Please don't 72 hour me, I got a post written, up, but it is on my other computer(without net), and I can't post it here at the moment because I am just checking some stuff for a couple minutes between projects, but I will get the post up soon, probably tomorrow.
In the following quotes, struck-through areas I have problems with.
---------------- He started to go back to 'W' when suddenly the doors burst down on both sides of the room.<s>Galactic Coalition troops rushed in, and quickly began stunning the enemey troops. More troops from inside the facility were following them in.</s> The scientist the unknown (Anthos) troops had captured fell to the ground, acting as if he had been stunned. <s>It looked like the troops would win here.</s> ----------------
---------------- In the ground facility, most of the troops on the ground quickly went itno the turbolifts, and up to the level where the enemy troops were. ----------------
Can't. Or at least, mention my actions, please. " Breaking up into groups of five, they quickly took control of what turbolifts they could find (namely, by shooting the lights out of them, and then using a few pack-along repulsor-pads to navigate the lift-tubes) and what other systems they could find. "
[snip]
"We read around thirty to fifty ants entering the building at the bottom. Two turbolitfs are still active, suggest you move to terminate."
"Negative," he replied. "We're almost done here."
"Acknowledged. Hurry it up, you only have a few minutes before they're on you."
---------------- A squad of 10 men got into airspeeders and flew up to the level that the enemy troops were at. They blaster a hole in the building, which they flew into. The troops got off, and rushed to the room that the enemy troops were in. <s>They quickly set a charge on the wall, and got out numerous stun grenades. The charge went off, and stun grenades were lobbed into the room. The troops then moved forward, and started to stun anything that moved. The troops on the turbolifts were almost at the same level...</s> ----------------
1. I was going to let you mention your actions. For the water base I just said we got to the room, and started firing madly at your troops, didn't say any casualties or anything, you have tons of room to do stuff in that.
2. Ground base: My troops on the turbolifts aren't at your level yet, you can still stop them from getting there.
The 10 troops at the end were the ones that took airspeeders up to the level. These troops haven't inflicted any damage, they just also shot madly at your troops.
And if your complaining about me doing too much, look at what you did. You magically transported all my troop spread throughout the ground base to a different level, and ignored the fact that the computers probably would have a password, something more then just a key you can take off a body.
In the water base you magically got past my troops, and started downloading stuff, ignoring the guys that were hot on your heels.
You will notice that I purposely did not mention casualties, because I knew you would make your guys do something, and knew that you would probably want to RP it.
Let's examine this, again. Post 1: A submarine appears out of an empty sky, drops into the water and twenty seconds later (as stated in the post) does a power-dive into an underwater R&D station and unloads troops via its nose.
Thirty seconds from appearing, my submarine has unloaded its forces. The perfect surprise attack, no? Your main defense forces are focused on a tense battle in outer space, a cloaked craft ejects a submarine that is moving for only thirty seconds. One could almost assume that this attack would pretty much go undetected.
But no!
WHAMO!
In your replying post INSTANTANEOULSY you have five submarines tracking my sub, and a sixth submarine is ejecting organic-gill armed troops. To quote your post:
Now THAT is magic. THIRTY SECONDS, and not only do you have submarines moving in to the kill, but you have a planned trap and you are unloading strike teams. Thirty seconds. It took me thirty seconds to type out this paragraph, in that same time your sub-commanders are able to formulate and coordinate a complete anti-terrorist defense strategy.
I made protest of this, but let it drop thinking that you would realize your erroneous error, and simply play along for the rest of this pitifully dilapidated RP. But no, in the next post I outline how my troops are deploying themselves, and starting to access the enemy computers. I took maybe two or three minutes in this post.
In your responding post both attack sites are swarming with defending soldiers. At max three minutes and thirty seconds after my troops magically appeared out of the atmosphere, low on the ground, you've basically wiped them out.
Honestly now! So I fibbed a bit on the computer-slicing thing. If I had written it out properly, eg: started a slice, etc, would you have played realistically, and begun to organize an attack? Would you fly in troops, set up a perimeter, call in air support to watch for my cloaked craft, jam coms in the building, get a strike team ready, figure out how many civilians are in the building, prepare gas, or any of the things one can expect from a defender?
I am the attacker. You are the defender. You can assume that all my moves are pre-planned by my troops. All your movements are reactive, you have to see my actions, plan a counter, and then execute it. I will basically have the edge in terms of surprise.
Not like that means anything, since your troops would respond to a magicians vanishing girl act by shooting the bloke in the gonads.
Now, here's the deal. With your posts as they stand, and they will stand, yes, we have two options.
1 - I write a huge post which completes my part of this RP. I will conclude my actions on the planet, nuke the ORS hyperdrives, take what prisoners I want, etc, and then I will leave, shaking the dust off of my shoes.
Or,
2 - I basically mop the floor with your strike-team troops. They foolishly attacked without a plan, and my prepared troops will have no trouble dealing with their foolishly premature attack. Well-prepared troops VS blundering idiots with no plan, absolutely no contest. Then we start all over again, me posting, you posting, and me thinking about shooting myself because I have to resurrect this sad OOC thread yet again.
Well it is magic you happen to know where my R&D stations were and managed it find them in 30 seconds.
I'll pick option 1, but will be watching your post, and making sure you don't do anything stupid(such as magecially get you guys out of an underwater base which my subs are patrolling around)
