OP updated-ish. I added JDGA, izak, and AcRv so hopefully I didn't miss anybody. If I did, feel free to send me more strongly-worded PMs. Thanks to those who reminded me!

Aaaah! I'm so sorry - I forgot to put the deadline on my calendar. Rolling dice now.

Yeah this died.....

Mist, this game has been running for almost SIXTEEN months now, and shows no signs of stopping. I

very

highly doubt that it's dead. Mods have lives too, you know~

It had better not have died! I put so much thought into my character!

But yeah, I doubt the mods will have forgotten about this anyway.

And by last night I mean sometime this weekend. Feel free to send me strongly-worded PMs regarding my lack of attentiveness. Otherwise I'll probably forget again.

theplague42 has sent me the first draft of the next turn's resolutions. I delayed posting them because I wanted to update how many bullets the different gun-wielding characters had left.

On which subject: Mist7676, if you happen to be online: did you have some specific gun in mind, or shall we pick one?

Mist7676 · Post Post #1608 (ISO) » Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:11 am

Ummm I don't know type of guns....

Umm maybe a small handgun?

Wow, has it really been that long?

To any and all concerned, I'm pretty sure that neither Packbat nor I would siteflake and leave our games (especially this one, seeing how much time we've put into it) modless. Any/all delays are caused by my laziness and joint forgetfulness.

tl;dr I don't remember stuff well

Hey, I updated the OP awhile ago, missy!

(Is using "missy" appropriate in this context? I feel like it is, considering the age difference)

Also, the fact that we continually apologize for our lack of attentiveness shows that the game isn't dead!

All right - that's roughly in line with what I have in my draft, so I'll just leave it as it is. (I was tempted to inflict a Smith & Wesson Model 460 on you, but that gun makes Dirty Harry's look like a capgun.)

This is a Smith & Wesson 460.

And no, that's not what you'll be shooting.

Turn 73 Resolution

jmj3000: 6-1 = 5

Mist7676: 6

Thinking fast, jmj3000 pretends to crumple and fall -- bringing his shotgun to bear.

*BOOM!* *chk-chk!* *BOOM!*

Two aliens fall to the floor, mortally wounded by birdshot. jmj3000 continues to fire as he scoots across the landing of the fire escape to the stairs. When he is out of shells, he shifts the empty shotgun to his off hand, rolls to his feet, pulls out his Beretta, and sprints down the stairs.

jmj3000 is carrying an empty shotgun, a Beretta loaded with 11 rounds, and a shoulder bag containing four boxes of birdshot, one with two instead of ten, three slugs, and 45 rounds of 9mm cartridges.

As he is doing this, Mist7676, on the ground, reaches into a shoulder holster and pulls out an old Browning Hi-Power pistol. She thumbs the safety and starts sweeping from left to right, firing two shots at the center of mass of each of the alien soldiers, taking down six before the rest retreat back down the street. jmj3000 reaches the bottom of the fire escape just in time to see her run around the corner and out of sight.

"Miiiiist!" screams jmj3000. He throws the shotgun on its strap over his shoulder and sprints to the corner, pistol at the ready. Peering around, he sees Mist7676 taking cover in a doorway, bullet whizzing by. Looking further up the street, he sees a large mecha-type machine moving towards him, its chain guns roaring.

Mist7676 is now carrying a Browning 9mm automatic with one bullet in the chamber. She has a second 13-round magazine, fully loaded, in her coat pocket.

Tragedy: 1

CSL: 5

CSL and Tragedy lie down in the rubble and remain still as the mecha walks by. It scans the area with its light-cannon but does not see the pair of survivors. It enters another doorway and makes its way deeper into the building, and its heavy footsteps quickly fade to silence.

animorpherv1: 5

Seeing Mist7676 pulling out a gun, animorpherv1 and the lynx dive out of the line of fire and rush through the nearest building. Pausing at another doorway on the other side, animorpherv1 checks the street in both directions and slings the empty Galil over his shoulder as he creeps out.

After a couple minutes of walking with the lynx at his side, animorpherv1 sees a large metal tower forming one corner of the alien structure. The ship he saw earlier seems to be docking at the top. There are a few alien guards in front of the tower apparently protecting a large entrance. One of them appears to operate a radio of sorts and motions to the rest. They heft their weapons and move out, leaving just two left to guard the door.

theamatuer: 3

theamatuer quickly backtracks and finds another room. He takes a shoelace and sets it as a tripwire across the doorway before heading towards a staircase of sorts. He pauses at the top, waiting to see if his trap is effective. A satisfying

crunch

is hurt from below as an alien trips and smashes its face into the floor. Its comrades help it to its feet and continue into the building.

Bearing in mind that theplague42 has veto rights in case any of this doesn't match his conception of the scene:

You, jmj3000, are in the opening of an alley between two office buildings. Both ends of the alley open onto streets; you are currently sheltered from the mecha behind the concrete pillar that forms the corner of the building you just left. Mist7676 is across the street in the entrance of another office tower - including the sidewalks, the width of the street is around eighty feet, and she's about forty feet closer to the mecha than you are.

During the second or so that you were around the corner, you spotted several of the lizardlike aliens, all running for cover.

The mecha is similar to the one from Turn 63, except without the targeting laser and with cases for extra bullets rather than missiles - it is probably only armed with the chain guns.
