Bah, Soundwave can take care of himself....after all, he's wearing/using rather dangerous armour as it is

Hey, so there are three Dragonstorm bases left (Texas, New Peenemunde, and DC), and four major antagonists: O'Neil, Montgomery, Trinity, and Zenarchis. I was thinking we should figure out when each major antagonist should die.

Since Montgomery and Zenarchis are the only ones in Texas Base, and Zenarchis should be the 'final boss', I think Montgomery should die in Texas. Since we agreed ages ago that O'Neil should survive the RP, he could be captured in New Peenemunde, and supply the information to discover and defeat Zenarchis at Washington DC.

Drake, Trinity is your character, so its your call as to what happens to her and when she dies, though she is currently at New Peenemunde and it would fit well with the story for her to die there, since that leaves Zenarchis alone at a base we've never even seen.

These are just suggestions, what does everyone else think?

There is a fourth one I mentioned a long time ago off the NJ coast as a homage to the state I live in but I will let everyone decide.

MrDrake · **Reply #1103 on:** May 01, 2011, 01:51:42 AM

Well, in DC, there is still Dietrik as well to worry about. But then again, he isn't a major antagonist, unlike Death. And don't worry, Death will be defeated with the other Horsemen before Zenarchis is defeated, so no need to worry about that

As for Trinity, not too sure about that just yet. But having her die before killing Zenarchis is an idea. I mean, she could still survive New Peenumunde where Soundwave is destroyed/deleted and retreat sort of thing and be confronted again before Zenarchis is confronted.

I will say this, War will be defeated in Vegas. Pestilence could very well be killed where Soundwave is and Famine....not sure, possibly at another base....or even on the way to a base Alfred and co could encounter him.

so should we go to that one...?

Okay, I'm reading through the second roleplay, and I don't get it....why exactly did Crimson Base blow up Pelvanida? The bomb had been neutralized, Dragonstorm had already left, and the section of the RP never explains why it's occurring.

Here's all the transmissions given from Crimson Base's introduction to the decision to bomb:

Quote from: Crimson Base on

Crimson Base to Cobalt Squadron Leader. Come in...

Quote from: Cobalt Leader on

Crimson Base, this is Cobalt Leader.

Quote from: Crimson Base on

Crimson Base to Cobalt Leader. Can you give us your position and situation in Pelvanida. Last reports have said a thermo-weapon bomb was located in the base

Quote from: Cobalt Leader on

We are searching for Hans and Werner Donitz. The base appears to be almost deserted as of now but we ran into some tanks outside. As for the bomb...

Quote from: James Zanasiu on

The bomb's been deactivated. Alfred and Aisha cut the power

Quote from: Cobalt Leader on

The bomb has been deactivated. As for position, we are inside a lab but due to damage sustained, we are unable to determine which lab

Quote from: Crimson Base on

Crimson Base to Cobalt Leader. The US Armed Forces have reportedly withdrawn from the base. There should be no military presence there. We'll have recon over the base in 5 minutes, and air strike wings are mobilizing to launch in a few moments. Is there anything you need until then?

Quote from: Cobalt Leader on

Crimson Base, this is Cobalt Leader. We are in no need of anything as of now. Shall we prepare for evacuation?

Quote from: Crimson Base on

Crimson Base to Cobalt Leader. Air strike will be armed with deep-penetration and air burst munitions. Evacuation is greatly advised no later than 20 minutes

Serris · **Reply #1106 on:** May 10, 2011, 01:25:09 PM

As far as I can tell, Crimson Base probably wanted to eradicate all presence of Dragonstorm.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1107 on:** May 11, 2011, 03:53:08 AM

Well, that was stupid of them. Pelvanida cost thousands, maybe even millions of dollars to build. Plus there might have been data or something that they could have used to locate/learn more about Dragonstorm. And it was a known fact that there were innocent personnel in the facility.

Plus, what was the point of James' team stopping the fusion reactor from blowing up if Crimson just came the base up anyway?

Serris · **Reply #1108 on:** May 15, 2011, 12:46:32 AM

Millions? Try billions.

Looking back at that option, it seemed like it was a GIANT clusterf--- both in story and out of story.

I know this goes under the Contrived Stupidity but which one?

Nick22 · **Reply #1109 on:** May 15, 2011, 01:00:10 AM

i think it falls under " end story by whatever means possible, even if it diesn't make much sense".

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1110 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:01:22 PM

I was about two-thirds done with two more Darwin's Soldiers stories, but a computer crash just erased them

One of them was like 50 pages long, double spaced.

Serris · **Reply #1111 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:06:20 PM

Ouch. What is the prospect of recovery?

I feel your pain, I accidentally deleted the opening chapter to Sharon's tale.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1112 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:20:33 PM

Well, I found an older draft of Nietzsche's Soldiers 3, from before I went through and pretty drastically changed the story. I can work from there.

The other story, called Ground One, was written on my AlphaSmart and transferred to the computer, so it wasn't on there long enough to be rescued. this is a pretty bad setback, but I'm writing everything I can remember about the story in a document now. This might be an opportunity to make it more streamlined, I'd been worrying about the original's lack of focus.

I guess there's that.

Nick22 · **Reply #1113 on:** June 05, 2011, 10:11:58 PM

well i hope you can recover much of what you wrote..

MrDrake · **Reply #1114 on:** June 11, 2011, 02:01:06 AM

I've gotta bring up something I've lost track, and that's where Kiara is suppose to be now...I lost track of my won character after that bombing.....so sue me

Serris · **Reply #1115 on:** June 12, 2011, 10:46:22 PM

I believe Kiara and Neville are trying to get in contact with the rest of the team.

I will rectify this situation.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1116 on:** June 19, 2011, 12:51:48 PM

Where was Kain's facility again? What state?

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1117 on:** July 06, 2011, 05:47:03 AM

Finished Netzsche's Soldiers 3!

I'll be ready to post it in the next few days, once in get a new power cord for my computer; I can only surf the web on my iPod right now.

And congrats to Drake for starting a third Darwin's Soldiers story!

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1118 on:** July 17, 2011, 03:50:52 PM

Hey, could people remember to keep posting in this roleplay? It's kinda grown stagnant.

Nick22 · **Reply #1119 on:** July 17, 2011, 05:29:47 PM

right, i'll get on that asap..
