Re: Turn 10: First Contact (Marines)

Dmitri took one deep breath and got moving, choosing a spot that would allow him a decent field of fire but also cover his squad. Here we go again Taking aim at the xenos approaching from above, Dmitri lay down a line of f...

I know some folks come and go....it seems to be an all too frequent occurrence on pbp games (I run a few myself on some other boards), ...

Re: Turn 9: Engineering (Marines)

Dmitri muttered but hustled it back the way he came, rifle up, and turned the corner left making sure he wasn't in Poole's way. It occurred to him--too late--that he still had Sam's pulse rifle. He'd keep it for now a...

Re: Turn 8: Joint Operation (Marines)

Tanya had a slight look of surprise when they mentioned they were going to the engineering bay as opposed to the living quarters, but she tried to hide her expression soon after so that Sykes might not catch on. She checked on her SHARP rifle and swapped out the clip with a full one just in case th...

Re: In universe questions

Writing from a female perspective is just a bit different…No true practical experience. Are you sure about that, Medic Guy? >:D As far as I remember, the rule was to keep it PG13. Anything more was supposed to be in PMs. Of course, that was the rule from 2007 but I think it still fits today. I’ve n...

Re: In universe questions

Was there a hornet's nest? If so, I think I missed it. No offense taken over here. I'm good! No apologies needed, Medic Guy.

Um ... you okay? You're not switching characters over this are you?

Re: In universe questions

I agree with Maxvale's post. Some details are just TMI. Basically, you have to ask yourself as a writer: is it really necessary to the story? But, I can hear the chorus piping up: we're players, we're not writers. Why bother asking that question? Putting aside completely the technical details of spe...

Re: Turn 7: The Prisoner (Marines)

Hall had replied to Morse's order with a quick, "Aye-aye", and nodded her head at Dmitri with a quick; "Nice shooting" and moved towards the black-armored Merc with her shotgun pointing at him/her the whole time. Before she got there, she saw Duncan move in and take him prisoner, so she just shrugg...

Re: Turn 5: Catwalks and Crawlspaces (Marines)

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48110429022_5b08cc3ccc_t.jpg Dmitri nodded his affirmative to Sam and , following her example, took the time to aim and shoot. If he could get his shot fired simultaneously with hers, Dmitri reckoned that their double salvo would be like God smiting the unrighteo...

Re: Turn 5: Catwalks and Crawlspaces (Marines)

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48110429022_5b08cc3ccc_t.jpg The access corridor was dark, dry, and a little tight. Huh. There's a dirty joke going to waste, right there . Dmitri noted it and put it out of mind. He followed Sam and maintained radio silence as ordered. Once they gained the venti...

Re: Turn 3: Hydroponics

Which, he reckoned, was safe, considering all the noise Morse and his squad made. He waited for Poole to ge...

Re: Turn 2: The Docking Bay

Samantha Hall made sure her Pulse Rifle and the shotgun on her back were good to go and she took a deep breath, closed her eyes and mentally prepared herself for what was about to go down. She had learned the hard way that combat was no time to have any part of your mind focused on anything other t...
