I thought Thom was saying he bought it?

Chris tried to think back to think if they had salvaged any munitions on their last run. They certainly had none in the garage. Still, he was now happy that he didn't take the money when somebody had offered 3,000 c-bills for that TAG laser.

I think Thom was saying that, were he in the position of a seller, he wouldn't sell it for less than 30,000, and thereby raising questions about whether Chris would have ever accepted 3,000. I figure that 3,000 will buy you a lot of cans of beans, and that when you are desperate, you might care a lot less about what you could potentially get for a non-edible laser system, and how many cans of beans that guy there is offering you right now.

Ahhhhhhh...Sense is made.

Nope. Nik had one from when he stole that RVN-3L Raven from the MAC, but I fluffed it as being damaged (along with the BAP) during his escape, considering he's not going to use either one. It also allowed him to keep the IS on the Chameleon standard.

Oh god... I totally forgot about the RP. I'm so sorry guys, it slipped my mind entirely. I was gone from home for a day and yeah... T_T

Edit: I hope there's still room for me.

LMAO...

[guardian wolf]

Thank you Sparks for clearing that up. Now back onto our main event.

[Thom Frankfurt]

yeah... "GAME ON!"

[Rasengetsu]

Well this is funny. I just read what I missed... Basically I miss 3 days of RP and I'm not even late! LOL

[Thom Frankfurt]

I remember this one time when we were RPing in the 'Windborn Raven' and nobody was posting so I went to play some Skyrim... a few hours I logged on to check and see if there were any post and there were two more pages of postings.

[Rasengetsu]

So this one time at band camp... Lol
Seriously though, I was gone for like 5 days and the RP is still at the same spot, but the first few days when we started we got 3 pages xD

[Thom Frankfurt]

Yeah. Waiting on our Gm to give the greenlight for the mission to start.

[Rasengetsu]

We should watch random Youtube videos while we wait! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!

errr ... wut ?

Sorry, fellas - I won't be posting much on weekends. Probably shoulda brought that up sooner.

The briefing kinda went on longer than I was expecting; it's because people were asking good questions and giving good suggestions though, so that's okay. At any rate, I think I'd like to fast-forward to the drop just to expedite things; if there are no objections to that, the post'll go up tomorrow!

GM Rule #1. Nothing ever goes as planned, PC's have a way of throwing a monkey wrench into any well planned game.

[Rasengetsu]

Indeed. This one time I was playing tabletop and we start fighting this really over powered boss that we were supposed to lose to and surrender, but then I got an Ulric's Fury and 1shot him with my bow. GM was soooooo mad xD

That's for sure. Normally I don't have any presupposed outcomes in mind; I have a scenario crafted, but how the players want to approach it is up to them. I'd rather watch them come up with their own solution than watch them trying to figure out the solution that I had in mind. That leads to a lot of games where I have no idea what the players are going to do, and I'm just improvising moment-to-moment.

That kind of an open-ended approach is really hard to manage with this many players, though; it gets messy if you have a dozen different people each trying to do their own thing. At that point, I prefer a scenario like this one - the players can put their own touches on it, but it's more "here's the plan" than "what's the plan?"

That way I can be the one throwing the monkey wrenches. Heh.

[Rasengetsu]

Hell naw! I'll be the one to throw the monkey wrenches! D:<

[Thom Frankfurt]

GM rule #2. Not all monkey wrenches are bad.
