OOC: I remember Apone getting taken first, he was cool. The tough, cigar smoking sergeant - I also recall that whoever is forced to carry everyone else's ammo after Apone confiscates is the one who gets flamed and falls down the stairwell, leaving the team with limited ammunition. The black guy...

OOC: Sorry to get your hopes up about a IC post, but I have to go out now. Welsh, I can tell you for certain that those names come from Aliens (the second film). They are the names of 3 of the Marines. Apone is the Black sergeant, Frost is the big blond guy who uses one of the heavy machine...

Thanks for the help with the situation. I will think about the Tabis situation and prepare a post that will probably be done tomorrow. The fort situation can carry on at its own pace and is unlikely to be greatly effected by what happens in Tabis, unless Gabriel can coerce the chief into...

I agree completely. Don't worry, you didn't come off as judgmental. I remarked, just the other day, that participating in this online role-play was excellent practice as a writer and that I hoped it would stimulate my creativity and, as you said, prompt evolution in my writing. I agree...

Oh Welsh, how observant you are. I did indeed mention the virtues of the 'ends justify the means' mentality. One I think I share. I do not think it is perfect but today's world is a bad place. No where near as bad as our little Fallout world but real life is pretty rough. I don't experience that...

Sounds good to me. Problems with the disease (possibly), but I like the idea of the quest through the wastes, it keeps to the Fallout legacy.

Yeah, Frank was a good guy in your post. I thought we were talking about someone else, hence I made up a different name in my post which mentioned the corrupt Police Chief. I thought Frank was just the Captain (a more hands on version, while the corrupt Police Chief was a different bloke - a...

OOC: I agree. The slow revealing of details will help keep the suspense going. The story won't be one fight scene after another as we try to get to the main baddy who we have known about for ages.

You know it is funny how one of the most important thing about Gabriel, or at leat how other people see him is his youth. I just thought about this and it surprised me because in my reasonably limited experience of Role-playing (I have created two or three characters for some other games) I...

I don't mind people just trying to survive as long as they have some sympathetic characteristics. I liked Gangs of New York but you are right, I could see Americans not liking it because it was almost a twisted vision of the American dream - every man for himself, screw anyone who tries to...

I suggested an invasion force. It would have to be the chinese because they were the ones involved in the oil dispute but Russina could get involved also (if they were allied with one side or another.) About the creatures, they should all be there (no talking deathclaws - just the feral...

The two figures moved swiftly through the dank sewers. Following the sure-footed ghoul, Gabriel danced around the piles of muck and dodged foul rodents, which Skik kicked aside without thinking. The assassin barely managed to keep pace with the bulldozing ghoul, who just powered his way through...

Well said! :D Although black is not technically a colour. It is the lack of colour, as is white. That aside (silly scientist jargon if you ask me), Black is indeed the coolest colour. Some people say it is cliche but that is just because they are pretentious. No one can accurately...

Yeah, I've been hearing that a lot lately. Me, though. I liked the game for what it was, regardless of the Fallout inaccuracies (I liked the post-nuclear fallouty setting even if it wasn't accurate enough to please die hard fans - and I loved FAllout 1 and 2) I see what you mean about that it...

Whoa, what the fuck?! :!: :?

I liked playing the Single player mode. I enjoyed trying to complete the missions, gaining in rank and karmic titles etc. Even in single-player there were only a few weapons that were really worthwhile (AK 47, hunting rifle, Garand -not great because you only get it once you start going up...

You mean more made up weapons? Weapons that don't really exist (like the 14mm SiG Sauer - specific to the Fallout universe) or 'special' limited edition 'out of the ordinary' weapons?

Indeed. Yellow isn't my favourite colour but it was still a cool vehicle.

Would have been like the gate bus in Mad Max 2 (the one that the nice use to block the entrance to their settlement. Armoured bus would have made a cool Fallout style troop carrier (less technological than an APC - just normal old stuff, rigged up to serve its new purpose in the wastes)

Hang on a sec. If you save the survivng squad and find the dead one, do you win? Last time, I did that and then the mission wasn't over - I had to check on Brimstone squad but my guy trod on a mine trying to get into the base (i though the general was in there - like I said, I haven't played the...
