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

Maybe they don't care because they're planning on moving Lab 101 to a new state soon. I'm not sure about that.

But I do think it would make the Schutzhund more relevant to the main storyline instead of appearing more like a sidequest.

I think I've got it! The Schutzhund competition is a sham. The winners get kidnapped and experimented on and the losers just go home.

Montgomery and O'Neill will appear as competitors. If they win, they get "disqualified" for "breaking a rule".

Neville and Cobalt leader could work as the kidnapping victims.

Sounds like an idea, more of a reason for Trinity to be there as a contestant as well, kidnapping a victum or two for Kain to work on perhaps.

However, Subject 19 wont be there, least she gets annoyed and starts killing everyone around her :lol:

Okay, the 3 kidnapping victims are Aisha, Cobalt Leader and Neville.

The kidnappers will only kidnap the top 3... and those will be the top three.

Alrighty, cool.  I do wonder who Trinity would be able to kidnap.  Granted, they will most likely see her in the competition, you know, not using any disguise, well, at the moment, the only thing she would change would be her hair being dyed a different colour you know, for the competition, but as to not give herself away as much.

Just so you guys know, and have not figured it out by now, Hailey's having a change of heart from the bad guys to the good guys after seeing and talking to Aimee again....so yeah, she'll be joining the group cause of Aimee :lol:

I can get a proper profile of Hailey up soon enough too ;)

Yay! She intrigued me as a character, and I was sad that she apparently was just going to die with the rest of Terror Squad (total assumption on my part, FYI)

Just for clarification's sake: Is Hailey bisexual? (that wouldn't bother me in the slightest, and would actually be the first example of a deviant sexuality in Darwin's Soldiers!  :lol: )

Hehe yeah, I never had planned for her to die, this is what I had planned for her, to see Aimee again and have her mind changed about things you know....to Hailey, so far, only Aimee can change her mind on things.

However, the rest of Terror Squad will die, that's for certain, just Hailey was the one who wasn't going to die.

And yes, you're right, she is bisexual with a crush on Aimee as well, but whether or not Aimee feels the same back, I'm not going to reveal anything about that as of yet, gonna keep that a secret for now XD

Just a quick question, what do you mean by a "First example of a deviant sexuality"? Kinda confused on that one is all :oops

To the most of my knowledge, every main character in Darwin's Soldiers has been heterosexual, that's all. Maybe deviant was the wrong word.

Ah okay, I see what you mean anyway.  Wanted something that was a bit different you know, and there's Hailey, a female who likes both guys and girls and even has a secret crush on her best friend :lol:

Good. Now Stern won't have to kill her, after all.

BTW, I'm adding a male Vulpine to the story soon. A fox-like character who is the same species as Aimee and Hailey, named Aydin.

Don't actually start the competition until I come up with the logistics of it first. In-universe, they still have to set up the courses and prepare everything before the competitors can shoot even if registrations are closed.

Yeah your characters can enter but the competition is almost starting, though.

Basically, the order which events occur for each competitor is random (Ex: Spc. Crota may get practical shooting first but Neville gets protection first).

There are 3 of the "searching houses" and 3 "clearing houses" inside the "hangar". Each competitor enters 1 of the houses so 3 "searchers" and 3 "clearers" are competing at the same time but not immediately against each. After each "batch" of competitors goes through, the staff go into the house and "reset" everything (remove the shell casings, clean off the paint from the simulated rounds, put the "bomb" back in etc.) The TV screens at this point will show either ads or "instant replays".

Also, the searchers will have to wear the heavy bomb suits (for added realism) while they are doing the competition.

Protection and practical shooting take place outside. There are 2 separate courses for each so 2 protection competitors can compete at the same time and 2 practical shooters can compete at the same time. After each run through, targets are reset but the courses are otherwise untouched. Ads and instant replays are likewise shown for the "clean up".

Live ammunition is used ONLY for the practical shooting (any unused ammunition must be returned.). Simulated "paintball" ammunition is used for the protection and clearing competitions. Thus, firearms are converted so they can only chamber and fire the "simunition" during the protection and clearing competitions. All competitors are required to wear earplugs and shooting glasses (except during the searching competition). However, during the protection and clearing competitions, all competitors (and VIPs and "hostiles") will be required to wear a full protective suit, full face helmet and gloves for safety reasons.

As Trinity is in the compeition, well, waiting around for it to start, and that you said two of your other characters would be joining in I believe, would they know about Trinity?

Reason I ask is cause they could know Kain, and know Trinity through Kain sort of thing, perhaps having met her on regular basis as well at times, since Trinity does travel a bit.

Just an idea of some sort I better throw out there.  Also, in the competition, Trinity does go by the name of Raven you know, not wanting to blow her cover as she is unaware at the moment of what Hailey has just done, switching sides you know.

But yeah, sounds like a plan with what you had just posted Serris, will of course be refeering back to that when need be as to not get things wrong in the competition since two of my characters are part of it XD

One other thing I want to add: the "searching" competition and "clearing competition" take place in scaled down mockups of a well off suburban houses with a bathroom, two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. All of the rooms are stocked with the things that one would expect to find in a real house.

Is it okay if I throw in a second character of mine in said competition? Drake and I had a talk about adding a new char of mine.
