No more eh. Ah well. I'll just watch this one from the shadows.

You were reserved hircine, your sheet is still: Pending.

That'd be impossible as their first album came out in 08, and I can tell you I was not in diapers in 08.

It'll be finished sson.

.. Y'never know. I was in diapers at 11. But that was because of a terrible terrible disease.

Well, I am sorry to hear that.

Oh it's fine, I didn't die. Lol
Looking back on it, it was pretty fun. Got to sit in a hospital bed all day for 4 days with games and a bathroom-shower not 2 feet from the bed...
Ok, on topic: IC's up. Check eet?

Yep Im bout to post in there just gotta finalize my damn sheet and figure out how to use spoiler tags.

Wanna tell me how?

... Or maybe...
No I can't remember for the life of me. Let me think.

CONFOUNDIT!

I missed the hater arguement. But just to throw in my opinions, Mouse's CS was a little over the top with the amount of weapons he has, and the humvee is a little much. Afterall, where do you find the diesel fuel for it anyways? Water is hard enough in the Wasteland.

I'd also like to agree with the idea that not everyone carries their guns around all the time, with the exception of those who have a peronal connection to it (family heirloom, etc.).

And to top it all off, (though it's a little late), the reason we don't see modern-age weapons in any of our beloved Fallout games is because THEY DO NOT EXIST. The timeline for the Fallout universe follows the Earth's timeline exactly up until the 1950s. In the 1950s, the Fallout timeline begins to veer away from our own, and takes a whole different course than our own. By the time the bombs fell, you can be sure that in the Fallout universe, they hadn't developed weapons exactly like our own. It's always bugged me that people still insist on flaunting their knowledge of modern weaponry in their CS, even when they clearly don't exist in Fallout.

Hope you enjoyed my little speech. GOODNIGHT!

Now head over to the IC with all that rage and make a post? Plox?

That post was a little silly, the prtotype weapons were already made in the 50's including the M16 which basically paved the way for many modern weapons. AS well the main Russian weapon platform was already in design in the 50's.

Plus many people have 3 weapons. So having 3 guns adn knife is not really a stretch. Anyways Ima make a post.

LETS GIVE IT UP FOR THE SECOND APOCALYPSE!!!!

damn, that's not really a good thing, is it...

:sadvaultboy:

minecraft has been pwning my life, but I'll write something in the IC before I crash.

Also @ the audience, even though both my dagger and my pistol are very dear to me (and the only reason I have such an old weapon is because its been passed down), I won't even have it on me. I'm not sure of how Francois will do this, but chances are I'm going to be running for my life with nothing but the items on my carpentry belt to save my life (hammers, masking tape for taping zombie mouths shut, tape measurer, for measuring the jaw width and such).

I feel it amps the tension and creates a challenge when you are low on supplies, but anyways...

In essence that's the idea, I know where everything's gonna go to hell... I've alluded to it in my post actually. Also, don't go rambo, I wanna keep it realistic. You couldn't take down 2 ghouls before a 3rd rushed you right? Same principle. You get hit once, you're gonna get injured massively. You get bit...

I have a way in which we could start the outbreak, if you're interested. I know I should have thought of and presented this sooner but here it is.

Good idea, but it's not what I'm after. I've already discussed it with Josh. As well as that the secret govern. group is directly involved with stopping the zombie's...

We have already planned how the outbreak will happen :/

It's all good man, its all good.

Just want to know am I in.
Also these zombies are they just feral ghouls or are they real zombies.

You're in Cap'n.
For Fallout lore they are ghoul-like creatures with the ability to infect others and a craving for flesh. But yeah, they're pretty much zombies.

I understand what you're thinking of, by the 1950s, the Russians had introduced the AK-47 to the market, and in the Fallout universe, we see the AK-47 very closely related to the Chinese Assault Rifle. The M16, like you pointed out, did serve as a platform for many modern-age weapons today, that's why we see the variant in Fallout called the Service Rifle. We also see the Grenade Rifle resembling some modern day grenade launchers, as well as the Marksman Carabine. However, this is pretty much where the similarities end, (other than the standard 9mm pistol). After the split in timelines from the 1950s, designs and schematics were never made for TAR-21s, or Spas-12, or anything like we have to date. To say that the timelines veered from the 1950s in two different directions, and then they matched exactly during this time period to create the exact same weapons is absolutely ridiculous. Like I said before, there's a reason we don't find our favorite Call of Duty weapons hiding in old Pre-War forts. I'm not asking you to change your CS, but I'm just making people aware of this little detail.

The thign you dont realise is weapon platforma and systems akin to real world ones would be developed. So I can eaither make up an Israeli rifle or for simplicitys sake I can use a real world Israeli rifle.

So then to you, it's a matter of simplicity and not overcomplicating things or making people confused by trying to describe what kind of weapon you character has. I can see how that would work, my opinion is that we just all get along with what Fallout gives us. Use original Fallout weapons as a base, then add modifications as you see fit (see my character's weapon as an example).

The whole weapon platforms thing, however, isn't so accurate. By the year 2077, the timeline would have strayed so far from ours that they woudn't have anything remotely close to what we have today. The weapon systems we have today are mostly original, save for a few, and don't base their design or principle on any platform weapons like the M16.

In other news, do I get bonus points for writing a novel in the IC? :whistling:

I like novels myself, reminds me of an old friend of mine from Canada who used to take 3 hours to write one post... But damn... Best posts ever...

I agree with Xivilai by the way, how else would they come up with plasma tech? We're not even close to putting that into small weaponry. We've barely got it covered for something over a tonne in weight!

Your ight, the weapons might not be anything liek teh ones we ahve to today. But I can tell you that they would have a Bullpup Assualt rifle out there, so instead of me saying I have the NAR-12 I can just say the TAR-21. Also the original games used real world weapons, G11 a prottype from teh 80's and 90's which by that logic should never have existed. Just because there is a tiem split does nto mean gun companies would nto come up with the same ideas for their guns.




And thats the thing I find funny. They use vacuum tubes and dont ahve miniaturisation down but tehy can put plasma weapons as hand helds. Its something that does not make sense.

I also would love to be able to write novels but I dont have that much skill.

So then we all agree to disagree, just how it should be.

And that's kindof funny you mention that, Francois, because I'm Canadian. And I wrote that in a little under 1 hour and 15 minutes... Maybe I know the guy you're talking about?

It also does strike me funny that the Fallout world seems stuck in the 50s/60s, but they've also managed to be so progressive that they've pretty much made space travel a passtime, and made plasma and laser weapons without miaturising everything first.
