NOTE: This thread was originally going to be renovated into my new RTD, but Plague got lazy. As such, this original post was lost to my renovations before Plague bailed. Sorry!

Sweet, all the operatives are now documented.

Kalon:
You decide that this highly-trained squad of agents looks a little down. After a moment's thought, you decide you should cheer them up with empty bluffing!
Roll: 5!
Miraculously, the other operatives seem to find solace in your empty words. Their newfound confidence quells their fears and soothes them into a calmer mindset.
Global Operative Effect Added: [Confident: 3 Turns] -- +1 to all combat rolls.

Red:
Using God's gift to you (Not boobs! Foresight, dammit!) you deem it advisable to obtain medical implements.
Roll: 3!
It takes a bit of doing, but you manage to put together a passable first aid kit!
Item Obtained: [First Aid Kit: Unexamined, [6/6]]
Rule Discovered: Scavenging attempts always succeed!
Achievement Unlocked: Rule Discovered!- Discover a rule.
Achievement Unlocked: Achievement Unlocked!- Earn an achievement.

Loki:
You quake with fear as you carefully equip your grenades. In an attempt to calm your nerves, you take a moment to pray to everything holy that you didn't just make a horrible mistake.
Roll: 6!
Fear not, little one-- We will prevent disaster!
Something feels different... but you can't quite put your finger on it.
(Note-- I fudged this a little. It's original roll was a 1, but I didn't want to kill everyone quite yet, so I re-rolled.)

Plaguewalker:
You decide that the rest of the world has been trying to make you conform by turning you into a super-secret special-ops agent. As such, you immediately fight against their influence.
Roll: 6!
You immediately renounce all affiliation with the other operatives.
"As soon as we're out there, it's every man for his fucking SELF!"
Furthermore, you deem the other operatives to be Socialist Pigs.

Crazy Hobo:
You feel the confidence of Kalon's speech flowing through you, and decide to build off of what he started.
Roll: 1!
You immediately launch into a half-baked speech regarding aliens, humans, and the respective advantages of each.
In the end, you determine that we're royally fucked.
Global Operative Effect Added: [Demoralized: 2 Turns] -- -1 to all rolls except dodging, which receives a +1 because you're a PANSY!
Plaguewalker- Mental Resistance Roll: 4!
Plaguewalker ignores Crazy Hobo's psychobabble! He knows not to trust Socialist Pigs!

Global Events:
The dropship lands without a hitch, and everyone disembarks.

I've been in stitches the whole time reading the results! ROFL


Immediately upon landing, I take a 360 degree look around, aiming my rifle and humming the Mission Impossible theme (substitute appropriate period equivalent). Agent CrazyHobo's words ring in my head, warring against my own prior speech. I hope I spot an alien soon, so I can snipe it and boost confidence back up to a high, instead of the current cancellation effect both speeches are probably having on my comrades.

If I see an alien, I intend to snipe at it within the same heartbeat.


Edit:
Possible substitute for Mission Impossible theme: "Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah"

SOCIALIST PIG. >.>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I follow out behind Agent Kalon, intent on watching the treacherous Socialist Pig with my full attention. I keep a close eye him, and if he tries anything...I'll pop him in the head with my pistol. Of course, I keep my senses on alert for the Aliens. Socialists or not, Aliens are far worse than my supposed 'comrades'.

YEY FOR ACHIEVEMENTS! \o/

-------------------------------------------------------

Realizing that I'M THE ONLY FEMALE in this alien busting team, I feel EMPOWERED (woo woman empowerment!) that I'm "one of the guys" and probably even manlier than CrazyHobo. I also keep my senses even more alert than ANY OTHER MAN (while following Plague and Kalon) because I realize that I DO NOT want to be tentacle'd by a random alien. >.>

This grenade thing is going to haunt me later down the road. I just know it. <_<;




Loki follows Red out of the jump ship and realizes that she is in fact the only woman among us. I keep my senses alert on Red to make sure she isn't raped by a tentacled alien monster. Right... That's the excuse I'm using for why I'm keeping my eyes on her...

Generic Rule Discovered: You can only execute one action a turn. If you phrase your post in such a way that the GM has you do the wrong thing, it's your OWN DAMN FAULT! Razz

Announcement: The Landing Zone-
The landing site appears to be a clearing in the woods. Pine needles dot the ground, but a handful of deciduous trees intersperse the forest. Patches of dirt dot the clearing where the grass has been torn up by... you don't really know. You can see houses through the branches to your north. and a trail runs by the clearing on it's southern edge. The path heads both east and west, but the trees due south are too thick for you to see through. The sun is lowering in the sky-- you only have a few hours of daylight left, tops.

Daylight Counter: 4!

Operatives-
Kalon:
As the ship lands, you immediately disembark and sweep the area.
Roll: 4 -1=3!
Your cursory search reveals no hostiles. Just a strange old lady muttering to herself.

Plaguewalker:
You stay frosty! After all, you can never tell when those damn socialists will decide it's time to equalize your wallet.
Roll: 5 -1= 4!
Your pistol stays trained on the back of Kalon's head as you stalk out of the ship.
You see him oggling a crazy old lady, but decide it's probably not an offense worthy of the death penalty.
Probably.

Red:
You carefully move towards the dropship's exit, in as manly a fashion as you can.
Roll: 4 -1=3!
Miraculously, you exit the dropship unscathed. More importantly, you didn't get tentacle'd.
As an after thought, you flex your arm just to prove your mantastic manliness.

Loki:
You can't help but notice Red's rear shaking enticingly as she exits the dropship.
Roll: 6 -1 = 5!
You carefully exit the dropship behind her, eyes carefully scanning her for signs of an immanent tentacle attack.

Crazy Hobo:
You prance about like a pansy!
Roll: AUTOSUCCESS!
Why yes, it IS that easy to make a fool of yourself.
(You know the rules dude. Miss a day, and I make up your action.)

Hostile Forces-
Unknown:
An unknown force psionically lashes out!
Target Roll: 6!
Invalid Target!
Target Roll: 4!
Target: Plaguewalker!
Mental Attack Roll: 1!
Mental Defense Roll: 6!
The attack is blocked by Plaguewalker's sheer opposition to all things Socialist!
Learning Roll: 4 -1 = 3 -- Failed.
Rule Discovered: 6s on combat rolls have a 1 in 3 chance of increasing your relevant stats!

Old Lady:
The old lady abruptly stops muttering!
Target Roll: 3!
Target: Loki!
She takes out a large knife from under her sweater, and lunges at Loki!
Physical Attack Roll: 4!
Dodge Roll: 3 +1 +1 = 5!
Loki easily sidesteps the woman, and she staggers to a halt several feet behind him.

Final Note--
I might have missed rules & achievements in this post, because I have a huge headache. I'll double check it in the morning.

Update!
I updated a few things. Namely, Plague got a rule in his mental defense, I gave some background on the drop zone up top, and Loki shouldn't have gotten a counter attempt.

I take aim with my rifle at the hostile old lady's head. Since she seems to have staggered to a stop, a headshot at this close range should be no problem.

Think that men are sexist for ganging up on the hostile old woman - which therefore SHOULD build up my mental resistance against that psychic monster.

Alright, Quaker gets his own Dropship!

Equip: Rifle, Pistol, Conventional Armor

Loki staggered by the impact of the sudden explosion and noticed the condition of those around him were nowhere near as good as they had been moments before. Once again, he leveled his rifle and fired another burst at the crazed old lady.

This mission... rapidly dissolved into anarchy. >.<
Try not to get TOO bogged down in violence. There's much other stuff to do. I mean, for example, you could scavenge together your OWN first aid kit, or even try to do something ridiculous like heal yourself with the soothing power of disco. Well, except for Red. 'Cuz Red is insane now.

^Updated the status sheet on page one, including Red's new achievement!

Also, if I hear from Kalon, we could do an early update today. So I don't need to be up 'till, you know, midnight.

Announcement: Daylight-
The Daylight Counter drops to 2!

Announcement: Combat-
I'm overhauling the combat system to make things more interesting. You were warned.

Announcement: Update Schedule-
I'll be updating this at 10 PM EST from now on. I just realized it's close enough to midnight that for most people, it doesn't make a difference, and I'm sick of staying up 'till 11:50 for one person who's running late. You'll still have a 24-hour period to get your action in, it'll just be from 10 PM to 10 PM instead of 12 AM to 12 AM.

Announcement: Effect Expired-
Crazy Hobo's little "motivational" speech has worn off!

Initiative-
Hostiles: 11!
Operatives: 89!
Operatives move first!

Operatives-
Plaguewalker:
You see Red babbling incoherently, and decide to steal her first aid kit put her out of her misery kill some socialist pigs!
Physical Attack Roll: 4 + 1 = 5!
Dodge Roll: 6!
Mitigation Roll: Irrelevant!
Your aim is true, but Red uses her crazy Asian powers to dodge your bullets, despite her serious injury.
Clip Update: {9/10}

Loki:
Your blood boils when you realize that that old coot has seriously injured over a third of your team! You let loose a spray of hot lead!
Physical Attack Roll: 4 + 1 = 5!
Dodge Roll: 3!
Mitigation Roll: 2!
Your first shot hits her squarely in the shoulder! She cries out in pain!
Physical Attack Roll: 4 + 1 = 5!
Dodge Roll: 5!
She dodges your next shot, and uses the moment to recover from her pain!
Recovery Roll: 4 / 2 = 2!
Rule Discovered: If your using a burst-fire mode, missed/dodged shots give your opponent another attempt to mitigate damage from the previous shot, but at 50% effectiveness!
Physical Attack Roll: 4 + 1 = 5! (I swear, I've rolled each of these separately!)
Dodge Roll: 6!
As the last round of your burst exits the barrel, the old woman flashsteps away again -- reappearing amidst the smoking ruin of Quaker's dropship.
Final Damage: 5 - 2 - 2 = 1!
Target Health Update: [3/4]
Clip Update: {12/18}
Note: I rebalanced the combat system in an attempt to make things less decisive, so that insta-kills where you get no chance to respond are rarer. I did NOT implement these rules just so the crazy lady would survive longer... though, that is a pleasant side effect.

Red:
Your shadow looks displeased at your lack of response!
Insanity Action!
Roll: 1!
It shoots you a menacing glare. Your shadow is like... part of you, or something. You feel bad for ignoring it.
Mental Damage Roll: 1!
Mental Mitigation Roll: 6!
Your feeling of guilt is short-lived, however. You watch contently as your shadow continues dancing, until your spirit animal approaches!
What is it?
Sanity Update: [-5/Gorilla]

Crazy Hobo:
You attempt to save Red in the easiest way possible-- by spilling yet more blood!
Physical Attack Roll: 1 + 1 = 2!
Physical Dodge Roll: 2!
Mitigation Roll: Irrelevant!
Plaguewalker barely rolls into the cover of some dropship wreckage before you open fire, and your bullet bounces off it's charred armor!
Clip Update: {17/18}

Announcement: Plaguewalker has identified a Socialist Infiltrator on the team! He should have known all along, homelessness is a sure tip-off for communism and witchcraft!

Kalon:
I'm not going to put you down as idle yet, and I'll edit an action in here provided you get it in by midnight EST.

Quakernuts II:
You completely ignore piloting the dropship this time, and just hope for the best!
Roll: 3!
You seriously suck at hoping.

Raptorman:
Seeing as your good friend Quakernuts II has resigned himself to a fiery death, presumably out of grief from Quakernuts I's similar fate, you take matters into your own hands!
Roll: 6!
You land that dropship!
You land it like a BOSS!
You land it sooo close to the team, that you actually crush one of them!
Target Roll: 3!
Target: Loki!
Physical Attack: 6 (Predetermined)
Physical Dodge Roll: 6!
Mitigation Roll: Irrelevant!
Loki rolls out of the way at the last second, proving once more that he cannot be harmed!

Hostiles-
Old Lady:
The old lady scavenges in the ruins of Quakernuts I's dropship, looking for something...
Roll: 3!
She recovers Quakernuts I's pistol!

Final Notes:
I'm gonna give you guys some tips, seeing as you guys are doing sooo well. Take advantage of the fact that everything is determined by dice rolls. You can bend the laws of physics with the right roll, so don't be afraid to try. Also, someone might want to spend a turn offering therapy to Red. >.>
Lastly, I'll update the front page tomorrow, because I'm too goddamn lazy to do it now.

Glares at Raptorman before firing at the crazy lady with his rifle, determined to kill off the bitch.

As he exits the dropship he notices the crazy red. Raptor uses his mad mental/speech manipulation skills honed by years as a darklord to attempt to make red sane once more.

Use my spirit animal (which I hope is a kitty) to SCAN THE AREA FOR UNSEEN ENEMIES. Also, make-out with my shadow for an ego boost.

Quaker walks out of the dropship, unfazed by his lack of attempt to pilot the dropship. Noticing that one of his comrades is under attack, fires a three round burst at the old lady.

SOCIALISTS. NOTHING BUT SOCIALISTS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have quickly realized that my intial thoughts on my team were correct! They're ALL socialist pig-dogs! But my wounds require immeadiate aid...thus, I must use all of my knowledge to battle this socialist threat that is equalizing my internal organs! I call upon the epic powers of DIO, to heal my wounds! DIO, DESCEND FROM YOUR THRONE ON HIGH!
