Re: A Clash of Interests [Warhammer 40,000]

Heyseuss, I am sure you already know this but the posting order is strictly for introduction posts only. After that, it's fair game as far as I am concerned. Also, Tempest is only trying to get people to continue the plot and weed out those that will slow the story down. I know that some people are extremely busy and that they do not have the time to sit down and write a three page role-playing post, but if they cannot find that time in two or three days then perhaps now is not the time for them to be participating in a role-playing game? I feel like there is alot of animosity between this group of players which only serves to bog down the progression of the game, which is the only thing I care about. You yourself said that we should let Tempest run things the way he wants to run them in order to get the story moving. Now if you truely do not wish to participate any longer I will understand and I wish you good luck on whatever other games you choose to join. I will be disappointed to not have had the chance to write alongside someone with your talent, but perhaps I will in the future if you do not reconsider your resignation.

Thats just my two cents.

You yourself said that we should let Tempest run things the way he wants to run them in order to get the story moving.

Sure did, and my implication was if one didn't like what was going on, they should bail now.

Which is what I am doing, for a variety of reasons up to and including that I am not comfortable with this and this is a hobby for me so I consider it a volunteer activity. I dis-volunteer. (I know that's not really a word.)

Anyway, adieu and good luck. I won't post here again, since I think I've at least explained myself. Anything more would distract you guys from your RP.

[Tempest]

Your choice.

Tykrieg?

[Tykrieg]

Should have a post up by the end of the day.

[Tempest]

Good to know I can still rely on some people.

[Ab'Sinthe]

I was wondering.. Is there still space for one more? =)

I could either work up an Eldar or a Space Marine (flunk Tau every time..), your pick really if you decide to allow me in. ^^

edit: just found the post in my introduction.. I'll write something up ASAP.

[Tempest]

Hey, clad you decided to drop by even before you saw that I invited you! Glad I can be sure of your interest now!

We already have a few Space Marines, so I would prefer an Eldar if you don't mind.

Tykrieg, how is that post coming?

[Tykrieg]

Is it alright if I request to go last? Suffering Writer's Block and frequent visits from my Mum's AA group, so it's pretty haphazard over here.

[Tempest]

Ah, alright, but don't drop out on me, yeah?

Hank, that means you're up!

[Ab'Sinthe]

Okies, sure thing ^^ I prefer being the odd xeno out anyways. =P

Abby's Character Sheet

Species: Eldar, Wraithguard

Name: Skraelich

Age: Deceased during the defence of Lyanden. Precise date unknown.

Gender: Formerly Male

Description: Skraelich was once a mighty warlock that fought in the defence of the craftworld Lyanden that only barely survived the attack of a Tyranid Hive Fleet Kraken after it had caused the demise of nearly four-fifth of the Craftworld's population. Skraelich was one of the fallen yet his soul and spirit were salvaged from his lifeless body so he could take place amongst the undying lieutenants of the craftworld. His superior intellect and fearless calm attitude often allows Skraelich to interact and cooperate well with other races. His value on the battlefield is certainly an addition to any warparty.

Appearance: Something along the lines off... This. Although Skraelich's Wraithcannon features a bayonet like Witchblade to accustom his limited psyker abilities.


Subdivision: Craftworld Lyaden

Rank: Lieutenant

Weapons/Equipment:
- Witch Blade; Shaped like a bayonet to accommodate for the loss of dexterity this spike attached to his Wraithcannon is Skraelich's only way to channel his psyker abilities since the loss of his living body.
- Wraithcannon; Short ranged but powerful. Standard issue for Wraithguard.
- Wraithbone Construct; Technically Skraelich is an undead construct consisting of wraithbone infused with a captured spirit. This has it's advantages.

Biography: Skraelich doesn't enjoy sharing the experiences of his former life. He has served his leaders well in his unlife which is what makes his deployment rather exceptional amongst the wraithguard.

If you don't like it I could write something else up. I figure the idea might be a bit inventive for conservative players. ^^

[Tempest]

Brilliant character sheet Ab'Sinthe!

Have you any ideas about how you would like your character to arrive on the planet? For some inspiration check out the big post I made on page two towards the bottom that details everyone's story.

[Ab'Sinthe]

I think what I'd enjoy the most is that he'd actually "revive" from a dormant slumber within the upper layers of soil upon the arrival of the others or possibly the arrival of another Eldar with some background as that he was defeated in combat on the same planet earlier. Do you think that could work? Otherwise, webway gates are the best option I think.

[Tempest]

Oooh...you know what, I like that.

The Eldar are ancient beyond belief, so they have pretty much visited more or less every planet at one time or the other. So perhaps they did battle here aeons ago and - No, wait, that wouldn't work because your character isn't that ancient.

Okay, how about we leave it up to mystery!

One minor adjustment though, can we find your character in some chamber in the ruins? And then you revive? I'll leave it open to you and let you know when I make the post? Good?

Hank, you there mate?

[Ab'Sinthe]

Sounds fine to me ^^

[Hank J Wimbleton]

Yeah, I'm here. Post should be up soon. Still writing the last bit on the Space Hulk appearance and subsequent (failed) boarding action.

EDIT: Posted!

[Tempest]

Great post Hank.

Tykrieg, ready to go now?

Ferrous, where the hell are you?

[Hank J Wimbleton]

I talked to him yesterday -- he says he doesn't know if he will post, 'cause to him this feels like 'homework' and it 'shouldn't'. =/

[Tykrieg]

Guys, I'm truly sorry, but real life issues have dragged me down. My mother, whom I despise, has decided she needs her son around more often, so I will be unable to access the PC as I go round my Mother's House for a few weeks. I am inexplicably sorry, but I think it's unfair I should hold you guys up.

Again, Tempest, sorry.

[Tempest]

It isn't really a problem man! Take all the time you need! I understand perfectly.

I don't know why this should feel like homework though...I mean, this posting order is only for the very first post you make. Can't people just accept that for the sake of having a good role play? I did say there would be no posting order afterwards and people would be free to post as they like.

[Mustakrakish]

Ok, so I am jsut wondering whats going on right nor since there have been no posts in a long time. I know school has started and everyone is busy but can we at least get the ball rolling a little bit. Are we waiting for Tykrieg because by the sound of it it seems like he will be on a short hiatus? I don't think he would mind if we continued on without him for a short time and filled him in once he handled his real life issues.

[Kalaam]

This still open? I was wondering if I could be an interrogator for an Inquistor. Delta level psyker if that is not too much. His specialties would be illusions, not too much raw power. My entrance would be something along the lines of a battle gone to hell, and I jump through a warp portal after there is no other option. Should be interesting interactions with both the Astartes, and the traitors to humanity. If it is not open, I understand.
