After reading this it sounds like to me that V13 (Fallout Online) will be both PVP and PVE at the same time.

Now that sounds cool.

I also like the humor that they presented in the story.

Does this one sound familiar?


"Battle of New Orleans" - Johnny Horton

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

[Chorus]

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well.
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

[Chorus]

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.**

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]


(The Chorus)
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

I think you're reading too much into it Dave Chase.

That said, it was great fiction. Best one so far, I think.

I wonder if J. Hardy (excuse me, Murphy's Law) is an NPC we can meet in-game. He seems kinda cool, and that's probably how I would act in a real-life scenario like that. I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?

And maybe the super duper stimpack explains how you can die in the game and come back

One thing we do know though. That is NOT THE GUN FOR YOU! I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?

Just Dave, Dave Chase sounds so formal.

And I Hope I'm not reading to much into it. But only time will tell.

It was a good story, but not really sure if it was very Fallout-y. They did drop the name of a town, two bandit groups (possibly join-able factions) plus the last, unknown group. Obviously there will be old rifles (the old hunting rifle, I'd say,) T-51b power armor and FEV.

My gripe comes with the second section of the newsletter and those guns shown. WAY to modernized! They don't have any resemblance at all to something from the Fallout world! And I sure hope the Super Duper Stimpack is not the best way they were able to come up with player death.

The FEV tick people sound quite disgusting. Other than that, I'm not sure anything else can really be gleamed from the 3rd section.

What I see in the 3rd story, is possibly, all speculation here of course, a player either on a 'quest' to explore an area, or perhaps a player 'surveying' for crafting materials (a little bit like SWG?).

You do realize that most of these stories are like what you would hear around a bar or at a gamer convention.

The story gets taller, wider and more elaborate at each telling.

IT WAS 5000 CHIPMUNKS! MUTATED ONES AND ALL HAD RABIES!

IT WAS 5000 CHIPMUNKS! MUTATED ONES AND ALL HAD RABIES!

Yeah, and that was just the ones doing the attacking.

There were some as big as mole rats in the back giving orders.

I even heard that some of the Chipmunks scavenged the dead bodies taking food and knives off of them.

LOL, I love that movie. That demon bunny cracked me up.

"Too late!"
"What?"
"There he is!"
"Where?"
"There!"
"What, behind the rabbit?"
"It is the rabbit!"
"You silly sod!"
"What?"
"You got us all worked up!"
"Well, that's no ordinary rabbit."
"Ohh?"
"That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on."
"You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!"
"Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide; it's a killer!"
"Get stuffed!"
"He'll do you up a treat mate!"
"Oh, yeah?"
"You mangy scots git!"
"I'm warning you!"
"What's he do, nibble your bum?"
"He's got huge, sharp... eh... he can leap about... look at the bones!"
"Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!"
"Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!"
"Look!"
**rabbit squeaks**
"AAaaghhh"
**rabbit jumps up and bites off knight's head**
"Jesus Christ!"
"I warned you!"
"I done it again!"
"I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them..."
"Oh, shut up!"
"Do they listen to me?"
"Right!"
"Oh, no..."
"Charge!"
**rabbit sqeaks and sqeaks**
**knights scream**
"Run away! Run away!"

LMAO... I just watched the movie a couple days ago, so pretty much got it memorized. Plus I've seen it a dozen times. Never gets old.

Nothing embodies the humor of the original fallouts like a little monty python.

"What...... is the air spead velocity of an un-laiden swallow?"

I certainly think Dave is reading into these stories too much. I don't really think they're anything more then humor's stories, which Fallout is very well known for. I would however enjoy seeing the Death Blanky in game, but I'd hope it was rather hard to find and kept strictly for humorous purposes... It would get kinda annoying to be run down by a wave of hungry chipmunks every time you stepped foot into a wooded area. Unless ofcourse you had a flame thrower or a weed wacker with kitchen knifes instead of string.

I would also voice my concern that I hope the weapons in game aren't really going the direction that the second story depicted. It didn't seem very Fallout esk. Infact it was more along the lines of madmax or heaveymetal then the Pulp back ground that make's up Fallout.

remember, I may be a dirty tribal, but I still love me some Inkspots and some Nuka Cola

(for all of you who aren't in the know, The Inkspots are the group who sang the songs that are at the Beginning of Fallout 1 and Fallout 3.) Another drunk conquistador conquering the governor's ball...

I kind of hope the two groups Hounds and the Blues were two guilds fighting eachother since they both were after the Boss (death blankey) so might i hope no or at least some non-instanced dungeons, be prepared to fight the boss and defend the loot from other greedy players.

Some one else who saw the same general potential that I did.

Dave Chase

I think it is very humors that people think this story somehow reflects actual in game features. Another drunk conquistador conquering the governor's ball...
