Proposal to increase tension
« on: January 19, 2016, 08:18:41 AM »
Greetings folks.

From this point forward, the Raid of Horuz is going to get intense, and escalate quickly. In a tabletop game, on occasion when things get tense, the GM would disallow any OOC discussion at the table, and press people for rapid responses to situations. I'd like to do something similar here. I have two proposals:

1. I'd like to shorten the posting time down to maximum three days (or less).

2. Any interaction between you must be done in-character. The intent is to increase the tension, so I'd ask you not communicate in-game information to each other either via the forums or through PM's. I can't stop you from sending PM's of course, and I'll keep the OOC forum open for reactions and such, but I'll ask you not to provide suggestions, or discuss courses of action in an OOC manner. Feel free to react to each other's actions - if you see someone doing something you think is a hugely bad idea, you can try and stop them, for example, giving up your action to attempt it.

These proposals are presented as separate yet complimentary items. I'm looking for acceptance from all of you for either or both of them. Please indicate your agreement or disagreement below. Questions will be entertained.

Sounds good. Can you give some guidelines /rules regarding IC communication? I believe we all have comms now.

Yeah, you all have comlinks. Anything not integrated or attached would be an action to use, however, unless you just keep the channel open and keep then somewhere near your mouth.

I believe Keshani, Niil, Collan, Ch'lana and Nim all have hand-held models. Nightshade and Trax have helmet-integrated units.

I assumed they were all hand held when Trax gave his comm to Keshani.  But we can just start yelling really loudly in most situations. :)

1. For posts on a Friday, can we have Monday night/Tuesday morning as the cut off please?  Connie works Saturdays and we use Sundays for our errands etc which would make it very hard for me to post those days.

2. Works for me.

Two repeaters and 20 troopers behind double shielding isn't tense enough?   ;D

Sure, 3 days, not counting weekends.

I gave trax my hand held and am using the wristcomp or buzz. I didn't know trax had a helmet.

Also I grabbed a trooper helmet earlier so I could eavesdrop on their comms. Just haven't had a moment IC to check into it.

Eep . . . I hope that stormtrooper helmet doesn't have a tracker built into it . . .

If it does, it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Lol
