Mass Effect: Going Dark (RPG)

[rhoenix]

I will be posting tonight. I had a post basically written when the rules shift changed and it stopped making sense. I am throwing something together now.

No worries man. I don't mind at all giving you extra time, since I threw you a curveball as GM - it's only fair.

That said, I have predictions as to what you might choose as your extra skill.

[rhoenix]

Excellent - that's everyone who's posted now, and Marcao's character sheet has been updated, so we're all caught up and on the same page.

I shall have a GM post up tonight, and then the shenanigans begin for a new round.

[rhoenix]

Alright - courtesy of Iona, Team Five has two extra minutes to either set up a defense, or go on the offense.

[Sabre72]

And I have posted :D

I try and use some new words too, and add more of a feel to it, oh and some fluff too this time.

This post I just made I would consider a different take, been reading all the other players post(erm duh)and been getting some idea's on style no stealing though!.

For Sabre and Haven, combat is continuing for the moment. For the rest of you, only JD has posted since this first battle ended.

The first battle hasn't ended, it's barely started. We just handed the enemy vanguard its ass, nothing more.

Very true - all in all, Team Five has taken just a step or two into the pool. You haven't seen the deep end yet.

[White Haven]

Mechcommander intro.

'Got it's attention, sir!'

[rhoenix]

Ok, Sabre and Haven are continuing their battles.

Of the rest, JD, CynCat, Nitram, and Soleimon have posted.

Also, Nitram - Many-As-One is rather too far away to hit any of the group Iona is occupying at the moment without a sniper rifle. However, all of them are now facing away from the rest of Team Five.

Well I had a little crisis, Sol's next position is pretty far ahead of the others, in fact it actually takes him a long sprint to get there. So instead of making this post "move, action, move" I made it into a full "Move, Move, God your moving far!". It seemed fairer to me at the moment, plus people can all do their, "Ugh, what an amatuer/kid/Rambo."

And on the matter of the fight having more surprises, luckily I saved some from my own character as well. He IS a Vanguard, but he hasn't used biotics yet once besides that little mess up at the cafeteria. :

Well, as I read it, Sol went Charge, move (as action), Charge - which is fine, and would get the distance you're looking for.

On the other hand, it does separate you from the others.

Wait so i can give up a action for a 3rd move ??

Charge charge charge to Iona ???

[Soleimon Berserker]

Exactly my thought, separating myself is a big deal, thus I went for the safe side of non-God mode and decided to make the Vault my action. So it's more of a, "Move, Vault, Sprint" Cause technically I suppose vaulting over that destroyed Mako counted as an action.

I think he means you have to be trying to get to a far area, and Charge still needs power up time in the game. So in essence it would still be "Charge, Move, Charge" Saber, doing three continuous Charges would be kinda cheap don't ya think?

EDIT: Besides, wouldn't Charging make you REAAAALLY noticeable with all the explosive ending bursts of biotic force? Cause all that inertia goes into that final blast when you stop, your kinda giving away your position, and if you showed up by Iona you'd be giving away hers as well.

well i think giving up a action would balanced that its not like am charging 3 different people.

But doing Charge Charge move ...probably makes more sense or any other combo

replacing the action for another *normal move* instead of the biotic charge move makes more balance sense

EDIT: Besides, wouldn't Charging make you REAAAALLY noticeable with all the explosive ending bursts of biotic force? Cause all that inertia goes into that final blast when you stop, your kinda giving away your position, and if you showed up by Iona you'd be giving away hers as well.

EDIT
I think Iona is lit up like a Christmas tree right now .....and the idea is to get attention away from her or at lest focusing on someone that isn't hurting

but right now i just need to figure out what Junko needs to do ..she in trouble herself ..and she needs to get away ...

[rhoenix]

Charge charge charge to Iona ???

Yes, Junko can do that, without the third charge. However, she's still too far away to make it there in one turn.

Yes - use of Charge is certainly not subtle, and especially so for Vanguards.

[rhoenix]

JD, CynCat, Nitram, Soleimon, Fisher, and Frigid have posted of the main group. All of you are still in the round after combat ended, which means not much time has passed.

Sabre and Haven have updated their actions. Since the rest of Team Five is engaging, I'll wait for Marcao and Havoc to post.

EDIT: updated x5

[rhoenix]

CynCat, I'll use your post as your action for the next round.

For the moment, just waiting on Havoc and Marcao before making the GM Post Of Imminent Peril post.

*Facepalm* Why do I have a feeling i'm going to regret letting my character possibly get caught bin a dead sprint to cover?

[White Haven]

Thanks for taking some heat off me, buddy. Much obliged.

[General Havoc]

*Facepalm* Why do I have a feeling i'm going to regret letting my character possibly get caught bin a dead sprint to cover?

Never fear, the Geth are here.

...

Okay, maybe a little fear.

[Soleimon Berserker]

I suppose that's one way to survive a seemingly suicidal dash for cover.

I'm actually surprised that I've held off really using biotics for this long, or CQC for that matter...that must change before the mission ends. ('.')b

[General Havoc]

Are you trying to give my character a heart attack? Somehow?

[Sabre72]

Are you trying to give my character a heart attack? Somehow?

you mean a lot of zero's and one's?


since sol is close combat.....yeah havoc your character is going to FREAK!

[rhoenix]

The next round has now begun. And yes, ALL of the varren have now run off.
