Trying... so hard to... resist... nerd quotes!

Shadows, I fleshed out my squad more fully, if you want to take a look at it. I changed the name of one of my characters as well.

there shall be no mount doom references...

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!"

heh... broke my own rule...

Shadows, two things...

1. What happens when a squad dies? is that player just finished?

2. Is there any way to move the game thread to somewhere more visible? I don't think that people realize that we've started yet... Additionally, making it more visible might spark peoples interest in the roleplay sub-forum, maybe boosting it a bit... just a suggestion.

**Edit**

Cavash - You could change your location from raiding on Piscina IV to assaulting Ophelia VII... XD

I thought it was in quite a visible location, as every time it will be posted in, the RP section's little rune will light up white, bringing people to it.

How would you suggest on makingit more visible, out of curiosity?

I will PM every player to remind them that we have started and they should make their first post.

As for ways to make it more noticeable, there isnt really anything we can do. Everytime someone posts in this thread or the next, the forum lights up. Also it shows up in the "View Posts Since Last Visit", which is actually the only way I check the forum now unless I am looking for an older thread. Although I frequent many forums and am use to buttons like that, and others may not be.

Shadows, I am really sorry to dissapoint you, but I may not be able to take part this month as I am trvelling up to Scotland tomorow and I just discovered that it is very unlikely for me to have any internet access. This has dissapointed me as I was really loking forward to taking part. If I am able to make a first post then assume that I will be able to be a fully functioning member of the RP, but if not then maybe I'm not too healthy from eating all of the deep fried pizza
Once I return, if things are still running, hopefully you will be able to write me in, but if not then I understand, and there will hopefuly be other RP's of yours that I can join.

My sincerest of apologies, Cavash.

still waiting on a few more posts... if they arent done by thursday we will just move on without them, and they can jump in when they get back

Just to let you know that I can take part, so ignore my last post!

two bad, two less bad so that works out i guess, too bad more people didn't continue their interest, was particularly looking forward to valks post.

Also, i was thinking that you could post it to the top of all the forums, like you do with some other post, so it would gain more visiblilty and potentially attract more people to the RP forum.

I will have my post up within the next hour hopefully, and I am sorry about the delay, its just been a very bad few weeks for me...

looks like its going to be 4 on 2? XD

ye olde lemun russ would be rather handy right about now...

In re-reading my post, I noticed that I switched between past and present tense regularly. It looks like most everyone else used past tense to describe situations, people, and other things entirely in control, then ended with a present tense narration of what their squad is doing. I think I will adopt that style in the future.

Squad Fatima (Seraphim)[/b]

Squad: 10 Seraphim , 2 with hand flamers, Sister Superior

Originally from the Order of the Blessed Damsel, Squad Fatima was sent to Ophelia VII, firstly, to represent their order at a delegation of the Adepta Sororitas, and secondly to reinforce existing relations with the Orders Majoris and to learn what they could from their fellow Sororitas. The Order of the Blessed Damsel have an emphasis on the chivalric traditions of their monastery-world and on protecting the faithful of the Imperium. So it was that when Ophelia VII came under attack, the Seraphim took to the air, flying fearlessly to the defence of the Emperor's flock.

Sister Superior Nevel Fatima

A veteran of the Adepta Sororitas, Sister Fatima has a quiet, logical attitude which belies the daring and adventurous duties that entails membership in the Seraphim. Known for her level head and her ability to plot last-minute battle tactics on the move, Sister Fatima is an able leader who performs her duty unflinchingly and without a hint of fear. Her Sisters follow her orders with a well-drilled and disciplined precision that marks them as the elite of the Sisterhood.

I feel less safe now than before... XD

The Emperor protects!

Not the Tau... XP

Even Nurgle doesn't waste his time on sending plagues to the Tau.

thats true... :'(

I feel so unloved... XD

@Shadows - I don't think that we're going to get anyone else... the only one who hasn't posted is Torpedo.

sorry about the lack of supplies. been away with little to no internet access. cool to see some tau getting some love at last. :-)

I wanted to do something different, and knew that no one was likely to go for Tau.

yah, Ive had a busy weekend and work is a mess. Ill get to the update today when I get some free time

sorry for the long wait, but the update is up. Next update will either be thursday or Monday (as I have a convention next weekend) also would like to welcome Scryex, who has ask to join us.

Well, enjoy people!!!

A few questions

Do I have access to the Mantas weapon systems, since im still on the manta as it stands?

Since I was monitoring the party, do i know about the standoff?

Did our scans reveal any secret passages that I could utilize to get into the party?
