Everything alright? Guys still good? Been a really long pause.

[Thom Frankfurt]

I'm alright. That new make over that the powers to be gave this site may have take some of the wind out of everyone's sails.

[Spokes]

Sorry Janitor, things have gotten a little crazy on my end. I will have something up by tomorrow (Saturday MST) evening.

[Sparks Murphey]

Just had to pull out all the stops for a job. On the up side, we've got some national media coverage out of it, but I've been operating on late nights and early mornings for longer than ideal, culminating in an all nighter last night. Today's the exhibition, though, so I can relax for a bit after this (hopefully) and get some writing up.

[Janitor101]

If I can get one more post, then I'll give this a push forward.
We're so close to the end.

[Sparks Murphey]

My apologies, I'll get on it.

[Janitor101]

Sorry about the abrupt silence from me, I lost the job I had gotten in late may, and trying to pick up pieces and move on.
You all still in? Some of you have said so, but haven't posted for some time.

If you guys want to stop, or can't manage this anymore. I'll write a summary of what happens from where we are to the end.
Won't be as exciting as RPing it, but it'd open up the table for future RPs when y'all have time.

I should have rewritten the post I had a day or three ago in the next day.

[Spokes]

Still here, still in. Hang in there Janitor-- this too shall pass.

[Sparks Murphey]

OMG POST!

Sorry that took so long! I've been faced with some heavy creative block. Finally seem to be getting past it, and though the post still isn't up to where I was hoping it would be, it's better than nothing.

I've been in the same boat as well lately. That shuffling that the powers that be on here really took a lot of wind out of my sails. But on the Brightside, things are looking up for me and I have some ideas for posts. In other words, I'm still interested, Janitor!

[Janitor101]

And to make all of our lack of time/creative juices even worse. I have three potential MechWarrior RPs in various stages of readiness. Got two parts for Vega's Havoks lined up. Then I got another one which combines MechWarrior and my ultimate favorite of all time: Alternate History.

Will get a post up soon.

Alternate History? I'm intrigued, but I've gotta ask, what do you mean? The Axis wins WWII? Cameron kills the Ursurper? The Wolves win the Trial of Grievance? No Clan invasion? The Fed-Com foused all their attention against the Combine in the 4th? There's a lot of things that you could play with in the BT history...

[Janitor101]

Clans win the Battle of Tukayyid. Concept as it stand now is super crapsack world for anyone not tankbred, ala- "Papieren Bitte".

Have to rework some of it, since I made a mistake about how Tukayyid was fought, but the wider concept remains the same.

I would play TOG in the Havoks games, but I would have to pass on the alternate Tukayyid aftermath one. I have too much writing and thought invested in the Clans (especially Wolf) to even want to read it.

[The Shepherd]

I'm still in to finish this one off. Sorry to hear about your rotten luck. Not been a particularly fun few months on this end either. Looking up through. Hope it does for you too very soon

Was waiting on a response from Havok about our concerns to post again. Will be hot on your heels when you do Janitor.

[dal10]

sorry for having disappeared for forever. To say RL had gotten interesting would be an understatement. I'm up for finishing this if anyone else still wants to.

[Janitor101]

Finally got my lazy ass up and updated, rolled us forward to the Jarrun Mall, any engagements between the Academy and Mall would have been easily swept aside because Duke Cedric knew where everything was and how to efficiently defeat it, Mall is the first of a line of Loyalist fallback points.

Cedric isn't much of a leader, and he's not used to the mech he's in, he's neglected to give orders and is trudging out to engage.

[Thom Frankfurt]

NICE!!! Epicly scaled battle taking place very, very, soon. Uh, give me a couple of days to stew over this one. There's grips of targets out there for us to choose from, and well, I feel like I just walked into an all you can eat buffet and don't know where to start.

[Janitor101]

Now begins the fun stuff.

EDIT: Working on a detailed battlemap with more information and troop positions as of right now (3pm EDT, 06/30/2014) so you cans have a clearer idea of what you have to deal with.

EDIT2: Here's the quick and dirty map, I don't think I forgot anything.

Update: Work gave us the 4th off and are now working us like dogs to make up for the lost time. I'll try to squeeze a post in.
