Haha reds is now dance commander.
Today i had a dream about the opening of skyrim but there was a little goblin i ended up joining forces with. We killed a couple mek boys i think and then stole their jetpacks and guns. We flew around and tried getting out of the town which had orcs or other goblins trying to attack us with airships similar to those found in the 'space marine' video game. We get out of town and land because we can't use the jetpacks any more. Some goblins try to confront us about the goblin i was with stealing from them and taking all the loot they stole when he was with them. I defended him and beat them up.
I then had a dream about some bully i know being really pissed and fighting with somebody who was coach. Coach was handling him fairly well.
I then have a dream about skaven and them stealing ships and taking port in their port city under tilea or something. They also were noticing people in modern day going on with their everyday lives while in skaven elevators and being entirely unnoticed. I also saw a dark elf from skyrim at least.
I have another dream about some violent african military faction fighting my more good guy based african faction and artillery like cannons and such were involved. It was odd because my side had some sentries from protoss in starcraft 2 helping to lessen the damage we took. An assassin also tried killing me but i killed him.
I think there was also a boat fight in one of the dreams before it went into the skaven taking the boat or something.
Then i had a dream about going to a different location for my same job and cleaning up water spilled in a bathroom somewhere. Then there were issues finding the next area i had to go for my job. I guess i'm freaking out about my job too much.
----------------------------
In real life i've been looking up ways to carpool and it seems much cheaper. Today all i have to do is get some sandwiches and some other food from the store and i should be ok. Hopefully it's still open right now. I've just been having a sleeping sickness or something. It's so very odd.

@ready & reds: I hate you guys. You're always rubbing it in my face that you have a dorky little RP that you won't invite me to. I'm not jealous. I'm going to make my own RP with hookers and black jack. In fact forget the black jack and the RP. Eh forget the whole thing.

Today, testing out a new character development method resulted in three pages of background information for one character concept. I think I can call this a success. Reds I would be very interested in seeing that, may I?

Have been playing a bit of Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai, I am finding the overall campaign difficult compared to Empire but starting off has always been the hardest part, once I solidify my economy, trade and borders I will hit the offensive. Though I should add the actual battles seem easier, ranged units are much more effective than in previous Total Wars and I find myself winning battles with merely entire armies of Levy Rifleman. The enemy AI has been improved but for some reason they prefer to primarily use melee units with light skirmisher and cavalry support. I still suck at naval battles however so I find myself spamming one ship then just auto resolving, so far it seems to work and the bombardment ability is a great addition. @jarms: Oh sure ignore me. I'm just the elephant in the room. Jerks . Wait what, I didn't see any comments related to me. If I missed a conversation you tried to start with me I am sorry.

@fkm: You're welcome to make your own group, always remember that.
@jarms: when I post it, sure. I'm not sure how helpful it will be for everyone, but it's designed to provide general personality and history waypoints, but still relies pretty heavily on the GM to fill in the blanks. It may not be much, but it's better than what I usually do, which is "See an image, write a backstory"

Thanks bro! Its a rough course with little sympathy for all who dare try it. It probably should be though.

Not sure if that means I've amused you or if I'll wake up strapped to a chair at some point whilst you palm a baseball bat and explain the finer virtues of your preferred war system ;D I don't know how to accurately respond to that comment. I will say you are awesome and a good addition to this board...oh and by the way Req wants your soul. Don't worry. I wasn't genuinely worried (since there is an ocean between us). I just found it funny that the laugh without sound or context could either have been you rofling it up, or psycho laughing. Also if Req is paying market value I might be up for a trade.

@jarms: Later on, they use modern units, and even cannons, and gatlings. Gatlings are the worst to face. You can't really attack them, just keep away. It gets a lot easier once you start taking provinces and getting upgrades and such. Once you pick a side, it is really easy, unless you go independent. Then there is a period of great difficulty followed by it getting easier again. Once they get tech up, naval battles can be difficult as well.

I don't find Gatlings difficult, their mediocre range always proves to be their downfall. Getting target priority from my own artillery batteries or taken down by throw away flanking cavalry units.

@fkm:
The thing about RPing is that it gets overwhelming for the GM when too many people join. If Reds is still the GM (He was when I played once), then he has to keep track of the personal interests of every player, the skill sets of every character, and tailor challenges that are both not too easy for the characters to overcome, but not too hard. There's also the factor that no one character should become the party "crutch", no player should feel like they're unnecessary, so each character should have some spot where they come in handy. Then there's all the scheduling for 5 people to keep one slot of time open long enough to have a meaningful session. If Reds says he can't take another player, he can't take another player. I'm dead certain he doesn't mean it personally...
Speaking of RPs.... ...Where the heck is Hetlan?

Oh, that's why. I deleted it, because I didn't know if it was really your name or not. it seemed right, but then I looked at your name.
Anyways, I find it is too easy to defend any town. All you need is a Gatling, and at least 4 units of Levy Infantry. I rarely attack, ad when i do it is just a bunch of arty pounding the fort until my men just storm its remains. And naval battle are fun. i love them. Torpedo boats ftw.
I mean, I have 0 allies now, since I went to form ym own Republic, but I still make a modest income (~2000gold per turn) and make a bunch from looting towns. I have like 17 provinces now, and they grow every day, even outnumbered.

For some reason I love it when people just call me Lord General gives me a feeling of imaginary power. ;D I mean, I have 0 allies now, since I went to form ym own Republic, but I still make a modest income (~2000gold per turn). Only 2000, I only have 3 provenances and I am making more than that. Well your military force might be exceptionally larger than mine as I am generally all my eggs in one basket having a single full stack with a constant influx of reinforcement. The army itself stems from my Empire games with largely Georgian warfare tactics so 5 sections of Cannon, the rest being line infantry supported by disposable cavalry troop. My navy is barely existent and only really there for off shore bombardment/protecting my shipping lanes or rapidly moving my troops across the map.

Hey that's fine i'm just bothered every time you guys make an RP and i ask to join i never get picked. It's been at least 3 or more times and i still have yet to join even when my schedule was absolutely free when i had no job. I have no idea where hetlan went. I'm guessing he's watching tentacle p*rn and playing visual novels though. Strangely enough i was looking at visual novel trailers on youtube just now. The girls are cute but i don't think i'd ever get one. I know he subscribed to a anime girl doll service on youtube. Yeah he's a creepy otaku. I'm a perv but he's also pretty bad. Hetlan hates me currently for good reasons i'm sure. Speaking of awkwardness for kicks i once played a maid rpg with him and he was the maid or RP'ing for it. Yeah after a while i was pretty disturbed by the whole thing. I'll never get that part of dignity back.

@fkm: I explained via PM the reason behind why you weren't part of the group for the last RP. I understand that you're frustrated about it, but that's just how it works. Complaining doesn't really make your case more endearing, especially when there are other options if you want to try out an RPG system.
Incidentally, Armstrong, do you want me to pin your mafia game IC thread, since it's an active RP? I know there's not a lot of traffic in that section of the forum, but I don't mind doing it anyway.

@reds: Well yeah i know i wasn't chosen. I'm just saying once in a while it'd be nice is all. I had a lot of free time and though i'd have to take time to learn the system you can bet once i got going things would've been much smoother. I was more bummed than anything. If it gets to 7 games without me i'll be fairly urineed though. I know it's your game and your choice but a game once in 6 months or a year even doesn't seem to be asking much. emptyhat: I think i'll join you guys in that game. Not sure it's something i'm interested in though. I was looking more forward to dark heresy or something. However beggars can't be choosers and maybe i don't know the full explanation of the game. I suppose i can give it a shot. Btw emptyhat go on messenger. I've got just a bit of time to talk before bed.
