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.....


-"Shadey" Rules Hauptmann Josh

Nah you forgot the warships.

[Jeyar]

I sent it by email, but I thought it was important to post here so that it was known to look at the email. I have a fairly major question on one part of the orders I have for the CoPS. Like a fairly big in terms of forces question.

Yep, pretty big.

[Fatebringer]

+1 To NVA for making the mistakes on the orders that made the DCMS leave Leskovic, and then blame the DCMS for it after you stopped doing the orders NICE recovery! Very Raven

Now you see what it was like for us when the "Truth" behind Dehra Dun came out DENY! DENY! DENY!

[NVA]

HunterADA did the mistake on orders.  I was just given command of a magical fleet that never seemed to actually be under my command.  LOL

[Fatebringer]

Hey, when you submit it, it's you're mistake

I've made mistakes the had to send my "I'm sorry PM's to the GM's with updates. Speaking sorries, sorry I used names here I just loved what we could infer from those statements

OOC Question...Didn't Sir Paul Masters do something in the FGC to bring shame to himself?  I don't recall which battle that it occured, but, some atrocity was blamed on him.

OOC Question...Didn't Sir Paul Masters do something in the FGC to bring shame to himself?  I don't recall which battle that it occured, but, some atrocity was blamed on him.

During the war between the Core Alliance and the FWL, the 1st KOTIS (not/not under Masters' command) was defending against overwhelming TH odds in a city in Romita. There are two versions of what happened:

TH story: the Knights of the Inner Sphere used the city for cover without evacuating civilians to try and "force" the CA into killing civilians. FWL forces subsequently indiscriminately used artillery during the battle. The entire maneuver was a cynical ploy to turn public opinion against the Core Alliance, and was an unforgiveable stain on the Knights of the Inner Sphere. On a related note, around the same time the 2nd KOTIS (also not under Masters' direct command) made motions to suggest they would militarily support the FRR during the HPG crisis that lead up to Second Tukayyid. The 2nd KOTIS never actually got involved, but the TH points to this as yet another sign that the KOTIS can't be trusted.

FWL story: the Knights of the Inner Sphere were forced to take cover in the city because Alliance warships in orbit were maneuvering into orbital attack positions (its worth noting that the WOB side of the Alliance had repeatedly and vocally advocated orbital strikes as part of their basic strategic plan, so FWL's claim isn't entirely tin-hat territory). Artillery was only called on because of the overwhelming Core Alliance numbers, and every effort was made to evacuate civilians to shelters before the Alliance actually reached the city limits. Immediately after the fight there were claims in the FWL media (ComStar and WOB refused to transmit these reports, so they got very little play beyond the FWL) that the Alliance used tactical nuclear weapons in the fight. It is generally accepted now, however, that the explosions were actually a (bizarrely high) number of 'Mech reactors breaching during the fighting.

So... Masters was not involved in the events on Romita and Tukayyid, but he is probably very unpopular in the TH due to his association with the KOTIS. Hardcore whitehats might have similar opinions, but that is an RP decision.

[Lord Harlock]

You know I couldn't recall which KOTIS unit was involved in the fun little battle in the FWL/ Core Alliance War Mark II, but I did recall that Masters was out of sync at the time. And honestly, the only thing that I can that I figure is that he was Thomas Marik during his tenure as last First Lord of the Second Star League.

[Iron Mongoose]

I think that is how we played it.  I thought about leaning on him a few times, but honestly none of the FWL players were really Paul Masters fans, and with Thomas out of the loop most of the time and the FWL having little to do with the SLDF, with which Paul was closely linked in canon, there was very little for him to do.  I think he took part in the campaign against the Falcons in secondary roles (we had one offensive, but we ran into heavy air cover and turned back, drawing a lot of heat since we didn't contribute anywarships. we countered that we contributed 15 out of 60 regements, and we needed the two Thera groups we started the game with at home, but that may be yet another mark against Sir Paul).  But Colonal DeSuzza was our point man for the SLDF most of the time, so Paul's role in that is not clear.  After Thomas' election, he was almost certanly an advisor for the mostly inactive First Lord (again, perhaps another black mark here).

Oh.  My.  God.

This month has been absolutely atrocious in terms of getting anything non-work done.  If I get any farther behind here, I'm gonna get lapped.

Trying desperately to get caught up, which is going to be complicated by a car show (I'm taking "Bumblebee", my '66 Bug, to Bug-In 35) out of town this weekend, but I'll see what I can do over the next four days (I took tomorrow and Monday off, to both get ready, and recover, from the show).

It's all good... you weren't the only one who got a bit behind on the gaming stuff (::tries to look innocent:. Glad to know you're still with us

[Marlin]

All thats left now is the Adder invasion threads, I think. And some behind the scenes stuff, I guess.

Ladies, prepare for a new round of nightmarish action.

[Marlin]

And can anybody tell me what happened to the RS at Pasig? It went offline from 34th to 35th turn, I suppose, but why? Could not make out much else. I kind of doubt there was a disrupt SpecOP against such a minor target.

Can anybody share?

And I think Cannonshop has wanted to become part of this forum, he waited for an access Mail? Is it a problem or is it more a technical error?

Fire Mandrills attacked it with a WarShip... IIRC it was supposed to be offline for 4 turns, so it should be back online next turn.

[Marlin]

Ah. Thats cool then.
