I have 30 Sentry Bots, but those are all guarding the basemant, save for two who stand at the front doors of the tower. My main army is about the size of the Enclave, but only a dozen or so wear power armor, the recruits mainly wear Pre-War combat armor. I know it's dumb, but I just thought it'd be the most realistic without God Moding :sadvaultboy:

We have a Vertibird too I guess and some robots but we're a little... un-certain about them after Eden. Secrecy is our shield.

It's not dumb; it's well balanced. And besides, you'll be receiving a bunch of T-51bs from the Enclave. We don't really need em. I'll probably mention that in my next post, which'll be tomorrow, by the way.

About half-a-dozen, don't forget it's Sutler after all, just to bolster your own defences more, kept the rest that were there for spare parts.

[Sarah Unwin]

Wow Alex, and people think the 'clave is bad? Your [censored] selling your captured foe's into slavery as monsters, that's some pretty disturbing [censored].

[Dominic Vaughan]

Pardon the 'hipster' language, but this battle is going to be rather epic. Army of mutants (behemoth included!), nest of deathclaws and combat armour mercs vs a legion of Securitrons backed by an angry mob. Should be interesting,

I'm still sitting on the fence. Of course, Sutler has the final say as to who the Enclave sides with, but for Adams, it's a tough choice. The GP are a potential rival who appear to care little for the nation's rebirth, just what's on their personal agenda, and I wouldn't be surprised if they turned on the Enclave. But on the other hand they'd be a powerful ally, and Adams refuses to be affiliated with super mutants. Hmm, tricky.
But, of course, Adams is always pondering over the greater good. Would fighting with super mutants not help their chances of eradicating the GP? Dang.

But yeah, Alex is a boss, and definitely pissed.

Yup, he is pissed.

@ The Enclave, I don't want Alex to be good, or evil. He is grey.

Jesus Christ, Alex you're a monster :bonk:

Here is the location of Bridgeport. Alex will keep the name of the city.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=Bridgeport&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=Bridgeport,+CT&gl=us&ei=vGEqTZKlLous8Abe5cDuAQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA
The town will be located in the ruins of Downtown. The cities walls will be smack dab in the middle of the old interstates. The wall will also will be smack dab in the middle of Congress Street. Piers will be set all along the waterfront.

The city will have no leader. It will be shared between Harris, Alex, Vlad, and Lyn (If you would like that.)

[Daramis McGee]

I would appreciate being part of the leading group of the new city. Just so long as Alex accepts animals into the city (I'm sure he will since he said he hates bigotry...but does that apply to animals as well?)

Oh, quick question (which might also be rhetorical), Isn't it counter-productive to be fighting the guy who's wedding we were protecting?

[Samantha Wood]

Cristo, you raise a good point but I nerf the GP in a more plausible way such as financial or other issues. Remember that an autocracy has its own problems and if William gets really stressed out, there's really nobody that can take the position other than Byron, who's also busy with...other things.

The thing with soldiers is that the GP kidnapped people for over 100 years. Some died, some lived. If they kidnapped 4 people a week and only 2 live...that's about 10,000 people. Obviously many have died over the course of those 200 years, reducing the numbers but it's supplemented by the Securitron army.

But then again, the last battle with the mutants showed that the GP can't really compete with pure blunt strength of another fearless army. Their enemies of before were disorganized tribes or fairly weak cities. The Federation was an exception but they aren't as fearless as raging super mutants.

Oh and the whole point of the GP agenda is to recreate America in their way. Just like Caesar only a different style of government, very similar to Mr. House's type of government.

[Lizs]

Bridgeport's in Connecticut? Damn, that's quite far away, Alex. I hope you don't lost contact with New Manhattan completely -- it'll be interesting to see how the two states deal with each other now.

And that's all right then, Dark. Just try to shed some light on the financial struggles (for example) in your posts; not because I don't believe you, but because it's easy to get distracted by the vertibirds bombing the city to oblivion.

It's not too far away. I'd estimate about 30 miles from New Manhattan. Of course, I'm not known for having great estimating abilities.

[XPidgex Jefferson]

So there's going to be a jump? Well I think that maybe we should contribute to some updates for the locations section at the start of the threads, maybe Alex, you could organise them so that all the locations that have been mentioned and are actually used should be at the top of their respective sections and maybe leave a double space between those which have yet to be visited or included.

[Tai Scott]

Hm, so an OOC thread got allowed?
Nice.

Has not left the RP, been on a break.
Been preoccupied this entire weekend, my internal clock has been shot to hell and has not had the energy to focus on writing anything really.
My story is fortunately on it's solo right now and doesn't interfere with anyone else's. (at least I hope so...)
So during this week when I've gone back to normal routines I'm going to write some and get back on track.

[Damian Parsons]

Dark I really hope you're not planning on playing Warlord on me. I really don't feel like roleplaying a huge battle :bonk:

[AnDres MeZa]

Who is going to do this time jump?

[Austin England]

Don't do a [censored] time jump! It's totally ridiculous and throws everything off balance. Completely unfair on people like me, Adam and Mieux who haven't been directly involved with the 'war', as we then have to make up a whole load of stuff to pass the time -- we've got nowhere to go from.

[Leah]

Oh, I see. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. We will go without a jump then.

And I'm kind of leery on Dark possibly doing another 'LETS MAKE ASSAULT' kind of thing. I really dont want the RP to devolve into an endless 'war rp'.

@Ramendia- Those time jumps are neccassary because everyone seems to want to make it a [censored] battle sim.

RP isn't about battles; it's about the interaction between characters and their development. It's a story which is driven by more than one writer, so war is incredibly difficult to RP without people getting angry at other RPers (no offence, Dark, but it's all getting ridiculous now -- your last post you said the GP was even more powerful <_<).

We especially can't to battles if the factions are unbalanced.

Well thats my problem, the RP is turning to a straight out slugging match. I mean, I pretty much dived into the RP without knowing the plots in detail and still managed to fit in pretty well. I mean, I have 30 sentry bots and 30 to 40 'soldiers' that mostly do patrols and if you remember, only 2 sentry bots are out in the world, the other 28 stay in the basemant as my Alamo so to speak, I also have that one vertibird, but it's only weapons are dual mounted guns, no missles or anything. I mean, I really tried to make myself powerful but having it very possible to defeat me. But at this point. theres like 1000 everything duking it out. Honestly it feels like GP is in full God Mode, even if unintended, it's something like 300 Securitrons plus alot of footsoldiers, Vertibirds and all this other overpowering stuff.

Not to cry foul, but I really feel like things are in need of some serious retconning or something.

Edit- Oh and Chris, do you know where Enclave is? Havent seen him lately, I thought he said he'd be able to regularly RP again.

Of course, I agree, but it's difficult to retcon factions where trends have been established without completely changing the shape of the RP. We could come to an agreement recognising the GP's nerfing, but then the New Manhattan battle would make absolutely no sense, as they wouldn't have been able to achieve such a victory.

Ugh, all I can suggest right now is that we leave events as they are for now, but try and balance out each faction from here on out. Like I said, a RP is a story, but it's not 'planned', so to speak; we just think about how our characters would react to certain situations, and go with it... we shouldn't need to decide how things are going to turn out, but desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.

EDIT; He's around, I think, Martyr, but there's not really much for Sutler to do, atm. He needs to hear Adams's report, but I'm wary of posting because I don't want there to be a sudden jump, and find out I've wasted my time.

I'm about where you are at. Maybe 2 dozen deathclaws, and a dozen injured mirelurks. They seem powerful at first, but if you think about it, a single vertibird could take them out without trying.

[gemma king]

I know. I normally like the RP to be made up as we go along, but I may just drop out of this if the story devolves in to 'X starts war with Y, Y starts war with Z' and everything. Battles and skirmishes are one thing, but I kind of felt like the latest events have been a Micheal Bay movie. IE: EXPLOSIONS! Plus that sentient behemoth bit was a little extreme. But I dont mind, Alex let it die off. All I'm saying is, we need to simmer down the action and bring more dialogue back to the story.

@Ramendia- I'll just be flat out with this.It's not you, me, or anyone else. I'm most concerned with Dark, I mean, his RP skills are fine and all, but the way he's been upping the numbers on hsi army lately, I can't help but [censored] an eyebrow and be confused. I mean. His numbers are largely unbeatable unless everyone wars together against him. But atm, I just want to cut the guns and war crap and get back to a more stable and dialogue based story for a while.
