starting the mission?

[trueblaze]

So, now that we've gotten things started, when do you guys think we should start the mission itself? I can set it up to start at any time, just need to know when you guys think we should.

I'd probably be good to go once Rain and Strike's conversation is all set.

By the way when I say Start the Mission, I mean, have Ciel return to talk with G1 to which about a week later (real time) a meeting will be called where all active characters will be debrefed

Oops, missed this one earlier. I would tend to say about a week should cover character introductions. Given that the first mission has a 1 week start-up time, I'd say aim for getting the process started approximately now if not a day sooner.

Pretty much everyone that has posted thus far, has covered their requisite character intro. Sokuren, I sorta booted to the side with the rapid convo our two characters had though. (Willing to fix that if you're up to a bit of RP though Sokuren. Do note that Akiko is a bit weird though, and indiscriminately already dislikes you for hogging the good leg parts while dear Blaze suffered so. )

I'm personally more worried about considering some sort of player limit on missions. We've never had much success with missions that include more than 4 players; causing less active players to get left behind, hyper-active players to team up and steal the show, the overall confusion, trying to get everyone together to actually advance it, etc.

Not to mention, ala THH, missions had a tendency to just grab characters, regardless of their talents and ability to contribute. The Giga City offshore landing on the Hunters side (By the time we figured out what the hell was going on) ended up being a mechanic, and a flyer who suicided themselves on purpose for a reason which now escapes me.

Might work to consider this and focus on the talents of the characters and "make" missions for them. If we have 3 engineers/repair type characters sitting around while a stealthy mission is going on, send them off on a relief/repair mission to the place our heavy fighter characters just blasted to bits. Keep a decent and valid reason for a character; a hospital near ground zero that might need help by a non-combat doctor escorted by a combat PC, etc.

Has Sokuren even been on lately? I've been waiting for him to respond to the fact Blaze slammed into him before falling.


As for starting the mission, since I have tomorrow off, I think I'll get the set up for that started then. It probably won't take a week to get going, but it probably will be a few days (depending on how much people post) before things get started for the mission briefing.

[rumor]

Right then. I'll be ready.

(And I just have to have Temp meet Akiko. I have a feeling it'll be funny.)

[grandmasterdewei]

I'm ready. Give the word, and Zackary will go.

[Sokuren]

I'm good starting the mission whenever, just realize that i tend to post slower than most of you people. and that I'm unavailable form 10pm to 4 pm on the next day during Monday-Friday (damn you school!)
