Getting ready. I kind of have something funny planned when it comes to Plink fighting the Cluster.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a ruling here. Is this thing actually a part of the TRT timeline? 'Cause I'm not a big fan of how it's screwing over my character's entire arc from the past four years of RPing.

No idea! I'll be gone for most of the day today. Going to the wonderful world of Wizzly (Disneyland...if you see what I did there ) today. EDIT: well i thought we were.

Yup! It's actually a part of TRT Timeline. The words Koith replied to Gene, is: "...I'd tasted death for more than 60 years...", right? It's means that he served in the battlefield for those years, barely suffered from Death or not-yet-death (maybe you understood that meaning). But, in 2012, at the TRT Timeline, Koith was officially dead (or he deactivated) in Vietnam, and by many reasons, he'd been revived.
Well, the story of Steel Brothers is now getting more heat, as it might easily burn Gene to ashes. I think it would be better if he stay low during the battle and after that, he'll put a main role as the spokesperson for Vexus at the new armistice.

In my next post, Jakob and his dudes are going to capture the President. Is it all right if I take control of Prezzy for said post?
Also, I think we really need to re-evaluate and confirm who exactly controls which Canon Character- for Steel Brothers and everything else.

Yup, he's all yours. But the plan for the fight back is not belong to him, the men in the Defense do.
I'll make some changes: -Jenny and Nora: Bullet (changed from Rosie as she's not online much) -Sheldon, Vega: Omnios, you take charge of them -Vexus: I'll take her at this time.

Also, I think we really need to re-evaluate and confirm who exactly controls which Canon Character- for Steel Brothers and everything else. Yes, yes we do. We've sort of had an unspoken rule about who controls who for years, but since that was violated by this RP we probably need to set up some sort of official ruling. Incidentally, my current opinion is that we should leave most of the mains(Jenny,Brad,Sheldon,etc.) in control of whoever runs an RP unless they want to cede control of them to someone else, and we should give full control of other characters to whoever has written them most, since many characters/groups are important to individual members' storylines(see:Vexus to Hunter's OC, Vega to Omnios', and The Moggs to me). There's actually a lot of things related to the relationship between OCs and Canon characters that I think we need to re-evaluate, and I'll be honest, I've mostly avoided it to avoid creating a sticky battle between people's freedom to be creative and our need to create a consistent continuity for our universe. Still, we obviously need to set up some new rules for our RP system, so I'll mull it over and probably start a thread where we can discuss our ideas a little bit later. Also...I'll be honest, I actually think it's worth debating whether we want to keep this particular RP in continuity. I'm all for changing status quo, but this has thrown off a whole lot of the material we've established in TRT continuity, and it is sort of unfair that Hunter has to give up 4 years of hard work just because of 1 story that, quite frankly, doesn't really fit very well with a lot of what we've done in the past. I'll gladly listen to cases either way, but as far as I'm concerned its place in continuity is up in the air.

I felt it went a little too long in my opinion. The event happened along with the aftermath. The characters are demanding answers but it is likely they won’t get the answer. As for continuity this RP should not do a retcon I will be accepting as alternate universe. I have problems with how the MLAATR characters are portrayed but let it go since I did not pay attention continuity of the roleplay.

Actually, I've been thinking about it, and I think I can make this story work, for Gene at least. One of his defining traits is the Sisyphean frustration of his efforts to resolve crises without violence. Having his biggest only win as a negotiator taken away from him would be the natural progression of that. And it's not like it can make him any more cynical. Remember: it was Vexus's hope for humanity, not his, that sent him back to Earth in the New World RP. As far as he's concerned, humans are a lost cause.

Honestly, if you're okay with it than that's fine, I just didn't want you to feel like you were being forced to swallow something that wrecked all of your work without having your say.

The Clusters will bring any means of warfare against the US. Troopers, walkers, tanks, air troopers, aircrafts,...Which mean the battle will be really "bloody" and epic at both side.
Koith's weakly objection with Op Hornet is one of the main causes of this war, and yet he will be responsible for his weak, foolish obedience. As you said, Hunter, I'm trying to make Vexus' more calm with the situation, trying to convince into her cause and reaching a new agreement. Don't want to insult, but I terribly hated Global Strategy.

Okay, so yeah, I'm finally back and settled down. The orchestra trip went quite well, just in case anyone was interested.
Anyway, I come to the understanding that there was a bit of a discrepency over canon character control while I was away (I have to be honest I did have time for lurking). I don't know if I started it with the use of Jenny. As I stated many times within the RP I would be more than happy to abdicate control to anyone depending on what is best. Plink and I just didn't have much to do at the time, and I figured Jenny would have to enter the picture eventually, so I decided I'd get that going. I really have no plans nor an interest in continuing to control her, so whom ever has the authority and/or responibility to do so can.
Also, there was something else I was going to say, but I seem to have forgotten it in the last five minutes... so can't do that. I'll add it again if I remember. I guess really all I was going to say is just how intense this has become, the world is truly falling apart at the seams, or more literally, borders.
Time to end Bullet's short hiatus.

Orchestra eh?
I've got Plink flying around right now (yes he's a bit away from Bullet right now. He's flying back though). Mainly, I'm trying to figure out what to do with him right now as well. whether to fight or not (since, the way I see it, nobody has really fired a shot yet).
