Death Watch Rebellion of Mandalore Hex vs. Dominion

[Kamon's OOC]

I'd be willing to say you could launch your fighters in your opening post, too, if you're jumping into what you know to be a war zone. You could have pilots in their ships prior to exiting hyperspace. I wouldn't do anything but say you launched them and they're forming up into their squads, though.

And the rest was pretty good, though.

I just enjoy writing larger fleets because I enjoy the greater amount of strategic nonsense I can attempt to pull off.

I was the Mandalorians' primary fleeter for years. What I found was that the larger the fleets, the more it just turned into an ugly brawl. A handful of highly specialized ships designed to operate in tandem produces the highest opportunity for tactical bullshittery. The bigger problem though is that most people have no idea how SW technology or Newtonian physics work, which leads to a great deal of nonsense. Simple stuff like "SW Stygium and Herpaderpium cloaks can't be used while entering or leaving hyperspace, or the ship explodes" or "Herpaderpium cloaks are double-blind and can't be used in asteroid fields" or "Your ship cannot back up at the same speed it moves forward" gets overlooked by a lot of writers and leads to a great deal of headaches when the tactical-minded writer is too busy bashing his head against the desk to enjoy the thread.

Thus, I lost interest in fleeting, the factory, and chaos as a whole. That, and the widespread mimicry of my designs (which were innovative at the time, and are now just... Standard).

So for me... 1-3 ships filling a support role is more fun now. And even then, I don't go out of my way to get involved in such things. Only reason I've got Olivia in the thread at all is because the Space Marines deployed an army right in front of Mishka, and it wouldn't make sense for Olivia not to show up at that point.

It's why I honestly like FO's way of doing fleeting the best. PC captains of vessels instead of running huge fleets.

Witty banter aside…

I do think this is a good opportunity. Rebellions are open. This is an opportunity for factions to take off their gloves and hit their enemies (IC) without the concern of taking or defending territory.


There are large areas where battles can take place in this Rebellion…not just the waste land of Mandlore.

Let this mark an epic moment on the Chaos time line! Release your inhibitions and just have some fun!

That would be fun, but alas the Ascendancy has no IC enemies left aside from the Dominion dregs in the area.

And I have no interest in starting unnecessary wars, lol. I'll probably withdraw my fleet next post.

Ashin, thanks

[member="Ignus"], brother...

The Galactic Alliance and the Jedi have an open theater to destroy Sith owned Capital Ships. If they do not come it is a wasted opportunity.

Gotta love that one sided "Kill them all" mentality.

Some people call that self preservation. Kill them before they have the opportunity to kill you.

Some of us wonder why everyone has to kill everyone.

A wolf does not ask why it needs to feed, it just does. The deer does not ask why it needs to run, it just does to survive.


A wise man does not wish war, but a wise man will pick his battles to win all future wars.

A wise man finds a way to manipulate everyone into not fighting each other, but instead working together.

A Mandalorian punches people in the face and gets what he/she wants.

Garith SR current IC view point he would not wish to see large scale wars all around Mandlore.

As a writer looking for epic stories to write in and read… Yes I will try to promote more activity.

 

[Kamon's OOC]

[member="Olivia Dem'adas"]
lol

[member="Garith Darkhold"]
There's a lot of activity. This thread just got... too much in one location, I think.

So what you’re saying….you would not like Friday Night Speed rps where 40 to 60 people are making small quick posts rapidly into one major collaborative story?

 

[Kamon's OOC]

[member="Garith Darkhold"]
I always avoided those, lol. Had a tendency to get lost.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

[member="Ignus"]

That’s ok, if you did. Not ever thread will fit an individual writer or character.

 

[Kamon's OOC]

[member="Garith Darkhold"]
Yeah, I'd make a post, then look away for five minutes and then when I look back? 25 new posts!

*Nods in understanding*


What I liked about them is it gave the writer less time to over think their post. You would get a raw snap post of what that character was thinking or would do.
