His Majesty's Dragons: World at War

[General Havoc]

Man you totally cheated me out of those Stuka captures. That Frostfell had no crew, had already tangled with a Jotunmeister and a Wendigo, and was outnumbered five to one by the Stukas shouldn't mean I should totally own all those medium weight special weapons dragons and take them prisoner.

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

There, fixed that for you.

[Charon]

You know, the polite thing would be to save your complaints about how the evil GM has screwed you out of your proper victories via plot railroad until at least after the battle has actually ended.

Show of hands, veterans of the first game? How many of you were able to capture enemy special weapons dragons in the first two combat posts of the last game?

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

I am now afraid to go look in the thread. I was only gone two nights, guys!

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

Charon rolled 1d100 and got a total of 31:

Havoc, my boys had already moved out. I'm actually waiting for when I'm in range to act.

[Cynical Cat]

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

[Dark Silver]

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.

[Dark Silver]

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.

Whew! Damn DS, you had me worried there for a minute.

[General Havoc]

You... are aware that dragons are bulletproof, right?

[Dark Silver]

...FINE

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

...what I wouldn't give for a pair of ramming horns right now...

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

Things I wanted to do with my post:

Shoryuken.

[Comrade Tortoise]

Charon... I want you to do something for me. I want you to count the boarding ramps onto the fail-train that are in your post.

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.

[dragnl0rd]

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.

[Dark Silver]

....obviously you're new around here.

Insanity is our usual M.O. around these parts.

[Charon]

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!

[JimmyTheCannon]

Mm. Insanity.

[rhoenix]

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