Sparks Murphey, on 16 February 2013 - 01:12 AM, said:
In the city of Saddleport, the Lyran defense is in shambles. They are cut-off from their command, disorganised, damaged and injured, and outnumbered. A small group of soldiers, mercenaries and ne’er-do-wells attempt to get themselves and any civilians they can through a thousand kilometres of enemy territory to New Cartris, where the last few DropShips are loading up.
This RP is intended to be invite only. As so often happens, I announced that I was thinking of running an RP, and immediately had ten gazillion player requests. So, to prevent that getting out of hand, I’m limiting it to just those I’ve invited. If we start to lose numbers, I’ll consider inviting some more.
I’d like to keep this story moving, so if you want to play in it, I expect a benchmark of a couple of posts a week. Useful, story-related posts in the OOC thread can help count towards that if you’ve not got much to do, but ideally, go find something to do instead (or PM me; I’m quite permissive as a GM, so I’ll probably find a way to say yes).
As far as themes go, I want to focus on the characters’ lack of resources. The Clans are an obstacle, but the main question isn’t “Can we defeat the Clans?”, more “How do we get past them without outside support, repair facilities, the ability to move through open terrain, etc.”
As far as characters go, I’m open to pretty much anyone who would be involved in such an evacuation, as long as they don’t go against the above “lack of resources” theme in brute ways (no commanders of regiment-strong BattleMech units, for instance). More subtle ways (like a black marketeer on the run, for instance) are cool, though. Leftenant Adrianna Delfino of the 25th Arcturan Guards will be my main tool for steering the story.
So without further ado, let's see some character bios!

There's also no God Mode. Oh yeah and the forums are usually pretty dead on the weekends.

also i suppose it is time to get a short post up about how all of my tankers are still passed out in the tank, with them all probably laying on top of one of another due to lack of space.

Just a thought Komedian, but the damaged helicopter they're scavenging fuel from has an SRM launcher on it. Might be a good opportunity to top off your Commando's ammo bins.

ADDENDUM:
Contacted whtwlf. She's not sure when she'll be deploying to her first assignment- it's possible she may be where she is for a while yet as a holdover. On the positive side, though, she's going to try and get a Wifi Hotspot connection if that happens so she'll at least have some access to this.
