Ok, was that something I missed?

 

If so my bad.

[Slips]

Eldar Children?! With how slowly they reproduce they make for good bargaining chips. Buuuuuut with where we are they might be Exodites and that means giant dinosaurs...

Posted these questions in a different forum but figured I should ask here too.

 

How complex is Astartes Battle Sign?

Is it widely known amongst most chapters?

Could it be used to identify enemy species?

Would it be a part of Deathwatch training?

 

I think all of you probably know where Im going with this.

[Slips]

To me:

• Complex enough to properly convey standard Codex Tactics/Orders
• Apart from Chapter Variants, every Space Marine should know Battle Sign as part of their Hypno-Indoctrination; all 30k Marines new Battle Sign, for example.
• It should be, yes.
• A "Standardized" version should be, yes.

So is everyone on board with Slips answers regarding battle sign?

Yup, I would also say it is a safe assumption that anything you can do with current NATO hand symbols (forget the proper name) would be within its abilities.

My experience is with hand signals organic to a Marine fire team and obviously larger units. Ive trained with several foreign militaries and never had any issue getting my point across with just my hands and arms.

 

I figure, if mere mortals in the modern age can do it, what must the pinnacle of human soldiery be capable of?

 

Thanks for the input, post going up soon.

:tu:

 

Hey, at least now this game has an IRL reference to make sure we're not performing impossible hand signals and stuff LOL

I just noticed something. Boudan's character also passed his awareness test. So he could also inform the team of our discovery.

Is it five rolls each or five rolls total?

I think 1  set of rolls for each of us?

[Karack Blackstone]

5 stealth rolls, and five separate attack rolls, players' choice as to which form of attack they intend to use in this encounter.

 

I will endeavor to improve the game, overall; I'm pretty sure it's been feeling a bit lacking recently.

 

To that end, as soon as the rolls are up and I can make the post I intend to make, things should pick back up.

[Slips]

I think you're doing fine, its just the nature of PBP games being relatively slow going once the initial excitement wears off.

[reckoning]

Sorry it took so long, new post up.

[reckoning]

Anyone heard from Boudan? Ive seen Cohort lately.

[Boudan]

Will post tonight

[Karack Blackstone]

*Poke*

 

Is this series of threads still alive, and if so, how much interest is there in going forward?

 

I expect things can continue; the question is what would it take to keep the game fun and engaging?

 

Please advise, all,

 

Thanks,

Karack.

[Slips]

Im all good with continuing and check the section daily myself for any updates.

 

Honestly its the classic symptom of pbp games that they fall off pretty fast in most cases. The only real way to combat this is to have a steady stream of posts from everyone coming in but that can be hard with personal lives and stuff.

[reckoning]

I still check it daily

[Black Cohort]

because posting is slow, I forget to check frequently.

[reckoning]

Email alerts are your friend

[reckoning]

Still in the fight. Posting something in the next few days, mostly replies to Slip and Boudan

 

Hows everyone else doing? Keen on moving this forward?

[Boudan]

Yes, I am definitely still interested.

[Black Cohort]

I just updated
