Bodyguard mission first, maybe we'll luck into a Merlin. Also, are we doing ops with a Marik Penal Battalion? They have 0 survival rate and get some crummy mechs.

Ninurta posted:Bodyguard mission first, maybe we'll luck into a Merlin. Fair as the top FWLM brass we answer to are concerned, we’re working with a scout lance alongside a medium lance of brawlers on the Bodyguard Phase Two mission. They don’t tell us who’s in what cockpit, where they came from, or their previous experience. And, quite frankly, they don’t see a reason to—we’re supposed to be the deniable assets in the field who do as they’re told and don’t ask questions like “Hey, so the guys we’re rescuing, were they deliberately set up to fail?” and “Just what were those guys supposed to be doing, anyway?” OOC, I’ve yet to decide how bad to set up the damage Watchdog Lance has suffered before the mission starts.

To be fair, a couple of our liaisons have managed to make it out alright. The Trebuchet for example. But generally the Marik forces are much more aggressive than you'd think but I guess if it's the state that pays for your Mech it's easy to get into that mindset. In any case let's once again have Alpha Lance once again run the Bodyguard Mission. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to see them again.

 I AM EXTENDING THE VOTE BY ANOTHER TWO HOURS!In my hurry to get the update up, I mistakenly put down 12 hours instead of 24. To compensate for this, I am going to extend the deadline for voting by two hours. VOTE IS CLOSED! It looks like Alpha Lance is being tasked with being Bodyguards again! EDIT: I'm doing test runs and getting screenshots now. I will post the update around Monday. HereticMIND fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Aug 22, 2020 |

Aw, missed the vote. Quick Mech of the Mission: Hermes II Enemy "Mech" of the Mission: Zephyr Hovertank #2 Debating whether to keep doing these, not sure they add all that much that isn't inherently obvious.

How do pilots work? When you have pilot listed as Firstname Lastname (5/5) Mechname vs Lastname Firstname (2/2) Mechname What's the difference?

ilmucche posted:How do pilots work? When you have pilot listed as The numbers are used as a base target number before any modifiers are applied. BattleTech uses a 2d6 based rolling mechanic to determine success or failure. The higher the base target number, the worse that pilot is at things. Lower numbers are much, much better in regards to said base target numbers. It’s usually read as Gunnery/Piloting, with 4/5 being considered the “standard” array.

So, I’ve been on a bit of an unexpected hiatus. Sorry! Things just came up at me so quickly that I needed to sideline this for a bit. That and I had a bit of a mental breakdown trying to solve multiple problems at once in as short of a timespan as possible (don’t worry, I’m ok now). Other things still need my attention, unfortunately, but as soon as they’re finished, I’ll get back to this.

 MAJOR UPDATESo. It's been a while. It's been a LONG while. Sorry for being dark this past month. I honestly did intend to come back swinging, but I just...never found the gumption. Figures, really. When I made my promise, I really did want to continue this. It was fun. It was unique. Hell, I had the screenshots ready to go when I stepped back and decided to take a break. Even had an ok storyline going. But then, for some reason, I just...lost the spark, for lack of a better phrase. I don't know how else to put it. I'm sorry if that's a lovely explanation, I really am, but that's how it is. Lots of things hit me at once and I just...could not find it within myself to even force myself to update. I am, unfortunately, choosing to abandon this LP. I'm sorry if people were expecting me to come back with an update. It's just not in the cards. To try and alleviate some of the stinging this leaves behind, I'm linking the framework save I used, and the most recent saves in an archive, along with the portrait packs and camo packs I use to help keep things playing nice for people to play with/continue the fight. It's not much (in fact, it's less than what you guys deserve from me), but I hope it's something. Who knows. Maybe someone will try and do one better.

Sorry to hear it. LPs like this are fun to read, but I understand the things in life that can just drain the will to do it. May your next attempt work better
