Your arguments are compelling to me. I shall atone for my acts of GMic perfidy by presenting you with more Stukas to capture.

I should have at least captured Albatros, a Stuka, and a Leviathan.

Does it count that I helped capture a Aufseher in the SECOND combat? ;-D

Dark Silver, there's a reason I used the word "kill" when talking about taking down the Nemesis.

You know...considering I wasn't complaining about "not being able to capture" the Nemesis, but merely pointing out that my end game still involved KILLING the thing...

You all read a lot of something into nothing. I wasn't complaining about the GM being evil and Unfair (really, how could someone who plays such a cute and lovable Autobot like Hornet be evil? He just can't.), merely pointing out that OOC, I know the Nemesis won't let itself be captured - they are evil big bastards who don't give two shits really about anything but power and the boarding crew IF they get on, will have to put a bullet in the bastards head - thus STILL getting a kill (if they survive).

If not, I'll have to find some other way to kill the bastard.


*I*, DS, know that about the Nemesis. That doesn't mean Roberts and Thundercracker knows those things. And thus, I played it as Roberts dictated it to me.

in hindsight, it might be confusion when I said capping, then capturing.

I meant "capping" in the "putting a bullet in it's head" sense, and not the capturing sense.

...FINE

"capping" as in killing the thing dead in any damn way I can figure out to do so.

Yes, get close to the dragon that spits deadly venom instead of cooking it from range. Brilliant.

It is an extremely poor idea to use the OOC thread as a means of asserting your superiority of decision-making relative to the rest of the thread. One might construe such actions as tempting fate.

Oh I am just giving him shit. :P

Besides, I happen to enjoy stone throwing. I find it theraputic.

Is it still therapeutic when you shatter the ceiling and are impaled with shards of glass?

I am a masochist (afterall, I willingly associate with all you people, and enjoy it.) and a self-loathing misanthrope. So Yes.

I must admit I'm a bit stumped as to the current situation. Alacritas has no wingblades, and is just as tired as the italian dragons who've been chasing his ass across the sea. Marcus has one full magazine stowed (which I think I've been incorrectly calling a clip in previous posts) maybe half to a third of a mag left in his weapon. Oh and his combat knife. I've got one idea made of 100% pure insanity, but if you guys had recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Kunja once went into the sky against an entire German squadron with nothing but a harness, his captain, and a fully loaded paintball gun.

He got one capture from that encounter.

Go for it!

Franklin is headed along the path that will lead him to support Kunja, just FYI. When he gets there, he's going to pounce.
