Totaly Reds. I could team up with Grif and do nothing. Sarge would be entertaining anyway, since if yo wouldn't pay attention to him, he'll eventually forget you exist... I could also make fun of Simmons sometimes when the opportunity presents itself. Also it'd be quite interesting to sit there whole day and just talk about stuff. But not stay alone in the base with Donut... (Shivers.)

I wonder if anyone's ever role-played Red versus Blue..... Stealth Elite sitting on a cliff tracks the two Spartans on a Mongoose through a beam rifle..... and shoots one of the tires out, spilling both Grif and Gaius (the Double Gs) out on one of the hills.
You
would like to joyride on the ATV wouldn't you? Or would you just a a layabout
24/7? My character sounds kind of like a predator with its plasma cannon like this!
Gaius Maximus
Jul 28 2007, 05:37 PM
To further develop the story: the Stealth Elite hears an annoying music... and suddenly, from behind the hill, a huge vehicle lands next to him. A red Spartan shoots the Elite, then exclaims 'You just got SARGED!' Upon hearing that, the Double Gs both exclaim 'Oh my god...'
As for role-playing Red vs. Blue, I did that once. Was pretty fun.
I'd love the layabout 24/7... Because all players of H:CE only fight non-stop. Which is kind of annyoing sometimes.
Lord Revan
Jul 28 2007, 05:51 PM
And another Stealth Elite takes cover behind a tree, and swaps it's beam rifle for a...... fuel rod gun! Rather than jump out and fire the hvy. weapon hapharzardly, it climbs up into the tree and fires at the Double Gs while haning upside down from a branch....... which snaps like a twig when the weapon fires and the Elite yells some Shanghieli curse before landing, more or less, on the ground without seriously injuring itself.
The reds now have a blast of plasma racing towards them......
Gaius Maximus
Jul 28 2007, 05:54 PM
As Simmons pushes the pedal, he realizes that it was the wrong one. AS the Warthog stumbles down the cliff, Grif exclaims 'This war sucks.' and Gaius adds 'This army sucks. Let's go.'
The Double Gs get back to base, and start a chat about why are they there.
Lord Revan
Jul 28 2007, 06:17 PM
Comment: this is fun, we should consider starting a thread on this if we get enough support.....
Hauling himself up, the Elite watched the warthog come crashing down the hill with an amusing slack-jawed expression. While Sarge starts monologuing at the enemy he can't see, said enemy wanders over to Blue base.....
Gaius Maximus
Jul 28 2007, 06:25 PM
OOC: Yeah, that'd be fun. We'd just need to make propper character sheets.
As Grif watched the Elite wander off into Blue base, Gaius wondered why didn't he get the sniper rifle. Grif sighed, commenting that 'This joke is overused...', as Gaius proceeded to glare at him then kick him into the soldier cannon, watching Grif fly off and hit the Elite.
Lord Revan
Jul 28 2007, 07:35 PM
I had a long post typed, but then my computer started going out on me, so I'll just go over it. The Alien gets hit by Grif, both tumble down the hill to rest right behind Sarge who is "humiliating" the corpse. The Elite recovers from behing hit by a flying Grif and knocks Sarga out beofre running away and going invisible.
Grif recovers and Simmons tells him what happened in the brief 25 seconds he was stunned. The Elite arrives at Blue base..... as the Blue team looks over this alien vehicle.....
Gaius Maximus
Jul 28 2007, 10:40 PM
As Gaius watches the two start chating again, Sarge shoots Grif (Again), proving that shotgun isn't buggy. Simmons runs the humiliation test on Grif, as the remains of Warthog blow up, and Sarge yells to start evacuation process number 25. Grif gets up, only to be shot by Donut who appeared out of nowhere, as the Reds trigger the plan.
Lord Revan
Jul 28 2007, 10:59 PM
Church watches the Reds through his sniper rifle, Caboose standing beside him. "Man if I got paid everytime I saw the Reds kill Grif, I'd be freakin' rich." He muttured, lowering the gun. The alien thing he'd seen hit Sarge was gone, and no one knew where it had went.
"Which one is....." Caboose paused, "The pink girl?" Church sighed explosively, "Caboose, I don't know who said you could fight in this war, but I'm going to sue them if I ever find him.... or her."
Walking back into Blue Base, Church didn't notice that Caboose wasn't following. The private was staring at the fully-visible Elite standing right in front of him. "Fluffy? I thought you got exploded." The Elite cocked his head to one side, the camera shifted down to the interior of Blue Base.
Gaius Maximus
Jul 28 2007, 11:04 PM
Gaius observed his team through the scope of sniper rifle. "Oh my god... Why do all plans start with killing Grif?" He sighed. A strange bodyless voice that sounded a lot like Sarge exclaimed "No they don't! One plan doesn't!" "Who's talking?!" Gaius asked. Another bodyless voice, this time Grif's, said "Who's talking?! How 'bout who's singing?!?!" Gaius was majorly confused. "Singing? What..." but the Spartan was cut short by a song 'Oh, we're the Red Team, oh we're the Red Team...'
Lord Revan
Jul 28 2007, 11:21 PM
OCC: I didn't particpate in the Beta, so I'm just inventing what the bases look like.
Church stormed down the ramp, deeper into Blue base, until he suddenly stopped. Turning around he realized that Caboose was not present. "Ca----bo---se!" Church dragged out his teamate's name angerly. When he made it to the top of the winding ramp, he quieted.
There was not sign of Caboose, except for the blue helmet sitting right in front of the door. Church cautiously bent down to inspect the familiar helm. Curiously it wouldn't lift off the ground, as if it was attached.
"Church, what are you doing?" He had been pulling with all of his strength, now Tex had come and surprised him and he let go. Church stumbled and smacked against the wall.
"I left Caboose here a second ago, when I came back, he was gone." The black armored freelancer looked back at the helmet, just as she did the world went upside down. The shock from the explosion caused Church to flying a few feet before rolling head-over-heels on the cold floor.

"This is seriously confusing. Red Base is haunted?" gaius exclaimed. "This isn't the Red Base!" A voice said in Mordor Language. Gaius swore in the same language. "This is Barad Dur, the Black Fortress of Sauron!" the voice exclaimed. "Oh, shut up." Gaius said, as the red eye poped out of seemingly nowhere. "Go hunt Frodo or something." "I can't. The vile guy killed me, remember?" Sauron said, using his huge powers to turn green environment of Valhalla into Mordor-ish terrain. "MU-HA-HA!" The evil eye laughed. Saruman poped his head out of the broom closet. "Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!" Aragorn walked out of the bathroom. "Shut up, both of you! You've got pwned. I didn't!" The king shouted. Sauron glared at him. "You've cheated, Gendalf helped you!" Huge eye whinned. "Okay, maybe sheltering all dead LotR characters wasn't such a good idea..." Gaius exclaimed, as Boromir performed his weekly 'Stab-the-evil-wizard' ritual.

Or perhaps the role play area? Looks an interesting story, though I never watched Red vs. Blue so it confuses me a bit. Or does it have to be set in the Elder Scrolls universe to be in that area?

In news of my life. I got a Fair Trade policy added into the student's association constitution which is quite a good achievement. I am also running for the council of said association and I think I have a fairly good chance of getting in. I am running for fair trade, sustainability, international student rights (who are viewed as cash cows), political representation for Teacher's college students (who are screwed on) and a variety of fun stuff to attract the apathetic student vote.
Lord Revan
Jul 29 2007, 05:40 AM
The characters generally make fun of military life (as well as Halo). Mostly, they never suceed in killing members of the other team. Grif and Simmons of Red Team claim "We don't get paid enough to do anything."
And both teams hate each other as much as they do their fellow teamates, it's basically a giant sit-com as both sides take time out of the daily routine of interacting with each other (only on a few occassions causing casualties) to fight of an evil threat..... and then get back to the good old life of "fighting" the other team and disrespecting your firends as much as your enemies.

Hey good going Pisces .. and here I thought you were there just to stalk the girls and suck down the beer. I'm not sure what the teachers college students entry is about .. but smart to mention teachers so that they will be aware of your campaign and possibly be on your side. Or if they are not it might even be better so that students vote for you just to piss their teachers off.
Good luck on that anyway .. the fair trade thing is the main thing, eh? Wish it was more prevalent in the US. I only heard of Fair Trade from you and Doomed One, I think it was him.

Yeah fair trade is incredibly important for governments to work together, and for a free market to be healthily sustained. As soon as a condition is broken, all companies in the market that want to stay a competitor must break the conition, and tons of money becomes spent on taking away people's rights(Which I think in cludes the lobbying of government representatives to start coups to get rid of democratically elected leaders(okay, not all are elected but most are fairly elected) because those leaders kick out these massive multinational companies that are there to pay next to nothing. Their tactic to be successful is not to make the best product, but to keep people hopeless. Fair trade is all about an enforcement of paying people what they can agree their product is worth, which is a staple of the free market.

Man, my boyfriend is going off to college in about two weeks.
Aug 15 is also when my senior year starts. YAY! I hope it goes fast. I can't wait until college, when I'm out on my own and don't have to deal with pesky siblings or parents...
Friday I'm getting purple streaks in my hair. I'm having it done professionally so I don't look like a moron.
Not much has been going on for me, unfortunately. My life is incredibly boring in the summer. Just eating, sleeping, with DnD once a week.

Ohhh Zarr, I'm excited for you about senior year and especially about the purple streaks in your hair. Do post us a picture when you get a chance. I would love to see you that way ... purple is my favorite color.
I've often thought about just putting a rinse in my hair (dull dark-blonde/light brown) to make it maroon colored. Maybe you will give me the courage to do so if yours turnns out good.

Urgh, my internet problems persist long enough to last another day. I got a phonecall from my mother while I was at working telling me that the Bell technician showed up at our home but didn't even know what he was supposed to do there. Shortly after that I got a phonecall from Bell asking me what I wanted done and I told them my "Dry Loop" thing that I was told would solve my problem. I guess they thought that meant we wanted a whole new phone line which is what we didn't want. We just wanted out DSL modem to work.
Well I guess my mom tried to get things sorted out and like they did with me when I first tried to get this "dry loop" thing organized, they sent to like 9 different people before she got fed up and decided to cancel the service.
So tomorrow, a Rogers technician is coming over and installing Cable Internet. Hoo ray!

That's great Mallet! We can share your frustration here where we live because BrightHouse doesn't have a substation in our town but runs us off the neighboring town which is where we used to live.
The difference out here is like molasses being poured compared to pouring water. We get laggy game play, complete outages and to make it worse we now live in a condo where everyone is spliced into the same line up in the roof ... and they refuse to give you your own dedicated line at all.
We are thinking of going to DSL .. don't know yet.

I saw Alien Versus Predator for the first time yesterday. Now, I saw the last part of Predator 1 a few years ago and that freaked me out. I was pleased that AVP didn't disturb me like Pred one did, and it was really good.
One reason it wasn't so bad was probably because I had read about both Aliens and Predators since then (wikipedia) and maybe that undertsnading helped me look at them from a new prospective. I want to see AVP 2 when it comes out (some time in December this year).
