OOC Thread

[LittleH13]

+1 to Holt for the section labeled in red. I reward honesty. Holt found the error from the previous turn and even though he did not do the orders for that turn he let us know about it.

Hi guys, I apologize for not adressing this sooner. If you have sent me PMs on the subject, please be aware that I have a double-digit number of PMs in my box right now so I may not have read them yet... I'm not ignoring you, just un-burying myself right now.

As best as I can tell, what happened OOC is:


•In turn 37, a combined WIE/DC naval force entered Leskovic on naval engagement orders. They found no opposition in space.
•No ground engagement occured, and the planet remained under JF control (albeit with hostile warships in orbit).
•Due to some creative movement orders, the DC force ended its turn in a different hex, effectively leaving the WIE holding the bag.
•Based on the OOC commentary here, it appears that the DC did not notify the WIE of this "maneuver."

IC, this is the sequence of events:


•Turn 37 - Combined DC and WIE forces enter the system.
•Turn 37 - DC force leaves the system (presumedly right at the end of the turn).
•Turn 38 - Clan counterattack force arrives, rolling a higher initiative than the WIE.
•Turn 38 - Clan blockade is in place prior to WIE leaving the system.
•Turn 38 - WIE commanders realize they have been shafted by their Inner Sphere allies yet again.


As some have correctly pointed out, the rules rollback on bloackeds does not take effect until next turn. This is in direct response to player feedback asking for more lead time on rules changes (which in turn grew out of dissatisfaction with the "lightning erratas" that occasionally occured on CBT).

Having said that, I have no problem with the new rules being implemented in this thread as long as there are no objections. That's a decision for you all to make as players.

Please shoot me a PM if there are additional concerns or issues growing out of this and I will try to address them ASAP. I will also answer any addition items that have already been PM'd to me as soon as I get caught up on my backlog.

Well, Dave, if YOU need another week to take it on slowly, then I am all for it. I really was worrying, and knowing I will have to do 2 Order Sheets now.. Next turn, I am done with the Falcons though.

I would like to have one more week. But it's just me.

[Daemonknight]

hey Marlin, if doing the falcons will be too much for you, i'll do it. i might just need to ask your help on a few things here and there though. if it lessens your workload. i've been trying to spend some time with the order sheet since you sent it to me, i think i've got a ok handle on it so far.

[Marlin]

Deal.

[Jeyar]

BTW - who is doing the CoPS this turn?

I know things were messed up last turn, but wanted it worked out a bit this turn early...

I don't believe I received a COPS sheet for turn 38, so if you want to tackle them for 39 just start with the 37 sheet and go from there.

[Jeyar]

Hmmm...

I was told I thought that a turn 38 was turned in "early".

However in either case, if I can get a copy of turn 37, I'll get right on that.

I just checked the GM thread and confirmed that I don't have any 38 orders for COPS. I just forwarded you the turn 37 sheet for reference.

Congratulations you just spawned a new VIP with it's own Special Ops team to settle their Vendetta against you for nuking everyone they ever loves. "Yvonne ... was such a nice girl once ... and then they Nuked New Avalon..."

You know it might not take nuking New Avalon to drive Yvonne over the edge. In the last year, she has witnessed the death of a close ally, the stabbing of her brother, the coma of another brother, and the death of a potential fiancee. Plus that whole problem in the Periphery. One more thing may just drive her over the edge.

So unless the GMs have something shadey in mind for Foster, I believe we just need to get the Mandrill roll for damage they deal.

Damn.......I think that us "shadey GMs" will just make it so the TH gets Foster and gets all the Salvage. We are also going to have 10000 FP of clan tech mechs magically appear there with uber elite -1/-1 pilots, and 200000 FP of uber elite Warships......


IS THAT SHADEY ENOUGH FOR YOU.....

[glare] Now cut that out! [/glare]

That's only happened....twice!

[Lord Harlock]

"First Princess, the plumber was at the castle.  We have to replace all the pipes and the sewage is backed up.  The entire castle smells like Mandrill weaponry."

"That's it! I'm a First Prince not a Princess!" Yvonne pulls out her epee along with a strange Prince's costume. "If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. We are the chick; the egg is the world. If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born. Break the world's shell! For the sake of revolutionizing the world!"

Two guards just watch the First Prince walking around muttering. One mutters to the other one. "Do you think this happened much with First Prince Melissa Davion?" The other guy shook his head. "No, she merely had nightly romantic interludes . . .with her guards."

"Nuts!"

*Note, I don't even like Utena, but the fencing thing just worked so well.

[Fatebringer]

IF you're going that route, who'se gonna be your Rose Bride?

[Lord Harlock]

Considering I consider Utena is a story that is at best about insanity. The Rose Bride is Quintus Allard just because it sound insane.
