OOC: Battle com

[time_dancer]

There seemed to be some confusion (sorry guys!) so I'm hoping this is clearer.

This thread is for the in character fighting: the battle thread here.

This thread is for in character planning of the attack..

And this post is for out of character chatter or planning during the attack.

Regarding tagging order

[time_dancer]

So the basic break down is Right Flank is the day team and the left flank is the night team. Aside from that, feel free to thread hop!

What I imagine this will be like is that everyone can tag into the first thread as they charge in to the rescue, after we'll splint in the loose teams based on time zones, i.e. right flank, left flank. Within those threads, both teams can go nuts. I'll try to throw curve balls once in a while but feel free to have the BEM jump out at you or your team mates as you'd like.

Now the fun part, which I am taking inspiration from the bar fight thread, is that I want you guys to feel free to tag anywhere else, in other words feel free to thread hop. For example, Jen is busy pulverizing a particularly big bug but misses the little one with the big gun that's sneaking up on her back. Janet jumps in and blasts it. Or Raylan is having a merry time blasting away but misses the giant bug about to bite his head off, Jen jumps in and lifts him to safety.

It is my hope that by allowing thread hopping if someone you are involved with is being slow to tag back, you can still play in another thread while you wait. It is also my hope this will capture the feel of the massive melee this whole thing is. The thread hopping can jump between both threads as well, after all everyone has a ranged attack with this.

Not sure if anyone is watching this but tomorrow night 7-ish Pacific Standard Time I will set up a AIM group for chatting and threading. I'll invite anyone I see online.

Question: how long do Val's force fields last? How long was the one she opened up for Team Stealth?

[time_dancer]

I've been thinking they require direct concentration so I would say it's no longer there. However, with the F4 symbol blazing the bugz are distracted so the corridor has begun to refill.

Also, Val is about to make a giant vaguely Ben Grimm shaped force field to distract the bugz even more in the hopes she can get more eyes turned away from the stealth team. She'll enchant it like the symbol so it will be visible.

Err...the corridor hasn't begun to fill.
