The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I'll start a second fight with Stern killing some more as soon as I am there. You have my word on it.

Ah, awesome, Lab 101 sounds evil enough as it is :lol:

I take it they'll start by perhaps, searching a city or something?  Or is it going to be something else?  Just wondering is all ^^
Unfortunately, I have no idea how they will discover the lab. Anybody have suggestions?

The lab is located in a heavily forested area but t6he city may yield clues (not sure how that will turn out though).

I could in fact, incorporate Sharon Varma, the Dhole from the first RP in this.

I haven't decided whether to add her in as an actual playable "public domain" character or just as a cameo.

Public Domain Characters:

Spc. Mitchell Crota,
Sgt. Larry Masters
PFC Christopher Reynolds
Cobalt Leader
Cobalt Squad
(Sharon Varma?)

Note that Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters are members of Cobalt Squad and they are snakes, which in this universe have no legs but they do have arms.

The loggers could give you some information. Their motivation to do so would be so that they could get rid of one of their competitors.

Yeah, and that way, I could also have Aimee perhaps search for other clues on the Trinity Facility as well, two things at once for her XD

I thought of a pretty interesting idea for finding Lab 101:

The group will head to the city (Aimee will probably find more info for own purposes there) but when they head back to the hotel.

At that point, Spc. Crota is hosting the Wolf foreman inside Hans and Werner's room. The foreman will give them where Lab 101 is. But his motive is a bit convoluted: he suspects that a competitor of Nemus Logging is running a meth lab in one of its base camps and he tells the group because he wants to deal them a financial blow or slander them and possibly get some competitors "out of the way". And that "meth lab" is Lab 101.

Culeston is supposed to be somewhat close to the Oregon coastline (about 40-50 miles) and the nearest city would probably be the (real) city of Lincoln City (population: ~7,000 as of 2000 but for the RP, how about we give it a population of say 21,000?)

Oh yes, the more the merrier for population!

But I take it you mean, hotel then city? Or city then hotel?  Can't quiet tell on what direction you're coming from with that, but either way works for me ^^

Is Culeston a city as well? Or is that a section of Oregon?  Remember, I'm not an American, so I wouldn't actually know....so sorry if my questions seem a bit odd at times :lol:

Sounds good to me. Once you guys have reached the Dragonstorm camp, I've thought of a cool way to bring Shelton back.

The characters will travel to the hotel, freshen up and meet with Hans and Werner. Cobalt Squad (except for Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters who be joining Neville on guard duty) will be joining them.

Culeston is a small logging town (population would be about 7,100).

I think we should slow down a little so Noname can keep up.

I'm here. I cannot help that the law schools demand such long, convoluted applications, or that they make me write so many things just to apply. You can slow a bit if you want, but it is hardly necessary at the moment. The two applications that were most urgent are in, and the last of the six that I will apply to are not due until April 1st.

Sounds like things are starting to get moving! Awesome!!! :D

In other news, I was rereading Pavlov's Checkmate and realized that Clyco's cameo now makes no sense, since he's returned to Canada. With Noname's permission, I've changed the reference to Corporal Stern.

That's cool. Feel free to use Stern in whatever capacity you see fit, as long as you ask me before doing anything you think might be controversial (i.e. killing a large number of people, burning a building, etc.)

So Noname, what should I do with Cpl. Stern until Easter Break?

Shall I temporarily release him into the "public domain" until then, have him follow the group "behind the scenes" or do something else?

I'll be able to post from time to time. It's not like I'll have NO time here. If that was the case, I'd mention it in the "Lands Unknown" thread.
