Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Ryudo Lee]

This is not a forested area, so there are only a few trees here and there, plus the hills aren't that large, and so you guys have a direct line of sight to the enemies, and vice versa.

LOS, yes. Range, no. Unless I'm missing something about the weaponry?

(If you'll excuse me putting my oar in...)

Correct.  I've already stated the distance they're at, which puts them out of range.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

They seem to have far better intelligence on us than we do on them....... Is it just me channeling Fetrethar's paranoia, or is this looking more and more like a suicide run?

[Ryudo Lee]

Hopefully the power is balanced enough so that it's a suicide run for THEM, not you.

Question, when Morgan was listening in on the Brotherhood signals, was he also doing an active sweep to see if any signals were coming from elsewhere?

Well he had to do active sweeps to locate their channels, so if there were any odd signals he might have seen them.  His optics allow him to see radio signals as single wavy lines in the air.  He marks friendly as blue and red as hostile... otherwise they are green.  This does mean in some fashion he can see where it comes from in a general fashion and where it goes to (or direction it heads to if point-to-point).

[Tapewolf]

Are we waiting on anyone in particular?

[Ryudo Lee]

Yeah, me.  I'm trying to work something out.

[Tapewolf]

Yeah, me.  I'm trying to work something out.

Okay, that's cool...

[Azlan]

Dragon Age is eating time... fox may be slow to respond.

[Ryudo Lee]

Work is eating into my time... just bear with me folks.

[Sprocketsdance]

Just take care of yourself first and foremost

[Ryudo Lee]

Sorry for the delay, I've been all kinds of sick as of late.  Just a cold, but a nasty one nonetheless.

There's been a lot of that going around.

[Ryudo Lee]

Waiting on everyone else to post something...

[techmaster-glitch]

Dang, that must be some impressive spread on that machine gun if Jexx is in danger with his 90-degree position to it (heh, just teasing)

[Sprocketsdance]

DX lol ohh so I read it a bit wrong.. for some reason I thought he went to the left, then started running towards (but to the side) of the vehicles >_< oh well. =P

and besides that (must.. resist, innuendo..)

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Fet can't see the Brotherhood guys yet, and nobody's in any imminent danger of breakthrough. He'd be in a nice position to smash the transmitter, but IC he doesn't know about it.

[Ryudo Lee]

Arc has dropped out for various reasons, so EXO has broken down.

[Ryudo Lee]

Sorry for the double post...

I edited this post http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,5794.msg304640.html#msg304640 in response to Morgan and Darkshine's shots.  So there are actually three vehicles stopped, not just one.  This means only the large vehicle is still moving.  Durr hurr hurr for me.

[Tapewolf]

So, where are we with this?

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

A lot of the Rps seem to have stalled recently, I'm blaming the cold weather.


That being said, I'm ready to post roughly once a day, if there's a call for that much writing.

[Ryudo Lee]

I think we're getting back into our grooves what with people coming back from the holiday chaos.

[Tapewolf]

For my part, I could do with knowing whether Dorcan can see any Brotherhood folks in his range.

[Ryudo Lee]

I thought Dorcan was still standing in the entrance to the ruins?

[Tapewolf]

I thought Dorcan was still standing in the entrance to the ruins?

Yes, with the intent of picking off anyone who gets too close.  Frankly I'm not expecting there to be anyone for him to take pot-shots at, but he's basically waiting for one of two possible things to happen - A Brotherhood person to slip through the cracks, or someone from the dig to yell at him because they've got the artifact and are ready to move out.

I could put together some kind of idling post if it helps, but that's what he's doing right now.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Does the brotherhood transmitter thing show any vulnerability to plasma rifle bursts?

[Azlan]

Short story: RAID array collapsed and PSU died over holidays.  Encrypted drive failed that included certain backed up files.  Repaired PC, recovered encrypted data, and upgraded to Win7 x64.

Too bad in some respects, as I was having fun using a server as a desktop.

I should be back in action, though work is pretty busy... what with a few server build outs and UPS replacements (old units aren't hot swappable ).

<shamelessplug> And, just in case here, you'd like to also update MGM, LitS, and SI with your status and let everyone know what's going on, you could save on posts use the new "General Discussion" thread that's just been started...</shamelessplug>

[Ryudo Lee]

I also suffered a major loss.  My laptop's hard drive completely corrupted and can't be recovered... like, at all.  I had all my notes and a bunch of other stuff on there.  In retrospect, I should have been making regular backups.  I only had copies of a few things, but all the rest I need to recreate.  In any case, my responses will be slow until I get my new laptop, which will be sometime in February.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Uhm, any report as to the vulnerability of the transmitter to plasma bursts?
