XP/Learning Rolls and what-not from the last mission...

[maxvale76]

Okay; so I've gone back over the last mission and figured that all of you (except Honeysett and Dunn) qualify for a chance to improve ONE of the following skills of your choice:

Gun Combat (due to all the shooting and what-not...duh! )

Awareness (due to the constant staying on alert in a night-time, burnt out city operation)

and for some of you:

Special Weapons (the Grenade Launcher)

Let me know which one you'd like me to make the roll for; I'll do so and let you know if you advance to the next skill level.

*NOTE FOR MORSE: Instead of making a roll to improve a Skill; you will have been put on a special, harsh regimen of Workouts, high-protein diets and quite possibly some HGH in the six weeks between the last mission and this current one...the net result is that your new Strength Stat is 10; basically, this is a one time thing as I can't really see a Character with as low a Strength of yours really being able to make it as even a Rifleman; let alone a Gunner carrying a heavier weapon...

[Quinn]

Put mine down for Awareness. One must see the enemy in order to shoot at them.

I always thought it was part of my charm. Of course I'm lugging around all manner of shit I'm barely qualified for, M41A-E2, and the K52 Medkit. Ironic since my main strength in is in infiltration. And I just don't remember how I wound up doing all those things.

[Quinn]

Easy. You tried to diversify, which really doesn't work to well, since it's really hard to be a medic AND a support gunner.

[maxvale76]

Okay; so far I've only heard from 2 of you as to what skills you'd like me to roll to see if you improved:

Quinn: sorry, you didn't make your Learning Roll to increase your Awareness to Expert Level

Obi: you DID pass your Learning Roll and your Awareness skill is now "PROFICENT"

Everybody Else: Please let me know if there's a Skill that you utilized last mission (Gun Combat, Awareness, Sepcial Weapons are the most likely canidates) that you'd like me to see if you increase in ability.

Also; due to a huge dearth in Motion Tracker and Welder Skills; the following people may choose to gain one or the other of these Skills at Novice Level for free:

Dirk Pitt
Sam Dunn
Billy Lonebear
Allan Morse
Alan Shepard
Casey Valentine

[Casey]

Seeing as you so kindly hooked me up with a Welder Max, I'll go for Welding for 100. .. As for the other skill, I'm gonna go with Awareness also.

So lets see if the jump to Awareness goes and the Novice welding.

[maxvale76]

Casey: Sorry; no dice on improving Awareness to Proficient; but you now have Welder at Novice....yay for you!

Yeah; I had to sort of throw out the welders and Motion Trackers to different people; or otherwise a handfull of people (Simovic, Obi, Quinn and Honeysett) would be carrying EVERYTHING! Of course, the fact that these 4 are among the longest serving vets of the site I'm sure has SOMETHING to do with it....

[Morse]

I'm feeling up for something useless. Give me novice with the motion tracker, a skill I will never use.

[maxvale76]

Rgr wilco......maybe next game I'll have the USCM invent the M41E3 Pulse Rifle with a built in motion tracker...just for you, amigo!

[Obi]

An M-41 with a heartbeat sensor/motion tracker. That so needs to be included in the next Call of Duty Modern Warfare game.

[Casey]

*Dreamy eyes.* I always wanted to take shop class. *Multiplex of eye lash flutters to complete the theatrics.*

[Darkblade Bug]

I just realized I forgot to give Dunny training in Dropship Operations!

O_O

[Dugan]

Dugan will try an improve Portable Welder skill as he somehow used one in the last mission and he doesn't have the skill.

[maxvale76]

DOH! Missed that one, sorry amigo!

Just made the roll and congrats Dugan, you know have Welder at Novice level!

[Darkblade Bug]

Righto! Motion Tracker trainin for me!
