed you back and weighed you down (once I could breath again at all). I might have made it out eventually, but someone had seen me and pulled me away sideways. Maybe he rescued me, maybe not, but it sure felt good to be in his arms and catch my breath again. ;)

				I love high waves and wild sea as well, it is more dangerous but there is something about the sheer power of the water that draws me. In fact I like 'fighting' against the sea, standing so the waves crash around me and diving into them just as they are closing...I usually end up well but I've got a few scares as yours. I guess it does feel nice to be rescued like that. ;)<br><br>Actually I'm of the few people that can say that I was run over by a kayak.&nbsp; ::) And it was supposed to be there as part of the security team. <br><br>In part I felt guilty for it since I was amongst those that persuaded her to try it.

Not to mention Utem who has been, and still is, in the same room with Ashley ever since their arrival in the house, and has offered her both help and an opportunity to chat....

				*laughs and huggles* As long as we don't all confuse and botch simultaneously, we should always have someone on board to come to our rescue when we read cross-eyed and think in slipknots. ;)

				I've sent out a mass PM to all my RP partners because I'm so very slow these days with RP replies, which won't improve soon at all, I'm afraid, and I'd be glad if you all could drop me a line regarding this game. If too many are bored/exasperated by my sluggishness, or have lost interest or inspiration by now, it might mean we'd better end this RP. I'll not reveal who answered which way to my PM, of course, but I'll post the count of votes saying 'continue' or 'end it' (or maybe 'put on hold for a bit'?), and depending on this count, I/we will decide what best to do...<br><br>Thanks a lot and - hugs to you all!&nbsp; :D

				Wheee, Leo! *hugs* You look very festive - I know it's a Halloween avatar, but the colours work so well for Christmas, too!&nbsp; XD<br><br>Thanks for your vote! <br><br>I'll post the result when all have PMed me their wishes (or there's a clear majority for one of the choices), so that all can make up their minds mostly independent of other opinions. ;)

				*laughs* Alright, that makes three votes for 'continue'. <br><br>With most of you still interested, despite my muse playing <em>Sleeping Beauty</em>, my decision, of course, is to keep going. ^^<br><br>Thanks so much, for your patience and lingering interest, and for responding so fast with your decisions/votes, yet again. You're a fantastic group to RP with, and I'm very glad you're still on board, and so very relieved my sluggishness didn't/won't spoil the game for you!&nbsp; XD<br><br>
