I'm ready to start posting in the story thread again when other people start pulling their weight. And we need to decide what to do about the post vacanted by Pick. Make her an NPC, maybe?

I say NPC....if for no other reason that this allows me to be the default CVN CO as well :)

I'm in the same boat as A-A, just with wisdom teeth instead of school. I'll be MIA for awhile.

I've been editing the wiki here and there, but I'm mostly laying low and waiting for shit to happen.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Argh, sorry to make such a spartan story post, but the Quick Reply window ate my post when I was halfway through and I got discouraged.

Exams are OVER! Woo!

Hawkwings: I would advise you to read this thread and then the story thread here. Then, if you are still interested, PM one of the story team (Myself, Darth Raptor, Surlethe, Noble Ire) and discuss what you would like to be.

No problem, I just got lazy and skipped looking up the map. I honestly prefer the errors get corrected before they enter into any sort of continuity. So, keep up the good work, and I have no objections to you being a storyman. :P

My lack of activity has pretty much been due to the fact that I'm sitting there in the middle of the Pacific while everyone's partying over in Virginia. If it keeps up much longer, the mountain may need to go to Muhammad.

:shock: read all of this thread?

*sigh* getting to work...

In the mean time, what sort of a bad guy are you looking for?

EDIT: ok, finished reading. I really have no idea of what sort of "bad guy" you're looking for, and plus, I think you'd want someone experienced in SDNet TGODs to run opposition.

I do have roleplaying experience, similar to this even, but I don't know how things are run here.

Oh, and the "current world map" on the wiki is down.

PMed you with a tentative suggestion.

ok, it works for me now.

Here's my question: what's the point of a modern carrier group if there's nothing on the high seas to fight?

but, but, but... the fishing boats...

yeah.

Don't worry. The fishing boats are just to work out the kinks in our battle system. :P

Hey...did we decide that the BCGN was acting as ESG flagship? IRL it's normally the "Big deck".(LHD)

Yeah, NI asked for it to be his flagship, and I was fine with it.

Well you now have a bad guy... Well, sort of bad. Certainly the Pentagon/CIA/NSA/White House wants his head on a fucking platter...

I won't have reliable computer access until Thursday or so, so don't count on much expansion from me this week. Just a head's up.

I've been kinda busy lately, and that's only going to get worse as school starts back up. But right now, I've got a mission lined up that's awaiting approval by the other members. I'll jumpstart the narrative tomorrow if I get a chance.

Still waiting for someone to reply and allow the story to continue. As fun as it might be to write other people's characters for them, they aren't my characters.
